Jack Vinson
Kiangsu, China, 1931
--------------------
Jack Vinson's captor told him, "I'm going to kill you, aren't you
afraid?"
Vinson replied simply, "Kill me if you wish, I will go straight to
God."
-----------------
Vinson's courage inspired his friend E.H. Hamilton to write this poem:
Afraid? Of what?
To feel the spirit's glad release?
To pass from pain to perfect peace,
The strife and strain of life to cease?
Afraid - of that?
Afraid? Of what?
Afraid to see the Savior's face
To hear His welcome, and to trace
The glory gleam from wounds of grace?
Afraid - of that?
Afraid? Of what?
A flash, a crash, a pierced heart;
Darkness, light, O Heaven's art!
A wound of His a counterpart!
Afraid - of that?
Afraid? Of what?
To do by death what death could not -
Baptize with blood a stony plot,
Till souls shall blossom from the spot?
Afraid - of that?
