ry and ecclesiastical character of the Vaudois.

And, secondly, to evoke help towards their work generally, but especially
to call out contributions, by means of which a MEMORIAL CHURCH may be
erected near the site of the ancient college of the Vaudois, at Pra del
Tor, Val Angrogna, and so still further illustrate the accuracy of the
ancient motto of the Vaudois, "The hammers are broken, the anvil remains."

"TRITUNTUR MALLEI REMANET INCUS."
