Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of the Christian Church During the Middle Ages The following work was begun with a view to give a brief History of the Waldenses, and was afterwards ex tended by introducing sketches of the history and doctrines of other dissenters from the Greek and Roman Churches, who appeared previous to the Reformation. The writer does not profess to give a regular Ecclesias tical History, but merely sketches of some events which had an important bearing upon the progress or declension of Christian principles. It will be perceived that the Church of Christ is here viewed in a very different light from that in which it has been presented by some historians;-its vitality depends, not upon the form of its organization, the creed it has adopted, or the ceremonies it employs; but rather upon the indwell ing of the Spirit of Christ, and the manifestation of that Spirit by wor ks of charity and love. The highest evidence we can give of our love to God, is by-loving our fellow-men and laboring or suffering for their good.
