Excerpt from Thoughts From Modern MartyrsTo many it is a new thought that ours is an age of saints and martyrs. The reader of current events notes everywhere the spirit of evil, and the huge towers of commerce that dwarf the spires of our churches proclaim the people's greed for gold.Yet in the throngs that daily walk the busy streets in every centre, large and small, the good touch elbows with the bad, and lovers of God are often found where children of darkness were thought to be.Saints and sinners have appeared in every age, and the saints of the nineteenth century will compare fay orably with those of the past, while the martyrs of our day, especially those of China and Tonquin, natives as well as Europeans, have equalled in heroism and in numbers the glorious record of any nation yet evangelized.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
