Excerpt from Diaz: The Apostle of Cuba Of the poor race for which the God-man died, And do it all for love - ah this is great, And he who does this will achieve a name Not only great, but good. It is in this last and noblest orbit, to use the figure of our Christian philosopher, that the subject of our brief sketch, Alberto Jose Diaz, the consecrated Cuban missionary, has moved with such conspicuous eminence during the past ten years. The life of so heroic a spirit as his cannot fail both to interest and to instruct. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
