ek in Georgia the invalids were better, and
matters were in such a shape that the Moravians resolved "that on each
Saturday work should stop early, and every Sunday should be a real day
of rest." As an immediate beginning, they on Saturday evening united in
a Lovefeast, where "we recalled much loving-kindness which God has shown
us hitherto; Toeltschig washed the feet of the Brethren; we remained
together until very late, and were truly blessed."

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
