PRoGREss OF THE GOSPEL IN FRANCE
The religious movement in France,
to which the attention Of Christians has
again and again been directed in the
country, is advancing with extraordinary
rapidity. Thousands of Roman Catho-
lies are calling with the utmost eager
ness for Protestant evangelists to come
and instruct them. There arc large dis
tricts of the country where a faithful
Protestant pastor is. received by almost
every individual with eagerness and de-
light. The influence Of the priests in
these departments: Is rapidly departing,
and the stroeghobds Of Popery are rapidly
falling down before the resistless might
of the word of God. The three depart
ments in which perhaps themost remark
able religious awakenings have taken
place, are those of La Charente Infer
.ieure, l. Y onne, and Haute Vienne and
all ofwhich are occupied By thejlaborers
of the Evangelical Society of France.
