Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ladies' Repository, 1868, Vol. 28: A Monthly Periodical, Devoted to Literature and Religion While the council was undecided as to the yielding of this request the people took the mat ter in their own hands and conducted Farel into the church of the barefooted monks, where, on the first of March, at the ring of the bell, the Gospel was preached for the first time. F arel's words had power, and the people did not for get them. Henceforth the Gospel made great progress, and from that day the beams of the new light streamed forth from Geneva to other parts of Switzerland. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was celebrated according to the instructions of Christ himself; many priests left their altars, and there was a universal stir in favor of the great doctrines which Farel had proclaimed. But with an increase of Gospel truth there was renewed opposition on the part of the Romish Church, yet it was plain enough that it could not succeed, and that the Reformation was fast becoming a fixed fact in Geneva and throughout Switzerland. On the twelfth of July Farel spoke to the people so convincingly and with such great power that nobody dared to raise a voice against him, and on the 27th of August the Reformation was firmly inaugura ted in Geneva, and it has existed from that day to this. Farel was not intent merely on proclaiming new doctrines, but he also paid great attention to an improved Spiritual life. Having succeeded in Geneva, he went else where, preaching the Gospel with renewed confidence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
