2 Timothy 3:12 Yes, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. At Perth, in 1554, there were three male prisoners and one woman — Helen Stirk — put to death for their adherence to the gospel of Jesus. The latter was taken to see her husband suffer before she followed him. They embraced under the gallows. "Husband," she said, "we have lived together many joyful days; but this day in which we must die ought to be most joyful to us both, because we must have joy for ever. Therefore I will not bid you good-night. Certainly we shall meet again in the kingdom of heaven." The executioners seized their prey, and she, too, was then led away to be drowned. When she reached the water's edge she gave the child to a nurse, she was hurled in, and the justice of the Church was satisfied.
