N 6 V was I less affected with the kind-heartedness of one of his rustic parShidners . While M . Vingon was preparing his sertnon , which the Vaudbis pastors alw % s commit to memory , I took a stroll along the mountain side utitil I came to a place where there was no track in the snow to enable me to proceed any further , and stopped a few minutes at the door of a solitary house , the owner of which , an old man , took my visit to be intended expressly for himself . The tears came into his eyes as he spoke : " He was
rejoiced to see a stranger from England , because they were the brethren of the Vaudois , who did them good . He was sorry he had nothing but potatoes to offer nle , but he would dress me some immediately . " I offered him some ^ tsone ^ , tort he declined it in so decided a manner , that I was unwitli&g W wound his feelings by repeating the offer . ^ 'O ^ S uSdaycM . Vitigdn ' s church was well rilled , and as he passed to the pujpir ^ he whole congregation who were al ready seated , and not standing at the doora&at Ea Tsar , bowed to him , some rising a little from their benches , and # hfer $ notvfeut each awaiting the moment of his passing nearest to tfieir part of ^^ liifipch . ' The text was from Luke x . 41 , 42 , " Thou art troubled about
man ^ 4 h * i ^ s ^ % ut' ( m « thing is needful . " The preacher began by observing , that the grand design with which the " word of God became flesh and dwelt amongst us , " wasi that he might set us an example of every virtde which he recommended . riThe application he made of his text was , that Christians , in trie present day , were troubled about many things , some eagerly maintaining 3 one ; $ set { of notions arid some another , each party uncharitably condemning vitoofcher / , ' and all wasting their time in unprofitable debates ; Whereas owe fckii % . | fas > taeedful , to obey the commands and copy the life of our ^ Master .
In concluding his discourse , in speaking of Christ , he said , "ToUuhdm , Until tM Father ^ dud the Holy Spirit , be all honour . Amen . " This was the ow / y ' dccafeioa on which I heard any orthodox form of words empidyed' By the ¦ Vkudois pastors . He assured me , in conversation , that he considered the Faifter » to be the only object of worship to Christians , agreeably to what I heard from other ministers . —Being apprehensive that any additional fell of
snow might render my way impassable , and wishing to sleep at th ^ foot of the mountain on the other side , where I was to enter on the Valley of San Mai * ino X took my le&ve in the afternoon .
