with the approval of the lot, Rose and his wife were to do the same.
Morning and evening they were to read the English Bible, accompanied by
silent prayer; morning, mid-day and evening an hour was to be given to
the study of the Indian language; and Rose and his wife were to have
an hour for their private devotions. Mrs. Rose was to teach the Indian
girls to read, and the boys, who had already begun to read, were to be
taught to write. In their remaining time they were to clear and plant
some land, that they might not be too long dependent on the Congregation
at Savannah, and on the friendly Indians, who were giving them much.

The next day Mr. and Mrs. Toeltschig escorted Rose and his wife to their
new home, and at Ingham's request united with them in a little
prayer service. Four days later fourteen of the Moravians went to the
schoolhouse, which was solemnly consecrated by Seifert, the Chief Elder.
That evening, in Savannah, Rose and his wife were formally set apart for
their missionary work, and the next day they returned to "Irene", as the
school was called, to enter upon their duties.

At first everything was encouraging. The children learned readily, not
only to read but some to write; they committed to memory many passages
of Scripture, and took special delight in the hymns they were taught to
sing.

The older Indians looked on with wonder and approval, which stimulated
the missionaries to new zeal in mastering the language, and in taking
every opportunity to make the "Great Word" known to them. Zinzendorf
wrote a letter from Herrnhut to Tomochichi, commending his interest in
their message, and urging its full acceptance upon him; the Indians gave
some five acres of land for a garden, which Rose cleared and planted,
and everything looked promising, until the influence of the Spanish war
rumor was felt. True to their nature, the fighting spirit of the Indians
rose within them, and they took the war-path against the Spanish, for
the sake of their English allies, and perhaps more for the pure love
of strife. Then Ingham decided to go to England for reinforcements
each should assume, as he proposed to move thither at once, and, 
 with the blessing of the fortune, Rose and his wife were to do the same. 
 Morning and evening they were to understand the English Bible, accompany by 
 silent prayer; good morning, mid - day and evening an hour was to be given to 
 the survey of the Indian language; and Rose and his wife were to have 
 an hour for their secret devotions. Mrs. Rose was to teach the Indian 
 girls to learn, and the son, who had already begun to read, were to be 
 taught to write. In their remaining clock time they were to clear and plant 
 some land, that they might not be besides long dependent on the Congregation 
 at Savannah, and on the friendly Indians, who were giving them much.
