THE following incident, related by Bishop Riley, of Mexico, at a recent meeting of the Religious Tract Society, points to an interesting succession of men who have been instrumental in the Lord's hand in promoting the spread of the Gospel in Spain, and who were links in one chain of which the first link was the blessing of God on a tract. A tract published in Italian by an American missionary, and left at the door of the house of the late Dr. De Sanctis when he was a parish priest in Rome, was eagerly read by him. It pointed to and led him to the Bible, and the true interpretation of it. The study of the Bible led him to the Saviour, and he gave up his high position and prospects in Rome, and become a preacher of Protestant truth. At Turin he began to preach. There a Spaniard, Ruet, heard him and accepted from him the Gospel message. Ruet went to Barcelona, was imprisoned and banished for the faith's sake, took refuge at Gibraltar, and there began to work for Christ. Here another young Spaniard, Matamoros, heard him preach. He asked for a copy of the New Testament, compared Ruet's teaching with it, found that they were in harmony, and joined him. He returned to Spain, and began to work there, and was imprisoned for three years; but, though silenced, he was able to do some work through the press. One of his publications came into the hands of a Roman Catholic priest, Caberera. These words of our Lord were specially brought home to him; "Come unto Me, and I will give you rest." He gave up his position, came to Gibraltar, worked there as a sign painter, till under General Prim's Government, he was at liberty to go back to Spain. His work as a Protestant minister, first at Seville and now at Madrid, is well known. Who can tell, when in faith he plants a little seed, whereunto it will grow?
