His report gave a new turn to the American plans, for both he and
Spangenberg were much pleased with Pennsylvania. Quite a number of the
settlers seemed open to the idea of mutual aid in the spiritual life,
material conditions were very different from those in Georgia and better
suited to the Moravian needs, the Quaker Governor was not likely to
force military service upon people who held the same theories as himself
in regard to warfare, and there were large tribes of Indians within easy
reach, to whom the Gospel might be preached. As troubles thickened in
Savannah, therefore, the heads of the Church at Herrnhut began to look

The same day that Bishop Nitschmann left Savannah, John Wesley moved
into the parsonage which had just been vacated by his predecessor, Mr.
Quincy. A week earlier he had entered upon his ministry at Savannah,
being met by so large and attentive an audience that he was much
encouraged, and began with zeal to perform his pastoral duties. He was
the third Rector of the Savannah Parish, the Rev. Henry Herbert having
been the first, and he preached in a rude chapel built on the lot
reserved for a house of worship in the original plan of Savannah,--the
site of the present Christ Church.

The first word of discouragement was brought by Ingham, who returned
from Frederica on April 10th, with a message from Charles Wesley begging
his brother to come to his relief. He told a woeful story of persecution
by the settlers, and injustice from Oglethorpe to Charles Wesley, all
undeserved, as Oglethorpe freely admitted when he threw off the weight
of suspicion laid upon his mind by malicious slanderers, and sought
an interview with his young secretary, in which much was explained and
forgiven. But poor Charles was in great stra

 settlers seemed receptive to the estimate of mutual aid in the spiritual life,
