1t is almost impossible in this Indifferent age
to realize their devotion. People who complain
of discourses more than twenty minutes Ions
are far from the standard of those prosecuted
peasants who gave up whole nights to religious
exercises and cheerfully submitted to death
and to punishments worse than death for the
sake OF their faith. One after another their
pastors were taken and broken on the wheel
but others took the places of the martyrs. Not
only were the meetings held in the open air. but
the first school in the restored Church was kept
by the side of a torrent underneath rock. Here
the young men were trained TO the duties OF the
ministry The curriculum was rather limited
The French Bible was the only textbook, ana
each student was bound to prepare his exercises

of scierce which, spread broadcast in various
