  Aim and Attainment.

When the "first company" left Herrnhut for London and the New World,
they took with them Count Zinzendorf's formal "Instructions" for the
conduct of their affairs:

"I shall not attempt to tell you what you are to do from day to day. I
know that in many ways Love will lead you, prepare the way, and point
out your path. I shall only bid you remember the principles and customs
of our Congregation, in which, if you stand fast, you will do well. Your
one aim will be to establish a little place near the heathen where you
may gather together the dispersed in Israel, patiently win back the
wayward, and instruct the heathen tribes.

"You have and will ask nothing more than the opportunity to attain this
end through your own labors, but you will request free transportation
for yourselves and those who will follow you,--if they receive your
present small number the Lord will send you more.

"If you should be tempted to injure any work of the Lord for my
sake, refrain from doing it, remembering that I am under a gracious
guardianship which nothing can disturb.

"You will take absolutely no part in the Spangenberg-Halle controversy;
you know the mind of the Congregation regarding it. If you find people
prejudiced against you leave it to Him who has bidden you go to Georgia.
Enter into no disputes, but, if questions are asked, give the history of
the Congregation, being careful not to censure our opposers, and saying,
which is true, that the Congregation at Herrnhut gives them little
heed. Entire freedom of conscience must be granted you, but there may be
points which you can yield without injuring the cause of Christ,--if so
you will find them in due time.

"You must live alone, establishing your own little corner, where your
customs will irritate no one; and as soon as you are settled
should be a real day 
 of rest. " As an immediate beginning, they on Saturday evening unite in 
 a Lovefeast, where " we echo much loving - kindness which God has shown 
 us hitherto; Toeltschig wash the feet of the Brethren; we remained 
 in concert until very late, and were truly blessed. "
