s we enter on the closing stages of our journey, the character of the land-
scape changes; and, leaving behind the wild land of romance and ad-
venture, we come out on the broad, high road of slow but steady progress.
The death of Zinzendorf was no crushing blow. At first some enemies of
the Brethren rejoiced, and one prophet triumphantly remarked: "We shall
now see an end of these Moravians." But thatout his mantle. Already the Brethren were sufficiently strong to realize their
calling in the world. In Saxony they had established powerful congregations
at Herrnhut and Kleinwelke; in Silesia, at Niesky, Gnadenberg, Gnadenfrei
and Neusalz; in Central Germany, at Ebersdorf, Neudietendorf and Barby;
in North Germany, at Rixdorf and Berlin; in West Germany, at Neuwied-
on-the-Rhine; in Holland, at Zeist, near Utrecht. At first sight this list does
not look very impressive; but we must, of course, bear in mind that most
of these congregations were powerful settlements, that each settlement was
engaged in Diaspora work, and that the branches of that work had extended
to Denmark, Switzerland and Norway. In Great Britain a similar principle
held good. In England the Brethren had flourishing causes at Fulneck, Gom-
ersal, Mirfield, Wyke, Ockbrook, Bedford, Fetter Lane, Tytherton, Dukin-
field, Leominster; in Ireland, at Dublin, Gracehill, Gracefield, Ballinderry
and Kilwarlin; and around each of these congregations were numerous so-
cieties and preaching places. In North America they had congregations at
Bethlehem, Emmaus, Graceham, Lancaster, Lititz, Nazareth, New Dorp,
New York, Philadelphia, Schoeneck and York (York Co.); and in addition,
a number of preaching places. In Greenland they had built the settlements
of New Herrnhut and Lichtenau. In the West Indies they had established
congregations in St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. Jan, Jamaica and Antigua. In
Berbice and Surinam they had three main centres of work. Among the Red
Indians Zeisberger was busily engaged. As accurate statistics are not avail-
able, I am not able to state exactly how many Moravians there were then in
the world; but we know that in the mission-field alone they had over a thou-
sand communicant members and seven thousand adherents under their spe-
cial care.
As soon, then, as the leading Brethren in Herrnhut-such as John de Wat-
teville, Leonard Dober, David Nitschmann, the Syndic, Frederick Köber,
and others-had recovered from the shock occasioned by Zinzendorf's death,
they set about the difficult task of organizing the work of the whole Mora-
