tion. To his devotion to the cause in which he 

 was engaged, he added considerable natural 

 talent for languages, and learned to speak, 

 with almost equal fluency, English,. German,

David Zeisberger, missionary, born in Zauch- 

 tenthal, Moravia, 11 April, 1721; died in Goshen, 

 Ohio, 17 Nov., 1808. In 1740 he emigrated to 

 Georgia, where his church was organizing a 

 mission among the Creeks. Thence he was 

 sent to Pennsylvania, where he assisted in the 

 building of Nazareth and Bethlehem. Prepar- 

 atory to entering the mission service in 1743, he 

 became a student in the Indian school at Beth- 

 lehem, where he was instructed in the Delaware 

 and Onondaga languages. Later he continued 

 the study of the latter at the capital of the Five 

 Nations. In addition to these languages he 

 was conversant with Mohican, Monsey-Dela- 

 ware. and Chippewa. From 1745 till 1750 he 

 was employed at Shamokin and Onondaga, and 

 in the latter year he visited Europe in behalf of 

 the mission. In 1752 he returned to Onondaga, 

 but was compelled to retire to Bethlehem at the 

 opening of the French and Indian war. Be- 

 tween 1755 and 1762 he visited North Carolina 

 and the New England provinces, labored among 

 the Indiatis of Connecticut, and also acted as 

 interpreter for Pennsylvania in their treaty 

 with Teedyuscung and his allies. During the 

 Pontiac war he took charge of the Moravian In- 

 dians, and after the peace accompanied them to 

 "Wyalusing, Bradford Co., Pa. In 1767 he estab- 

 lished a mission among the Monsey-Delawares 

 on Alleghany river, and three years later he be- 

 gan Friedenstadt, on the Beaver. His first 

 visit to Ohio was made in 1771, and a year later 

 he organized the mission on the Muskingum. 

 In 1798, Zeisberger with a few converts left Can- 

 ada and founded Goshen, Ohio, where he passed 

 the remaining ten years of his liie.—Appletori's

On the title-pages of some copies of the two

 "F. Zephyrin, O. S. F." immediately before the 

 words "Cum permissu superiorum." This is 

 evidently handwork, the stamp having left a 

 broken tracing of its oval outline.

Father Zephyrin tells me "this is a first 

 effort at a hymn-book ; it was printed by myself 

 on a very small hand-machine." 



Some of these hymns were printed on the
