That is just what Je sus did. He left his heavenly home to seek and to save a ; lost world; so also will his true followers, filled , with his love, strive to resole their brethren from sin and hell. Not only were missionaries sent, but colporteurs too. Yes,.. the Waldenses employed colporteuri, more than four him dud years agn--piour pedlars, who, with their goods, carried leaves of the Bible,aud written tracts—for thia wan before the hi vention .tif printing—and left them,.wiih those found . Willing to read and receive them., In ways lika these, Bible ,piety was kept alive in many hearts, and ",homes, and hamlets,while the darkness of Popery was settling down upon the 'Christian world.
