Excerpt from Sketches of Moravian Life and Character and Character: Comprising a General View of the History, Life, Character, and Religious and Educational Institutions of the Unitas Fratrum Zinzendorf was not the first to pave the way for an evangelical Church, such as his institutions pre sented to the world, for Spener and Franke went before him. The former was born in 1635, and died in 1705. His theatre of action was chiefly at Frank fort-on-the-main; he carried his doctrines among all classes, amid the cottages of the peasant and the palaces of the noble. He wrote the Pia Desi derz'a and Zinzendorf's eulogy upon him was, Spener was a child of God, and this was more than all his other gifts, his learning and his high offices.
