Au iLx.tmide for Other Deuomliiatiens.
Tlc follewhig paper was read by jlrs.
MaryE. Haven at a recant monthly con
ceit of the Union P.uk Cougiefrttienal
chinch. Its compilation entailed much
labor and thought, and it is a valuable ad
dition te the literature of missions :
The church of the United Brethren, or
the Uuitis Fratrum, came from Bohemia
and Moravia.
Christianity was early in Mm avia, aud
became universal one thousand years age,
when the eastern church gave them the
Bible in their own Slav lani;uage.
In the fetutceuth century Bohemia and
England were mutually helpful in cherish
ing ital Clnistianity. The Bohemian con cen con
seit of Bichaid II. ei England protected
WicIcliiTc, and his wiitings wcie widely
di.s-cmiualvtl in Bohemia.
It !. siirt that this cliuicli lias "had an
unbiekcn sueccsMen of maityis. In
1400 Ilus was pleaching in Prague. He
was the friend of King Wencslaus, the
confessor of Queen Sephia, and the idol of
the lower classed, jet he w is condemned
by Reme and burned at Constance, July
G, 141e. Then followed the niatyidem of
Jcieme of Piaguc. The universal iudig
nation in Bohemia was met by papal ciu
sailes, war, and much diseidcr.
Men wcie net wanting who still adheied
te the pine doctiinesef IIuss. Thesccluj.
teicd together iu Bohemia, calling them
selves " Bicthien and Sistcib of the Law
efCinist," aftenvaid " Brethien and Sis Sis
tci.s"eniy. " Unity of the Bicthren"camc
in 145T. 'These lapidly incie.isctl, and, be
coming known, many el them pciishcd by
neisccutien. At the beginning of the re
formation in Germany, by Mai tin Luther,
in l.17, this chinch numbered 400 parish
es and 200,000 niembcis, aud had al
leady become developed in decliinc, iuic
tice, and constitution, founded en the
weid of Ged alone. Thus the ancient
c hutch of the Btethicii was the elder sistci
of the Geiman Protestant chinch.
Iu their dialiesscs and persecution they
had sought for ethers of kindied faith
with little success, audit may be imagined
hew n-jeiccd they wcie te hear of the glo gle
l ions w eik which the Lord had begun in
Germany. They speedily sent deputations
te Luther te wish him success in his labors.
They cnteiedinre communication with the
leadeisefthe Reformed chinch of Fian.-e
aud of Gcuea, as LMiccr and Calvin, who
could net biillicieiitly admiie the giaccs.
bestow ed upon them. The Biethicn in
cieascd in their understanding of the sciip
tuics and of Chiisti.vi tiuth by their intei intei
ceuisc with the lefeiniers.
In 1027 Bohemia was subdued te the
Austiian power. Tlie Cluistians weie
pcisecutcd, killed, and iu 1G27 weie ban
ished. Since then they have been wander
eis in all lands, ever jealous for the truth.
The organization of the ancient Unity of
the Bicthien was ciushcd. The one re
maining bishop, Jehn Ames Cemmenius,
en icacliing the mountains en the frontier,
kneeled with his bicthien and impleied
the Leid with tcain net te take His weid
utteilj away lrem Ueliemia ami lUeravi.i,
but te pieseive seed thciefer Himself.
The Leid had been watching ever this
chinch in the wilderness; in many in
stances keeping them fiem destruction.
In 1510 the sudden death of sevcial power
ful enemies of the gospel alaimcd many;
and it ccn became a pieveih among the
people that " if any man was weary of life
he had only te persecute the biethein."
When finally banished, '-these who left
the country only for conscience sake, fice
ly feisaking their iclatiens, fiicnds aud
propel ty in general, escaped safely, and
wcie often delivered lrem their piisens in
a most wonderful manner. But these who
sold their goods aud wished te carry away
the money, or te take their prepeity with
them, weie often arrested en the leittc and
sent back, while etheis wcie ill treated by
lebbeis and plundcied of all they had."
.t the close of the thiity. yens war, in
1(548, thwe aiese a nunc geueial desiie for
a new outneuiiug of the Hely Spirit ; a
fruit of this was Frankc, of Halle. Te his
seminary came Nicholas, Lewis, Count,
Ziuzendeif, who was born in Diesden, ed
ucated by his gtandmether and aunt in
Chiistiau dectiinc, and from his eailicst
yeais was obedient te it.
Heieceivcd the scattcicd aud wander
ing dependents et his lncthcrii, who had
been diiven hither and thither, and gave
them a home en his own estate. Tlieic
they built their settlement, called Hcirnhut
which is still their ccntie. Ziuzendeif in
1727 le-igucd his position under the gov
ernment of Saxony aud gave himself te be
come their leadei aud champion. He
gatheicd them in vaiieiis wajs. One was
evening singing nuvting", iu which a seiies
of veiscs lefeuing te some passage of
sciipliuc ei some dectiine el faith was
sung by the cougicgatien according te
Colessians iii., 10. They were also united
in small companies of two or thicc, iu
eider te cenveise together ficcly en ni.it
tcis connected with experimental religion.
These weie bands aud were frequently
changed, se that all could participate. In
thecal her pait of August the meetings
weie maiked by au hresistable power of
the Hely Sph it and by an unusual dcgiee
of fiecdem and confidence in prayer. The
ciewning blessing was en the 13th of Au
gust, when the congicgatien paitoek of
the holy communion. Fiem this day they
wcie one sph it; hence- they celebrate that
day as the annivcrsaiy of the spiiitual
biith of the lenewed church of the Breth
ein. The Leid poured out His holy spiiit
abundantly en the children also. A gill,
about 11 yeais of age, arose as a picachcr
of righteeiiiuess among her young com
panions. Such a prayerful disposition
minifcstcd itself among them as could net
be w itnesscd w itheut emotion. In lcmem
biance of these happy seasons the Mora Mera
vians new celebrate the childicn's festival
en the 17th of August. These were seasons
of lojeicing for Hcirnhut ; a brother wiete
at the time: "They foiget themselves,
ami all their longings weie directed hcai en
ward." At this pei ied a vaiiety of peiplcxing
ciicumstaueesaud csjiecially a thieatcned
persecution, impressed the bicthien and
sisters with the conviction that they ought
te resist the assaults of Satan by frequency
and pei severance in prayer. This led te
the "heuily intercession, "an arrangement
by which a number of persons, of both
sexes, selected for the purpose, distribut
ed the twenty-four hoiusef the day among
themselves se that the voice of prajer aud
in tei cession was never silent.
"It was impossible thai a cougicgatieu
like that which the Leid had called into
life at Hcirnhut could remain concealed,
for its members wcie conscious of the
power w ith which they were endowed as
the salt of the earth. Hence, from its very
commencement, multitudes of witnesses
went feitli from it, te exalt, far aud near.
te high and low, rich and peer, the salva
tion which is in Jesus Christ, as the one
thing needful." They went te bilisia.and
Moravia, and te the Danish court. Count
Zinzendei f was accustomed te say of the
Savier : "I have but one passion, and it
is He, only He."
Accompanied by the prayers of the con
gregation, he went, in theautumu of 1727,
into Thuringi, and formed seme import
ant acquaintances with students and pro
fessors of the univeisity of Jena. He vis
ited the reigning families of Coburg, Bai
leuth and Rudolstadt, aud he did net emit
te enter the dwellings of the peer, dis
pensing the word of life everywheie. In
leturnjng from such jeurucys it was his
custom te give a statement of his pioceed pieceed
ings, en the " congregation " en " piayer
days." In the same manner, filiatiens
of ethor messengers of the church were
communicated, or their icpeits lead. This
served te keep alive the interest of the
congregation and te encourage membcis te
renewed activity. Such visits extended te
Swit7eiland, Livenia and Germany.
In 1728 thiee .bicthren weie sent te
England. The difficulties they weie called
te underde in their jeuiney through Hol Hel
land en feet, having te sutler hunger and
thirst, and exti ernes of cold and heat, and
te endure misiepresentatiens and con
tempt, for the sake of Him whose lev
constrained them, convey a lively idea of
the trying naluie of these cnteip.iscs.
The exiled brethien had naturally an is-
pccially stieng desire te go te Meravi i
and Behemiam. Melchoir Xitsehman and
Geerge Schmidt went and weie diceeied
by the piiests and impiiseucd. Melchiei
seen died of the hardships. Geeige
Schmidt lemaiucd a p.isencr six jeais.
He was aftciward the tiist missionary te
the Hottentots. Soen after David Nitsth

life in a damp, unwholesome dungeon at
Olmut, the capital of Meiavia. In ic ic

At the end of Apiil Count Zinenderf
visited Copenhagen, te see if he might
cfi'cct something for the cuise of Ged at
the court of hisJ'iieiul, King Chtistiin VI.
On this began the feieign mission weik of
the Brethren. He heaul e!" the fiuitless
labors of the Danish inissienaty in Gieen
land ; and was told by the negie Antheny
of the wretched condition of the slaves iu
the Island of St. Themas, iu the' West In
dies. On his ictui n in Herruhut he com
municated these paitieulats. with much
emotion, te the cougicgatien. The lesult
was that two young bicthien felt a power
ful impulse te go and lueach the gospel te
thcncgiecs. Twe etheis seen eil'eicd
themselves te go te Giceniand. These fei
the West Indies went ready te accept slav
ery, if that wese neccssiry, in elder le get
access te the ncgiecs. Thej at lived in St.
Themas Dec. 1:5, 1782, and began te pieach
the gospel amid indeseiibablc haidships.
One seen ictui tied. Doeber lernaincd,
oveiceming all difficulties, till lecalled, iu
1731, te be ptcsiding elder. Doeber .was
at lirst employed as stewaul en an estate,
but finding his time all occupied he gave
up his place and luted a loom, and by
watching em plantations, he earned a
scanty livelihood, which enabled him te
pay his rent and proem e bread and water,
for he seldom had anything better. Othei-,
sent te St. Cteix, cmhucd six months el
sudeiing in 1 caching that island. New
missienaiics te St. Themis seen fell vic
tims te the climate.
In 1730 Brether Fredeiiek Maitin with
an asseciite weie sent, when they had
some success ; enemies, by false accusa
tion, had theni impiisened. The negiees
continued their meetings, and sometime
assembled in g.eat mi in be is under the
windows of t!ie piism, wheie they. join jd
in singing and jyayer. Wiete Biether
Maitin : "I believe the Leid will make it
a blessing te the whole island. Be of geed
courage, many bundled persons it St.
Themas arcpiaying for our deliverance."
While they weie in ceniincment. and be be
feie they could tiansmit anj intelligence
of their situation te IDurepe, Count Zm.en Zm.en
derf icselvcil te visit S:.. Themas. He
took with him two bicthien with their
wives te continue the weik. He piecured
the liberation of the missionaue-., attd
helped them all that he could by his influ
ence with the authoiilies.
On the 21st of August, 1781. liity je.tis
fiem the beginning of the mis-iiens, theie
was a ee'ebratien of great inteicst en all
three et the Danish West India islands.
The missienaiics' repeits sty they had
bapti.ed in all neaily twelve thousand
negiees ailults and cliildien. Of mis mis
seonaiics and their assistants, their wives
and children, one bundled and twenty
seven had cntcied into lest.
Iu 1782 nothing could be done fev Gioen Gieen
land, as the mission te -t. Themas io ie
quiied all the attention and lesouiet? of
the congregation.
Euly in the spiingef 173 two b.ctlucii
went te Copenhagen with apostolic zeal te
entci en their labets. They literally ebey
ed the injunction of Cluist te his de&ci-
pies : " iae nothing ler join journey.
One el thein says : " Theie was no need
of much time or expense for our equip
ment. The congregation then consisted of
peer exiles who hail net mu jh te give ;
and we ourselves had nothing but the
clothes en our backs. We had been used
te make shift with little and did net trou
ble our heads hew we should get te Gicen
iand e: hew we should live theie."
They found the Danish gevtrnment
about sending a ship te biing home their
colenj' as a fail inc. Ihej' committed
their cause te Ged. They weie examined
as te the soundness of their l.tiih and the
uprightness of their intentions, and ice ice
em mended te the king, who icselvcil,
withicncwcd vigor, te piomete the im
provement of the country. They sailed
from Copenhagen en Apiil 10, and arrived
May 20. Thej' seen set up the house the vr
had brought w ith thorn ; but hew were
thej te acquiic the language '.' Hew te
support themselves '.' Te their own tiou tieu
bles was added sinall-pex among the
Grttenlanelcis. Thej' said : '' We knew
net what te pray for, whethei for the life
or death of thev! peer cicatmc. May
the Lerel teach us te believe and venerate
the secret purposes of His will ; atpies
ent we arc in the school of faith. We per
ceive uejtraccs of any ge.d weik begun
among the heathen ; no, neb se much as a
sign." The missienaiics themselves were
exhausted, sick, and full of discourage
ment, j'ct thej' said : " we will ictnam at
our pest, and vie with each ether in the
exercise of faith. Yes, we will stay till
Jesus our Lerel helps us, and our only
concern shall be te please Him.'
ThcGreenlamlersai-edcsciibjd .is filthy
and disgusting in the extieme. Eighty
years afterwards one writes : "luteiceuise
with the Europeans, and the mete potent
influence of the gospel have effected a
most striking'chaugc. Tiie baibaiitics of
savage life and the enormities ever attend
ing paganism are new rarely te be met
with."
In 1732, when the missions of I'uc breth
ren began, the colony of Herruhut consisted
only of six hundred pei sons, and these
mostly peer exiles : j'et, neither their pov
erty nor the smallness of their nuinbcis
could dampen their zeal. They were fully
persuaded that it is nothing with the Lord
whether te help with miuy or with them
that have no power. The brethren be-
catne instruments of publishing Jesus te
many savage tiibes and sewing the gospel
seed en soils the most barren and unprom
ising. Within ten jeais missionaries were sent
te St. Themas, te St. Croix, te Greenland,
te Surinam, te the Rie de Berbice. te sev
eral Indian tiibes in North America, te
the negrees in Seuth Carolina, te Lapland,
te T.utarj', te Algiers, te Guinea, te tiie
Cape of Geed Hepe and te Ceylon. White
theie was great joy at Herruhut for the
cxpei ience of the Savier's grace, and while
these missienaiics were going through the
world fees weie cquallv active. The ene
mies of the count secured his banishment
fi-tni the country. This dates a new
period iu the histeiy of the chinch. The
count said : ' Even without this prohibi
tion, I could net have gene te Hcrrnhut
within the next ten years te lemain anj'
length of time, for we have new te form a
pilgiim chinch, and te make known a
Savier te the vveild. Henceforth that
place will be our home where there is the
most te be done for Chiist. He visited
Pi ussia, w here he was ordained bishop of
me cuuicii et the Lnitcil inctliien ; then
It) England, Helland, Helsteiu, Livenia
and Switzerland.
In 1711 he visited America On Christ
masd.ij', in Pennsylvania, their rising set
tlement was named Bethlehem. He was
active in caching, wiitiug.attending sjnieds
and visiting Indians. One visit was te
Shekomeko, in Hew Yeik state, near Con
necticut, whcic sixty-one Indians wcie
baptised iu two yeais. Whites who profit
ed bj the dissolute lives of the Indians
secured the banishment of the nii-sienai-ics.
A mission in Gctrid te. Chickasaw s
and C'hcrekces was begun iu 1731, but iu
1710 the missienaiics weie obliged te
leave became they would net fight iu a
war. Iu 171G Chiistiau Indian families
fiem Shekomeko and ether places fei med
a settlement in Pennsylvania which was
dcstiej-ed in 17.". Then thej- built Nain.
In the Ficnch and Indian war a forged
letter pi inted in a new.spiper prejudiced
the laiglisii against the bictliicu. Savages
insisted en the Indians taking up aims
against the Ihiglish, and a set of fanatics
demanded tli vxtiipalieii of tin: Indians
as weie the Canaaiiitcs of old, and wc:c
veiyaugiy with the hicthieii for pietcct-

everyone who should refuse te accept it."
Zeisbeiger and his villiagp lied te the
Smdusky liver. The ether two villages

wc(c muidcied. Their lumdcieis .said :
" They w ei c geed Indians, for they sang
and piajcd till tiicir latest breath." These
going te Sai elusky left their homes and
haivcsts en October 2i5, 1781. Their win
ten was one of sufleiing. The missiona missiena
iics were canicd piiseners te the English
foil, Detieit. Z.'isbcrgcr was allowed te
gather his Indians en the Huren river.
Then they wcie in several places the
longest time was iu Fairfield, in Canada
till, iu August, 1708, they .came te their
mined homes ou the Muskingam, after
scveateeu jeais' wandering. Here, in
180S, Zeisbcrgcr tiuishcel his eaithly pil
gi image, iu his Slith j'ear. He had been
missienaiy te the Indians sixty yeais. A
Moravian sajs: "It would appear that
Pievidence suffers our Indians te wander
about as a cloud of witnesses. Though

The distinguishing feature of the Moia Meia
vi.ms is the piemincucu given te the per
son and weik of Chiist. Said an Indian
of Shekomeko : " I have been a heathen
anil I knew hew heathen think. Once a
pieichcr came and said: " There is a
Ged." Wcansv.cicd, "Dest thou think
us se igneiaitl as net te knew that ? Re
turn le the place fiem whence thou cont

' Yeu must net steal, or lie, or get eliunk,
etc." We dismissetl him with, " Tin u

this .' Lcatn this liivsclf, and then teach it
t- thy people, for vvholie and steal meie
than they .' But Biether Riuch came into
my hut .mil sat down, and said, "I come te

finished he wee.t te sleep. I thought, what
kind of am in is this.' Theie he lies, and

him no concern. I could net forget his

Dining his absence the countess had
visited Copenhagen and St. Pctcisbuig,
in commission from the general confer
ence. This lady, Countess Erdinuth Dorethy,
closed her course through time in 173G.
AH who knew her agree iu her praise.
She was distinguished by depth of piety,
calmness and soundness of judgment, and
deep interest in all that passed around
her, without any desire te a33nme undue
prominence. -Te her husband she had al al
ferelcd important aid, by her wise, Chus-
tian education of their children, and her
admiiable superintendence of their domes
tic affairs, as well as, net uufrequently, in
important matters relating te the church.
A lasting memei i il of her is in several
beautiful hymns of her composition. v
" After ten j'ca-s of banishment from
Saxenj', the court was permitted te re
turn, and there at Hcirnhut in May, IStiO,
it was the will of the Lord te call te rest
that servant of His who had been the
means of eftectiug se much for the church
at large, and of awakening anel building
up se many individual souls in the most
holy faith.'"'
The Unitas Fratrum new consists of
three provinces, the German, British ami
the American, which are independent in
all provincial affairs, but form an erg mic
whole iu regard te the fundamental prin
ciples of doctrine, discipline and ritual, as
also in carrying en the foreign and Bohe
mian missions. Every ten or twelve years
a general synod of the whole Unitas Fra
trum is convened at Herruhut in Saxenj'.
The deetiincs of the church comprise
all these points which aie he'd bj' Trini
tarian Christians as essential te salvation.
The distinguishing features arc the prom
inence of the pei son and weik of Christ,
and a uuiked Catholicity. Thev have
bishops, ' pivsbjteis and deacons. The
