ted and successful Prot.':stnrit_’pastors" in B0-
bemi, at the present time,‘-is Rev. F-rederit-k
William Kosstirh. He is saitl to be nearly
related to the Grvernor of HllngaI‘y._ ln
I856, he undertook to gather achurch of
Bohemian Protestants at Prague, the scene
"of"the labor of the Bohemian martyrs, Jer-
ome. and John Huss. Several converts W€r€
‘made from ttinritip; the Ptiplsls previous to
the year 1848., _'l‘he revolutions of that year
gave l'Pll11int1S liberty to the Austrians, and
Kosguth nvailr-d himself‘ of the precarious
boon His preaching place was soon crow-
ded, and hundreds of Papists became con-
verts to his doctrine. ln 1840. he commence-
ed ‘a periodical by the name of The Herald
ofthe Bolieniian Brethren, which soon at-
tracted the tiriiico of the Governzncnt and
was so rpressetl.
Very severe opposition, of course, has
been excited on tho p-'tl‘l'. of the Papal priest-
hood. They have denotinced him in terms
the tllfist bitter and uncompromising; setting
him forth as the real Antichrist and publish-
ing the most absurd calumriies agttitist him
so as to provoke the insults of the mod and
to crush him as their fathers tlid the Bohe-
mian rnartyrs. But they could not arrest the
