ANNE ASKEW.

Three hundred years ago there
lived in Lincolnshire, England, q
beautiful and educated girl named
Anne Askew Her sister was to
marry certain man, bat she died.
and Anne's father compelled Anne
to marry the man.
At that time good men were
preaching the gospel and earnestly
askin J, the people to read the B ible.
Anne began to read the Bible in Sc
cret, and to see that the religion of
the people around her. was wrong in
many things. One of the queens
who lived then tame,to believe the
religion of the Bible::s|tWhen Anne
Askew accepted Jesus as her Saw
Jour. her husband turned against
her. complained Of her to the priests
and finally turned her out;of his
house. But this did not shake. her
faith: she was more EARNEST vthan
ever in seeking God.,>~ .,ccl :. !.
She became acquainted wit h
some noble ladies who were seeking
God, and we may well. believe she
helped them on in the good way.
Finally. some of the enemies of
these noble women sought to- de-
stroy them, but they could not get
any evidence against them. Then
they they thought of Anne Askew.
They would try her. So the priests
came and asked her many questions
but she answered them so wisely
and SO pleasantly from the Bible
that they had to leave her. Over
and over they tried TO shake her
faith in God, but could not.
Then they shut her up in New
gate Jail. where she was very ill and
in great pain, and she asked her
friends to pray. pray, pray" that
she might not fail. AT last an
uncle prevailed upon the court to
release her ON bail. This they did
but soon imprisoned her again in
Neweate. and soon after that in
the Tower.
Then the cruel official proceeded
