On one occasion, as Leigh Richmond was traveling by coach, the passengers got out to walk a bit
and lighten the horses, as well as to enjoy the magnificent prospect, and he began to give a tract
to every wayfarer he met. One of his fellow-travelers smiled derisively as he saw a tract treated
contemptuously by the receiver, torn in two and thrown down on the road. "See how your tract has
been used," said he; "there is one, at least, quite lost."
"I am not so sure of that," replied Mr. Richmond; "at any rate the husbandman sows not less because
some of the seed may be trodden down."
When they turned around at the top of the hill to take another look at the scene before mounting the
coach, they saw distinctly the fate of the little tract. A puff of wind had carried it over the
hedge into a hayfield where a number of haymakers were seated and listening to said tract which one
of their number had found. He was observed carefully joining together the two parts which had been
torn asunder, but were held together by a thread. The devil had done his work imperfectly; for
instead of tearing the tract to tatters his agent had left it still available for use, a little
pains sufficing to make it legible. Thus the poor man who had torn the tract in two was the means of
its being read by a whole band of haymakers instead of by a single individual. But this was not all
- the reader of the torn tract was led to reflection and prayer, and subsequently became an earnest
Christian and tract distributor himself. Of the company that were with him in the field, three
became, within twelve months, diligent laborers in their neighborhood on behalf of the truth as it
is in Christ.
