"Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus."—(Col. 3, 17.) Deeply impressed with the truth of this apostolical injunction, and mindful of the words of our Lord-" without me ye can do nothing," (John 15, 5.) the editor implores the aid of the Holy Spirit when entering upon the discharge of his difficult and re-. sponsible duties, connected with the publication of this periodical. Feeling his great insufficiency, he requests his readers to view with great forbearance the very imperfect manner in which he shall attempt to perform the labor assigned to him, and begs an interest in the prayers of all, that the blessed Head and Ruler of our church may vouchsafe His blessing upon this publication, so that it may in His hands prove an humble means to minister to the wants, and advance the prosperity of our beloved Brethren's Church, to the honor and glory of our Triune God! In presenting the first number of the Moravian Church Miscellany, we beg leave briefly to refer to the history of this new periodical. In the Preparatory Provincial Synod, convened at Bethlehem, in May 1847, it was generally regretted, that our congregations in the United States, for want of a proper medium of communication, had gradually become less acquainted with each other than they are with some of our societies in Europe. The unanimous wish was, therefore, expressed, that suitable measures might be adopted to further the acquaintance among our American congregations. In order to attain this object, it had It is scarcely necessary to state, that the editor has in these prefatory remarks merely expressed his individual opinions and views, for which he alone desires to be held responsible, been proposed to convert the Missionary Intelligencer into a monthly periodical, which should contain missionary intelligence and reports from our congregations and out-stations, as also essays, and other original articles, sanctioned by the supreme board of elders for our province of the church. (v. Report of the Prep. Prov. Synod of 1847, § 25.) The Provincial Synod, that met at Bethlehem in June 1849, unanimously resolved, that this proposed publication should be issued as a monthly, under the title of the "MORAVIAN CHURCH MISCELLANY." The design of this new periodical is, to make it the means of increasing and fostering the communication between our American congregations, and thus to constitute it a centre of union, by making it an organ of the church, expressing and representing the spirit of our portion of the United Brethren's Church. In order to comprehend the scope of this work, thus authorized by the church, it may not be irrelevant imperfectly to sketch the action of the Brethren's Church in the different fields of labor, to which the Lord directed the brethren by the indications of His Providence and the leadings of His Holy Spirit. Three great doors of usefulness were opened unto the brethren by Him, "who hath the key of David, that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth." (Rev. 3, 7.) Notwithstanding "their little strength," the brethren were honored to publish the glad tidings of salvation abroad among the heathen, and at home "to keep the word of Christ's patience," within the pale of nominal christendom, and in their own institutions and seminaries to sow the seed of God's word. Let us historically trace the labors of the brethren in the foreign and home mission departments, and in their institutions of christian education, and thus we shall be able more fully to understand the general design, which this periodical will aim to attain.When a persecuted remnant of the ancient Moravian and Bohemian Brethren's Church (which had been organized as the Unitas Fratrum, Gednota Bratrska, in the year 1457,) had fled from their homes and firesides in Moravia and Bohemia, and commenced to build their humble dwellings at Herrnhut, in Upper Lusatia (Saxony), on the estate of the youthful and pious Zinzendorf, their number was rapidly increased by accessions from the Lutheran and German Reformed churches of Germany, and by those who desired to live in closest communion as a people of God. After passing through a fiery ordeal of sectarian strife, the Lord blessed the labors of Zinzendorf, Watteville, and other men of God, so that peace and brotherly love were restored, and "times of refreshing allotted from the presence of the Lord," especially during the celebration of the Lord's supper, on the thirteenth of August 1727, in the Lutheran parish church of Berthelsdorf, a hamlet situated in a beautiful vale, about one |
