Siecle describes the coeyersion to Pactestantiern of, a con-
siderable number of the inlts6itants of the. Vienne; and
praises the conduct ohservetl by the protestant clergymen,
in this circumstance It says: —"Some few yeari ago
there was net a single protestant is Neuville, the chief
town of the departtavnt of Vienne. ICI 1849 several in-
habitants asked p•rtnis:don of the mayor to invite a pro•
testant clergyman to-expound- to them his :loctrice3—not
the; they were pritestanee, but that they might decide on,
their futore ceaduct. The in Ivo-, like a prudent man,
advised the petitioners to r fleet well on their reqnest ; he
did not wish tb refuse them the practice of a right, ,but he
at The same time wished to avoid the reproach of heving
advised them to act, with rash has e. The ethics of the
mayor ;was f :Homed; two yea-s were passed ire reflection,
and 0.1851 a deput ti tee waited on the prote-eant clergymen
of Poi iers and invited him to visi their town ani ex-
pound to them the piecip'ee of the protestant faith. This •
invitation wai.acceptetl, an I the clergymen, accompanied
by a colleague, held two c mfereuees •in Neaville, at
whisk frein five to six hundred persons were present.
otter the see and conference, the ministers, far from seek-
ing to impose their faith on the in'eebitin's, declared that
they would not return again to the town without a formal
ittyltetion. A written appeal to them was speedily severed
with signatures, • and at ihe third sitting a formal pro-
testant service was rerforrnef. Nearly two hundred per-
sexes bad.fleely etnbrace:l the I-Jai-me:l faith We call the
attention of our readers to the character of the rrotestant
propaganda, which wo should b 3 happy to ere imitated in
every religiie.s propaganda. 'Tee clergymen of • Poitiers

risk of dia-e.rbing pubic order-' er of- troubling the
peace of famine's. ThAr dignified and measu e 1 lan-
guage did not certainly carry away the population to
the extent that might have been a ffected by a pas-
sionate appeal; - but •it produced serious end inte ligent
