Thankyou for your response. I've counted the book about John & Betty Stam a treasure, for many years past; I think it is still in print. Here's something else that Betty wrote >
[This poem was written by Betty Stam, just before being martyred together with her husband in December, 1934. They were paraded through the middle of town naked, led to the town square where the Communist regime forced everyone to watch.There they were decapitated for the whole world to see.] ---
AFRAID ?
Afraid? Of what? Afraid to see the Saviour'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 life could not - Baptize with blood a stony plot, Till souls shall blossom from the spot? Afraid - of THAT?

Afraid? Of what?
Afraid to see the Saviour'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 life could not -
Baptize with blood a stony plot,
Till souls shall blossom from the spot?
Afraid - of THAT?
