In the year 1555, a brother named Christian was
apprehended, in Bavaria, and taken to Worms, and
although he had been in the church only a short
time, he nevertheless faithfully adhered to the divine
truth, which he had embraced and confessed, and
firmly kept until death what he had promised God
in the covenant of his Christian baptism; and,
through divine power and strength, testified to the
faith with his blood. He was executed with the
sword, at Worms. Thus he fought a good fight
even unto death, strove for the truth, safely finished
530
his course, and refused to be led astray, preferring
a valiant death to a shameful life. Hence, there is
promised to him the crown of righteousness, which
the Lord, at the last day, will give him, and unto
all them that love his appearing. 2 Tim. 4:8.
