Excerpt from Our National ChurchA whole century has to pass before the next historical mention of the British Church. The fourth century opens with the last of the great Roman persecutions Of Christianity. It was during this persecution that the martyrdom of St. Alban at Verulam (now St. Albans) took place about the year, 04. He is the first known martyr of the British hureh, a member Of the British race, and at the same time a Roman soldier. He was con verted by a British priest who was ¿eeing from his persecutors, and came to the soldier, Alban, for shelter, who protected the priest, and changed clothes with him. Alban was arrested, and, on his refusal to abjure Christianity, was killed. It was on the spot where he died for his religion that, in later days, there arose the great abbey church of St. Albans.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
