Ancient Christian Zeal

ANCIENT CHRISTIAN ZEAL.—Good old Chrysostom, in his epistle to Cyriacus, said:
“Should the Empress determine to banish me, let her banish me; ‘the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.’ If she will cast me into the sea, let her cast me into the sea; I will remember Jonah. If she will throw me into a burning fiery furnace, the three children were cast there before me. If she will throw me to the wild beasts; I will remember that Daniel was in the den of lions. If she will condemn me to be stoned; I shall be the associate of Stephen, the protomartyr. If she will have me beheaded; the Baptist has submitted to the same punishment.”
