During the Boxer rebellion in China in the year of 1900 many Christians and lovers of the Scriptures were cruelly persecuted and slain—often in large numbers.
A little girl, whose father had already been murdered because of his faith, hid herself in a corn-field to elude her persecutors. Her fiendish enemies discovered her, hover, and demanded to know where her father had hidden his Bible, as they wished to destroy it. The wicked men threatened the child with death, but she refused steadfastly to betray the hiding place of the Book of God. That precious volume had revealed the Lord Jesus to her, and was her strength and stay.
The cruel Boxers had no pity. They soon killed the faithful young witness, and she was numbered among the many already martyred for Christ’s sake. She would rather die than give up her Bible.
