| Abstract | "We cannot, e.g., cite in proof of the superiority of Christianity the fact that for defence of its truth, and in reliance upon it, many suffered martyrdom. Every religion has had its victims. The martyrs of Babism have left as touching memorials of their constancy as those we read in the annals of the Christian Church. The freeness and confidence with which women and girls submitted to torture or faced the beasts in the amphitheatres convinced observant spectators that in the religion for which they died there was certainly something strengthening, and probably something true. Many were moved in precisely the same way as Justin, who himself subsequently laid down his life for his religion." |
