PERSECUTION IN SPAIN

An agent of the Evangelical Continental Society is on trial for holding meetings in a village to which he had been invited. He has been twice condemned to imprisonment and fine on this charge, and is now awaiting the result of an appeal to the Supreme Court. Figueras, an evangelist was thrust into a dungeon for two days for holding a village service near Vigo. Two of Mr. Spurgeon's former students were assailed with stones, at the open instigation of the priest, as they were returning from a village where they had been preaching. At Camunas the authorities of the village seem to have decided on driving out all religious teachers. They have put the priest to flight, and the Protestant pastor is ordered to leave, on pain of death. Still in many places the Gospel is being actively preached.
