Evangelical pastors have had a majority in the Church Courts, and now exercise a most beneficial influence over the whole Church. The leading part in recent aggressive movements was taken at first by Senior Janata, distinguished as much for his urbanity of manner and power of suasion as for his poetic gifts and evangelical earnestness, and by Pastor Schubert, gifted with a voice of thunder, and a special aptitude for itinerant preaching and educational work. These two worthies are well supported by the younger generation of ministers, most of whom studied in Edinburgh, the best known of whom are Kaspar, Dusék, Karafiat, and Cisar.
