(Copyright National Newspaper Service.) expect that the execution of Childers may mean the beginning of a new chapter in the turbulent history of Ireland. In many quarters the fear was expressed that this chapter may be described by the word “reprisals” and that the reprisals may be bloodier ;and develop into more intense in- ternecine warfare than that which has gone before. People Knew Childers. Many people in England were shocked at the news of the execution because they knew Childers, knew him when he bore an honored name as a British patriot who rendered his country good service in the African war, and when he was something of a hero in the British literary world as author of “The Riddle of the Sands.” This work was hailed as not only of great literary merit, but as some- thine of a tract on patriotism. None of Childers' old friends who were spoken to seemed to know just when and why he underwent transformation from an ardent Bri ish patriot to an Irich revolutionary. His mother was an Irish woman. The Childers family came from a distin- guished line. The dead man's father gained fame as an oriental scholar. Wife an American. Childers’ wife is an American wom- an, and traces her ancestry back to the American revolutionary days in the lineage of the Putnam family. She was the heroine of an adventure when Childers, in 1914, as a retort to the Ulsterites landing arms in north Ireland, brought a consignment of arms for south Ireland to the coast a short distance north of Dublin. Mrs, Childers, who is described as a daring yachtswoman, is safd to have piloted the yacht to'the coast in the dark> ness of night. A Cork dispatch to the Daily Mall says that the corporation meeting was adjourned last evening in conse- auence of the execution of Childers. Young women in the galleries, the dispatch said, began to speak in pro- test against the execution, but the members of the corporation left with- out listening. The correspondent adds that inasmuch as the ambushing of. soldiers continues daily in southern’ Ireland, partly in Cork county, the people regard the execution as neces- sary. Details Stiil Secret. The place and manner of the execu- tion of Childers has not been official- 1y announced this morning. Some re- ports say that it oceurred at Beggars Bush barracks, others at Portobello barracks. ‘The Dublin Express states positively that Childers was shot by a firing squad in Kilhainham jail. The news- paper quotes a statement by the re- publican publicity department to the effect that after Childers had been told the execution was to take place he requested to see a Protestant clergyman whom he had known as a boy. The minister was with him, the statement said, when he walked to his execution. He spoke no word to his executioners. —_——— BAPTIST FEDERATION NOTES ] B. Y. P.

JESUS THE GREAT MISSION- ARY.—Luke, 8.1,56. Golden text.—The Son of Man came to n&k and to save that which Was lost.—Luke, 19.10. Christ's second missionary tour through Galiles furnishes us the op- portunity of seeing spmething of the |Master's missionary ' purpose and power. Jesus was the founder of modern missions. They express His love and passion for a lost world. The opposition that we saw develop- ing in our previous studies caused the Lord to change His methods of work when He started upon His sec- ond missionary journey. He was ac- companied by the twelve, whom He was teaching by precept and practice how to carry on His work, after His departure, and by a band of ‘women whom He had won by His ministry of love. ‘Women owe to the missionary work of Jesus their freedom and ematci- pation from the bondage of slavery. he noble group of women who fol- lowed Jesus and ministered unto Him and apostles had been healed by the Great Physician of their in- firmities and ~evil spirits. Their presence made & tremendous appeal to the women of the various commun- itles they visited. Some of them, like the wife of Herod's steward. held high social positions. They gave of their funds and found in the com- monest tasks for His welfare the joy and privilege of worship. Women have recognized their debt to Christ and have been during all the cen- turies of Christian history His most loyal supporters and promoters of His missionary program to win the nations of the world for His kingdom. Jesus recognized the dangers of popularity. He was not deceived by the crowds that flocked out of the cities and communities to hear Him speak along the shore of the Lake of Galilee. He depended upon winning men and women one by one for His cause. He proclaimed His greatest truths to_one woman at the well of Sychar. Pulpit power has not always promoted the upbuilding of the King- dom of God. The church that carries the message of sympathy for the {needy and of the gospel for humanit counts most In His plans. He warned them against counting too much upon popularity because of the diverse character of His hearers, It was about this time that Jesus commenced a new method of teach- ing. He adopted the {llustrative method of instructing His aposties and disciples by using the parables that veiled His message from those who possessed no spiritual Insight. One of his matchless parables, which is generally called that of the sower, is in this week's lesson. He was seek- ing to impress upon His students during this period of His missionary activities the nature of the kingdom of God. He could not openly teach that truth without belng misunder- stood by those who.looked upon a kingdom as a revolt against the Romans. These men were present as spies. seeking to catch, contradict and condemn Christ's teachings. He was speaking upon a dangerous sub- Ject even when He tried to make th disciples understand that it was a spiritual organism growing from divine seed. He has given us in His own words the interpretation of the parable which He could have drawn from nature that presented . itself to Him from His floating pulpit that early spring morning when He preached to the crowds upon the sea- shore. The recepttvity of human hearts determined the success of mis- sionary effort. This places the re- sponsibility upon each individual soul for His own fate. . The Pharisees could only explain {the miracles of Jesus on the ground ithat He was being used of ! They clalmed that it was due to" th | power of the evil one that He per- formed His acts of mercy and grace. They must have influenced the Mas- ter's family to look at the activities iof the Lord from a similar viewpoint, for upon one of the occasions when He returned to His headquarters in i Capernaum His mother and the other jmembers of His family came down {from Jerusalem detérmined to bring Him home with them because they feared for His safety ~or possibly thought He had overworked and was broken down. When they reached His home they could not get in because of the crowds, so they sent for Him to come out to them. The Lord de- clined His mother's request, because of His duty to His heavenly Father. There must have been something of a surprise when Jesus mildly rebuked His kinfolk, who wished to interfere { with His carrying out His missionary work, by the declaration that spirit- {ual fellowship was more vital than any human tles. Obedience to His word freed the Christian brotherhood from the burdens of the synagogue and traditions of men. It emphasized | the_ spiritual unity of His followers. Worn out and weary from the ac- tivities of the day, Jesus ordered His disciples to turn the boat, which had served Him as a pulpit, to the east side of the lake, where our Lord fre- quently sought a quiet resting place. While the boat- moved toward the secluded section of the lake Christ sought rest by sleeping upon the steersman’s cushion. Suddenly one of those terrific storms which" quickly arise on_that laké because of its position filléd the dfsclples with ter- ror. In their frenzy they aroused the sleeping Master, who demonstrated His divine power by calming the winds and waves. He rebuked the disciples for their lack of faith in Him, as He probably would criticize our faflure to trust His protection when He is with us, as He has as- sured us He would be if we obey His great missionary command. The balance of the chapter is re lated to the Master's medical mission: ary activities.

C., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1922 Sunday School Lesson darene presents more perplexity and problems than any one of the several specific cases recorded in the gospel of those whose allments are described as demoniac possessions. The popu- lar idea was, as it is in China today, that evil spirits were accustomed to take their abode in men, Speaking with "their, tongues and aoting upon their bodies, affiicting them with va- rious physical diseases When we re- ize how -germs enter into the body and turn parts of it:Into a mass of putrid flesh we can redily see how it is possible for evil td enter into our brain and ‘derange the power of rea- son. The demoniacs of the New Testa- ment resemble persons wha are tor- | mented by envy, lust,-greed and other evil - passions' that dominate the hu- man soul. The condition of = the shameless, homeless and mad man would appeal to the Lord Jesus for help. There were no asylums for the ‘mentally afflicted in those days. They are the product of Christian sympathy and teaching. Probably the Gadarene was suffering from a worse form of dik- eage: than .imsanity. The Mabter did not diagnose the cause of his affilc- tion or asstgn any name to the trou- ble. Christ saw that he was a source of danger to the community. The marvelous personality and power of the Lord is seen in the manner .In || which he controfled and cured the d mohiac. Modern mental healers who | u¥e psychological laws that form the basis of phycatry find in the methods used by the Great Physiclan in the delivery of the demoniac excellent il- lustratfon of their methods. No mat- ter how men may explain the cure, Jesus claimed that the power by which He restored the demoniac to soclety was divine. He placed great importance upon such cured, claiming that He performed them by the finger of God. Selfish interests always oppose every modern reform. The seifish citizens of the Gadarene county prefer- Ted profit upon hogs rather than see the demoniac ‘saved to soclety. This caused Jesus to leave the country and return to Capernaum. The restored man wished to go along with the Master, who ordered him to witness among his own townspeople and home Wwhat Jesus had done for him. While these foreigners rejected the Lord, He left them a preacher of the gospel whose life would be a livimg demon- stration of the helpfulness and heal- ing power of the Master. The peculiar manner in which the oor, afflicted women and the ralsthg: of Jairus' daughter are interwoven Wwith one another in the gospels clea: 117 proves we are dealing with fact In curing the demoniac Jesus proved His supremacy in the spiritual world. In raising the daughter of the ruler of the synagogue Christ demonstrated His power over death. In healing the poor. shrinking woman who had been made more timid by her long i1l ness, digappointed hopes of ever be- Ing cured and her extreme poverty Jesus proved that He could cure chronic cases that had baffled the physiclans of His day. The consider- ate treatment that the founder of Christianity %ave to women has re- sulted in the large place they hold today. Senator Felton owes her place that she occupied for a day in the Senate to the Master's attitude tow- ard women. Jesus was not seeking a_testimo- nial of her cure when He Insisted that she acknowledge her blessings. He wanted this poor soul, whose life was unclean ceremonially, so that she was a social and religious outcast, to know the power of His personality. He wanted the- one whose imperfect falth could secure instantaneous heal- inf% to have the oy of confession and greater blesaings as a result of her interview with Jesus. The spiritual and physical blessings were united t;elc‘ahuse there was in her genuine aith. Jairus had his faith tested while h watched the Lord's wayside healing ministry reach out toward the lowly. Christ called for him to “fear not and believe” when he was overcome by the message that the child that he loved was dead. His voice is the only one that has carried hope throughout the centuries to those who are called to walk {n the valley and shadow of death. He fills the world with hope to- iday concerning a future life, as did Jairus. 'His victory over death in the home of the religious leader was pro- phetic of His personal triumph over the grave and our victory, through Him, over death. Faith played an important part in all of these cures. Faith opens the way for us to be healed by Him of our sin and share ellowship In glory. . WILL TELL OF TURKS. ‘Woman Speaker, Born in Smyrna.
