Sixty years after this period, the 'Church of the Brethren was raised as it were Itont the dead, by a persesentican intended to crush its last real mint in Moravia. Some families flying from thence, found refuge on the estates of Count Zin eendorf, in Lusatia, where they built a humble (Herrnhur), which is now the principal - Settlement of the Brethren. As their country men joined them, their Congregations gradually multiplied thrceneli Germany, and a few Were esta blished in Denmark, Seceder?, Russia, holland, told North America, The Brethren first appeared it, Eoeland about the middle of the last century, where (!hough t h e most malignant cali!maies Crete circulated against them), in the simplicity of con scioes innocence, they laid their case helot e Par liament. Their doctrines, digit ipiine , character, and history, were screptdously examined in Com iel:frees of both houses, and a Kill , exempting them from taking oaths, and beerittg arms, was carried with the unanimous consent of rite Bishops; indced, all opposition to it was abandoned, atter the final investigatiou of their ; a , d they were telly sat knowledged to be an (ancient Protest ant and Episcopal Church *, The Brethren have at creseet severed coegregations in Folgland, Sectlaml, and Ireland ; but their ',umbels are catty where small, and their ability of support ing the.cork of enlightening the Heathen very elender, If it could be ascertained how much they hate done, and with how little means, the world mieht be held in wonder and admiration ; -gs but they themselves would ascribe the whole to the idessiu g of the Almighty. No inconsiderable arnportion of these small means has been fur visited by rite occasional boanty of Christians of other denoutin a r i o n s , When the Moravian Refugees. on Count Zin zendort's estate, scarcely amounted to 600 ; when they had only just found rest from suffering them selves, and a - ere beginning to build a church and batitations, where there had previously been a (I sett ; their desire to promote the spiritual and temporal welfare of heathen nations becetne so pee rind, that in the short period of eight or nine years they sent Missionaries to Greenland, to•the Indians fled Negroes ie North end South Ame rica, to many of the 'West India Islands, to Lap lead, to T,rtary, to Algiers, to Guinea, to the Cape of Good (Jape, to Ceylon, anti the Nico bar Is heed,, to Persia, and ro Egypt.—la 1732, pitying title I:6.3cry of the Negroes in the West Indies, two Brethren sailed to the Dattish Island to St, Thomas ; and such wits their devotedness to the work, that having hearth that they could l eo h a ve itoercotnae with the stares, unless they , theinielves became slaves, they went with that fell purpose, that they might have the opportts airy of teaching the poor At; leans t .e way of de liverance from Heathen darkness and superstition. Thrush not called Upon in the event to make this sacrifice, they had for many years to labour for their bread under a tropical sun, while every hour of leisure was employed in iustructing the flea theo. The fruits of their zeal and perseverance in tine rime eppeared ; and in the West ( Danish and British) there are non' more than tweety-three thousand Negroes joined to rite Brialtree's• Congregations, and a vast num ber have entered into eternal rest, stedfast in the Christian taint. Not a step behind these in .nr dour and self-denial were the first Missionaries that went to Greenland iii 1733. These were plain non, who knew only their outlive tongue, and who, in order to acquire one of the most bar heroes dialects on the earth, had to learn the Denish language first, that they avail its of the Grammar of Mr. Egide, Daeisli Missionary thee in Char counny. Now, the principal part of the population of Greenland is become Christian ; the state of society is won tha fully changed, and instruction is at least as eniversal in that inhospitable region as in our owe country. Iu 1734, some Brethern went among the Italians of North America. Their labours, their trials, their sufferings, and their StICCVSS, were extraordinary even in Missionary History. Many thousands of these roving and turbulent savages, of all others the most haughty and untraetable, were converted front the errors of their ways, and adorned the doctrines of God their Saviour, both in their lives and by their deaths. Oo one occasion 96 men, women, and children, being treacherously made prisouers by white Banditti, were scalped and toms asked its cold blood, and, according to the testimony of their murderers, with their latest breath gave ailecting evidence of their faith. At another time eleven Missionaries, male and female, were burnt alive in their dwellings, or massacred and thrown hack into t flames in attirrept ing to escape, by a troop of Indians in the French sereice. In the late war 'also, the Brethren's Settlement at Fairfield, in Canade, eves plundered arid burnt to the ground by the A tiler can Artny under General Harrison. A Missionary such his wife accompanied the Chris ( i4l) Indians on their flight, who endered for two seats the most deplorable privation, with unshaken resigeation, thanktel to God that they had yet the bread of life, and the means of grace, when they bad scarcely anyother comfort lett. In 1737 George Schmidt settled in South Africa, and built himself a hut, and cleared a piece of ground near Ser geant's Raver. Finding it impossible to learn the hotteutot language, be set resolutely upon the task of teaching the Barbarians his o , vri. He semi so won the affections of these riffle people, that -they became willing scholars, end meae profijency in learning to read the Scrip tures. Jo the course of seven years he baptized See Journals of the Howe of Commons, and Acts .10 Geo. 11. cap.. 4.4, and 21 Geo. iI. cap. 30.; also a Congratu- Litory Letter from rclibis'iop Potter to one oft heir Bishops, on the occasion of his Congyerat .written in.

The Committee in London for the relief of the German sufferers felt it an imperative duty to afford their assistance, in order to neert the extremity of distress to which Clic) , were exposed *. It is not therefore surpriziug, that the Mission Funds should be so reduced as to have been scarcely suffi cient 10 support the families of the Missionaries that are maintained by them, and the aged and infirm .vbo have retired front labour—or that the Bic:direct should be at the present time dependant upon other communities of Christians for the pre servation of the existence of their Missions ahroadt.

Last week, sevetal pe:sons at tirust•ebi 'bought that they vereeived a Comet by the naked eye. 'even peso* who gave proof of their sincere conversion. But owing to some difficulties that arose at that period, he went to Europe to obtain assistance, ittsil to procure powers from the Dutch Government to pursue his peaceful Ministry.— These were denied, and he was neVer permitted to go hack to the Colony. Foi 50 years, ac• cording to human apprehension, his labours seem ed to hate been lost, and his incessant supplica tions to the moment of his deaths (tor he was found a Corpse in the RA' of prayer) unanswered. But at the end of that interval, the Brethren were enabled to send three men of like spirit with George Schmidt, to the Cape of Good Hope, with the permission of the Dutch Government. They found the spot which he had cultivated ; the ruins of his hut were yet visible ; but his garden was run to waste, and the whole valley was such a haunt of mild beasts, that it was called 13acian's Kloof, (Baboon's Glen). The new Missionwries, however, took possession of it, expelled these intruders. gathered the Ho!tertiots to hear the word of God, and taught their children to read it, under the shadow of a magnificent pear -tree, planted by their predecessor, which was still in fill! vigour and bearing. But this tree and its fruit were not all that remained of the good wait's labours: an aged blind woman, who 10111 been ~ , n e of his converts, being traced out, pronneed Dutch Testament, which he hid given her when he-left Attica, and which she kept as her greJlest treA:nie, carefully wrapt up in two sheep-skins.
