"The Moravians in Georgia, 1735-1740"

When the rest of the people
were come on shore, we called our little flock together to prayers.
Several parts of the Second Lesson (Mark 6) were wonderfully suited
to the occasion.
====== 18 Feb. 1736.
Nitschmann. Feb. 18th.
(About six o'clock in the evening, Br. Spangenberg came from Savannah to us,
which made us very glad and thankful. He told us of the death of Br. Riedel,
and held the song service, praying and thanking God for having brought us
together again. -- Dober's Diary.)
----
Wesley. Feb. 7th.
Mr. Oglethorpe returned from Savannah with Mr. Spangenberg,
one of the pastors of the Germans. I soon found what spirit he was of;
and asked his advice with regard to my own conduct.
====== 19 & 20 Feb. 1736.
Nitschmann. Feb. 19th and 20th.
(We waited for the small vessel that was to come for us.

Wesley. Feb. 9th.
I asked Mr. Spangenberg many questions, both concerning himself
and the church at Herrnhut.

(The small vessel came; we had much rain, and the wind
was so strong against us that we had to spend the night on the transport.
