ast decided to send a messenger to Count
Zinzendorf, and the lot designated Andrew Dober.

A ship was lying at anchor, ready to take Gen. Oglethorpe to England,
and he readily agreed to take Dober and wife with him, and on December
2nd, they embarked, Dober carrying a number of letters and papers. Mrs.
Dober was quite ill when they left, but rapidly improved in the sea
breezes. January 20th, the ship reached London, and Mr. and Mrs. Dober
went at once to Mr. Weintraube, who was to forward the letters to
Herrnhut. As they were talking Bishop Nitschmann walked in, to their
mutual great astonishment. He reported that Count Zinzendorf had just
arrived in London, and had sent to inquire for letters, so those brought
from Georgia were at once delivered. Zinzendorf rented a house, the
Countess arrived a few days later, and Dober and wife remained in his
service during the seven weeks of his stay.

The Count's object in visiting London at this time was fourfold: to
confer with the Georgia Trustees about the Moravians in Savannah; to
extend acquaintances among the Germans in London and do religious
work among them; to discuss the Episcopate of the Unitas Fratrum with
Archbishop Potter of Canterbury; and if possible to revive the "Order
of the Mustard Seed". This order had been established by Zinzendorf and
several companions in their early boyhood, and grew with their growth,
numbering many famous men in its ranks, and it is worthy of note that
even in its boyish form it contained the germs of that zeal for missions
which was such a dominant feature of the Count's manhood.

Archbishop Potter not only fully acknowledged the validity of the
Unity's Episcopate, but urged Zinzendorf himself to accept consecration
at the hands of Jablonski and David Nitschmann, and encouraged by him
Zinzendorf was consecrated bishop at Berlin, May 20th, 1737.

The Count held frequent services during his stay in London, and before
he left a society of ten members had been formed among the Germans, with
a few simple regulations, their object being "in simplicity to look to
these three things:--to be saved by the blood of Christ; to become holy,
or be sanctified by the blood of Christ; to love one another heartily."

With the Trustees it was agreed: "That the Count's men" might remain for
two years longer at Savannah, without cultivating the five hundred
acre tract, "and be exempt from all forfeitures arising from such
non-cultivation;" but if they
