If anybody thinks that the days of martyrdom for opinions are passed, let him step out from the conservative ranks wherein he marches, and join a radical wing of the army, or enter a new service altogether.
The man who does it will soon find himself a martyr, no matter how conscientious his motives. The only thing to be regretted in such case is that the come-outer soon developes an intolerance, a decided improvement on the stay-inners'.
Who were more bigoted and cruelly intolerant than the blessed old Puritans, when they found a country where the English church did not rule?
