They resolved in the future to commune every two weeks,
but soon formed the habit, perhaps under Wesley's influence,
of coming to the Lord's Table every Sunday.
When Spangenberg returned to them, a conference was held each evening,
and on Sunday they had a Lovefeast, especially for those who had been selected
to superintend the material and spiritual affairs of the Congregation.
On the 1st of March, John and Charles Wesley called on them,
and on the 6th, Charles Wesley came again, and "opened his heart" to them.
The Diary calls him "an awakened but flighty man," who had come
as Gov. Oglethorpe's secretary, and was now about to go to Frederica
as pastor of that turbulent flock. From him Spangenberg learned
of Oglethorpe's return from Altamaha, and accompanied by Nitschmann
went with him to the ship, where the Wesleys were still living.
Two days were spent with Oglethorpe, who promised to give them
ground containing a good bed of clay, where they could make brick,
which should be sold to the Trustees' agent at 15 shillings per 1,000,
two-thirds of the price to be applied on their debt,
and one-third to be paid them in cash.
