During the boxer revolution in China many years ago Christians and lovers of the Scriptures were cruelly persecuted and slain—often in large numbers.
Little Ming, whose father had already been murdered because of his faith, hid herself in a cornfield to escape her persecutors. Her fiendish enemies discovered her, however, and demanded to know where her father had hidden his Bible, as they wished to destroy it. The wicked men threatened the little girl with death, but she refused steadfastly to betray the hiding place of the Book of God. That precious volume had revealed the Lord Jesus to her, and was her strength and stay.
The cruel men had no pity. They soon killed the faithful young witness, and she was numbered among the many already martyred for Christ’s sake. She would rather die than give up her Bible.
“Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” Revelation 2:10.
