story a few days ago, as We were
talking OF the sO-called Conspiracy

Japanese. AS is we'll known, the |
Japanese tortured the prisoners most |

confess that the charges of a Chris
tan conspiracy against the Japanese |
government were true. Wild with
the agonies Of torture. some of the
men said yes" to anything they
were asked. The sentiment Of civil

hundred and nineteen of the Chris
tian men against whom these pre-
posterou3 charges had been con-
cocted.

than a year III prison. was the pas
tor Of the Sven Chun church. He
arrived home on Saturday. On Sun
day he resigned his pupil. His ex-

therefore not fit to be a minister Of

that h untruth had been spoken in
the agony Of uncomfortable torture.

BILE was that they would not let me
really debut it need no have lied.
Jesus died for the truth. Paul would
not have lied. I thereby denied my
Lord. and I cannot stay in the pull
pit" And the resignation was &C
cepted, a thrilling example to the
: Church everywhere. Could there
