DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A History of the Moravian Church in New York City The year nineteen hundred and twenty-two is especially important because it marks the two hundredth anniversary of the Renewal of the Unitas Fratrum, or Unity of the Brethren, now generally known as the Moravian Church. The renewal of this ancient Protestant Church meant a great deal to the world in general and to the Christian Church in particular. Some of the most glowing pages in church history have been written by Moravians. The record of their early achievements is not unlike the Acts of the Apostles. At a time when the greater part of the Christian Church lay in the cold grip of a rationalistic formalism which had little or no concern for the welfare of anybody, the hearts of the people of Herrnhut were on fire for God. Their one passion was Christ, and to make Him known their greatest desire. Therefore they went anywhere and everywhere, preaching the gospel. In due time the Church spread to Great Britain, North America, and other lands. In America the conversion of the Indians engaged the zealous attention of the Moravians for many years. At the same time, they carried on extensive evangelistic labors among the many white people who were without church affiliation. It Js natural, therefore, that their hearts should be directed to the religious needs of the metropolis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XVIII THE CHURCH AT LEXINGTON AVENUE AND THIRTIETH STREET The pastorate of Brother Amadeus A. Reinke was by far the longest in the history of the congregation. It extended over a period of nearly twenty-three years and nine months. That these years were not marked by any phenomenal growth in membership was not due to any lack on the part of the pastor. His large heart, genial disposition, generous spirit, excellent judgment, unselfish service, sincerity of purpose, and whole-hearted consecration to the Saviour whose cause it was his sole purpose in life to advance, made him a man universally beloved by the members of the congregation, and by a large circle of friends in the city and elsewhere. In at least two instances the friendship of non-Moravians brought unexpected financial returns. On December 12, 1872, Daniel Marley, a second-hand furniture dealer, died, and when his will was read it was learned that he had left, as a token of his regard for the pastor, a legacy of $5,000 to the congregation. A certain Miss Merritt, who altho she was not a Moravian had enjoyed the sympathetic ministrations of Brother Reinke during her last illness, willed him personally the sum of five hundred dollars. No one was more surprised than the pastor when these facts were revealed. When he took charge of the congregation it was in anything but a flourishing condition. The church had remained too long in Houston Street. By staying there after conditions had become well-nigh insufferable, it seriously damaged its strength and prestige. This detriment was increased by the homeless wanderings after the churchproperty had been sold. It was therefore like starting afresh when the little congregation began its labors at Lexington Avenue and Thirtieth...

A vast multitude were convicted, he writes. In their deaths they were made the subjects of sport, for they were covered with the hides of wild beasts and worried to death by dogs or nailed to crosses or set fire to and burned to serve as lights at night.
