  	    The word martyr, from the Greek, means witness; but
  	those who testified for Truth were so often persecuted
 6	unto death, that at length the word martyr	                   Testimony
  	was narrowed in its significance and so has	                   of martyrs 
  	come always to mean one who suffers for his convictions. 
 9	The new faith in the Christ, Truth, so roused the hatred
  	of the opponents of Christianity, that the followers of
  	Christ were burned, crucified, and otherwise persecuted;
12	and so it came about that human rights were hallowed
  	by the gallows and the cross.
