 That
Seifert had been empowered to delegate to another member a duty usually
reserved for the clergy, was reasonable, though unusual, for his serious
illness or death would have left the Congregation without ministration
until word could be sent to Germany, and some one else could come to
take his place,--a matter of months,--but, when the "Aeltester" was
present, in full health, in entire accord with his Congregation, and
when he in person confirmed candidates for Church membership, why did
he not marry and baptize directly, instead of ordaining a "Diener"
especially for those two offices? There must have been some regulation
in the Congregation at Herrnhut which led to it, for the idea that
Seifert himself should marry Waschke and Juliana, and baptize the Rose
children, evidently did not occur to them, but the rule can not now be
found, and there is no clue to the strange proceeding.

Soon after the Waschke affair had been settled to the satisfaction of
all parties, serious trouble had arisen with Jag and Haberecht. It was
reported to the Moravians that Jag had engaged himself to a Swiss woman
living in Savannah, and when questioned he admitted that it was true.
They argued with him, and pled with him, but to no avail, and finally
told him plainly that they would not allow him to bring the woman to
their house, and more than that, if he persisted in his determination
he would have to leave them; and angry and defiant he did take his
departure the next day, July the 10th.

That "troubles never come singly" was exemplified, for the very day that
Jag left, Haberecht went to Toeltschig, and asked if some way could not
be found so that HE could marry that same Swiss woman! Toeltschig was
almost stunned by this second blow, and gave a stern answer, whereupon
Haberecht applied to Seifert, the Aeltester, who was equally as
unyielding in his condemnation of the acquaintance already made, and his
refusal to countenance further steps. Poor Haberecht, less resolute than
Jag in his rebellion, drank deeply of the waters of Marah during the
next weeks; promising to give up the woman, who
