Thousands of Endeavorers belong
ing to the Mennonite, Moravian and
River Brethren denominations have
a large part in the work of the
Christian Endeavor society in Penn
sylvania.
The Rev. N. B. Grybb, of Phila
delphia. is one of the denomination
al trustees of the United Society of
Christian Endeavor, representing
the Mennonite denomination. The
Rev. A. D. Thaeler, of Bethlehem,
is a trustee of the United Society

Menno Simons, founder of the
Mennonite church, was born in
Holland in 1 492. He became a
Catholic priest, but was led by a
case of persecution to think for
himself, and renounced Catholicism
in 1536. He spent the rest of his
life traveling through northern Ger
many preaching and establishing
churches. There are sixteen Men
nonite denominations, containing
altogether 80,000 members in 838
churches. Of these 35,000 are
members of the parent body. The
general conference of Mennonites
has 15,400 members.
The Moravian church is an out
growth of the national church of
Bohemia founded by Huss. The
correct name of the church is Uni
tas Kratrum (Unity of Brethren).
The Brethren were persecuted in
Bohemia and Moravia, where they
established their churches as pro
test against the state church, and
fled to the estate of Count Zinzcr
dorf in Saxony. From Germany
the Brethren came to Georgia In
1735, and five yofirs later removed
lo Pennsylvania, where they found
ed Bethlehem, which is still the
center of the northern province of
the Moravians.
The River Brethren are close to
the Mennonites in belief and prac
tice. They camp to Pennsylvania
from Switzerland in 1750, and now
number (in three divisions) 112
churchefe and 5,389 members. Their
name has reference to the Susque
hanna river, near which they set
tled. Tho Plymouth Brethren are
so called because many of them
gathered in Plymouth, England, in
the first half of the last century.
Their real name is Brethren.
