And we would fain hope that you, dear friends, will be glad to hear us once more repeating to you one word — the word Progress. Yes, notwithstanding ever-increasing difficulties and the imperfection of our work, it has pleased the Lord to vouchsafe both to you and to us the great joy of gathering in some sheaves to his storehouse. We have had 834 catechumens under instruction. These are, for the most part, men and women of all ages, often people with grey hair, and these by no means the least in- teresting — quite the contrary. Five liiindred and ninety-five have been received, who would have increased our membership by that amount had it not been for the losses necessarily caused by deaths and removals. One hundred and seven have left the visible Church for the invisible ; and, so far as it is possible for man to judge, these are so many friends that you have made to welcome you to the everlasting habitations (Luke XVI, 9). 4 Three hundred and forty-eight luive left, whether for abroad or for towns in Italy where we have no churches; and twenty- tive have been « cut off » in the exercise of Scriptural discipline. Seven hundred and five catechumens are already enrolled on our lists; and if matters go on as in former years, which we have reastjn to expect, we will have nearly a thousand persons in our Rible classes, learning to trust, love and serve God. Ask Him to give us grace to discharge this duty, which is at once so delightful and so difficult, in such a way as to secui-e his approval. Rut it is not to speculate about the future that we write this Report, but to inform you of what we have been doing, as you have a right to know. And as we have i)egnn with statistics, we will complete this part of the Report by adding the following: — An average of 7500 persons (in round numbers) have attended our Lord's Day services. These we count our regular hearers. From sixty to sixty-five thousand others we class as occasional worshippers; but among these we do not reckon the thousands of people to whom our pastors, evangelists, and colporteurs have endea- voured to speak in behalf of the Truth, as they journey through the country. These figures we do not present to you in the spirit that moved David to number the people. God knows that we feel our own feebleness too deeply to entertain even the thought of glorying in such an enumeration as the above. Let all the glory — if glory there be — redound to Him from Whom cometh down every good and every perfect gift, without Whom we can do nothing. We have quoted these statistics merely to give you some idea of what is being done with your bounty, and to what extent God has heard your prayers. Besides, was it not under Divine direction that Luke mentions the number of those converted by Peter's sei-mon^ 5 Three thousand three Iiiiiidred and thirty-two pupils have attended our day and evening schools, a hirger number than last year, although we have had to close certain schools, our means not permitting us, in most of the large towns, to compete with the municipal establishments. Three thousand, four hundred and thirty-four are in our Sunday Morning Schools, affor- ding the teachers and supeiintendents a tiehl which, if not virgin soil, yet contains fewer thorns and stones than that on which our preachers sow the good seed. Finally, seventy thousand five hundred and sixty- one francs (about £. 2820) have been contributed for the work of the Church, which amounts to a contribution of fourteen francs and thirty-eight centimes (say 12 shil- lings) a member. This is not an immense sum, we well know; but if the fact is kept in view that fifteen thou- sand and seventy three francs have been disbursed in relief of the poor, who naturally ought to be deducted from the list of contributors, it will be seen that the proportion of gifts per member is not so small. We neglect no opportunity, you may well believe, of insisting on the duty of contributing for the Church's needs and for the advancement of God's Kingdom ; and we do not hesitate to ask our members even to make sacrifices, and not content themselves with giving a little of their superfluity. We have never said to our brethren, « It is enough, bring no more offerings »; but to you, dear friends, we must say that, considering the deplorable financial condi- tion of Italy, the contributions of the members of our Mission Churches will compare favourably with those of other Christians. Two years ago we asked you to accompany us on a tour of inspection round the churches and stations of the five districts into which our field of labour is divided. This year we propose to follow a different plan, with a special end in view. We might easily cull from the 6 letters of our workers many illustrations of the faith and perseverance of our converts, which would prove that for them the change has been a radical one, a true conversion; but this would require both time and space, which we would fain utilise in another way. Thus— Our work is daily acquiring larger dimensions, and, our own resources not increasing in proportion, we are obliged to look to our friends in other Churches for the increased support necessary to preserve the balance between our income and our expenses. But instead of an increase, we are obliged to report a diminution, of which our deticit, last July, of twelve thousand two hundred and seventy-eight francs is, alas! only too manifest proof. How has this decrease come about? The friends who have helped us, from the very first, by their prayers and gifts have remained true, but their number has sensibly diminished, and those who have changed this world for a better have not always been replaced by others. The secretaries of our committees in London, Edinburgh and elsewhere agree in reporting that the raising of funds becomes yearly more difficult. Now, why is this? Is there less faith, less zeal, less religious life? We would not venture to answer such a grave question; we prefer to deal with one cause which admits of no doubt, and which we desire, as far as possible, to remove. It is believed by a good many people that to evangelise anion^- Roman Catholics is a work of supererog-ation, not to say quite needless. And it is not « High Churchmen » who think so. A doctor of theology, member of a Presby- terian church, said to one of us who was endeavouring to interest him in our work: « Frankly, I have no great sympathy with a work which consists in transforming good Catholics into bad Protestants. » You will surely grant, dear friends, that it is sufficiently discouraging to be judged in such a way as this after so many years 7 of work. A Presbyterian, a D.D., professing to believe that the Waldensian Church employs the elite of her chililren in transforming good Catholics into bad Pro- testants! It is too much! No; a thousand times no! The object we have in view is very different. Let it be understood once for all that the Romish Church is not known for what it truly is. And our Church is carrying on the work begun by our fathers, the work of testifying the truth as it is in Jesus, in the face of a system which conceals this truth from the people; of announcing the good news to those who are ignorant of it; and of bearing to our fellow-citizens the only means of escape from that condition of moral abjectness and slavery which lays one man at the feet of another. But we may be charged with partiality. It may be said that the martyr-blood which flows in our veins prevents our being just toward the Church which but- chered our fathers in thousands. Well, let the members of this Church speak for themselves. Let us hear Pro- fessor Wilhelm Bunkoffer explaining the motives which forced him to abandon Romanism: — « During the cruel struggle which lasted for long years, I came to understand that, to accept the Romish Church as it is to-day, one must part company completely with the New Testament, and with the ecclesiastical history of the early centuries. The Romish Church, penetrated by the spirit of Vaticanism, silences more and more in the pulpit the voice of Christ. ... In its public acts of devotion the cerimonial so entirely destroys the spi- ritual essence that, for example, the Indulgence granted to devotees of the Via Cruets [Way of the Cross] is refused if, on kneeling down and rising again, they fail to observe certain prescribed rites! These very Indul- gences have assumed frightful proportions for a cultivated Catholic who, believing in God, the Father and Creator 8 of tlie universe, and in Jesus Clii'ist the Redeemer, observes this degradation of the doctrines of grace. . . . The great sin of 1870 bears in itself its own just punish- ment, which will yet destroy the Church. Absoluiism engenders slavery, infallibility begets falsehood. . . . The fixed idea of the Vatican is that it is impossible to quit the Romish Church otherwise than by committing sin — a false idea, which springs from another no less false, that the Holy Spirit is the exclusive monopoly of the Papal Church. As for me, I declare before God that the step which I have just taken in quitting it is the result of a struggle equally long and painful. It has been said that I took this step with the view of getting married. It is false. Rut I atHrm with indignation this fact, that the basest moral degradation does not separate the most in- famous of the priests from their Church, while the purest and most conscientious marriage renders priesthood im- possible in the eyes of one's superiors. » And Bishop Hefele says: « 1 lived for many years in a complete delusion. I thought I was seiving the Catholic Church when I was serving only the caricature which Jesuitism has made of it. It was in Rome itself 1 learnt that there it matters only about the name of Christianity; the substance is lost, it remains only in appearance. » Yes, dear friends, Bishop Hefele is right. The « substance of Christianity » has disappeared in Romanism as it is to-day, and hence we believe it to be the duty of every sincere disciple of Christ to labour for its return. Quota- tions like the above might be multiplied by the hundred, but are these not enough of themselves to demonstrate the necessity for the work we are carrying on? Things have come t<) such a pass that even the Roman Catholics of Italy, who, unfortunately, interest themselves but little in religion, are b.'ginning to draw the contrast between what is and what ought to be the Church in its most highly-placed representatives. The Rassegna 9 Seitimanale (Wpekhi Revimo) (^f the 10th October has this paragraph, which deserve.^ attention; « The great majority of the Lombard clergy are at heart Italian and patriotic; but since Cardinal Ferrari is an irrecon- cileable, more suited to be a tribune than a pastor of souls, all the well-disposed clergy must bow the head; and woe to hini who would dare to show that he does not approve of the extravagant action of his chief — action which not only has nothing to do with religion, but is quite contrary to its whole spirit. » Such utterances are beginning to be heard in various quarters: let us listen to one more. The Gazzetta del Popolo of Bari, in its issue of 13th October 1897, speaking of the so-called religious fetes with which the Romish Church thinks to satisfy the religious needs of its members, exclaims: « Here we are these three weeks past in the midst of noisy fetes. First we had the ' Ad- dolorata ' (Our Lady of Sorrows); then the holy Saints Medici; last Sunday the Rosary of St Francis; and next Sunday we shall have that of St Dominic. Each lasts four days, and each confraternity seeks to outvie the others in pomp and cost. . . . This relic of paganism begins to disgust people of good sense, and one might well wish that Rudini would put a curb on this folly and turn the money to purposes more useful to the people and more accordant with modern civilisation. » Our friends may accept our assurance that our aim is not to change the external form of worship merely, or to make war against the Romish hierarchy. What signify to us popes, cardinals, and all the papal displays? We never speak of these matters. If the Roman Church only became Christian, while preserving these things, we would not lift up our little finger against it. Rut, alas! superstition is apparently increasing every year, while the knowledge of the God of the Gospel is ever becoming less. The pretended miracles of the sixteenth 10 centurj' are nothing in comparison with those which from time to time are pahned off on the credulous inhabitants of the Peninsula. The Trilmna of Rome (October 10th, 1897) relates the following: « Yesterday the populalion of Giu- lianova crowded into the church of St Anthony, crying out: ' A miracle! ' In a niche of that church an image of Mary of Sorrows held on its knees a sheet, on which was placed Christ's dead body. Yesterday morning sposts as of blood were observed on the sheet. Whence could they have come but from the right side of the body? So the crowd declared again and again. The gendarmes interfered, and to prevent the bigots from crushing each other to death the niche was sealed up. And yet we are at the end of the nineteenth century! It is incredible! » The Bible is still the book which of all others the Church forbids to the people, notwithstanding all the attempts that have been made to deny this and to impose on the Christians of Britain and America. The Italian Bible Society has printed an edition of the Martini version (Archbishop of Florence), so as to be able to offer it to those who would have nothing to do with the translation of Diodati. But as soon as the priests found this out they ])rohibited the former also. One word of a colporteur, only a few days ago, speaks volumes on this sul)ject: « A priest in Mottola, Signor Quero, Professor in the seminary of C, was sitting on the coach beside me. Finding that the book I had in my hand was a New Te- stament, he exclaimed: ' Where are you carrying that infernal machine? ' » The Romish Church has made no change for tlie better in its doctrines as seen in the light of Scri])ture; has it changed in respect to its sentiments regarding those whom it calls heretics? We answer No. It plays at a Republic in France and at Lihorty in the United States : but where it believes itself strong enough it remains the same as ever, and the stake would be rekindled wherever 11 it had the power. We could cite many facts in proof of this. One or two of the most recent may suffice. Last July several hundred persons were grouped around a priest, who harangued them from a chair. What did he say, this minister of Christ, to the audience hanging on his lips? Did he call them to repentance, to faith, to the Saviour? No; he discoursed about the Protestants, on whom he heaped all the injurious epithets and the most atrocious calumnies his vocabulary contained, and this in order to stir up this poor ignorant people against the one single evangelical family in the town — that of the colporteur. And when he thought he had suffi- ciently roused their fanaticism, he shouted out the word « Ammazziamoli » — kill them, exterminate them! And the infatuaded people, echoing the cry, rushed to the house, where they found only the mother and her two daughters. Having received notice from a kindly soul, they had time to barricade the doors and windows. Otherwise their blood would have been shed. Whilst stones were being showered against the building, a friend ran and told one of the colporteur's brothers, who was at work in the neigh})Ourhood. He at once applied for help to the chief of the police, but that worthy (a creature of the priests) took out his watch, looked at it, and said: « Office hours are over; come tomorrow! » The young man then in despair hurried to the marshal of the gendarmes, who happily for the honour of Italy, proved himself to be a man with a heart. Accompanied by two soldiers, he ran to be besieged house and succeeded in calming the fury of the multitude. He also arrested the priestly author of the disturbance, and brought him to the police office. As we write these lines the legal process against him is going on. This occurred at Ragusa, a Sicilian town of some 40,000 inhabitants. One instance more. On the 29th October the evangehst Z. was in the cemetery of Gioia del Colle, conducting 12 the funeral of a woman. A good many people stood around, curious to hear the reading of God's word. Sud- denly a violent blow on the neck of the evangelist nearly felled him to the ground, another on the side took away his breath, and a third almost knocked the Bible out of his hand, that it might be torn in pieces. Here again it was the priests who had incited some of the people to commit the assault, and the case is now being investigated by the authorities. Europe was last year deeply and justly stirred by the massacre of missio- naries in China. If it has not been shocked by similar massacres in Italy it is owing to Divine protection and to the laws of the land, which are as liberal and tolerant towards all religions as they could possibly be. Permit us to give the following extract from the letter of one of our brethren, describing what he had to suffer when he was almost the only Protestant in his native town. «Troo[)s of children, led by my own brothers, chased me with stones through the streets to the office in which I was employed ; my fellow-clerks heaped insults upon me; and when I fell down utterly exhausted (for I often did not taste food for twenty-four hours) they beat me rudely, crying: ' Get to work, then, you excommunicated fellow, and don't play the fool! ' . . . My familj^ burnt my bed and books, and banished me from the house. Many a night I had to pass in the open air, without food, and shivering with cold. And yet the Lord sustained mo so marvellously that amidst my sufferings I had secret joy and infinite sweetness of comfort. » Half of that family are now evangelical, and persecution has ceased. It is but just to say that such barbarities could not take place in the north of Italy, but j)riestly ojjposition to the work of evangelisation is none the less strong, though it employs other measures. For example, the inexorable dilemma too often impales on its terrible horns every one who is dependent on another for food for himself 13 and his family, — « Forsake the evanp^elical meetings or starve! » Space does not allow us to enter into fuller details to prove our case, which we therefore condense into these few words. Italy needs to be evangelised to-day as much as in the apostolic age, because: (1) God's word is forbidden to the people; (2) the God who « so loved the world » is as unknown as «the unknown God» was to the Athenians. The God who is still believed in is one who is but an object of dread ; (3) Jesus Christ is either the « bambino » — the baby in his mother's arms — or a crucitix. Jesus Christ, who said: « Come unto me, all ye who labour and are heavy laden, » is quite unknown; (4) the grossest and most degrading superstition tends to become more and more the sole religion of the masses, while scepticism and materialism dominate those who think, or think they think; (5) it is hopeless to expect any remedy for this from the Church which has produced it; (6) the Gospel alone can provide it. Will not Christians who love their Saviour feel im- pelled to do something for a nation which has been stretching out its arms toward them these thirty years? Can men of any feeling behold a nation going to moral ruin without showing their sympathy by more than words? We would even address ourselves to those of the most liberal dogmatic views, who regard the Roman Church as a beloved sister in the Christian family; and we would say to them : The Romanist is your brother, is he not? Well, then, would you do nothing for your brother? If you saw a poor man, who was dying of thirst, trying to quench it with muddy water, would you not offer him a glass of pure water? Certainly you would. Evon so, lend a helping hand to this Italian Roman 14 Catholic brother, whose spiritual hunger and thirst are cruelly mocked; do something for one who vainly seeks at the feet of his fellow-man the i)eace which God alone can give! « The nation is not ready for it, » you sa}''. No, it is not, as nation: what nation ever was? But, as we have already said at the outset, a much larger number of souls than is generally believed are well disposed, and this number increases daily. If a miracle of Divine grace would but remove the prejudices with which calumny has tilled the })eople's hearts and minds, men and women would be seen by the thousand pressing around the Word of God. During the course of the year our Evangelists have had many opportunities of verifying the fact that the Gospel is heard with pleasure by a great number of persons, up till the moment when some one hints that this Gospel is not the true one, and that whoever reads or listens to it is in danger of excommunication. Not long since an Italian general, who had in his service a Waldensian maid, saw in her hands a copy of the « Silent Comforter » a selection of Bible passages, printed on large sheets in big type. Being confined to bed for several weeks, he had this hung up on the wall where he could easily read it. Again, an old priest, who lets part of his house to a colporteur, occasionally attends family worship, and is moved to tears while the hymns are being sung. We might give other similar cases; but let us quote an extract from the letter of one of our pastors, dated 11th November 1897: « Summoned by telegram to Syracuse, where one of our church mem- bers had just died, I found tiie death-chamber too small to hold the friends who had come together. I had the coffin brought down to the courtyard, where I was quickly surrounded by about 400 people, the windows of the neighbours being also filled with listeners. A profound silence fell upon them when 1 began to pray, and then to speak about Christ and the Christian hope, 15 with all the energy that it pleas^ed the Lord to grant me. At the close, \yarni shakes of the hand and hearty words from many of the audience proved to me once more that prejudice disappears when brought into contact with the truth. » The final evidence that God's blessing rests on the work he has entrusted to our feeble hands we will give from no less an authority than a Roman Catholic canon, G. C. C, who raises a veritable cry of alarm in the Camj)ana del Maitino of the 5th November. We translate literally: « At Riesi we are on the eve of a great religious catastrophe; only a few years and Catholicism here will be but a memory, an echo lost in the ' Vivas ' of Protestantism, which daily gains ground, and will end by overwhelming us. Yes, Prote- stantism will finish by tearing down our flag and burying us in the tomb of a shameful oblivion. More than 700 children attend the Waldensian schools, and more tlian 20 young women are studying under the Committee of the same name, in order to obtain a certificate of com- petency to teach heresy. Soon they will open a church, and they even speak of founding a Waldensian hospital... We have good cause to weep and shudder, with horror ! » After this introduction, the worthy canon proceeds to bring a charge against Protestantism, from which we beg our readers' leave to make one extract: « Prote- stantism is not a religion, and never can be, since it is diametrically opposed to the Gospel and its Divine precepts. But no one can deny that it is a powerful weapon in the hands of Freemasonry for the un-Ca- tholicising of Italy, and drawing our people into the fetid pit of Babylon. And it is also true that without money Protestantism would never be able to make any impression, even on the ranks of outcasts and libertines! » This may suffice as a specimen of the prose of the best suppoi-ters of the Vatican. 16 We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the aid you have generously given us during these many years. Permit us still to count on your help in the future. Many noble and holy causes appeal to your beneticence, and we would not be so selfish as to demand all for ourselves. But since God so clearly means that His kingdom should come in Italy also, allow us to ask once more for your co-operation in giving effect to His will. Speak to your friends and acquaintances, and to every one whose heart beats true to tlie Master. Ah, if the Evangelical Church would only meet the so-called Peter's pence with the pence of Paul, the battle would assume very different proportions, and the Riesi canon's cry of alarm would soon find more than one echo among his brethren.
