TWO CHILD MARTYRS.

Mrs. Simcox, a missionary's wife who was murdered in China, wrote, in one of her last letters, about two little boys whose friends and relatives the Boxers had put to death before their eyes, in the hope that they would deny their faith in Christ. The little boys were told to say they "did not believe in

God." But the brave children said, "We do believe in God." Then came the cruel rejoinder, "We are going to kill you this instant, if you don't deny Him." With a loyalty unsurpassed, instantly came back the answer, "Even if you kill us, we will still believe." In a few moments the little childish voices were stilled forever on earth, for they had joined the host who have witnessed for their Maker with their lives.—Selected.
