Ex Libris C. K. OGDEN FOUNDED 1799. THE RELI&IOUS TRACT SOCIETY. T^HE RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY tells of the Gospel of the Grace of God in 193 languages and dialects. It was founded in 1799 for the object of spreading the news of God's love at Home and in Foreign lands. It is supported by and aids Christians of all Evangelical Denomina- tions. Help is given to the Church Missionary Society ; London Mis- sionary Society ; Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts ; Baptist Missionary Society ; Wesleyan Missionary Society ; China Inland Mission ; the Presbyterian Missionary Societies ; Paris Evangelical Missions ; Gossner Missionary Society ; Basle Missionary Society ; American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ; Rhenish Missionary Society; and numerous others. Circulates between 80 and 90 millions of publications each year. Does not expend one shilling of its subscriptions or donations on man- agement or other expenses. Uses all its Missionary Funds for the object for which they are sub- scribed, but pays all its expenses out of Trade Funds. The ' Pilgrim's Progress ' has been issued in 82 languages, in many of which the Society has assisted or borne the cost of the publication. Has published its New Testament Commentary in ten languages Chinese, Arabic, Syriac, Mahrati, Bengali, Tamil, Canarese, Urdu, Singhalese, and Karen. Distributes packets of healthy interesting literature to almost all the Emigrant families leaving the ports of the United Kingdom. Provides for a very large distribution of Books and Tracts for sailors of all nationalities. Has issued more than 42,000 libraries, varying from 25 to 500 volumes, either at very reduced rates, or in the case of very poor districts free. Grants Tracts for distribution at greatly reduced prices, and in many cases free. Helps air the great Missionary Societies in their work of providing Gospel literature in their fields of work, but is able to do only a tithe of what is needed through want of funds. Maintains in all its publications a testimony to Evangelical truth. So far from the Committee being able to meet the growing needs of the work, they are constantly compelled to refuse grants in aid of much- needed extension. A subscription of los. 6d. or upwards constitutes membership in the Society ; a sum of ^"10 los. constitutes life-membership. All subscribers receive copies of the new Tracts, the Tract Magazine and other small publications; in this way alone 11,000 Tract-distributors are helped.

It aids the Evangelical Societies of France and Belgium ; the Home Mission Work of the Free Churches of France and Italy, also an Evangelistic Mission in Sicily. In Spain and Bohemia it has stations of its own, under efficient local super- intendence. During the past year it expended 2,127 in the promotion of Evangelistic work, while it served as a channel through which nearly 2OO was conveyed to various Societies.

LONDON : ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER ROW, E.G. 1889. PREFACE. A FOURTH edition of this Handbook is offered to the travelling public in the assurance that it meets a felt want. Considerable alterations have been made, with a view to render it more useful. And while believing that, if the list of abbreviations on page xii. is carefully noted, the book will explain itself, the Editor would bespeak attention for the Introduction, in which the object of the book is stated, and the nesv features of this edition are explained.

THE chief aim of this Handbook is to direct atten- tion to Evangelistic and other operations on the Conti- nent, and to facilitate a visit to some of them. In the case of France, several short tours have been sketched out. Before undertaking any of these, it would be well to obtain still more precise information respecting hours of meeting, etc., from the secretaries of the societies to which the stations belong, or from a pastor living in the town which forms the starting-point. All such applica- tions may be made in English. Any attempt to present precise information would probably be misleading, owing to the frequent changes incident to such work. II. English services are indicated, and the towns in which they are held are printed in heavier type, so as to strike the eye. In regard to the permanent chaplaincies, the name of the minister is given in most cases, and the address of the church and the hours of service. For the summer chaplaincies only the place is given as a rule, the traveller being referred for other information to the announcements now to be found in all the principal hotels. III. For travellers desirous of visiting scenes rendered memorable by events in Protestant history, several tours are sketched out. This is a tentative effort which in X INTRODUCTION. future editions may be extended, should it meet with general approval. IV. In regard to Germany, a general view of Protestant Inner Mission Agencies is given ; also a list of the chief Protestant universities, with the names of a few of the principal professors. The chapter on ' Wiirtemberg,' the details of which were kindly given by friends on the spot, will, it is hoped, interest some. V. At the great General Missionary Conference of last year it was felt desirable to omit all details of missions to Roman Catholics, and of the societies in England and America that either have missions of their own in Europe or that help the societies established in the various countries. This deficiency is in some measure supplied by the information given here. As this Handbook was started by, and is still published largely at the expense of, the Evangelical Continental Society, we begin with a reference to its operations. By grants made to French, Belgian, and Italian Evangelical Societies, and by securing the services of faithful men, placed under due supervision in Spain and Bohemia, it has rendered great help for more than forty years. It was established, and is still conducted, on undenominational principles. The Foreign Aid Society, a few years older than the Evangelical Continental Society, is carried on on similar principles. Its supporters are mainly found in the Church of England. VI. Sunday Schools are to be found in most towns where active religious life exists, and a visit to the various churches will enable the traveller to ascertain the hour when the children assemble, if the same is not indicated in the following pages. But if any persons are desirous of getting fuller information, they may do so by applying to the gentlemen whose names will be found in the list that appears at the end of this Handbook.

On the railway from Paris to Tergnier (route Reims) is Noyon, Calvin's birthplace (1509) house gone. The Baptist minister at Chauny has recently begun to preach here. Further on is St. Quentin, where, in 1557, Philip II. of Spain, aided by 'bloody Mary,' his wife, fought against the French under Coligny and Anne de Montmorency, and defeated them. Philip had vowed that if successful he would erect a monastery in honour of his patron, St. Lawrence, who was done to death on a gridiron. Hence the Escorial Convent in Spain, laid out as a gridiron. Still in this region on the railway from Paris to Cambrai is Roisel station. Not far off, in the Valley of Hesbe'court, is the Boite a Cailloux, where, after the Revocation, and almost up to 1789, the pastors of the Desert preached among others, Givry, during whose brief ministry in that region seven churches were formed. In three or four hours from Reims, Sedan is reached, the place of Napoleon's defeat in 1870, but also a spot famous in the history of the Reformation as the seat of a Theological Faculty, where the controversialist Pierre du Moulin taught, and where the pious Drelincourt and the historian Basnage studied. II. At Dieppe the Reformation found an entrance FRANCE. 21 through a Genevese colporteur, Venable, and John Knox was for a time pastor of the church, which subsequently became so numerous that the members boldly seized the principal church, St. Jacques, and worshipped in it for a whole year. In 1562, only some twelve months after the Collogue de Poissy, Rouen, then held by the Protestants, aided by 500 English, was besieged, and after eleven days fell into the hands of the brutal soldiery of Charles IX. At the present day there are some 2,100 Protestants in and around the city. Taking train in the direction of Chartres, we come to Buell, ten miles from which is the battle-field of Ivry, where, as Macaulay tells us in his lay, Henri IV. gained so signal a victory over the League in 1590. At Dreux, the next station, the Due de Guise routed the Huguenots and took the Prince de Cond< prisoner. Above the town are the remains of a castle, which Henri IV. took from the Due de Guise. Also a chapel, which Louis Philippe built as a burial-place for himself and family. One of the finest sculptures is the work of his daughter. In the magnificent cathedral at Chartres Henri IV. was crowned in 1594. Passing thence by rail through the plain of La Beauce in the direction of Brest, we reach Brittany, the eastern part of which was once a stronghold of Protestantism. It was D'Andelot, brother of Admiral Coligny, who intro- duced Protestantism into Brittany. Taking two preachers with him from Paris they proclaimed the new doctrine at Angers and Nantes. One of their hearers was Francois de la Noue, who became one of the chief promoters of Breton Protestantism. From Nantes they passed to Blain, where Isabeau de Navarre, the dowager of Rohan received them as ' angels of the Lord.' Thenceforward for many years the Chateau of Blain was the great Protestant centre, and when Protestantism had been put down in Nantes it was at Blain that the persecuted found a place 22 FRANCE. of refuge. Henri de Rohan, the great Protestant chief, was born at Blain, as also was his distinguished daughter, Anne de Rohan. The chateau was founded in 1108, and was rebuilt. Two of the towers date from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The greater part of the build- ing is in the Renaissance style. It is reached by the rail from Le Mans towards St. Nazaire (Nantes). III. On the rail way from Paris to Rouen, and seventeen miles from Paris, is Poissy, the birthplace of St. Louis, and also the town where the memorable but ineffectual conference took place between Romanists and Protestants, shortly after the consecration of Charles IX. at Reims. Theodore de Beze, assisted by Peter Martyr Vermiglio and others, represented the Protestants at the confer- ence. IV. Visitors to the Cathedral of Bourges (railway from Orleans) should remember that Calvin studied law at Bourges, and received his first evangelical im- pressions there. The neighbouring village of Asnieres may be called the cradle of French Protestantism. Between there and Bourges is a bridge still called Calvin's Bridge. By railway from Bourges to Nevers, and then rail back towards Paris, Chatillpn-sur-Loire is reached. The Re- formed Church here (Past. Roth) is one of the oldest in France. Chatillon-sur-Loing, further on, near Nogent- sur-Vernis, was the residence of Admiral Coligny. V. On the railway from Paris to Strasbourg is the station of Blesme, where a line branches off and traverses the Department of the Haute Marne. In this region Protestantism once prevailed, especially in the town of Vassy, where so many were massacred by the Due de Guise in 1562. They were attacked when worshipping in a barn. This building is still in existence, and has been purchased for conversion into a chapel. For many years the Wesleyan Church laboured in this district, but their stations have been handed over to the Reformed Church. The Joinville Chateau, ' the cradle FRANCE. 23 of the Dues de Guise,' was not far from Vassy, but was pulled down in 1790. VI. The banks of the Loire. Huguenot memories attach to the principal towns. Orleans once the stronghold of Protestantism famous for its siege, where Francis, Duke of Guise, was assassinated. This siege ended the first War of Religion. Joan of Arc's name will ever be associated with Orleans. Blois. In the wonderful Chateau the Duke of Guise was killed. Amboise. Noted for the so-called conspiracy, when 1,200 perished, the principal victims being executed as an after-dinner spectacle for the benefit of Catherine de Mddicis, Mary Queen of Scots, and her courtiers. Tours. Near Tours is the colony of Mettray, the well- known Reformatory. Saumur. Here, for nearly four months, the repre- sentatives of the Protestants (from fifteen provinces) met under the presidency of Duplessis Mornay, trying to secure their rights. Here, too, was the famous Protestant Academy (founded in 1617), the teaching at which was a sort of transition from Calvinism to Arminianism. Moi'se Amyraut was one of its ablest professors. Students flocked hither from England, Scotland and Germany. Under Duplessis Mornay, who was appointed governor, the town became an important one of 25,000 inhabitants ; but at the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes the Huguenots were driven away, and only about 6,000 people remained. Angers. The Reformed Church building dates from the twelfth century. Nantes. Memorable for the Edict which gave a certain amount of freedom to the Protestants, and the Revocation of which well-nigh ruined France. VII. From Tours, Poitiers is reached by rail in two or three hours. It was between Poitiers and Tours that Chas. Martel defeated the Saracenic host in 732, and thus stayed the great Mahometan invasion. At Poitiers, Calvin laboured in the early part of his career. Near the town 24 FRANCE. is the cave of St, Benoit, called Calvin's Grotto, where Calvin opened his mind fully to a number of thoughtful, cultured men, and then asked them to join him in prayer. According to Florimel de Reymond, he prayed with much vehemence. The old provinces of the Poitou and the Saintonge were greatly stirred by the Reformation movement. It is recorded that thirty-three temples in the Poitou were destroyed by Louis XIV., in 1665. At the present day, Protestantism is largely represented there, and is begin- ning to show some signs of life. By rail from Poitiers to Loudun (first Protestant Synod held here in 1555) and Chantonnay, and from thence by diligence (7^ miles) Mouchamp is reached. Just north of this, on the confines of a vast forest, are the remains of the Chateau de Parc-Soubise, where the famous Catherine de Parthenay spent her youth. She married Viscount Rene de Rohan, at La Rochelle, in 1575, and was the mother of Anne de Rohan, born at Blain in 1584. (See Derniers Recits du \6rne Siecle, par Jules Bonnet.) From Poitiers direct by rail to La Rochelle, once the great Protestant stronghold, the siege of which is the most thrilling story in French Protestant history. It began in 1627, and lasted more than a year, the English three times making a show of coming to the help of the starving people, but eventually failing to do so. Before this, in 1568, Cond^, Coligny, and D'Andelot took refuge here, and were joined by Jeanne d'Albret, Queen of Navarre, and by the chief Huguenot leaders from Nor- mandy, Maine, and Anjou. Then began the third War of Religion. A Protestant church was first formed in 1558. For some years Protestants and Catholics lived on good terms, and used the churches of St. Sauveur and St. Barthe'lemy in common. Here the Synod was held under the presidency of Theod. de Beze, at which the confession of faith and discipline was revised and adopted as the symbol of the Reformed Church of France. FRANCE. 25 VIII. Beam, the present department of the Basses Pyrenees, is full of Protestant memories. Marguerite de Valois, mother of Jeanne d'Albret, took refuge here. Under Jeanne's influence Beam became a most moral province. Schools and hospitals were established, and a new code of laws framed. She was the noble mother of Henri IV., who proved himself an unworthy son. The ruins of Jeanne's chateau are still to be seen at Bellocq, near Puyoo, on line from Dax to Pau. At Bayonne, Catherine de Mddicis had a conference with the Duke of Alva, in 1565 ; and together they agreed, it is said, on the massacre of St. Bartholomew. Orthez, also on line from Dax to Pau. The church here was the most important of those in Bdarn in the early days of Protestantism. Jeanne d'Albret founded a Protestant Academy here in 1566. It was destroyed in 1620. At that period the church had four pastors, three of whom were also professors at the Academy. There were then thirty Protestant temples in that district. From 1822 to 1830 a remarkable revival took place in Be*arn, in connection with the labours of Henri Pyt, agent of the Continental Society of London. At present there is a Reformed Church at Orthez, and also a Free Church. IX. The Ce"vennes. This mountainous region still mainly Protestant abounds in historic memories. Here the Camisards fought for their liberties, but in vain. The traveller who is determined to penetrate into it must not expect to find hotels or even decent inns. Head- quarters may be taken up at Anduze, just outside the great natural gate by which the region is entered on that side. Anduze is reached by rail from Nimes. In a barn at Bagard, Cavalier held his first meeting and formed his band of Camisards. St. Jean du Card is the chief town of this part of the Cdvennes (Reformed Church, Pasteur Meinadier ; Free Church, Pasteur Guibal), and not far distant is Mialet (Reformed Church, Pasteur Chasland) the country of the two Camisard chiefs, the Laportes. Close by is Massoubeyran, birthplace of Roland Laporte, 26 BELGIUM. whose hiding-place beneath the kitchen-floor in an old house is still to be seen ; also his Bible and hallebardes . Near by are caves which served as arsenals. X. Nimes is rich in Protestant associations as well as Roman remains. The Grand Temple was hired in 1792, and after 106 years' cessation, Protestant worship was recommenced, the Patriarch of the Desert, Paul Rabaut, offering the dedicatory prayer. At the Orphe- ltnat(ior information ask Pasteur Dardier, i, Rue Trajan) is Pasteur Rabaut's tomb. In a corner of the Protestant cemetery is a small building used as a vestry by the pastors of the Desert when they preached at the Ermitage. A deeply interesting excursion from Nimes by rail to Aiguesmortes. Train passes through 'the little Canaan' as it was called, because so largely a Protestant district in former days. Aiguesmortes is a town fortified by St. Louis, after the manner of Jerusalem, and the fortifications are all perfect. Just outside the walls is the Tower of Constance, where Huguenot prisoners notably Marie Durand were held captive for long years. BELGIUM. Population in 1887, 5,974,743. There are eleven Reformed Churches in Belgium sup- ported by the State, viz., Antwerp, Brussels (2), Dour, Ghent, Liege, Maria-Hoorebeek, Paturages, Seraing, Tournay, Verviers. The churches of Dour, Maria- Hoorebeek, and Rongy-Tournay date from the time of the Reformation. The Reformed Church has an Evangelization Com- mittee which supports stations at Cuesme, Douvrain, La Louviere, Leuze, Malines, Roulers, and Wasme. Christian Missionary Church or Evangelical Society.

The form of religious life characteristic of Wiirtemberg and the means of maintaining Pietism is the Gebet- stunde, a fraternal gathering for reading of the Scrip- tures and mutual edification. It is reckoned that as many as 70,000 persons regularly attend these meetings. There is a Training School for Home Missionaries at Karlshohe, near Ludwigsburg. Dr. A. H. Werner's Infirmaries at Ludwigsburg, Jagstfeld, and Wildbad. The late G. Werner's Philanthropic Institutions at Reutlingen and other places.

SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING FEMALE EDUCATION IN THE EAST. THIS Society was formed in 1834, for the purpose of promoting education based upon the Holy Scriptures among Eastern Females of all ranks and classes, either in their own secluded homes or in missionary schools. Its sphere of operations includes China. Ultra Ganges, Burmah, India, Ceylon, Mauritius, Africa, the Levant, and Persia. Three hundred native Teachers have been trained in these schools, and are now working in them or in others. Zenana work is carried on by the Society's correspondents in various parts of India. More than 2,000 native ladies, many of them of rank and wealth, are thus receiving instruction. The Committee now find it necessary to bring forward their need of immediate and liberal help ; for while the fields are white unto the harvest, and opportunities of send- ing out labourers present themselves more frequently than at any previous time in the Society's history, and the work is steadily growing under the hands of the Committee, it is deeply to be lamented that the funds do not increase. Applications for Zenana and School Teachers are before the Committee, and they cannot send them forth ; and urgent appeals for grants of money and of School materials have also been received, to which they are unable to respond. Let it be borne in mind that the object of this Society is to lead all under its influence to the ' Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world ;' THAT IT WILL NOT GIVE EDUCATION WITHOU r THE BIBLE ; that it was the first to send forth Teachers for Hindu Zenanas (to Bombay in 1842), and for Turkish harems (to Egypt in 1836), and the earliest organized in England for the benefit of the females of China, India, Africa, and Syria (with one or two exceptions of limited sphere), and it will surely be allowed that it is no untried work on behalf of which the Committee so earnestly plead. The Lord has owned and blessed their humble efforts; are they to stand still because His people do not allow them the means for going forward ? Contributions will be gratefully received by the Treasurer, Sir WALTER R. FARQUHAR, Bart., 16, St. James Street, S.W. ; and by the Secretary, Miss WEBB, 267, Vauxhall Bridge Road, London, S.W. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL, Established 1803. Enfranchised 1857. ?J.ttrons : HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN and H.R.H. THE PRINCE OF WALES. THIS Institution clothes, maintains and educates nearly 250 Children of deceased or distressed Licensed Victuallers, at a cost of .7,500 per annum. From its commencement no fewer than 2,449 Children have been admitted, and many of them are now occupying good positions in life, entirely owing to the liberal education and careful training they have received within its walls. Qualified children are eligible for admission from 7 to 12 years of age ; and remain in the School until they attain the age of 15. The Elections generally take place in March every year, at the School House, Kennington Lane. Applications to place the names of Children on the List of Candi- dates being received until the 3151 December.
