Count Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf arrived in Philadelphia in 1741 and held a series of "Unity" conferences to which all German "sects' were invited. He stopped at the home of a "venerable Mennonite leader" at Skippack (either Martin Kolb or elderly Yellis Cassel) and encouraged them to attend the conferences. The leader " received the Count graciously, listened patiently, but declared the times was too short to send qualified delegates" to the next meeting. Some of the meetings "grew violent" and people felt the Count was too domineering, Yellis Cassel attended the third meeting and the Count asked him to "subscribe" to the unity movement in the name of the Mennonites.
"I'll wager with you whatever you wish, that in less than a year half of the Mennonites will be Moravian."
"I have no wager to make"
Why won't you wager?"
"Wager is for idle fellows and light- minded people. I'll wager nothing and I won't sign either," said
Yellis Cassel.
