America, which brought the first impres-
sion of that in Herrnhag 1741 very
fresh to my mind, but I was sorry,
I could not enjoy in in such a
manner as I wished to do.I had to
struggle, particularly in the beginning
with many difficulties, being young
and unexperienced, and had no body
to whom I could open my heart and
consult with, so as I wished; which
made it sometimes very heavy to me.
But my dear savior helped me through
whenever I turned to him in my dis-
tress. I visited frequently in the most
of the country congress which lay very
distant from each other. In the year
1755 a war broke out between the
French and English, and as the indi-
ans generally took share and joined
one of the other party, we had very
difficult time at Bethlehem and
Nazareth. First the settlement of
the Brethren at the Mahomy about
///
27 miles from Bethlehem<placename> </placename>was destroyed
by the Indians, where 11 Brothers and Sisters lost
their lives, after which many mur-
ders were committed much nearer, till
at last within 6 miles of Bethle- <placename></placename>
hem. We knew that we were closely
watched by the Indians who would
gladly have destroyed the place which
at that time was the only one capable
of making any resistance to their
Incursion. The reports of their cruelties
at other places kept us in con-
tinual alarm and apprehension,
particularly as Indians were some-
times observed to lurk about and
in the place at nights.
However the strict watch kept by
the Brethren in many parts and particularly
about our house but above all
the protection of our good <persname>Lord</persname>, always
frustrated their designs. During
all these heavy times, our dear<persname> Lord</persname>
was our only comfort and his peace
