> These facts show that the Church
*# the Waldeoaee is inspired with a
hoWc missionary seal. It is in their
hearts to attempt great things for
the cause of Christ In Italy. But
their means are very limited. How
can it be expected that 32,000 poor
inhabitants of three small valleys
surrounded by the Alps, can supiiort
their College, Theological Seminary,
Orphan Asylum, schools and mis
sfeas, without aid from wealthier
and larger churches ? They can not.
