He died at Goshen, Ohio, Nov. 17th, 1808, having labored among the
Indians for sixty years.

Like Spangenberg, Peter Boehler's story belongs to the whole Moravian
Church, rather than to the Georgia colony. His time was divided
between England and America, in both of which spheres he labored most
successfully. Jan. 10th, 1748, he was consecrated bishop at Marienborn,
Germany. After Zinzendorf's death he helped frame the new Church
constitution, and in 1769 was elected to the governing board of the
entire Unitas Fratrum. He died in London, April 20th, 1774, having been
there for a year on a visitation to the English congregations of the
Moravian Church.

  Later Attempts in Georgia.

            1740.

May 18th, 1740, John Hagen arrived in Savannah. He had come over
intending to go as missionary to the Cherokees, and his disappointment
in finding that the Moravians had abandoned Georgia is another example
of the enormous difficulty under which mission work was conducted in
those days, when the most momentous events might transpire months before
the authorities at home could be apprised of them.

Hagen had become very ill on the way from Charleston to Savannah,
and with none of his own people to turn to he bethought himself of
Whitefield's offers of friendship, and went to his house. He was kindly
received by those who were living there, and though he went down to the
gates of death the portals did not open, and he rapidly regained his
health.

Visiting Irene he found only a few Indian women, for Tomochichi was
dead, and the men were all on the warpath. The opportunity of going to
the Cherokees seemed very doubtful, for there were none living nearer
than three hundred miles, and distances looked much greater in the
Georgia forests than in his own populous Germany. So he concluded to
accept the kind offers of Whitefield's household, a
