"She also lives in her many sons and daughters scattered everywhere, like precious seed, to form the nucleus ofchurch- es in different and distant places. 'The blood of the mar- tyrs' has always been 'the seed of the church.' The persecu- tion in the days of Stephen caused the gospel to spread, be- ing everywhere preached by the refugees. So the dispersion of this people has caused them to enter everywhere into the fabric of church and state, carrying their principles and im- pressing the influence of the old church, and making her pow- er more widely felt. The Varnedoes at Valdosta; Bakers, at Thomasville; Stacy and Way, at Brunswick; Fleming, at Newton; Stevens, at Leesburg; Quarterman, at Winder; King, Dunwody and Minton, at Roswell; Dowse, at Bath ; Heywood and West, at Perry, besides the large numbers entering into the population of the larger cities, as Savan- nah, Macon and Atlanta, are witnesses to this truth. No other community has contributed so largely to the upbuild- ing of the different churches in the state. Like her own world renowned Pear Tree, she has suffered the dismember- ment of her own body for other plantings in other places; and like Samson of old, has actually slain more in her death than while living.
"What the future of this people will be, we know not. God may have some other work for them to do, and with this bitter training may be preparing them for it. The chil- dren of Israel were schooled in the wilderness for establish- ment in Canaan. The hardships and trials of the revolu- tion only better prepared our forefathers for laying the foun-

dation of the American Republic. The noble character of Covenanter was developed only by Scotland passing through the fires of persecution. So the intense and continued cruel- ties practiced upon the Waldenses only so purified and strengthened their character, as to make them the grandest witnesses for the truth upon the earth. So it might be that God is sifting this people like wheat for another planting, and hardening them for some other great work. And though the former order of things may never be re- stored, and this building, hoary with age and rich in histor- ic renown, as well as sacred memories, may tumble in ruins, and even these tombs and monuments, which mark the last resting places of many loved ones, whose mouldering bodies lie slumbering in this camping ground of the dead, be com- pletely obliterated, yet if the descendants of this people, con- scious of the mighty responsibility resting upon them, and inspired with fresh vigor and zeal from the monuments of the past, instead of spending the time glorying over by-gone achievements, or indulging gloomy forebodings about the future, would diligently and laboriously apply themselves to the task before them, they may yet continue the work so ` gloriously begun by their forefathers and even make the rec- ord of the old church still more illustrious. And it is possi- ble, in some way unknown to us, that God may in the future raise up even here, out of these mouldering ruins, another church and clothe it with the vigor and freshness of former years.
"But if this be not His will, if the time of her active life be past and she is to live only in history and story, then let the influence of her embalmed life continue ever to linger like holy fragrance around this sacred spot, a silent witness of the past and a source of inspiration for the future; in either case a benediction to the world, and to all who shall come after."
