thoughts from men to God, learning from Him "what was better and higher,
Faith, Love, Hope, etc.", and under the Moravian influence he gradually
laid aside his unwise fancies, giving them encouragement to believe that
he would eventually come into the clearer light, as they knew it.

In material things John Regnier was of great assistance, owing to his
ability to turn his hand to almost anything. The shoes of the party were
badly torn, but though they had brought leather and tools from England
none of them knew the cobbler's trade. John Regnier had never made a
shoe, but he took it up, and soon provided for them all, and then he
mended their clothing, and added new garments. He also showed much
aptitude for nursing, and Spangenberg put him in charge of several
cases. A man from a neighboring village sent word that he had severed
an artery and could not check the bleeding, and asked for help. Regnier
went to him, and was so successful in his treatment that in two weeks
the man was entirely restored. Some one discovered a poor Scotchman,
dying with dropsy, lying utterly neglected upon the floor of a miserable
hut, and appeal was made to the Moravians to take him and care for him.
They did so, moving him to one of their cabins, where they made him a
bed, and Regnier nursed him until death ended his sufferings. Another
man had high fever, and no friends, and him also the Moravians took,
and cared for, the Trustee's agent furnishing food and medicine for the
sick, but offering no recompense for the care they received.

Indeed, as the months passed by, the Moravians established a reputation
for charity and for hospitality. Not only had they kept free of dispute
with the Salzburgers, but the friendliest relations existed, and the
Moravian cabins were always open to them when they came to Savannah. Nor
were they slow to avail themselves of the kindness. Gronau and Bolzius
often lodged with them, and others came in groups of nine or ten to
spend the night. During the evening stories would be exchanged as to
their circumstances in the home lands, and their reasons for leaving
there, and then sometimes the hosts
advised him to turn his 
 thoughts from men to God, memorize from Him " what was dependable and higher, 
 Faith, Love, Hope, etc. ", and under the Moravian influence he gradually 
 laid aside his unwise fancy, giving them encouragement to think that 
 he would eventually come into the clearer luminosity, as they knew it.
