he allowed them to remain. The
Ebenezer Congregation was founded
in 1733 by Salzburgers from the base
of the Noric Alps. In 1735 the
Moravians settled near Savannah.
The same year The Highlanders ar
rived from Scotland and settled at
Darien.
When Oglethorpe returned to
Georgia (after his visit to England),
John and Charles Wesley accompan
ied him. They did not remain long,
but founded Methodism, and their
names will be revered for all time.
John Wesley established the first
Sunday school in the world in Geor
gia. Charles Wesley’s first book of
hymns was published while he was
here. George Whitefield succeeded
the Wesleys. He established the
first orphanage in this country at
Bethseda. The Countess of Hunting
