Myrrh at Tryn louring, June 14, 1871,•by .13ISTIOP E. DE Ninety-nine years ago, a band of Christian Indians inhabiting the see- tion of conjitry where w are assem bled this evening, took its way to the Wig., in order ,to settle-in one 'of the valleys of what is now the State of Ohio. ,They Wore led by' Moravian MiSsionari6s who had utplored the Susquehanna up to Bradford county preaching the glorionszospel of, the blessed God, and making the wilder nesii of Wyabasing to lalossom as the rose. To-night, for the first time in the century that has nearly passed since . that exodus,- the hymns and prayers of the church of Brethren have again been heard . in this region, filling this sanctuary of a sister de nomination Of christians. We come to you,cmy friends, as our forefathers in the fifteenth century came to the Waldenses, and in ,the sixteenth to Bohn Calvin, rejoicing in "one. Lord,' one faith, one baptism, in one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in all." We come to take cotinstk with you respecting the Savicrar's &use and the Saviour's kingdom. We come that you and we may be stirred np anew to promote that cause and fipread that kingdom. Now nothing will save to make us faithful in- dis charging this duty more than the re cital of what God has wrought in the past through the agency of His rico- Hence I will proceed to give you a brief account of the history, polity and. doctrines of. the church which we represent. I will do this, first, because I have been particularly re quested by your esteemed pastor to elucidate this subject; and second, because it involves much which will clearly show that Christ Himself gov erns, His chnrch in all its relations; that~He can accomplish' great results through the most insufficient instru mentality; "that He has remember ed His covenant forever ; the word which He commanded to a thousand generations." , In anything, therefore, which I may say that may seem to exalt 3foravian ism, I beg_rn not to recognize self adulation, but only' praise to_God. To Him belongs the glory. Ike - re cord which we bring is a record of His grace and truth. In the heart of Europe there are two small countries, 'Bohemia and Moravia, the one a kingdom, the oth er a margraviato of the Austrian em pire. ;They are inhabited by the Czekhs, who form a part of the great Slavonic race which burst into 'En. rope from the East, and which no* inhabits nearly onehalf of that con tinent. The Czekits were converted to christianity in the ninth century, through the labors of Clyrill and Me thodius, the illustrious apostles of the Slavonia's. They came frOm the Greek church, translated the Bible into the vernacular, and introduced the Slavic liturgy. Hence, although: Bohemia and Moravia soon fell un der the sway of the Popes of Rome, there grew up in these two countries a National Church, which from the earliest times, more or lees, protested, in various ways, against the nsuipa tions of the Hierarchy. Such protests became very earnest in the coarse of the fourkeuth century.. Preachers like Conrad Waldhauser and John Milic, who for authority in refoirrning the masses and power, in swaying open air congregations that number ed thousands of hearers, may be put by the side of George Whitefield and John Wesley, and writers like Mat thias of ham, gave expremien to truths which deeply excited the re ligions-, feelings of the people, and =the way for the Bohemian ion. John Hose was the distinguished leader.. It was his im pose to convert his countrymen and purify the church, not with carnal weapons, but with the Word of God, which is " the sword of the Spirit." When, however, the council of Con stance broke the\ royalpledge of safe-' .ty which be had received, and had him "burnedalive as an " arch-here tic," on the 6th of July, 1415, his fol lowers flew to arms, and inaugurated the Hussite war, which raged with fray for fourteen years.,. The Huss ites were invariably . snoeessfal e de feating immense armies of the Im perialists, driving_before them ' with their iron -pointena il s, the flo wer of the chivalry of Europe; and spread- ; ing the terror of their name -far be yond the confines of their own coun try. Bat they were divided mow themselves. The Taboritee formed one faction, democratic in its origin; insisting ona general iteforaftion, and bre=6,W in its optositao - lito Rome; Abe Calixtines constituted an cities; aristocratic in its feelings, eon tending merely for the restoration of tiny Ito the 'say in . the Lord's SIT- assuazto instmounir neat ixr_qusirm 'TOWANDA, -BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., JUNE. 29.11871. per, and Impeding eventually to be resmited with 'the- :Boman Whelk Church. ; These two parties the coun cil of Basle succeeded in arraying against each other. In the• spring of 1434, .a battle Wllll fo ug ht between them which resulted in the complete triumph of the Oalixtinee, who; hav ing been ioined by the liberal portion of Tabontee, were now constituted the Bohemian. , church,' with certain concessions granted by .the council, such MI the lord's Supper in both kinds and the use of the vernacular in. lie worship. Yom the midst of this COMMA- neon those men of God came forth who formed the"liforavion churCh. The/ were true followers . of John Mum, men that had taken no part in the war; men that tonged - to work out their own personal, salvation ►nd to reform the church; men that -re. cognized thegrowing degenegacy of the National Establiiainaent, whicin in most of its doctrines, its and isspoxially its We, was fast falling to a level with the Roman Catholics. At the head,of the Bohemian church stood Min Rokrum e an illustrious preacher, inveigling agist the cor ruptness of the times. Around him those awakened souls gathered and .bosought him t 9 begi4a-reformation, promising to support him whatever might be the emsequences. But he refe.socl, afraid of the danget to which he would expose himself. Then they began to seek some quiet retreat where they might worship God in peace, carry out the principles of Huse, and encourage one another in the Lord. . Now it so lhappened that - . George Podiebrad, the 'Regent of Bohemia, owned an estate called Litiz, about ono hundred miles east of Preps, on the•confines of Siberia. It had been devastated in the course of the • . Hussite wax, vtlis sparsely inhabited, and brought him but a small revenue. The little band of inquirers begged Itokyzan to induce the Regent to al low theurto settle there. ltokyzan, who was anxious to get rid of thein, eagerly consented The Regent, thinkiug such, a settlement would de vt.lop the estate antl' increase his in come,-ns eagtlrly ga: ~: the desiret c l per mission. Nt - lither of theta imagined that they were instruments in. God's hands forleffeetingillis divinepur -1 pose, an that through, their selfish motives movement would bo inrin gurated hich cveuld extend to all the ends f the earth, and continue thromgh t many generations. The assbciates left Prague and built themselves cottages at Knnwalde, one of thevillages of the estate. In that village, in the midst of dense forests, and in the j ahadow of the giant mcmn tains, before ever the pilgrim fathers planted the standard of liberty in our land, before ever the Anglican Refor mation freed the Church of England from the fetters of the Papacy, before ever Luther kindled the torch ot• truth at the fire which burns on God's own . altar, when, with the lexception l of the Waldenses, all Europa lay in the darkness of medieval superstition i and the bonds of Romish idolatry, -and America was still undiscovered, 414 years ago, in 1457, the church of the United Brethren was formed. "Brethren " was the name which its members adopted, and which has re maimed to the present day. i • The principles which this church enunciated were, in' brief, the follow ing three'- The Bible is the only of Christian doctrine; public worship is to be conducted and a dis cipline to be carried out in accord ance with what ,the Scriptures teach and on the model of the Apostolical church; the Lord's Supper is to be received in faith, to be defined in the language of Scripture, and every hu man exp . lanition of that language is to be rejecka• . J Many awakened persons, from dif ferent parts of RoheTnis, and Mora via, began to flock\to Litiz, so that the Brethren began\to increase rap idly. During the first tea 'years of their history, they consgtuted merely an Association within the National Church, from which they had not yet formally separated. Some of its con verted priests joined their society and ministered to them in holy things., But when this church began s cruel! parseention, which added not` a few, to the noble army of martyrs, and' when the Brethren found it would be impossible to obtain a linfficioney ot Calixtine priests, they discussed thel propriety of severing the last tie whj.ch united them with the Establishment, and of instituting a ministrf,of their own. Thili question. was made one of special prayer for several years; and at last in 1464, was decided in the aff'irmati've by the use of the lot, in imitation' of the Apostles. Bat even now they allowed 'three years more to pass without carrying out this decision; for they deemed the institution 'of an independent minis try to be So momentous a. measure that it must be' consummated with the utmost tare and caution. At last in 1467, a synod numbering seventy members met at Shots, - a village on a neighboring estate, in the house of a peasant named Dachek. The meet ing was opened with fasting and f rir and the reading of the Scrip ar Then the deliberations began, which resulted in a plan which left the issue absolutely in, the hands of the Lord.. ' Nine nien bf high repute for piety were first tileeted by ballot. Next twelve. paper lots were rolled together and put into a vase, nine of them being blank, and three inscrib ed with 44, the Bohemian word for he i.i. Thereupon a fervent prayer was offered up beseeching God to de signate of the nine nominees either one, or two, or three, as His minis ters; but if thisnhould not be the time which He had ordained-for such a censuramation, to cause all the nine to receive blanks. In this CllBO the Brethren would have deferrel,further action to some I future period. Sev eral members of the synod having been appointed to conduct the pro ce4xlings, took their places around a table, before which stoat the nomi nees, the rest of the assembly sitting is a semi-circle behind them, in sor emn and prayerful oilmen A lad named Procop was called in, and drew nine rolls, singly, out of the vue, giv ing one to each of the nominees, who advanced to the table and exhibited their lots. It appeared that, ail the three iucriled with lest had been drawn. The first. had been given - to Mstthisl of Burnside, the second to Thomas of Preknie, and the third to Elise of Chrenovio. The whole se- seanbly instantly lON to its feet, and every member luisterußd to acknow ledge these three men es the future ministers of the church, by pledging to them the right land of fellowship, A thanksgiving hymn, composed for the mum, was joyfully song, after which followed the Lord's Supper. The synod neat proceeded to con eider the ordination of the new mire- isters. - Who was to perform. this and in what wisp - After' earnest and prayerful debberation the following conOtsions were readied: nut, that -in the time of the Apostles then had existed no distinction between a bish- op and a priest, and that priests or presbyters ordairmd men to the - m=y; second, theta would con segue:My be lawftd- to hare the three, candidates ordained by the priests present at the 'synod; thhd, that at a very early age, however, before the death of St. John, the office of & blab- op had grown to be distinct from that of a priest, and.the right of ordain ing had been committed exchutively to bishops; fourth, that thistoga"- tion, although not of Scriptural au thority; was a wise <and a good one, and - ought to be observed, and that the unmstry of the Brethren ought to bear such , a character as 'would compel the Roman Catholics and the Bohemian church to acknowledge its validity; fifth, that therefore. the Brethren ought to remain true both to the usage of the - Aposballeal church and to that following the days of the Apostles and so fulfill . all righteous nes& Accordingly the candidates were ordained on the spot by the prieesta•,there present, with prayer and the laying on of hands; after which three of the ordaining priests, Mi chael Bradacions, and two others, were sent to a colony of Waldenses, on the confines of Austria, to secure the episcopacy. The history of these Waltlouses was peculiar. They were isulated from their brethren . in France and Italy, but on intimate terms with Rokyzan and other leaders (A the Bohemian church. Rokyzan was anxious to at tach them to his party. Hence, their ministers being ,all dead, he induced Bishop Philibert, a delegate of the Council of Basle, to ordain . two of their number, Frederick - Nem= and John \Vlach, as:priests at Prague, on the 14th of September, 1433. In the following year, 1434. when the Tibctr ites had' been defeated by . the Calix tines, when the utmost confusion pre vailed throughout Bohemia• in church and state; when an open feud- had broken out between the Council at Basle and the Pope; when, however, the former did everything in its pow er to conciliate the Bohemians,— these two Waldensian priests at the instance of, and in order to gratify Rokyzan and his coadjutors, limy elevated to the episcopacy bTbishops of the Roman Catholic church. Con sequently the Brethren cxmlSprocure the succession from this . colony _of Waldenses. Their two surviving bishops, of whom the senior was namedAtephen willingly conferred it upon ‘Michael Bradaciusand his two companion,. Having returned to Bohemia, anoth er synod was called, at which they first rcsrdained Matthias, Thomas and Elias aapriests, and then conse crated Elias as bishop. Thereupon the four bishops with whom were as sodded several priests, were coisti• fated a council for the governinent of the church. This council, how ever, was subordinate to the synod. The little society of Brethren,formd ed in 1457, on the barony of Litiz, was thus developed into a regular church, soon known as the Unitas Pratrum (Unity of the Brethren), with a valid ministry of its own. It in creased rapidly, organizing parishes in-many parts of Bohemia and Mora via. Bat the adversary, " the accu ser of the brethren," was not idle. Exerting that anti-christian power of which St. John said in his early day, " and even now it is already in the world," he made war-with the Saints. Two more persecutions broke out, which raged against—the Waldenses also. The Brethren "had trial of cruel moekings and scourging, rat, moreover ..of bonds and imprison ment" " They wandered in deserts and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth." They held their , public services and their synods at , night, in, dense solitudes, around fires, ' under, the starry canopy of heiven.l They walked,to such gathering places i in single files, through deep snows, and. the last man dragging tree branch to obliterate their footstepti. They were tortured on the rack and burned at the stake. Yet the more Satan raged the more they prospered. The blood of the mart-ss Was the' seed of the church: The colony of Waldenses and their episcopate in deed became extinct, Bishop Stephen Isuffering martyrdom at . Vienna; but the Brethren remained; and when Martin Luther nailed his these to the door of the Wittenberg Cathe dral, on the 31st . , of. October, 1517, there existed a church of Reformers before the Reformation, in Bohemia and Moravia, numbering at least 200,- 000' members; among 'whom were some of the noblest %Milks of the realm, counting over 400 parishes, using a hymn book and \ a catechisM of its own, proclaiming its doctrines lin various Confessions Of Faith, em ploying - two printing-presses, arra' scatterir,ig the Bible and other reli gions books far and wide. • The Brethren made common cause with the Reformers. They sent depu ties to those of 'Wittenberg and to those of Strassburg ; they co ed with Luther, Melanetho=';' ars of the one school, and with Cal= i vin, Capito and Bucer of the other. And while they were induced by such intercourse to drop some doctrinal points' which ,savored of scholastic theology, and to define essential deo trines more clearly., they became, at. the same time, the Lord's instru ments in op3nox to the minds of these Mat:loner men the imPortaties of a seripthral discipline. Calvin, in partienhir, was nepreaned .with this idea, and introduced some of the prin ciples at Geneva which he had learn ed from the Brethren. Time will not permit mo to ptusnethis part of their history an 7 further, although it is full of interealang' details. The &wawa War, in which Bo hernia became involved, keeled on the focirth persecution of the Unitas Fratrum in that country,in 1537. The Illointian Diet, on the contrary, in which there were influential members 'of the church, refused to sanction auk decree against the Brethren. In 804 hernia their meetings were teaks, and at last all team wing onthe roy al estates were .banished. Bat this cruel measure, involving as it did the loss of all thsr:r earthly possessiasto God again oyerrriktd for the 'Timed of the church and the gioiy of His name.

They published hynan books in Bohemian, German and Polish , founded colleges and theological seminaries, and translated, - after a labor of fourteen years, the entire Bible, from the.orig inal into Boliethirin, which version is counted to be the best, ever made in that language. In 1649, they be- Came onp of the legally acknowledg ed churches, of the realm, religieus liberty having keit proclaimed in Bohemia, and Moravia. From the pinnacle of prosperity they were, however, soon cast down by that hand - which has, forag erli Ztn smit ing at the truth. :F d IL, a bigoted -Romanist, ha • became king at Bohemia in 1617,_ the Pro testants refused him allegiance, and elected Frederick tithe .Palatinate, as their sovereign. His army 'was totally defeated near Prague,, in 1620. And now Ferdinand began wlmt.is generally knows as the Bohemian Anti-Reformation. Capuchin friars, jesnits, and imperial.dragoons were his agents. Traversing the country or six years, like a _band' of fiends, hey rooted out every vestige of evan- gelical religion. When their work was done, Bohemia and 31ofavia lay chained at the feet of the Hierarchy; while more than 30,000 of their Pro lestant families were in exile. Among these were 'thousands of the Breth- ren ; those that minified in _their homes wore forced under tlie yoke of Rome. Their pastors were banished or slain ; their churches taken from them ; and their ecclesiastical organ ization ceased to exist. For a time Poland became their refuge and the town of Lis* their center. • In 1627, amidst the last acts of the Anti-Reformation, Amos Comeniuk the Jeremiah of the Ancient, and the John the Baptist of the Iteneied Church of the Brethren, fled front Moravia. When on the top of the mountain ridge which constitutes its frontier, be turned to look for the last time neon his native land.

This •preyer was most wonderfully fulfilled. The rni-' tas Fratrwm, in the estimation of its enemies,' was dashed in pieces and forever destroyed. But these enemies "imagined a vain thing." He that sits in the heaven; laughed;'the Lord had them in derision. At first the Brethren hoped, that the Thirty Years War ,would restore them to their count ry. But when this came to an end in 1648, Bohe mia and Moravia were excluded from the religious liberty agreed upon at the peace of Westphalia. Eight years later, to s . war with Sweden, Lima .was sacked and burned, cuid the ' ony of Brethren which had gathered there were broken up. Then they were indeed cast down ; but avail nor not destroxei. It ; is true, the `remnant of them in Poland gradual ly amalgamated with die Reformed Church ; but a seed remained in their original mate, - a seed that .pre served the hope of a future renewal and trans anted this hope from one' generation to the nest. Meanwhile, Amos Csimeldres was earning high fame es an ethics*, in Sweden, England, Holland, and wren Araeri ka, the trustees of whose first Iltniver-- ty at Cambridge, Massachusetts, endeavored to secure him as the head of their institution. But he did, not forget the church of his love. Filled 'arith prophetic anticipations of what God would accomplish, he prepared the. way for its resuseita= tion, first, by . setting forth its consti tution and discipline, together With , a brief history, which work he left to posterity to be nsed in due time ; sad second, by perpetuating the episcopacy, so that the espy= link between the Zion of the past and the Zion of the future Might 'remain in tact. Hence; froin time to time,.min istexced the Befernied eftnnmnion were ammarsted bishops ofthellni tea Fratmze, in apes contra span, in hope against hope. In this way forty-five years rolled round. And then, in 1707, as Gorge . Jeschke; a vet aged isstrisich of iferiaria - and a t of the Breihren, - Ams ahead to die, he celled his family around his bed and told them that the renewal of their church *ma at hand, and that if it should tab Place ,1100 "Per in a kerejgn eamietry,lhey should Dot heaitate to leave ell and flee thither, .

Henn but become therallying placefor the Brethren ; and although other Chits' - tians,front the churches of Germany ioined them, they gave to the colony its tone and tendency: The ancient discipline litUided down by Comenbis was introduced ; the venerable epis copate presetved with such care, was received at the handeof DanieLErnat Jablonski , and Christian Sitkovins, the last two - survivors of a lino of se renty bishops, stretching front 1467 to 1735; and the dwell of Bohemian and Moravian confessors, concealed frora human- eyes for three genera tions, renewed its youth like the ea gles. . , • ' This was .the beginning of a new epoch in the fasten of the :Unitas ktitira. develop ent was inan , vrated different fro that of former days and yet not less to the glory of God. Count Tun r orf, Who had' identified himself I. the cause of the.

Hence, wherever they came, on the continent of Europe, in Great Britain, and in America,— for they soon spread to the two Countries last named = exclusive settlements were fonndectin which .religion not only controlled spiritual, but social and industrial interests, and from which the vices and follies of the world were banished. In an& settle ments none but members of the church could hold. real - estate.. No community of goods, liowner, exist -ed among them, as is often supposed. Such an arrangement was wet m treduced. Every member retained the tudiniited control of his own pro perty. The neleessary, result of this policy was to keep the church small ;• rt those mmlwave torns became re treats where educsAion and. mission- i ary nal were fostered, where simpli city .and lowramirldedness bad a home, where flourished a guileless spirit and& beantifulßiothertamd.
