Excerpt from Brief Memorials of Jean Frédéric Oberlin, Pastor of Waldbach, in Alsace: And of Auguste Baron De Stael-Holstein; Two Distinguished Ornaments of the French Protestant Church; With an Introductory Sketch of the History of Christianity in France, From the Primitive Ages to the Present Day

England and France have been, for many ages, not only rivals, but, with occasional intervals of repose, cumies set in array. Their statesmen have opposed each other in the cabinet, with the zeal and subtilty usual amongst political antagonists. Their heroes have met on the plain, and displayed the valonr as well as the skill of accomplished combatants. Such hostility, attended as it has ever been. With far spread evils, and scenes of inexpressible calamity, cannot, under any result, but awaken many painful associations. But there is a rivalry, neither tarnished by the arts of refined policy, nor stained by the gore of battlefields - the rivalry in acts of humanity - the contest of Christian philanthropists, who strive to sur pass each other in doing good.
