The first exercise of evangelical liberty accorded to the Vaudois Church
was shown in the attempt to preach the gospel and establish a place of
Protestant worship, at what, in point of geographical nearness, was the
neighbouring city, but not in the past the _neighbourly_ city of Pinerolo.
The work was, however, accomplished chiefly by the munificence of American
Protestants. Then came the opening of the edifice, which so worthily
represents the Vaudois cause in Turin. Beckwith took a very energetic part
in this important work. But the actual modern mission work of the Vaudois
Church may be said to have begun in May, 1849, when Professor Malan
preached in the temple at St. Giovanni (for the first time for centuries
past) the gospel in the Italian language.
The Count Guiccardini and some other persons of social position at Florence
and its neighbourhood joined the Vaudois Church in 1850. The same year a
Vaudois missionary was appointed to Turin, chiefly by the liberality of two
English gentlemen, Messrs. Brewin and Milsom. In 1851 a great many
refugees, for conscience' sake, from Florence (the result of evangelistic
labours there), fled to Turin and swelled the numbers of the Vaudois
congregation.
Also on the evening of the day on which was laid the foundation of the new
temple, Mazzarella, a Neapolitan advocate, deputy of parliament, and judge
of the court of appeal at Genoa, was one of ten catechumens received into
the membership of the Vaudois Church.
At the same time the gospel was finding its way into Genoa, a city devoted
to Mariolatry. On the very day on which the Table decided to send M.
Geymonat from Turin to work in Genoa, they received an application by
letter from Genoa to admit to their communion and ministry a very
distinguished ex-priest of Rome. This was no other than Dr. De Sanctis,
rector of the Magdalen and professor of theology, &c., at Rome. Excepting
during a short period, to which I need not refer, the connection thus begun
between Dr. De Sanctis and the Vaudois continued until his lamented death
on the last day of December, 1869. But there are two points I will allude
to. First, the incidental means of his conversion. This was by a little
treatise put into his hands at a time when he was preparing a series of
lectures in defence of the decrees of the Council of Trent as compared with
the word of God.
Secondly, the ground on which he sought admission into the Vaudois Church.
In the letter addressed to the Table, dated August 17th, 1852, he states
that he had abandoned the Church of Rome for nearly five years, and from
the moment of his separation until then his thoughts "always turned to the
Church of the Valleys, _because he recognized it as the true, primitive,
apostolic Italian Church_." "During these five years," he adds, "I have
lived among Christians who have proposed to me many times, with a view to
my temporal advantage, that I should join some church; but I have always
refused, thinking that _an Italian, sincerely seeking the good of his
compatriots, should not belong to any other church than the ancient
Italian Church_." I have transcribed these words, because I feel strongly
their importance as coming from one so well able to estimate the value of
the Vaudois in its past history and its adaptation to the necessities and
opportunities of evangelizing that country so much needing the gospel of
Christ--the Italy of to-day. It seems to me that it is for this very
purpose that the little community confined within so narrow a space, apart
from the more populous and frequented parts of Europe, has been preserved,
in spite of so many attempts at extermination. What the seven thousand who
did not bow the knee to Baal were to the rest of Israel, so it would seem
that the faithful few in the valleys of Piedmont are intended to be in
reference to that new kingdom of Italy, of which they form one of the most
ancient provinces. And the whole attitude and character of the Church of
the Valleys confirms this feeling. They can appeal to their brother
Italians as no foreigners can. Their very sufferings give them a right
which cannot be ignored. Mazzarella eloquently acknowledged this when he
visited La Torre. Again, by the removal of their college to Florence; their
literary enterprise in such publications as the _Amico di Casa_, _Amico Dei
Fanculli_, _La Rivista Christiana_; the talent, zeal, and organizing power
of their missionary agency, they show themselves fully alive to the
privileged responsibilities of their position in Italy, and fully entitled
to the hearty confidence and liberal support of all who desire the
supremacy of evangelic truth in that land which has been so long the head
quarters of the papacy!

From this it will be seen that the Waldensian Church has at this moment
forty stations and forty missionaries labouring in Italy and Sicily, of
whom twenty-four are ordained ministers who have attended the college
curriculum of nine years required by the Waldensian Church, four are
probationers who have also attended their whole college course, and only
wait till their year of probation as missionaries has expired to be also
ordained, and the other twelve are lay evangelists, or schoolmaster
evangelists, who have given satisfactory proof of their piety and ability
to teach. The number of day schools instituted in connection with these
mission stations is fifty-eight, taught by fifty-nine teachers, and
attended by 1,568 pupils, according to the return made to the Synod in
August, though I am inclined to think that there has been an increase in
the number since then. There are thirty-eight Sabbath schools, at which
there has been an attendance of 1,086 scholars, the greater number of whom
are children of parents still professing Catholicism. The congregations
begin to recognise the obligation of doing something to support divine
ordinances among themselves, and this year they have contributed to the
funds of the Evangelization Commission the sum of 21,217,84 lires, about
L848 sterling, being upwards of L400 sterling more than last year. The
number of communicants up to the middle of August was 1,952, and that of
catechumens 214, while the number of hearers was then stated at Sabbath
worship at a maximum of 3,220. This is a brief account of the mission-work
of the Waldensian Church in Italy, apart altogether from the pastoral and
educational work carried on in the fifteen parishes of the valleys, and in
the college of La Tour, which I have not time to enlarge on at present.
But whilst I desire to evoke the sympathy of English-speaking Christians
everywhere on behalf of the Italian mission-work of the Waldensian Church,
my chief object in sending out this little volume has been to call
attention to some wants of the Vaudois in their own home-field. It is
delightful to an English visitor to those valleys to recount the long lines
of deserved connection between his own country and this Goshen of the
Alps--a line reaching from the days of our first Charles, strengthening
visibly during the time of Cromwell, revived under William and Mary, and
Ann, continuing still through the time of the Georges; though suspended for
awhile by the interference of European warfare, yet again rekindled by the
energy and eloquence of Gilly, expanded and deepened by the devotedness of
Beckwith, and other benefactors following in his train too numerous for us
to register, but not one of them ignored or forgotten by the grateful
valley-men benefitted by their Christian kindness. Apart from the
institutions to which I have already adverted, there is another which meets
the eye of the visitor at La Torre, as he turns up the Val Angrogna. This
is the Vaudois Orphan Asylum and Industrial School, established by the
British Ladies' Association, the secretary of which is Miss Hathaway,
Cheltenham. As the title indicates, the orphans are taught useful
industries, such as straw-hat plaiting, lace and needle-work. Articles thus
made are disposed of for the benefit of the institution, which provides a
home for sixty children. Very great was the need of such a place in the
valleys, and deeply encouraging have been the fruits of this work of faith
and labour of love. Not to extend my little book too far beyond its
original design, viz., that of a "handy-book on the valleys brought down to
date," I can only add that it seems to me that the chief wants of the
church in her own valleys are--first, a better sustenance for her pastors;
the very circumstance that those pastors are now expected to take their
places side by side with the foremost men of other churches in the
Continent of Europe for the defence and spread of God's truth justifies
this plea, if it were otherwise weak, which it is not.
Secondly, help in the restoration of her ancient sanctuaries, and one or
two additional ones. One thing that struck me as a painful void was, the
absence of any public monument of the past events of the wonderful history
of the Vaudois. It is true, in one sense, that the whole place is a museum
of relics; that every rock has some thrilling tale, every mountain slope
and hill-side graven upon it the memory of saints and martyrs. Yet I
confess that those who do remember what has passed, and that those who wish
that generations yet to come may know the history of these valleys, may
well desire that some external tokens stood out to impress the passer-by
with suitable emotion. I had this feeling most strongly as I reached the
Shiloh of the valleys--the Pra del Tor.
Our route lay through the luxuriant and lovely Val Angrogna, which now
rejoiced in the fascinating charms of springtide. Everywhere the eye rested
on scenes of softness and beauty, the turf not unlike that which gives such
a charm to an English landscape, while the undulating slopes were covered
with an unutterable profusion of flowers. As we advanced higher up the
valley we were strongly reminded of the words of a French writer:
"Sometimes in leaving a gorge our attention was absorbed by a beautiful
meadow. A strange intermixture of wild and cultivated nature met our eye
everywhere, betraying the hand of man where one would have thought it
impossible for him to penetrate. By the side of a cavern we find houses;
branches of the vine where we only looked for brambles; vineyards in desert
places, and fields amidst the overhanging rocks." All this is true beyond
exaggeration, especially after you leave the village of Angrogna, with its
parsonage-house in the most picturesque situation of any we encountered.
About half an hour from this spot the scenery becomes wildly grand,
especially as you draw nigh to the torrent. On one side is the lofty
Vandalin, and on the other precipitous rocks; while in the narrow valley
the stream rushes down with its roar and foam, forming beautiful cascades,
and reminding you of some of the grandest scenery in Switzerland. But,
greatly as I was delighted with the topographical interest of my journey,
yet I would not forget that it was the people and their fathers' deeds and
sufferings that had led me to undertake this rather fatiguing enterprise;
and long before I reached the Barricata, or Pra del Torno, I had a great
enjoyment in being taken by a Vaudois mechanic, who left his work at
Angrogna, and would have no acknowledgment but my thanks, in order to show
me one of those wonderful hiding-places in the very heart of the mountains,
where the God of the hill and of the Vaudois so effectively succoured his
people. The particular cavern I was shown was most difficult of access,
not only by its seclusion, but also on other grounds; the entrance would
only admit one or two persons at a time; but once within there seemed space
enough for about a hundred persons. Here I understood large numbers of the
persecuted Vaudois had found a refuge and a sanctuary in its holiest and
happiest sense. The words, "He shall dwell on high: his place of defence
shall be the munitions of rocks," came to my thoughts with a freshness and
fulness of meaning not previously realized. But the testimony of this
valley is everywhere, "The Lord fought for Israel." The next point of
remarkable interest shows this, viz., the Barricata, which is a kind of
entrance to the enclosure known as Pra del Torno. At this spot the rocks on
either side come down close to the mountain, so that only a mere ledge of
rock remains as a path. Consequently, a small number of men could at this
point drive back a host; and here, during the persecutions of the
fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries, the contemptuous foes of
the Vaudois met with humiliating and disastrous repulses, while the Vaudois
themselves escaped comparatively unhurt. This circumstance led the enemy,
during the persecution of 1560, under the Count de la Trinita, to place his
men on the heights above Roccamanente; but his one thousand two hundred men
were successfully driven back by less than one-twentieth of that number of
the Vaudois; and when he renewed the attack with scornful assurance of
victory, a few days later, the Vaudois, who were engaged in prayer at the
time, having despatched six of their number, who were slingers, to a
commanding point above the assailants, obtained a still more triumphant
victory, without loss on their own side, but with terrible slaughter to
the enemy, including eight of his chief officers.
Time fails to recount all that might be said of these celebrated regions. I
must, however, make passing mention of the beautiful mountain peak a little
higher up on the right hand as you approach Pra del Torno, _i.e._, La
Vachera. On the 11th of June, 1655, after the Piedmontese troops were
unable to force the Barricata, though they tried from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m.,
they advanced towards La Vachera. The Vaudois went up higher. Thinking this
to be a retreat, the Piedmontese soldiers exclaimed, "Advance, wreck of
Janavello!" The Vaudois responded, "Advance, wreck of San Segonzo!"
accompanied by such a shower of stones that the soldiers fled in greatest
confusion, leaving behind them two hundred dead, and carrying away more
than twice that number of wounded. Indeed, this defeat was so decisive that
the persecutors were constrained to acknowledge "God was with the Barbets,"
and that whereas "formerly the wolves eat the dogs (_i.e._, barbetti), now
the dogs (barbetti) eat the wolves."
But we now come to the goal of our journey to-day, Pra del Torno, a very
sanctuary, embosomed amidst the everlasting hills, the site of the ancient
college of the Vaudois clergy, from whence they went forth to preach the
doctrines of a pure faith even before Wickliffe rose as the morning star of
the Reformation in our own land. Nature is still there in all its grandeur;
but I must confess to a feeling of sadness as I beheld a church under the
patronage of the Virgin Mary in these valleys, where so much noble blood
had been shed for the maintenance of the truth as it is in Jesus, but no
place of worship for the descendants of the men who were ready to die, but
not ready to dishonour God by participating in a worship contrary to His
blessed Word. And my regret was not lessened when I learnt that the
evangelical Vaudois has to make an eight hours' journey to his nearest
temple, and that his pastor would have a journey of similar character to
make to the sick and aged members of his flock in this secluded spot. I
found a schoolroom, erected by General Beckwith, in a dilapidated state,
and the poor old schoolmaster very infirm from sickness and age. My desire,
therefore, is to raise funds either to greatly improve the schoolroom, or,
better still, to erect a neat temple in this consecrated spot, so as at
once to commemorate the piety and heroism of the dead, and to provide for
the wants of the living. The pastor of the parish, the Rev. J. Durand
Canton, has informed me how great a boon such a place would be. The Table
have also assured me of their hearty co-operation. Several subscriptions
have been kindly promised. F. A. Bevan, Esq., of the firm of Messrs.
Barclay, Bevan, and Co., 54, Lombard Street, has kindly consented to
receive donations for the object: they may also be sent to me. Let each
reader of this volume join in the work, and so, by the divine blessing, it
shall be accomplished; and another object also, viz., that which makes the
church of the valleys a holy bond of union between Christian brethren in
both hemispheres; and between those whose church polity may differ, but
whose creed is one in all essential points, and who proclaim as the one
thing needful a living faith in a living Saviour, the one Mediator between
God and men, the man CHRIST JESUS.
