faith of the Sikh, which braved death and disaster with unflinching courage, was reflected in the heroic suffer-ings of its youthful martyrs. Our authoress tells us the story of the martyrdom of Fateh Singh and Jarwar Singh, the youthful sons of Guru Govind. The two boys, confronted with their persecutor, never flinched from the faith of their fathers. They were entreated to save themselves by abjuring their religion. They firmly refused. They rose above all temptation, even the terrors of death. Mark the heroic words of these boy-martyrs “He who has forsaken his God fears death. To the devoted death is real birth, We rejoice in the presence of death. In death shall we find our everlasting joy." Thus exclaimed the sons of Guru Govind, and torture, followed by execution, terminated their young lives. The little book rereals the process of nation-building through the ordeal of of fire and persecution, It should be in hands of everybody who has his eyes open to the significance of the events that are passing around us. * * *
