A CCEDING to the request of the editor of T h e C o m e n i a n , the following notes con­

cerning the Archives of the Moravian Church are herewith presented. ' These Archives, housed for many years in two large halls of the Central Moravian Church, at Bethlehem, in­clude the books, records and files of the Bethle­hem Moravian congregation and of the Mora­vian Church in America, Northern Province. They constitute one of the most valuable collec­tions of Protestant historical literature to be found in the country. The printed volumes and manuscript records here gathered recount ex­haustively the experiences and issues of the many-sided Moravian efforts in this country, stretching through a century and three-quarters, and afford much valuable material on Moravian Church beginnings and enterprise in other lands,reaching back four and a half centuries.

* * *

Brief notes concerning the Moravian Archives may, with propriety, be admitted to the columns of T h e C o m e n i a n , in view of the fact that, for fifty years and more, successive custodians of the Archives have, with a single exception, been alumni of the Moravian College and Theologi­cal Seminary. They have ^devoted effort and thought to the classifying, ordering and index­ing of the priceless records in their care. They and other M. C. alumni have Conducted ex­haustive research work along special lines of inquiry and have published the results of their investigations in edited1 translations, shorter monographs, longer treatises or in the serial Transactions of the Moravian Historical So­ciety or of some similar organization.

* * *

The library of the Archives numbers about 5000 volumes. Of these many are rare copies

of works dating back to colonial times or rare copies of early editions now out of print. Note­worthy among them are many works relating to various phases of Pennsylvania History, of the history of other American colonies, of Indian history, languages, customs, etc. Here, too, are bound files of all Moravian periodicals and com­plete collections of Moravian theological, de­votional, educational, biographical, missionary, and hymnological literature. All new books re­lating to the Moravian Church and its enter­prises are regularly added to the material now on the Archives shelves.

* * *

Separate from the above, though a part of the Archivés, is the Malin Library of Moravian Literature. After years of effort, of widely con­ducted correspondence and of discriminating selection, Mr. William G. Malin, of Philadel­phia, succeeded in assembling the books of this library. By deed of gift, he conveyed this re­markable library to the authorities of the Mora­vian Church and, i.n so doing, stipulated that the collection should remain intact. It contains I365 volumes. The securing of them involved an outlay of $15,000. Many of them are exceed­ingly rare copies of works published more than three centuries ago. They relate chiefly to the ancient history of the Moravian Church.

* * *

The portraits and paintings of the Archives form a unique and valuable collection. Con­noisseurs find in them artistic merit as well as historic value. The famous painting, “The Power of the Gospel” (Zeisberger preaching to the Indians), property of the Society for Propa­gating the Gospel among the Heathen and for many years stored, by that Society in. the Ar­

H T H E C O M E N T A N

chives, will again be added to the Archive art collection' when the Archives will have been transferred to the new Archive Building.

, * * p |

The most valuable deposit of the Archives consists of the manuscripts, diaries, journals, re­ports, etc., relating to the early Moravian settle­ments of Pennsylvania and neighboring colonies, their missionary and educational activity. In the “ Inventory of Unpublished Mss. in Protest­ant Archives,” published by- the Carnegie Foundation, twentyTive closely printed pages of good size are filled with a list, giving titles, authors and dates of Mss. in the Moravian Ar­chives here. These manuscripts furnish ex­haustive data concerning the early history of Moravianism in America. Incidentally, they contain many statements of importance to thè general history of the United States. Great weight is attached to their testimony by scholars, for early Moravian writers and diarists have the enviable reputation of having been very accurate and painstaking.

<|t H*

For some time the need of an adequate, fire­proof building for the archives has been a mat­ter of much solicitude. It is gratifying, there­fore, to add to these notes the statement that the building fund has been completed by collec­tion and subscription, that the building site has been selected and that the building plans are be­ing matured.' Within the new structure the in­valuable records of the Moravian Archives, that have been accumulating these many years,- will repose in new conditions of safety. Proper dis-

To “ good M. C.” we look for the supply of an unfailing succession of scholars qualified by true historic sense and insight, shrewd judg­ment in estimating values, understanding of the importance of detail, painstaking industry, accu­rate workmanship and linguistic and literary gift for the task of translating, editing, com­piling and interpreting the documentary treas­ures of the Archives. Theirs is an important function. The general outlines of our national history, social, political, economic and religious, have long since been defined. Historians have been at vast pains to determine them correctly. No>w historical investigators and historical as­sociations, the land over, are bringing to light the significant details. The general outlines are being filled in. May sons of M. C. nof fail to make available for church, community, com­monwealth and country the contributions of historical knowledge which these Archives make possible—that knowledge which makes men to be more truly at home in the time and the place in which they live!

TH E age in which we live is for us, as Ameri­cans, probably the most prosperous we

have ever experienced. To others it is the most tragic. We are happy in our prosperity, and thus often forget the essentials of true char­acter and noble life. Others are learning to live truly great lives by making great sacrifices, by meeting difficult problems. In the midst of our prosperity, if we err, if we yield to perverted in­fluences, to untruthful suggestions, we cannot lay the blame upon our state of prosperity. The germs of untruthfulness, of deceit, hatred, covetousness, striving after wealth by foul means, are not external, but internal forces. The seat of that evil is in the mind, .in the heart of man. Therefore, prosperity is not the cause of evil, nor is pressing need, though the man who steals when in great need is certainly more justified in so doing than the man who commits robbery when he already posseses great wealth.

Now, the highly civilized age in which we live, our education and prosperity, our social stand­ing, our religious enlightenment, all cry to us with bne accord, above the tumult which reigns ’round about, “ B e ^ o n t h e S q u a r e .” What does it mean to be on the square ? A square, to be really a square, must be perfect.' If it has any defects, it is no longer a square. It may be a tool consisting of two strips of steel forming a right angle, but it is imperfect, it has been marred by some external force, and therefore can no longer be used for the purpose for which it was made.

To be square in our daily activities does not mean, to appear honest, and be impure in the heart, plotting to deceive some one. It does not mean, “ do unto others as they do to you, but do them first.” It means, “ Do unto others as you would have’ them do1 to you.”

We sometimes have the idea that it is de­sirable to be honest in the large issues, but i t» does not matter so much in the little things. Be not deceived, you can not hide your evil char­acter. The expert will be sure to find you out.

There are many opportunities to1 yield to un­true influences. The business world is full of

“ crooks.” Why do men in business yield to such influences ? Simply because it appears to be the easiest course. It appears so, but the man who is honest, strictly on the square, has

1 his fight first, and when he has established his reputation, temptations are hot so numerous, though not entirely lacking. The other man is dishonest, he takes the easiest course at the be­ginning, but gradually goes down with the tide until he finds himself in disgrace. Then his trouble dnd battle begins. Ridiculed, despised, he hangs his head and works his way like a miserable cur. The honest man may be laughed at, mocked, but he can hold his head erect and look the world squarely in the eye without flinching.

College students are in the midst of a year of activity. In studies there are hardships, in athletics there are great ambitions. But just how shall we meet the problems that come up daily throughout our course? We will meet them in one of two ways. We will either be honest or dishonest. There is absolutely no middle way. A little dishonesty is dishonesty nevertheless. Whether in the classroom, on the campus, or in your private activities, the standard must be upheld, or it is trampled un­der foot. What does it mean to be strictly honest? It means to be honest to the last farthing. If a man steals a nickle, he has stolen just as if he had stolen a thousand dollars. It is cheating to copy in "class as well as in the ex­amination. So there can be only one standard. Dare to flunk, but be honest.

Then comes the problem of hotjesty in ath­letics ; the football field, the basketball floor, the diamond1, or in what other athletics we may take part. Here it is hard to keep on the path of honesty. The crowd on the side lines is cheer­ing us on, expects us to win, the coach says we dare not lose. But how shall we win? Fight, fight, fight, but do it honestly. If your opponent is superior to you, shake his hand and strive to reach his standard. The man that can take de­feat with a smile after he has done his best, is

T H E C O M E N I A N

the hero. The man who wins by foul means is a miserable coward. In this matter those who are on the side lines can help the team men be honest. Whën your team loses do not desert it. Show your men that you appreciate their honest efforts, and that you stand back of them for honest play.

But it is not enough to be honest. We must be “on the square -j- W h a t do we mean by this phrase ? Simply this : Our morality is often merely a negative morality, . By that we mean, taking morality merely as abstaining from things which we know to be wrong. That is not sufficient. We must also have a positive mor­ality. This is, do what we know to be right, which takes some positive energy on our part. It means to. extend a helping hand to those who are weaker than we. Help the fallen, the ig­norant, the poverty stricken, the suffering. There are a thousand forms of suffering around about us ; men burdened with a thousand sins, suffering not necessarily on account of their own : sins but because of the sins of their superiors.

How then pan we be on “ the sqûare -p.” Is it enough to contribute to our church work and general philanthropic activities? That is just where so many are resting. Our churches today •are full of men and women of medium, and even great wealth, who are soothing their guilty con­sciences, calming their evil hearts, with the argument that they are church members in fairly good standing, pay their dues, go to ser­vice .more or less regularly, and that is all that is necessary for them. The devil is a good com­forter in many respects. He pads things up beautifully when his faithful ones become rest­less. Go see the result of your evil works. See those suffering in the slums, in painful, shameful agony. Move from your comfortable seat and examine the lives others, all around you, are living. Because you give your dollar in church, does not atone for your sins. Reach the first half of the standard. Be square yourself, and then add the second step, which means that you will help your neighbor.

There is a class of men that stands high above all others in philanthropy. Men speak about

them. What wonderful characters they are! They spend millions to alleviate the sufferings of men. Assuredly their names shall be written in high places, their fame published abroad. Let Us give men credit for all the good that they do. There are, no doubt, many. who have made large fortunes in honest business pursuits. At the same time let us examine such characters before we brand them Saints and call them blessed. Many a rich man has drawn the very marrow out of the bones of poor women and children for years, until his fortune became so large that he hardly knew what to do with it,'and then tried to atone for his evils by ¡'giving away this blood- money. Thank God, the day has come when the law interferes with such business. Now, which is the better j to make men miserable all their lives, and when they are on their death beds send them a gift, or to make conditions such that they can earn an honest substantial living? Such philanthropists are making a decided mis­take. Blood-money cannot buy their redemp­tion. They are guilty. After years of phi­lanthropy, when the bulk of their millions has been given'away, the wropgs which they have committed still stand. Past deeds cannot be undone.

Other men have been able to “ keep on the square” through many difficulties.: Such men are heroes; they are truly great. But one thing

.is yet lacking—the plus. Unless the honest man fights the evil, no other will. There are a great many evils against which we must direct our darts. There are many sufferers whom we can help, many who need comfort and cheer. Not all men can enter a settlement district, or do social work as a vocation, but we can constantly be on our guard for some one who is in need,, and whom' we can help so easily.

If we are “on the square,” this very fact will make us strong. The first step leads up to the second. But the guilty also receive their re­ward. _ Ernest McGaffy expresses it very well in poetic form:

“ Y o u m ay take th is w o rld as it com es an cfgoes A n d you w ill be sure to find

T h a t fa te w ill square the account she ow es, W h o ever com es out b e h in d ;

Settlement of HXHacbovnaC Y R IL H. P F O H L , ’19

IN 1753 a band of earnest Moravians.set out from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to found a

church in North Carolina known as Wachovia and situated in the foot-hills of the Blue Ridge. This tract had been granted them by Lord Gran­ville, one of the Lord’s Proprietors. They were twelve in number,---representatives of different trades, with a minister, a doctor,- and a business man, known as “warden.” There accompanied them three men, who were to return to Bethle­hem.

The journey lasted for about six weeks and many hardships were endured,—roads had to be cut in some places, and streams had to be forded.

Previous to this, Bishop Spangenberg and a party had with Lord Granville’s surveyor se­

lected and surveyed the site for Wachovia. This name had been chosen because the spot had re­minded them of Count Zinzendorf’s estate in Austria, amidst the beautiful rivers and valleys of that land. The 'Count’s estate was named “Wachau” (“Wach” meaning river, and “ aue” meaning valley or meadow).

Finally, on the 17th of November, the twelve arrived on the site of Bethabara. Here they, found a cabin which in former days had been tenanted by one Hans Wagner and in this they spent the first weeks.

Nothing much in the way of harvesting and trading could be done during the first winter of

: their stay, but the next summer they harvested wheat, corn, tobacco, flax, buckwheat, cotton, oats, barley and a great many garden vegetables.

| In this summer, also, trade with their neighbors began.

Bro. Grube, the minister, was called back to I Pennsylvania in 1754 and Bro. John Jacob Fries

was appointed to take his place. The journeys between the two places, Wachovia and Pennsyl­vania, had now become .quite frequent and a number of married couples and single brethren had arrived, and by 1756 the Bethabara settle­ment consisted of sixty-five persons. This brought on the need of a congregation house, which was added to the now growing village.

The French and Indian War came on in 1756, but the Brethren remained friendly with the In­dians as long as possible. In attendance with the war there came to their ears the usual hor­rors of Indian warfare and the Brethren saw the need of a fort. They being men of action rather than words, began the building of the fort at once. The Indians still remained friendly and when they came to the village they were always fed. By and by the fame of Bethabara spread among the red men as a place where there lived “ good people with much bread.” However, the Indians became less friendly and finally started open hostilities. Refugees began to arrive from all around the section of Wachovia and became so numerous that extra provisions had to be stored up. The Brethren now established a watch and any Indian spy seen lurking near was promptly fired upon.

There were numerous incidents of Indian cruelty and treachery which lasted during eight years.

The refugees who remained at the fort during this time learned to love and respect the Mora­vians and became connected with the church and thus sprung up the congregations of Be- thania, Friedberg and Hope.

By this time Bethabara had1 become crowded and it was decided to build another village, A site was chosen three miles north-west of Beth­abara in what was called the “ Black Walnut Bottom.” Eight families from Bethabara and eight families from the immediate neighborhood settled in the mew village. At this time there came on a period of sorrow, which was a viru­lent fever. One day while the Brethren were working on one of the houses in Bethania a messenger arrived from Bethabara with news for one of the Brethren, Seidel by name, that his wife was sick and that he should come home im­mediately. She died that night and in three days he also passed into his last rest. This plague took twelve of their number away, including the physician who had accompanied the first settlers. Bishop Spangenberg, who was on a visit to

B utum n From one point of view, theXTbOUQbtS Autumn season is one which

nourishes sad and despondent thoughts, but from another, what an invitation and a challenge compels our attention! We see the trees left gaunt and bare, the fields cleared of their harvest, the birds departing for warmer homes, and the flowers retreating before the biting sharpness of the night air. Truly, all this suggests a general depression in nature. But let us seek a deeper meaning. The forests are indeed stripped of their foliage, but are they not preparing for the sterner life? At this season all the world is being keyed up to the proper pitch of resistance for the coming trial. .

The invigorating sting of the clear frosty air, the increased activity of bird and beast, the

general strengthening spirit of all nature should impel man also to throw aside superficiality, and lay bare the fiber which is able to accomplish real deeds. Let any one take a walk through the woods and notice what an unmistakable feel­ing of renewed energy pervades his ’being. Shall we fail to understand the true meaning of all this preparation? Now is thè time, not to mourn for the death of those beautiful blossoms, but to gather together and organize our energies so that when the struggle really begins, we may be able to show living buds of achievement break­ing forth from the protecting bark, rather than a front maimed and disabled by the combat.

In other words, let’s get busy, put in real work in classes, come out strong for athletics, stand behind our various organizations, boost the play, and above all, when we hit something hard show that we mean business. There are plenty of opportunities to fit' our actions to our words ! R. w. s

What do we generally con- drittctsm sider a critic? We say that he

is a person who picks out all the points that are wrong, or which he considers wrong in an effort, and unfortunately, the ma­jority of critics do just this thing. The ques­tion is asked, is this the proper office of a critic? Any person who carefully thinks the matter over, will answer “ No” to this question. Now do we consider how many critics there are in this world? Just about as many.as there are people. This comes Home. It means that we are critics. We cannot deny that we criticise persons or things at some time or other. Then we must ask ourselves the question, do we do it properly? And methinks we will often have to say, “ No.”

What should be the proper method of criti­cism. In the first place we should be just. And this is exactly where we go astray most of the time. We are not just. It is hard to be fair in our criticism, but we should be so, if we do any criticising. The point is to give both sides. When we criticise a man, we should not only show him his faults and a remedy for them, but also commend him for all that is worthy of com­

T H E C Q M E N I A N 19mendation. This will make him feel that we are interested in him, that his work is not all bad, and that he will do better next time. Take for example the critic of the College Literary So­ciety, who is selected each meeting. Only too often we hear said, “ Now we get it from the Critic,” and then the critic proceeds to tear to pieces every man’s attempt, and point out that it is all wrong, pr the greater part of it ; and then he stops. He says nothing about the good that was in the attempt. The result is that the per­son criticised leaves with a feeling of discourage­ment, and is not inclined to try much again. Whereas, when the critic not only points out the faults, but also the commendable, the man leaves with a feeling of having done something, and is going to do better next time.

Besides being just in our criticism, we should be pleasant in giving it. Don’t make a man think “yt>u have it in for him,” when you haven’t, by your manner.

Do we realize that in a- large number of our criticisms, we are egotistical? Ylou say, “ How?” In just this respect, that often we criticise some­thing which we know little or nothing • about. Probably we criticise some person who is an expert, or semi-expert in his line, and we dare to place our opinion of what things ought to have been, against those of a person who has studied the case.

If we condense the above, we find the follow­ing, which will serve as a good motto, “ Make your criticisms Constructive instead of Destruc­tive.” If we do this,, we will find that people in­stead of objecting to our criticisms, will ask for them, and there will be a gain for all parties con­cerned. w. h . s.

H H)iscrimt* From the idea some people nation appear to have, no distinction

can be made between the rules governing an individual and those which deal with the state. However, upon making investi­gations and-comparisons, we soon get a dif­ferent conception.

Suppose an Emperor discovered that several nations had combined with the purpose of crush­

ing him. If he waited1 until they moved, his de­struction was evident. Therefore, he rushed upon one first; Whether he was right or wrong will be left to you. The ordinary rules govern­ing the conduct of individual members of civi­lized communities will not help you much in reaching your conclusion. If any of us had reason to believe that our house was going to be robbed, we would notify the police. A nation which fears another, and perhaps a stronger one, is about to invade it, has no police to tell.

M6st every one of the powers engaged in the present war says it -is fighting to ward off an assault which was about to be made on it or its friend. Nearly all of their people are sure they are engaged in a defensive war. Such a belief is possible because attack may be the only effective defense.

One nation charged that it was a victim of a crime against international law and Christian ethics. Its invaders replied that whether the in­vasion of that country was or was not a techni­cal viola'tion of a formal right, nevertheless it was the most effective, if not the only way in which it could defend itself against an unjust and dangerous attack aimed at its very existence as a nation.. We answered that we have no right even to form an opinion upon the issue thus made.

It follows that every state; no matter how peaceful and well governed, it may be, must de­pend for its protection upon its own strength and upon that alone. It may not hope for even so much as moral support from any terrestrial power, unless it can convince some other nation that the latter’s own selfish interests are in peril. Can we imagine a group of men and women with such a conception of individual rights and duties? They would not be pleasant people to live with. Was it upon moral grounds that the United States took the stand it did? If so, have we not said that in some respects the moral code of individuals' is. not applicable to the relations of states? In all organized1 societies, one indi­vidual is entitled to the help of. others in defend­ing his life and property against unjust attack.

S e ttle m e n t of HOacbovta(Continued lrom p age 17 .)

Wachovia at this time, stood by them bravely.On February 14, 1765, a site was chosen for a

central town (this having been the intention of the Brethren from the first) and was named “ Salem,” meaning “peace.” Count Zinzendorf had given this name to the projected central town.

One of the active men in the founding of Salem was, Frederick William von Marshall, who was a ruling spirit in Wachovia. He had joined the Moravian Church under the influence of Count Zinzendorf and had given sixty years of active service to it, thirty-four of them in Wachovia. He is buried along the middle walk in the Moravian Grayeyard in Salem:

The first house was built on January 6, 1766, on the Jot on the corner of Shallowford and Liberty Streets. About a month afterward eight young men came to live in the house. Other houses sprung up rapidly after this and the next year much of the population of Betha- bara moved to Salem-.

The “ Square” was located between what is now Bank and Academy Streets, and a meeting house was erected on the north-west corner. It was the habit of the Moravians to build a “ square” with all the congregational buildings around it. But as it was easier to get a water supply one block farther dawn, the Square was moved there. All of the necessary buildings were built around it, the Congregational house being on the east side.

The birthday of the Southern Province of the Moravian Church came in 1771, when on No­vember the 13th the first meeting hall was dedi­cated and all dependency on the Bethlehem con­gregation stopped. ‘ This day is annually re­membered as the “ Congregation Festival.”

Another congregation was abouut to spring up on the southern boundary of Wachovia. In 1754, a year after the arrival df the settlers, a man named Adam Spach settled about three miles from the southern line of Wachovia. In September he visited the Brethren, to become acquainted with his nearest neighbors, and be­came interested in the Moravian faith. He came often after this, and he and his family took refuge in Bethabara during the Indian war. In 1759» Bro. Bachof visited Adam Spach and preached'to him and a number of his German neighbors. They built a church and in 1766 a minister was promised them. In 1770, Bro. Bachof became their minister and the newly es­tablished congregation was called “ Friedberg,” 'which means “ Hill of Peace.”

In 1769 six German families came to Wa­chovia. The Brethren at Salem sold them some land and they settled at a place which is known as “ Friedland,” where a church was built and one more congregation established.

After this came “ Hope,” which was the first English-speaking congregation, and was located in the south-western corner of Wachovia.

When the Revolution came on, therefore, Wachovia was in a flourishing condition. Four congregations had already been established, with prospects for two more. It was the center of trade for that section of North Carolina and was recognized throughout the state as the seat of an energetic, trustworthy, God-fearing people.
