The letter for the wife and little girl was written, and money sent to bring them from the place where Loretz had left them when he set out in search of occupation, to find employment as a porter, and the fever, and Albert Spener.
They went farther to the east, and Spener led the way down the rough hillside until he came to a point whence the descent was less steep and difficult. There he paused. A beautiful view was spread before them. Little Spenersberg lay on the slope opposite: between ran the stream, which widened farther toward the east and narrowed toward the west, where it emptied into the river.
We cannot but think that Muehlenberg's familiarity with these arrangements in Mark Brandenburg was a part of the training which influenced him in the organization of the church here. And in Halle itself, Spener had earnestly advocated the advantages of such arrangements. He fervently desired and commended the above peculiar provisions, so unfamiliar to the Lutheran Church generally in Germany.
Doctrine, defined in the Confessions, modified by Melanchthon's later writings and by the dogmaticians of the 17th century, considerably influenced also by Spener and the Pietists, while not a little has come to us from the Rationalistic period.
Spener himself. His methods were bold and straightforward. As this document was signed by all the Herrnhut Brethren, they must have agreed to its statements; but, on the other hand, it is fairly certain that it was drawn up by Zinzendorf himself. It throws a flood of light on his state of mind. He had begun to think more highly of the Moravian Church.

Seven years ago, on the day when he came of age, Albert Spener, then a young clerk in a fancy-goods store, went to look at the estate which his grandfather had bequeathed to him the year preceding.
"I have always thought I would use the material on the ground the best compliment I could pay this place which I have raised my fortune out of," said Spener. "There's no better material on the earth," said Leonhard. "But I don't want a castle: I want a house with room enough in it high ceilings, wide halls, and a piazza fifteen or twenty feet wide all around it." "Must I give up the castle?
If we could but learn how many pipes the Philistine smokes daily, according to the prescriptions of the new faith, and whether it is the Spener or the National Gazette that appeals to him over his coffee! But our curiosity is not satisfied.
I have only fancied sometimes what a pretty girl might be in her father's house." "Well, sir?" said Spener impatiently. "A young lady like Miss Elise would have a great deal to say, I should suppose." "Is she dumb? I thought she could talk. I should have said so." "I should have guessed, too, that she would always be singing about the house." "And if not what then?"
