How the Bible Entered Spain.
The National Bible Society of Scotland made its way into Spain as far back as 1865. The story, as told by a secretary of the society, is a remarkable one: “While yet the Bible was confiscated at every frontier, Manuel Matamoros showed us how the Book might be printed in Spain itself, for the use of the faithful souls, who, meeting in secret and under feigned names, were feeling their way toward the light. In a back room in a back street in the Cathedral city of Malaga, at a rickety old handpress, with scanty supply of type, a godly printer, with his own hands and such help as13his wife and boy could render, printed at the cost of the society 3,000 large type New Testaments in the course of seventeen months’ labor, during every hour of which he stood in danger of arrest and the galleys—a feat which will live in history with the achievements of those who counted not liberty or life dear to them for the sake of Christ and His Gospel.”
