. 15c like minded one toward another, ac
cording te Jesus Christ; that you may with
one uiiiid an- one mouth glarity Ued.even the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Heui. xv.
Iti cheesing the&e words of Paul as a
text most appropriate te a discourse set
ting forth the essential union of spirit be
tween the Unitas Fratrum and the Luth
eran church, I have the authority of
Martin Luther himself. He wrote,
in his preface te one of the Moravian con-
febsiens of faith which he published for
our church, the following hearty, true
and noble weids, which I cannot refraiu
fiem quoting in full : " Although there
exist," he bays, "according te this their
confession, some difl'ercuces between them
aud us, respecting certain rites and cere
monies, we ought te remember that, at no
eiied, have the customs, order aud disci
pline, beeu exactly th- una in all churches;
nor can this be Hi- .ise, because local
circumstances, the i ii'yience of nations,
and the constant vi,inges which take
place in human ali'.i: is, weukfrender such
uniformity impracticable. It is enough that
our faith be scriptural aud our practice
sound ; herein wc must be uniform and of
the same mind, as St. Paul teaches :
' That ye all speak the same things and
be perfectly joined together in the same
mind and in the same judgment ; that
with ene mind aud one mouth we may
glorify Ged, even the father of our Lord
Jesus Cliriit.' I therefore recommend te
all Christians this confession of the
liicthrcn which will clearly show them
with what foul injustice they have been
traduced and were condemned by the
Papists." What a ssnse of Christian
fairness and bread charity breathes in
these words ! We accept them with joy as
the sentiments and principles et the great
church which bears the bold ltefermer's
name, aud with pity overlook the bigoted
utterances and resolutions of councils even
which in mere recent times have sought
te take their place. Aud accordingly I
invite your attention te some considera
tions which shall show both the fact that,
and the reason why, the Moravian and
the Lutheran churches have in the past
been bound together by tics of the closest
fraternal feeling, and in all consistency
must centiuuc se through all present and
future time. With no ether church have
wc come into closer fellowship, and with
none mere uniformly maintained these re
lations. That this is as it should be will
at once appear when we remember that
I. There must naturally exist a strong
sympathy bcliccen the descendants of IIuss,
and these of Luther, from Vic similarity
of circumstances, and identity of purpose, of
the two Reformers ; as well as from their
relation te one another in 7iistery.
There cau exist between us aud the
Lutheran none of these hidden ill-feelings
ofenvy, of secret reproach and regret,
which tee often show themselves between
parties that once were ene but afterwards
became separated. Neither of us ever
belonged te the ether. Neither can say
te the ether, you ewe your being te me.
Neither can declare. I am the church ; you
arc a sect. We arose respectively in dif
ferent centuries of time ; indifferent coun
tries ; totally independent of each ether.
And yet the circumstances under which
the Moravian church arose, and the sole
purpose of its organization, were precisely
the same as these that constitute the fol
lowers of Luther a valid and legitimate
church.
As the foul corruption of the Reman
Catholic church in Gcrmauy constrained
the monk of Wittcmberg te raise his pro pre
test against it, and te kiudle the fire of
pure gospel truth in Germany in 1517,
fiem " which sprang the evangelical
churches of the Keferniul ion ; se the foul
ness of the Fame Ilemanism in Bohemia,
had already one hundred ana two
years before caused the professor of
Prague te lift up his voice in
denunciation of the same in his native land,
and te boldly enunciate the principles
upon which was rented the evangelical
church of the Unitas Fratrum, the Re
formed church of Bohemia, Moravia and
Poland. At the time when Luther nailed
his theses te the deer of the Wittemberg
cathedral, the Ilrcthren's church had
already existed in a fully organized and
flourishing condition for mere than half n,
century, It numbered at least 200,000
souls, all confessing the pure and
simple doctrine of the gespel of Christ,
singing the songs of Zion out of their
own hymn-loek,rcading the Words of Life
iu their own lauguage from the Bible
themselves had translated and published.
Tims IIuss aud his followers attempted
aud accomplished for their own land, pre
cisely what, many years after, Luther did
for his nation. This the latter heartily
confessed, writing te him these werds:
" Be you the Bohemian, wc will lie the
German Reformers. Adapt yourselves te
your circumstances, we must adapt our
selves te ours. "
Should net this fact, my friends, be
strong enough of itself ever te keep us,
the members of the two churches, that
equally aud abeve all ethers, deserve the
name of reformation churches, in the
bend of closest fellowship and union ? Our
fathers were called of Ged te the
same work, only in different local
ities. And se arc we new call
ed te be "laborers together with
Ged " for the maintenance and spread of
the Diviuc truth. As Luther said, we were
"reformers befote the reformation," yen
the reformers of the reformation. Beth
were reformers, only at different times, in
different places and different degrees. Ged
set IIuss and our ancient Brethren as the
morning star and rosy dawn o'er the hori
zon of history, the necessary harbingers
and preparation for .the mero brilliant
and widespread light of your beaming
sun. This is true also, I think, in mere
than a mere figurative sense. While yet
a devout monk at Wittemberg Martin
Luther was intimately acquainted with the
writings of Jehn IIuss ; and it weu'd be
very strange indeed if these inspiring
writings had net had some influence at
least iu helping te dispel the darkness in
the monk's mind, and te decide him in
his future course, perhaps even te hasten
that glorious pretest of the 31st of Octo
ber, 1317. Referring te these writings
the great reformer says : "While I was
a Papist my zeal for religion made me
cordially hate the Brethren, and conse
quently likewise the writings of Huss. I
could net, however, deny that be taught
the doctrines of Hely Writ purely and
forcibly, se much se that I was astonished
that the Pepe and council at Constance
had condemned this great and worthy man
te the flames. Yet such was my blind
zeal for the Pepe and the council that I
instantly put the book out of my hand,
aud felt terrified at myself. But since
'Ged hath discovered te me the son
of perdition, I think otherwise, and
am constrained te honor these as
saints and martyrs whom the
Pepe condemned and murdered as heret
ics ; for they have died for the truth of
their testimony. Te these I reckon the
Brethren, commonly called Picards ; for
among them Iliave seen what I'decin a great
wonder and what is net te be met with in
the whole extent of Popedem, namely :
that setting aside all human traditions,
they exercised themselves day and night
in the law of the Lord ; and though they
are net as great preficients in Greek and
Hebrew as some ethers, yet they are well
skilled in the Hely Scriptures, have made
experience of its doctrines, and teach
them with clearness and accuracy. I
therefore hope all true Christians will love
and esteem them."
This already testifies te what wc must
consider another strong reason for the
closest fellowship between our two
churches, namely :
II. The very friendly relations that in
the main subsisted bcticeen the Ancient Mora
vian and the Lutheran cliurchcs.
Their intercourse commenced eat lv, aud
was net the accidental result of mere
casual circumstances, but in express pur
suance of a principle laid down by the
Brethren already at a synod hela in 1440.
There, with an almost prophetic spirit, it
had been resolved that, "If Ged ever
raised up in the world true evangelical
teachers and reformers, they would
at ,ouce unite aud make common cause
with thorn." In accordance with this
noble sentiment it was that as
seen as the glad news of Luther's ic ic
ferming work in Germany reached Bohe
mia, they at once aroused the liveliest iu
tuicst, warmest sympathy and immediate
measures looking toward union and cooper
ation. Scarce three years after Luther's
pretest, the Brethren at Prague sent him
their congratulations and expressions of
sympathy. Iu reply they received fiem
him a letter of the most appreciative char
acter in which he urged them, net te deny
or neglect, but earnestly te further and
carry en the work begun by IIuss. This
letter was followed iu 1523 by an official
deputation of the Brethren te Luther,after
His return from cxile in the Wartburg,
expressing in the name of the whole Unitas
Fratrum their lively sympathy and deep
interest iu his great work, aud at the same
time giving him a faithful account of their
own dectrine and constitution. He ex
pressed himself as much pleased aud en
couraged by this visit of the two Moravian
delegates, and especially gratified at their
catechism which they presented te him.
lie writers of them te a friend in the fol
lowing commendatory terms : " I found
that almost throughout they held a pure
and healthy doctrine."
A second delegation followed two years
later for the purpose, it seems, of urging
upon Luther the necessity of a proper con
stitution and discipline iu the evangelical
church, the neglect of which had already
made itself se sadly felt in the Ger
man churches. Luther did net at
this time, however, consider this
practicable,a mistake which he afterwards
deeply regretted and freely confessed his
sorrow "that he had iu the beginning al
lowed any aud everyone te commune, and
had net instituted rules and discipline,
such as they had." Owing te a decided
difference of opinion en this point an es
trangement between tlie Meravians and
Luther took place at this time, and con
tinued, net without bitter feelings en both
sides, for several years. It happily was
net allowed te last very leug, However.
The events of these years of corruption
aud lawless violence within the Protestant
church, proved even te the inflexible Re
former himself the wisdom of the Breth
ren's views. He published, accordingly,
in 1333, the Confession of Faith of the
Breth: en's church, writing a sincere aud
very commendatory preface te the same
with his own hand,"in which occur these
hearty words : " We sincerely rojeicc
both for their sakes aud ours, that the sus
picious which heretofore alienated us and
made us reciprocally treat each ether as
heretics, have been removed, and that wc
are new gathered into ene fold, under the
only Shepherd and Bishop of our souls, te
whom be glory te all eternity. Amen."
Vet. in this confession which he new se
fully sanctioned, they but reiterated the
doctrine which before had displeased him
se much, that though justification is by
faith aloue. it must necessarily be accom
panied by fruits meet for ropentauce aud
a changed life iu Christ Jesus. Nay, it
was its constitution and discipline that the
great Reformer learnt most te admire in
the Unitas Fratrum ; as he expressed him
self: " These Brethren de net surpass us
in purity of doctrine ; but they far excel
us in the regular discipline by which they
blessedly gevern their churches ; and in
this matter they have the greater praise,
which it behooves us te yield te them for
the glory of Ged, and for the sake of the
irnth."
The kindly relations between our church
and Luther new continued unbroken, as
we sce from the numerous fraternal em
bassies that wcre sent te him from time
te time, as well as from his cordial letters,
many of which arc still extant. May our
friendship and leve for one another never
be broken ; but may our churches of the
present and through the future take te
heart, and put into practice, the apos
tolic exhortation addressed by the Re
former late in life te our bishop, "Jehn
Augusta : I admonish you in the Lord,
that as you have begun se you will main
tain te the end the unity of the Spirit with
us, aud abide iu the same doctrine ; and
together with us, by the Werd of Ged aud
prayer, fight against the gates of hell. "
Ged grant us te de it !
Dees sorae one say that, though all this
may have been true of the ancient Mera
vian church and Lutherariism, it docs-!
net affect or have any bearing en
the lattcr's relations te the Renewed
church ? I reply that the terms Ancient
and Renewed have only a temporal mean
ing. The present Renewed Unitas Fra
trum, is the same as the Ancient was in
all essential points. It is simply a con
tinuation of it, net only historically, but
spiritually and organically, dectriually
aud constitutionally. It can, however, be
shown that
III. The fraternal relations between the
Moravian and the Lutheran churches have
been even closer in their later Uian in their
earlier history.
The grand aim of the Moravian Brethren
from the beginning of their intercourse
with ether Protestants had been te effect
a union among all Evangelical believers.
They had proposed this te Luther, Calvin
and the ether Reformers. In 1555 they
had succeeded se far as te assemble a
union synod of all Protestants of Poland,
which did net remain altogether fruitless.
It did net come te full fruition, however,
until 1570, when a meeting, attended by
the Brethren and no less than twenty-four
Lutheran ministers, was held in Poland,
which resulted" in a general Evangelical
synod being called at Sendemir in April of
the same year, which was very numerously
attended. After lengthy discussion a
brotherly agreement wasjirrived at by the
three churches represented,' the Lutheran,
Reformed and Moravian, known as the
"Consensus Sendemiricnsis. " This,
the constitution of the first "Evan
gelical Alliance" ever organized, is
a plain, scriptural statement of the princi
ples of Christian truth, void of all dialec
tical subtelties and theological hair-splitting.
It declares among the rest that
" We shall cease and bury in everlasting
sileuce these controversies, discords and
differences, by which the progress of the
Gospel has hitherto been hindered, net
without much hurt te many pious souls,
and occasion been given our fees te griev
ously slander us and te deny and oppose
our true religion ; we will, en the con
trary, pledge ourselves te further peace
and general quiet, te practice love towards
one another and unitedly strive te build
up the church, according te our brotherly
agreement." Is net this, my friends, a
wise, neble and truly Christlike resolu
tion ? Would that it could be adopted to
day by all Christians and carried out te
the glory of our one Lord and Master ! On
such a platform might we net all unite
te-day as did our fathers then ? Nene of
the three churches gave up its individu
ality. Ne dead uniformity was engen
dered. But each retained its peculiar
forms and constitution aud even its peculiar
beliefs en unessential points of doctrine :
yet each recognized the ethers as co equal
with it, as orthodox and correct in prac
tice, and all wcre agreed net te find fault
with each ether, but as brethren in Christ
unitedly, lovingly, te labor for the spread
of His kingdom and victory ever
the common fee. A few days after
all the synod with tears of gratitude
and joy had subscribed te this Consensus,
a special union, as it were, within this
general union, was formed between the
Lutherans and Meravians alone, pledgiug
the two te the closest fraternal love aud
co operation ; which event soeu after was
publicly celebrated in a .most beautiful
manner. On Sunday morning the Mora Mera
vians went iu a body te worship with the
Lutherans in the church of the latter, the
pulpit of which was occupied by a minister
of the Brethren. Iu the evening then the
Lutherans, led by their pastors, went te
the Moravian church, where one of their
preachers expounded the word. Ah, it docs
one geed te see such true brotherly prac-.
ticcs. Brethren all, as our fathers wcre
ene iu spirit and true in their love, se let
us be ! Lutherans and Meravians, wc arc
brethren in Christ. We leve each ether
because of the leve our fathers bare for
ene another.
But all this properly belongs te the
history of the Ancient Unitas. Let us new
turn te the Renewed church. The first
thing that strikes us is, that the little
colony of Moravian and Bohemian refugees
who settled en the estate of Berthelsderf,
and founded the town of Hcrrnhut in 1722,
had for a number of years as their minis
ter and preacher, Paster Retho, an ortho
dox Lutheran clergyman. He broke te
them the Bread of Life, administered the
Sacrament, and in all things was practical
ly ene with them.
Next we find Count Leuis von Zinzeu Zinzeu
derf himself, while their chief human
patron and protector, still continuing for
a number of years a zealous and devout
member of the Lutheran church. Later
when thoroughly identified with them, he
proposes an organic union with the estab
lished church. Still later in 1734, when
he finally decided te devote himself te the
ministry of the Gospel, he has himself rig
orously examined in his views by
two Lutheran clcrgymau at Stralsuud
and receives from them a testimonial that'
he holds the orthodox Lutheran faith.
Twe years before this already the Saxen
government had sent a Commission te
Hcrrnhut, which reported favorably in
every respect about the Brethren's doc dec dec
trieo and practice. Anether examination
of the Moravian dectrine in the person of
Zinzendorf is undertaken in December of
1732, by the theological faculty of Tubin
gen, en occasion of his application te enter
the ranks of the ministry. This also declares
him in every respect orthodox and worthy.
Five years later, at his own request, he
undergoes still another examination at
Berlin, which results se favorably that the
king, Frederick William I. recommends
his court preacher te ordain him a bishop.
Ju&t in this royal court preacher I would
have you notice a striking example of the
close union and intimate connection be
tween theMeravian andLuthcran churches.
Fer it was none ether than Daniel Ernst
Jablousky, the last bishop of the Ancient
Unitas Fratrum, who held this honerablo
and important office in the established
church. Can you anywhere show me a
similar instance of fellowship and union
between two clutches ? Never! Through
this our bishop, Jablousky, moreover, the
Moravian church became a conspicuous
and most important Instrument in fash
ioning the whele constitution and cultus
of the established church of Prussia as it
is at the picscnt time. This the following
brief extract from a letter of Jablensky's
te Bareii Printz, president of the council
for ecclesiastical affairs at Berlin, in 1710,
will partly explain. He says : " Your
excellency having lately commanded me
and my colleagues, in the king's name, te
draw up each of us a plan of church disci
pline, I hereby humbly present my thoughts
en tlr.it matter, and conceive that the
geed order or discipliue of the church
comprehends net only a liturgy, or pro pre
scribed form of public worship and admin
istration of the sacraments, but also the
Pelitia Ecclesiastica, or prescribed form
of governing the church of Christ." Then
fellows an outline of a general form of
worship, or liturgy, which with scarce any
modification was adopted as the form of
the state church of Prussia, and remains
such up te the present time. This inter
esting fact should alone be sufficient ever
te bind our two denominations inseparably
together ; and no doubt would tend te de
it. wcre it mere generally known.
Of perhaps even greater immediate in
terest te us, let me yet uote two mere re
cent circumstauccs which again show the
capacity for intimate union between us.
During the first pait of the last century,
at the time of Zihzcnderfs visit te Phila
delphia in 1742, he found a great many
'German Lutherans there, but who had
neither a heuse of worship nor a minister.
Many of them frequently heard him speak
at the religious services which he regular
ly held at his own residence, and finding
that his preaching was essentially the ;
same dectrine as that held by them, they
extended a formal call te him te become
their regular pastor. This call he accept
ed and faithfully fulfilled te the satisfac
tien of all, until jealousy from without
induced him te resign it ere a year had
passed. Here, then, we can see theMora theMera
vian church through Zinzendorf returning
the favor that had been done it by the
Lutheran pastor Rethe at Herrnhut. We
sec the pleasing spectacle of a Mer vian
minister in charge of a Lutheran congre
gation, administering its sacrament, draw
ing up its constitution and forms of wor
ship, and acceptably attending in every
way te its wants. Who will say after
this that we arc net one in Christ ;
brethren in the Lord, and different only
in name ? As further proof of this I might
yet refer te the seven "Pennsylvania
Synods," the first held in Gcrmantewu in
January of 1742, by which Zinzendorf tried
te effect an evangelical union of all the
denominations in the neighborhood, and
at which the Lutheran church was strongly
represented but I refrain. What mere
instances could be required than these al
ready given, te show hew near and friend
ly te ene another have been our churches at
all times in the past.and te impress upon us
that what thus often has been, can be again
and verily should be, te the glory of our
one Master and Saviour Jesus Christ. Es
trangement between us can only exist
when gressest ignorance reigns and warps
the mind and hardens the heart into un
christian bigotry and cxclusivencss.
Ner would tt be necessary te knew any
thing mero than what has been already
said, te prove the unity of dectrine of the
two churches. The close alliances between
them in various parts of Europe, which
have been referred te, the admiring testi
mony of two royal committees of investi
gation, the faverable certificates of the sev
eral authoritative beards of Lutheran
theologians and faculties of Lutherau uni
versities, the fact of a Moravian bishop fill
ing the office of first court preacher in the
established church of Prussia,and giving it
its whele constitution aud ritual, te which
I might add the further circumstance that
even the present empress of Germany at
tends the Moravian church at Berlin almost
as often as the State church; and finally the
pleasing sight of Lutheran ministers ha
bitually ministering te Moravian congre
gations, and clergymen of the latter held
ing the position el Lutheran preachers
aud pastors, preaching from Lutheran pul
pits, administering the sacraments from
Lutheran altars, te Lutherau communi
cants, in this very country ; all these
patent facts are certainly evideuce enough
iu themselves te establish the oneness of
belief of our two denominations. Te
complete our satisfaction, however, allow
ine yet te refer in conclusion te the wit
ness of an orthodox Lutheran theologian
himself en this point. It is well known,
indeed, that the Unitas Fratruiu has again
and again shown and pledged itself te be
in lull accord with the neble Augsburg
confession, aud legally ceufessed it as its
own. Wni. Fred. Yung, howcvcr,Lnth hewcvcr,Lnth
theran pastor pastor at Hayngcu in the
Wettcrau,'published a curious and inter
esting work in 1732, te show hew the
whole spirit of Martin Luther lived evei
again, 'as it were, in Count Zinzendorf.
Frem the writings and addresses of the
two he compiled a detailed harmony of
them en all essential and many unessen
tial points of dectrine. Comparing them
point by point he showed te a truly aston
ishing extent their identity of belief, and
often striking similarity of expression
and he thus sums up the result of his con
scientious and laborious comparison, as the
necessary conclusion at which every
candid mind -must arrive : " Zindenderf
is no sectarian and heretic, but an ortho
dox evangelical teacher of the Augsburg
confession; and the people who held te
him are no sect, but an evangelical Church
that accords with heart aud mouth with
the Augsburg confession." "I say he
is no sectarian, and his church is Jno sect,
else Luther must also be a sectcrian, aud
that part of the Protestant church called
alter ins name, also be a sect. " This is
strong and decided, though by no means
a rash assertion, but the conscientious
conclusion of an orthodox Lutheran min
ister after a close and thorough study of
the two denominations. We de net re
quire it, however, te make us see our elose
aud brotherly relation. It is written en
every page of history. Nay it is stamped
en our respective features. Wc are of the
same household of faith. We feel it. We
rejoice in it. We thank our Ged in
heaven for it. Yea, and should a dozen
councils decide otherwise, the glorious
fact still remains, and. by Ged's grace,
ever shall. Fer shall Christ be divided ?
was Huss crucified for you ? or wcre you
baptized in the name of Luther? Nay,
but ene 5s your Master, aud ye are all
brethren. What can wc de then ? With
one Lord, one faith, ene baptism, wc dare
net be ether than "like-minded ene te
another, according te Jesus Christ ; that
we may with oie mind and ." ene mouth
glorify Ged, even the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ. " Amen.
