Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes of a Tour in the Valleys of Piedmont: In the Summer of 1854 In the beginning of this century, indeed, they fell into false doctrine, and lost almost all spiritual religion. But God has by his grace restored them in a measure; their pastors generally are now faithful men; religion is growing among them, and they seem likely to be useful to the whole of Piedmont. Having, since I first read their history, felt much interest in their welfare, it was with great pleasure that I set out from Paris, July 13th, with pay friend, Mr. Roussel, to visit them. We hoped that he would be able to do them some good, with the blessing of God, by preaching in their parishes; and we further wished to learn whether the Evangelical Continental Society, from which we went as a Deputation, can promote the evangelization of Piedmont by its contributions through them as its medium. Thursday evening, July 13th, at eight o'clock, Mr. Roussel and I left Paris by the Lyons Railway, and reached Macon at five o'clock. At half-past six we left Macon in the diligence and reached Geneva at eight o'clock in the evening. The road has many interesting features.
