“ . . . men who have not bowed the
knee to Baal”—Romans 11: 4.
'A 'l6-year-old-boy in Chicago once
said to me, “It is not a cinch to stand
up and be counted for Christ.” He
spoke from experience, and what he
said is true. It has never been an
easy thing ito be a Christian. .
The great 15th century Bohemian
preacher, John Hus, found this out
the hard way. Devoted to the Scrip
tures, he did not hesitate to rebuke the
excessive immorality and vice of his
day. He began by attacking the mis
deeds of the idle rich. One of his
victims complained to the king, and
the king told the Archbishop of'

Prague that he must warn Hus to be
more cautious in his language. The
archbishop smiled and replied, “No,
your majesty; Hus is bound by his
ordination oath to t speak the truth
without respect of persons.” Later Hus
went on to attack the v'ijps of the
clergy. Then the archb shop complain-j
ed to the king, spying that the lan
guage of Hus was too rash’ and would
do more harm than good. “No,” said
ithe king, smiling; “Hus is bound by
his ordination oath to speak the truth
without respect of persons.”-
' He finally had to sacrifice his life
on the altar on his convictions. Charg- !
ed by religious leaders of his day with
being guilty of, of all things, placing
the teachings of the Bible above the
traditions and teachings of men;, he
was tried (though not allowed to speak
in his own behalf), condemned and, de
spite promise of a safe conduct, sen
tenced ito be burned at the stake. To
justify their infamous perfidy, his
treacherous murderers said, “We are
1 not required by God to honor promises
made to heretics.” Hus displayed to
these wicked men his Christlike spirit
as he kneeled and prayed, “Lord
Jesus, forgive them for thy mercy’s
sake.” This prayer was greeted by
his wretched accusers with a mocking
laugh.
j As he ascended the platform, a
paper cup, a yard high, was placed
on 1T S head. It was pictured with
demons struggling for his soul, and it
bore the words, “Hie est heresiarcha”
(This is the arch-heretic). As the
flames consumed his frail body, one of
his evil tormentors said, “We commit
thy soul to the devil.” To this Hus
replied, “And I commit it to my most
gracious Lord Jesus Christ.”
No, it is not a cinch, even in this
day and age, to stand up and be count- j
ed for the Lord Jesus Christ. A friend
of mine, a Baptist missionary in Que
bee, saw his church desecrated and was I
himself imprisoned because he dared I
to preach the Bible. Another friend,!
in Brazil, was almost killed as he used j
body to shield his wife and bah’-

In our own country, the Christian is
ridiculed as old-fashioned, narrow
minded, a fanatic. Here, some men
worship science, others their bank ac
counts, their social positions, still oth
ers their own vain, insignificant minds.
But thanks be to God there are still
some, even in such a time as this, who
have not bowed the knee to Baal.
There are still some who are not
ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, no
matter what the cost. Are you one
of those?
