Sombtimi since it was announced that a
company of Waldenees had emigrated from
Southern Europe to Burke county la this
State. ? i4 While our contemporaries have geu-
erally remarked upon this movement as sig
nificantly complimentary to our State, we
have seen but little written concerning the
past history of these people, or their peculiar
religious beliefs and practices. This is not due
to a lack' of history on the subject, for we
find that they have a history that is at once
voluminous, worthy and interesting. The
Waldenses made their first appearance as a
sect ; of reformers in 1 160, and "were most
numerous in' the Swiss' canton of Yaud.
Their ' leader was one Peter Valdo, a rich
merchant, who being zealous for :f the ad
vancement of true piety and Christian knowl-
edge had employed a ' priest to translate
the gospels from Latin into French, in order
that he might read and interpret them as
they were. At once he perceived that the
religion which was then taught, by the Ro
man church differed In many most essential
Points from that which Chriat and the apos
tles had inculcated. Struck with the glaring
contradiction between the doctrines of the
Miffs and the truths of the gospels, he
abandoned his Vocation, distributed his
wealth among the poor, and became a pub
lic teacher, instructing his . people in the
true doctrines and precepts of Christianity
as he understood them. He was 'undoubt
edly sincere in ail his efforts, and through
Out the most vicrorons ODoosition and inhu
man cruelty of the Catholics maintained
with his followers a purity and simplicity of
religion, a spotless innocence of life, a noble
con tern pt of riches and ; honors, that not
only overcame the efforts of Rome, but in
creased the number of his followers daily,,
To-day tneir life is mucn the same as it was
in the days of Peter Valdo. ; They despise
ine j iorms or ecclesiastical government; as
practiced by icome. They hold that an
Christians have equal power-as ambassa
dors of God. and that preachers should pro
cure a subsistence ; by the swork of t their
hands. Their rules of life are founded on the
sermon on the mount, and It is said that
manyjof them live strictly according to these
rules Anciently they denied the obligation
of infant baptism, but at the present day they
are doubtful on that point, some rejecting
water baptism entirely. However that may
be, they compose a sect that is worthy of
our State, and which should be welcomed
for the noble history that they have main
tained through hundreds of years of the
cruelest persecution. ( y '
: Last Miy the President instructed the
Secretary of Treasury to break the gold re
serve of $100,000,000 to pay the obligations
of the government. It was the first time
such a course had been pursued since the
institution of the fund. Immediately the
newspapers began the cry that the United
States was financially unsound. : Firms be
gan to fail, the people began to hold on to
their earnings as they had never before. A
general' distrust, prevailed. Our nation
stood in daily expectancy of a general crash;
And the papers cried that the lessening of
the gold reserve was the cause of it alL To
day the fund has been restored several
weeks, and has a good surplus besides, and
Still the situation is not improved; The cry
of the newspapers, which their readen were
bo eager to believe, was false. The break -
of the gold reserve was a result and not
a cause of the present crisis, as was shown
when it was restored. The causes of the
present trouble might be traced to a hun
dred origins, apd ninety nine of them would
be wrong. Our papers should not be so
quick to form an opinion, and the people
should not be so eager to believe the papers;
for papers are but the representatives of ed
itors, who are mortal, and therefore imper
fect and liable to error. , He who ties him
self to one paper, and, forms his opinions ac
cording to its' editorials, shows a weak
mind, a lack of self reliance, and a tendency
to a slavery of thought and opinion, which,
if widely cultivated, would make America
a nation of demagogues, and her people no
better than the unwilling subjects of des
pots. It Is a far better policy to learn the
facts from reliable sources, and then form
your own opinions. .
The destructive wars that have infested
South America and hindered the progress of
her people during the last quarter of a cen
tury,' are striking testimony to the wisdom
of the maxim, " In union there is strength
and more than this, perhaps, an evidence
that a republican form of government is not
by any means conducive to prosperity; and
still more significant is the result of their
policy: of almost unlimited States rights.
For the past few years South America has
been a continent of petty republics; blest to
a large extent with an abundance of natural
resources the equal of our own. . Yet dur
ing these years it has been a continent of
incessant internal wars, of retrogressive,
rather than progressive tendencies. - It is
true that our "Southern sister "was not set-;
tied by a people.who equalled the English
and the French in industry or perseverance;
it is true that Rome has largely hindered her
Er ogress; but from the fact that otherwise
er settlers have enjoyed equal advantages,
and that her aborigines Were by far the su
periors of the North American Indians, we
should expect her republics to take a higher
stand among nations. Rome couldn't have
prevented the formation or destroyed the fu
ture crandeur of our government if she had
had the power at the beginning. Oar people
were possessed of that unity: of interest and
that hatred of despotism which insured our
future. v And in that lies the secret of. the
backwardness of the South American re
publics. They are all small, and Individ
ually have but little interest in one another;
Their States rebel on the least provocation.
They are always looking for new leader,
deposing one administration,' inaugurating
another in continual revolution in a vain
effort to secure a prosperity which is destroy
ed by these very movements. Were South
America divided into two great republics it
wonld not be many years before Rome
would be relegated ; to the background, re
bellion would cease, and a prosperity, born
of a unity of interest, smile on the land,
whose tteoDle are now torn asunder by war,
dismantled of their rights, and all but de
stroyed by their own folly.

Wear 'Recorder .'Suffer tna to write some
things about our " gospel mission at this
Stage or its development.!,: Dr, Harris' citr
cular letter published in your columns is
sufficient occasion. I . have refrained from
Writing, not caring to enter, into contro
versy; but now that it seems to-be abating;
and men are coming to discuss the question
on its merit, as ur. xiarris has done, lean
afford to do so. I am glad Dr. Harris writes
in sucn a way as to establish confidence in
the Foreign Mission Board and its wort -
am only sorry that in doine so, he reflected
at all o the ."gospel mission.'.' ".And yet I
bq'jw uum my uwu experience mat it is
difficult to advocate onelside without reflect-
ir g oa the other. Butthese departments of
Foreign Mission work are consistent, and we
shall see it when the principles in each are
understood." Let ns not be alarmed about
the difference of opinion as to funff this great
work snail be done. we shall nave the de
sired concord not by covering up these dif
ferences, nor by trying to make believe they
do not exist, but by knowing! and apprecia
ting them. True union is based on a knowl
edge of the facts and principles and a satis
faction therewith. Organic, union without
union in spirit is not real and is. therefore
not efficient. :'V'.; " ' 4t;Vo
i Now, the principles every one of them
found in the New Testament underlying our
movement are worthy of consideration and
respect ; they are quite sufficient not only to
take us through the opposition naturally
arising when a change is to be made, but to
sustain us and bring us to glorious success
when the opposition nas ceased. These prin
ciples may be seen in the object of the mis
sion, is seen in our printed prospectus, viz. ;
(1) To preach the gospel;. (2) Accepting
from the churches (directly) a support; (3)
While wearing the Chinese dress and living
in the Chinese houses. I In this prospectus
these propositions are elaborated and ex-
Slained. I will be glad to furnish any one
, esiring it with a copy.) ,' H: ;
Without discussing them, I may indicate
the following principles found therein that
of adaptation: to the people here who sup
port us by reduction of expense; to the Chi
faese, not only by reduction of salary to a
simple living, but by wearing the drees and
living in their bouses, r Paul expresses this
in his saying " All things to all men.'? Also,
the principle of building up Christ's spirit
ual kingdom by spiritual -rowans,' such as
preaching the gospel, carrying out in its
broadest sense, too, the command given in
Mark 16; 15, and Matt. 28: 19, 20. And
again, we honor the local church as the di
vinely appointed institution for giving the
gospel to the world by establishing direct
responsibility between it and the missionary.
1 . Dr. Harris fears we of this mission lean to
some peculiar doctrines as to the millennium
advocated by Drs. Gordon and Pierson. r I
reckon it is because they favor the church
movement, and Dr. Gordon has been known
to speak favorably of our gospel mission
No, we are fully in line with the Baptists of
the South. There is nothing peculiar about
what we regard as the "aim of missions."
It is our aim to preach the gospel to the
heathen and (using his own language), " to
labor to save souls, to train converts, to es
tablish churches as centres of influence
candlesticks in the midst of darkness."

to run over the country simply proclaiming
the good news. It is our definite purpose to
string a line of mission stations from Shan

1 , a i . i . . 1 . .
VAiuH, noping w duuq up witnessing, seu-
supporting churches at all these stations.
We do believe that giving the S. gospel of
the kingdom as a witness to all nations" is
preparatory to the Master's coming, and that
coming we wish to hasten. . . -Yes,
we are modeling our mission , after
the China Inland Mission in some respects;
we try to be like them in adapting ourselves
to the natives and in appealing to the lib
erality of the people at nome by our self
denial. We also humbly hope by honoring
God with more direct dependence upon him
to be characterized by their faith and spir.
ituality. Rut that mission is Interdenomi
national, while ours is Baptist. If we suc
ceedand succeed we will- we will vindicate
Baptist principles as nothing has done since
the days of the Apostles. : Yes, they have
their board of directors (equal to bishops)
and their "manager"; but we cannot, and
be consistent with our Baptist principles.
Now, confining ourselves strictly to the
work the Master said do, we may do It with
the means he . prescribed and through the
organization he gave us. We shall not even
have to depend on a gfreat personage like
Hudson Taylor. Making the Lord our Mas-
Uter in reality, each one of us has just as much
right to claim the Lord's support in what be
tells us to do as ever Hudson Taylor had.
We shall each be on equal footing, as Bap
tist preachers should be, and one cannot
assume any. controLover another; as ..every
one is entirely independent of the rest, re
ceiving his support straight from his church
or churches. We shall co-operate as. Baptist
preachers do here of course. If Christ can
not keep a Baptist preacher straight and

ventlons and organization generally, i wish
do not want to forsake the assembling of
ourselves together In associations and con
ventions. I do think if we could liberate
these meetings from some of the so called
business by letting it devolve upon'! the
churches and pastors, these meetings might
serve a better purpose in stimulating zeal
and deepening spirituality. : No ; we are not
opposed to boards where boards are needed.
We iare orthodox here,' too, for J Baptists
have them as a mere expedient : they are
not held to be an essential part of onr organ
ization. To do the work our Southern Bap
tist Convention has in the foreign fields, a
board is needful, a down-right necessity ;
schools are run and there must be somebody
to direct; the ; work; property is owned,
churches and houses are built, and this re
quires a board with a general fund to dis
burse. . And I want to say that this Foreign
Mission Board of ours is: the best board !
fever saw. But the ' gdspel mission " has no
general fund ; each man's money Is raised
for him and sent to him; we have no secular
work, build no houses and own no property,
hence we of our mission (not ; speaking at
all of other foreign mission work) do not
peed a board. And a board is not in this
case, and for many reasons, an expedient.
In , order to , keep from seeming to break
ranks, and to be fully in line with the work
Of the Convention,' and to avail ourselves of
the same medium of communication, we
sought at the very first to get this depart
ment incorporated in the Board's work. An
other attempt was made at the instigation
of some pastors at the last Convention, when
we went so far as to offer to pay our part of
the Board's expense thus: offering to, pay
for 'machinery upon which we do not de (
pend. .. We, failed in this attempt, and it'
may be best now in the beginning for us to
work it entirely apart from the Board, for it
Will emphasize the directness which we are
trying to establish between the church and
the missionary. , -: . t
' On the other hand, like Dr. Harris, some
think to have a committee through which a
f'group of churches " .may act is to have a
board,; only. on a smaller scale. Now, it
does seem to me the difference is real and
ought read'dy to be seen. We have no ob
jection to such a committee, or even a cen
tral committee, (we may have one as the
work enlarges), if that committee is not
vested with responsibility is only a medium.
Now, the churches of : the South have dele
gated the whole responsibility to the Board.
We are in . favor of oo operation (co opera
tion versus outside organization.) -In every
cooperative company every party in it
shares) in the responsibility. So ; in: this
f group of churches" each church-becomes
responsible for a certain part it is precisely
the same relation the pastor sustains to his
churches. . But that. $1,700 interest on bor
rowed money reported at the last Southern
Baptist Convention shows - plainly the
churches do not share in the responsibility.
.Now, the lamentation all along nas been
"the churches do not feel the "responsi
bility.", , The v do not and will not fed it
until it is theirs, neither do the pastors gen
erally; they feel that the salvation, of the
heathen devolves upon the Board and its
agents. Alas, so many of them are content
to let things go on as they are, whether the
heathen are saved or not. on the principle
that the easiest way is the best way.. By
the way, 1 nave observed that in many in
stances when they say, I am in favor of
the ' old way,' " it is not that they love the
work through the Board more, but that they
love : it all - less. It seems to me when
churches come to be able and willing to un
dertake their own foreign mission work our
Board ought to hail it with pleasure; they
can then transfer to these churches not only
some of the financial burden under, which
the Board is groaning, but also the care and
responsibility, fc Think, too; how i this re
sponsibility will vitalize the churches. Dr.
Harris thinks for the Board to yield up this
responsibility would be for: the Board to
commit suicide. v Well, what is true of the
Board is true of the churches. May hot this
lack of responsibility, then, account for the
lifelessness of churches in thiswark ! Now
the Board cannot turn over this responsi
bility to the churches unless the churches
are willing to assume it Bui where they
are willing they ought to' take it as a God
send, especially as the churches then do
mono that this is true cannot be doubted.
Now, the aim of all Boards State Boards,
Home Boards, and all is to help churches
until (hey come to be able to do their , own
work, and then they turn the work and the
responsibility over, to them. This , is the
goal, and the sooner they arrive at it the
better. That some have been feeling this
to be true of foreign mission work, witness
the BiBUCiX; Rkcobdeb, May 23d, 1888. In
commenting'on a letter in which Dr, Yates
said his forty years experience led him to
believe we should never convert the heathen
world through a central board; because the
missionaries were too far removed from
their constituents, the editor says : " Such a
course would double our contributions to for
eign missions. It is not strange that the
minds of so many of our brethren have been
turned in this direction. It is a most sensi
ble and business like view-, to. take. The
tendency is in this direction, and the time
may soon come when many of our district
associations and some of our leading churches

has come, and as fast as the workers, called
to go to China, rise up in the name of the
Lord and say to the churches, " Here am I.
send , me,? they are going to send them.)
jnow, why should some or the brethren,
as in the Biblical Recorder last week, out
of their love for ns, wish we could come
back to woriVunder the Board as we used to -Work;
when we will do the same work as
missionaries, and when the churches that .
will be required to support us in this direct
way didn't use to pay to the Board one
twenty-fifth part of what we cost the Board.
I have been afraid they wished to produce -doubt
as to our sticking to this undertaking. '
No, with the success that has crowned pur '.
efforts so . soon, with every token' of God's
favor, with a deepening of spirituality as
well as liberality on the part of the churches .
that go into it, we have no occasion to turn
back. v We Jove the principles we have
f spoused as we love our life, and we would '
give up the one as quickly as we would give '
up the other. By the way, Dr. Harris has
an idea, that I think some lives must be sac-
rificed. Why, I have no idea that churches ,
that have spirituality and life enough to un-'
dertake this support of a missionary will let
him suffer they go at with a determination , ,
that forbids failure. Dr. Harris probably
came to this conclusion because he heard,
me say, when insisting that the responsibil
ity of the Churches be actual andlhe depen- '
dence be entire, " if he starve, let him
starve." But' the man who said, "Let jus
tice be, done if the heavens fall," didn't
mean to express any fears about the heavens
falling. No; all this talk about sacrificing
the lives of missionaries Is notcalled for. ,
Again, others have asked, " Why do you
kick against the BoArdt Didn't you have
a goocf place, and didn't they ;treat you
reil t' : lam not kicking agqinst the Board. '
Is a "good place " and to be)' treated well "
all we want f God forbid I while the churches
are doing comparatively nothing, and the
heathen dying and going to hell; while' the
command of our Master is not fulfilled.
Loyalty to boards and conventions is good, '
but let us talk more of loyalty to Christ and
obey his command and give the gospel to,;
the heathen in every lawful way. t
I I hope to conclude next week with a few ;
words showing that our "Gospel Mission " '
Is designed to do a special work in a special '.
field, and does not conflict with other work. :

j f ' 1 Difficulties in Christian Bervics.
Every young Christian feels that he ought .
to be doing something for Christ. But he .
soon finds Hons in his path. Perhaps it is
his own timidity, or lack of education which '
Stands in his sray. ; Or it may be that hia
associations are unfavorable, i Or he may
really not know what to do in the way of -religious
work. He may have too high an '
ideal of the efforts he desires to make. He '
may be discouraged by failures in his first '
efforts, or by the indifference , and ingrati
tude of those for whom, he is toiling. He
inay be disheartened by the rebuffs and .
sneers of those that are older; -: One or more
bf these difficulties usually meet the young '
disciple, and not infrequently paralyze his
early tas!. By--r-'::''i; u ;::
But the young Christian must remember
that' some Of the noblest workers in the r
church of Christ have had first to overcome
their own timidity, and the hindrances aris-
ing from their surroundings. They should 1
remember, too, that if they will only walk
in the path of duty, God will show, them
how they may be useful. ; It is a great mis- '
take to suppose that we can serve Christ
only by speaking in meetings. A holy, life
Is the best sermon that can be preached, and,
the invitation of others to the meetings is .
often more effective than glowing exhorta-'
tions.) Nor should we ' be discouraged by '
failures. , The greatest men in all ranks of :
life have at first met with failures, and have ,
gradually risen; to their preeminence - by, .
learning useful ' lessons from their failures. .
We need not be discouraged because those
for whom we toil seem indifferent, or prove
ungrateful. Ample rewards will come after
a while. I Then, too,' we ought not to allow ( ,
the opposition or sneert of others to prevent '
us from doing our duty. If we thus act, our -life
here will be worth the living, and will
glow forever at . God's right hand. Our 4
