   Officer Arnaud Beltrame, a Catholic, volunteered to take the place of a female hostage in France, and paid with his life. 

   John Paton, former missionary to cannibals in the former New Hebrides, South Pacific, suffered and endured for the sake of the gospel. These pagans thought nothing of killing their baby girls and widowed mothers.
