Fries, Adelaide L. (Adelaide Lisetta), 1871-1949

"The Moravians in Georgia, 1735-1740"

This preacher loses no opportunity to be present
at our song service; he spares no pains to perform the duties of his office
and he likes us. We wish we could converse freely with him, so that
we could more carefully explain the way of God to him. -- Dober's Diary.)
----
Wesley. Nov. 23rd, Sunday.
At night I was waked by the tossing of the ship, and roaring of the wind,
and plainly showed I was unfit, for I was unwilling to die.
====== 7 Dec. 1735.
Nitschmann. Dec. 7th.
A great storm, and we thanked God that we were in a safe harbor.
====== 10 Dec. 1735.
Nitschmann. Dec. 10th.
All hands summoned to lift the anchor. Mr. Oglethorpe called me,
took me by the hand, led me into the cabin, and gave me 1 Pound
for the Brethren. Later the wind was again contrary, and we had to lie still.
====== 18 Dec. 1735.
Nitschmann. Dec. 18th.
We lifted the anchor at three o'clock, but as we got under sail
the wind changed again. We must stay still, but what the Lord intends
we do not know.
----
Wesley. Dec. 7th, Sunday.
Finding nature did not require such frequent supplies
as we had been accustomed to, we agreed to leave off suppers;
from doing which we have hitherto found no inconvenience.
