Book Description
Excerpt from Moravian Customs and Other Matters of Interest Each settlement was not only a Church, but a religious community, governed by rules and regulations which had for their object a total separation from the smful follies and carnal lusts of the world. This fos tered the missionary zeal which constrained the Brethren to carry the gospel to the most degraded nations of the earth. But it also served to keep the Church small in numbers. Moravians have always been more eager to win souls for the Lamb that was slain than to gain members for their Church. Hundreds of people to whose spiritual needs they ministered in the early days of the Church in America were turned over to other Churches. Seventy thousand persons in Europe to-day are formed! Into societies and' served spiritually by fifty seven missionaries of the Moravian Church, although these people remain members of the State Churches. This is known as the Diaspora.

Excerpt from Moravian Schools and Customs Not even the sound of old brother Flach's hatchet, as he chops wood in the yard of the Sisters' house, is heard, for he is resting to wipe the perspiration from his furrowed brow; the fowls, too, are silent, lying huddled together in the shade, half buried in chips and saw-dust, beneath the deep eaves of the log-house.

Book Description
Excerpt from Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church (Unitas Fratrum) This Hymnal and Liturgies is presented to the Congregations of the Moravian Church in America, in accordance with a series of enactments of the Synods of 1913 and 1920, of the Northern Province of the Moravian Church in America. A committee, constituted of nine representatives of the Northern Province and two of the Southern Province, was appointed to revise the Hymnal; a committee of five was also appointed to revise the Liturgy. To the former was committed the task of assembling all parts of the work, determining details of arrangement and of publication. Both committees aimed steadfastly to bring the new Hymn Book up to the standards of modern hymnological and liturgical practice, without impairing its Moravian character. This latest addition to Moravian Hymnals has behind it a long and noble ancestry. It is the lineal descendant of the earliest collection of its kind. The Unitas F ratrum, or Moravian Church, was the first among Protestant churches to publish a hymn-book. It appeared in the Bohemian language, at Prague, in 1501. It contained versions of old Latin Hymns, together with many original compositions, mostly by John Hus and Bishop Luke of Prague. Subsequent issues followed up to the year 1569, some of them appearing in the Polish and German languages. The tunes, printed at the head of each hymn, were partly Gregorian, partly folk-song melodies adapted to the uses of the sanctuary, and partly original compositions. The hymns of these collections were a power in the Church, in Bohemia, Moravia and the regions beyond. They gave life to public worship, they were sung in the homes of noble and peasant, they set forth the pure Gospel in strains that captivated thousands of hearts.
