Martyr- Jaemy Douglas

When Charles I ruled England, Clover Hous received the kings order

and tortured Christians very much. He also killed them. The trials and sufferings

were countless. Those days were terrible for children. They lived with a fearbecause they did not know what would happen the next day. Parents were killed

before their children and children were killed before their parents.

In these days people who had Bible as their basis of faith, avoided idol

worship and as they were afraid of Clover Hous who had the order to torture

Christians. They hid in the forests, mountains and caves.

The priest Tom Roy guided the Christians and strengthened their faith and

helped them to be firm in Christ.He hid in a cave in a mountain due to his fear of

Clover Hous . A little boy Jaemy Doulas went carefully and gave the food parcel

given by his mother to the priest Tom Roy. He knew well that he would have to

meet dangerous situations through Clover Hous. He acted very carefully so he

would not be seen by them.

One day Jaemy went near the cave where Tom Roy was hiding. At that

time Clovers men who were behind the bushes surrounded the little boy. He had

hidden the food packet inside his shirt pocket. They said to him, Ah! You are

caught. Arent you going to give the food packet to the priest Tom Roy? Where ishe hiding? Tell us. They dragged Jaemy to their leader Clover Hous. The leader

also asked Jaemy where the priest was hiding. Little Jaemy replied that he would

not tell them. The leader jumped in anger saying Unless you tell me, I shall

torture you and kill you He held his shoulder tightly and said, Are you talking to

me like this? If you wont tell the priests hiding place, see what will happen to

you. He dragged Jaemy to a nearby valley.

That valley was dark and fulls of rocks.He said, I shall put you inside the

valley, you will become the food for the jackals there He lifeted Jaemy and actedas if he would throw him away. Then again he made Jaemy stand on a rock and

roared, Tell me where the priest is. Otherwise you will be put inside the valley.

Jaemy requested many times. He said, No sir, please dont put me inside the

valley. Dont you have children like mein yourhome? The leader said, Ifyou

tell us where the priest is, you will not be punished.

Then Jaemy said boldly, I wont tell you. Then he looked at the sky. He cried

bitterly. He remembered the scene of Jesus standing up to welcome Stephen. He

believed that the Lord who accepted Stephen would also accept him. This thought

encouraged him. On seeing the courage and stubbornness of Jaemy, Clover was

very angry. He caught Jaemy and threw him inside the valley.

His soul flew towards eternal kingdom before his body reached the bottom of the

valley. Priest Tom Roy was waiting for the arrival of Jaemy till the evening. Then

darkness surrounded. At night stars were shining brightly in the sky but Jaemy was

not seen anywhere. Finally the priest and Jaemys mother comforted themselves in

Jesus saying, Kings men would have killed Jaemy. We cannot see him again in

this world but we shall meet him in our fathers house

Dear little brother and sister, you have known about Jaemy Douglas whosacrificed his life for Jesus. Will you surrender your life to Jesus?
