Methodists and Baptists Upstage the Moravians




From time to time the Methodists and the Baptists upstaged the Moravian order of things. Consider this note from the Friedland Diary - 1856:

"The Sunday School, nine children. The children are very ignorant and generally very dull. Preached from John 1:29. The meeting was a small attendance. I have since learned that at this season of the year the Methodists have their camp meetings, and when these occur or the Baptists practice immersion there is a general gathering to these places from curiosity, religious motives, and wickedness."
