“The Waldenses”

The Waldensian church is the “burning bush” of Christendom. The history of that people presents to us little less than a series of ferocious persecutions, endured with the most heroic constancy.
Planted in the valleys of Piedmont, almost within the shadow of the papal throne, their Scriptural faith and order have been a perpetual and most significant protest against the corruptions of that colossal hierarchy. They rejected its monstrous dogmas and superstitious mummeries, which Rome has baptized with the sacred name of Christianity, and steadfastly adhered to the Bible as the only rule of faith and practise. Again and again did the Roman priests and princes decree their extirpation, and send forth armies to carry havoc and carnage through all the mountain fastnesses.
It is something for a Christian to be able to point to a church which for centuries exemplified the power of the gospel to sustain individuals and communities in scenes of the deepest suffering.
This book, of nearly four hundred pages, gives the most thrilling recital of the experiences of the Waldensian church. Price, 75 cents. Address Review and Herald Publishing Association.
