Ralph Sherwin
He was the convert
to Roman Catholicism.
Government spies
denounced him quickly.
Upon arrest he was charged
with treasonable conspiracy,
because he was a catholic priest.
In prison he thought fellow inmates,
“there is no reason
why we should fear
much as to a victorious result,
for JHS has conquered the World”.
He was proud to testify about the truth,
suffered and gave life for Christ,
His last words before execution
were: “Jesus, be to me my Saviour”.
