Moravian Missionary Jubilee
We believe the readers of the REVIEW, remembering the articles published not long ago on some of the various mission enterprises carried on among the Moravians, will be interested in the following item from the N. Y. Independent:— On the twenty-first of August next it will be just a century and a half since the Moravians began their missionary work in foreign lands. No church in Christendom has developed so much energy and zeal in the conversion of the world, in proportion to its numbers, as the Moravians. Its missionaries have carried the gospel with diligence and perseverance to every quarter of the globe, and have won rich triumphs in the darkest fields. Now they propose, in this jubilee year, not to glorify themselves, though they have wherewith to boast; but to mark the anniversary by the raising of a fund for the reinforcement and extension of the missions of the Unity’s Brethren. Three new missions have been established in the last fifty years—in Australia, the Moskito Coast, and Tibet."
