I. The . outgrowth of persecution.
Persecution was the first means of
propagating the gospel. Three distinct
lines of expansion started from the
dispersion of the Jerusalem church,
Philip's Mission to Samaria, Peter's
mission to Cornelius and the work at
Antioch. The very efforts to cruel),
the gospel gave it new vigor andevider
spread. The fugitives did not flee from
the cause they had espoused nor relax
their efforts to advance it. It was on
account of the proportions to which
their work had grown and tee fame
of it that travelled to Jerusalem, that
Barnabas was sent to Antioch to, ine
lebored for tlie Gentiles. The con-
version of Corneliue had prepared the
church at Jerusalem for such tidings
' as they received from Antioch. They
Elbowed their sympathy foe the work
by sending such a man as Barnabas.
As a eepresentative of the church at
Jerusalem, his approval would give the
v ork i new impetus, a beiug clone
under the sanction of the mother
church. Barnabas held tbe unique
position that both the chum at Jeru-
salem and the people of Antioch had
claims upon him. Ho was in sympa-
thy with both. It was the. Greeks who
were being received 'from beyond the
strict borders of the old race. The
events at Antioch could not well be
mistaken. The gospel had been
ereached there to the heathen with
great power and success. 13arnabas

reained to co-operate. He had energy
to contribute, an influence to exert.
He did not waste his joy in idle con-
templation. He rejoiced to belielei the
growing establishment of the church
of Cluist. It was a triumph of Chris-
tian principle to recognize the grace
of God under new forms and in so

convictions which Jewish Citristiane

bring into the foregiound the man who
was to be the means of doing such a
work as Paul accomplished for man-
kind. Antioch was a new capital for
Christianity with altogether dentile
modal ons.
II, The origin of foreign missions.
We here lose sight for a time of the-
' church at Jerusalem and the apostles
while Antioch becomes the centre of
church history and missionary activi-
ties. It was a centre Of commanding
eufluence in spreading the gospel. The
church was in suitable condition to
hear the Uivine call. They were offer-
ing their services to the Lord and he
designated what their services should
be. There was a new 'departure in
the policy ot the church, Here boon

eign 1111SSions. The principles which
made It proper to preach the gospel at
Antioeh made it proper to -preach
It everywhere. The. appointment.- of
Barnabas and Saulwas an important
event in each of their lives. They were
to be solemnly set apart for their
special work. The Lord did not re-
quire the Mitten to cripple itself for
the sake of Missions. The fordo of
the chtirch were growing. Saul had
been chosen for tbe work, but the
Holy Spirit had finally to give the
word of 'command and direction. Ire

'church to make mitward and formal

When Small Minority Near-

London Cable. --My ;first feeling
on hearing • of thie insane movement
was one of horror and discourage-
meut, almost of despair. I asked my-
self whether Ireland, as so often be-
fore in her tragic hietory, was to dash
the cup of liberty from her lips; was
the insanity of a small section of her
people once again to turn all ilea -mar-
vellous victories of the last few years
into irreparable defeat, and send her
back on the very eve of her final
recognition . as .a free nation into
another long night of slavery, incal-
culable suffering and weary, uncertain
struggle?
For look at the Irish Position to-
day. In the short space of forte; years
she by constitutional movement has
made almost unbrokenly a triumphant
March from pauperism and slavery
to prosperity and freedom. She has
won back the possession of Irish land.
She has stayed immigration. She at
last has begun an era of national pres-
perity. Finally, she has suceeded in
Placing on the statute book the great-
est charter of freedom ever offered
her since the days of the creation. Is
all this to be. lost?
When the war came she made her
choice, which was inevitable if she
was to be true to all the principles
which she has held through. all his -
namely, the rights of small nations
and the eacred principles of nation-
ality, liberty and democracy.
Moreover, the nations for wilich

It is the opinion which thousands of
Irish soldiers ha,ve sealed with -their
blood in dying for the cause of liberty
in "Ireland and the world. 13ut, any-
how, it was the opiaion of Ireland,
and surely I need not argue the prin-
ciple, especially with anybody who
professes himself to be a Home Ruler.
GERMANY'S CATSPAW.
That the policy of Ireland must be
decided by Ireland herself -that is
the principle which bas been accept-
ed by the Irish race everywhere. The
millions of our people in the United
States and elsewhere whose generous
devotion has helped us so largely to
win our victories for the Motherland
have they denied the right or Ireland
to -choose her policy for herself. That
doctrine has been contested only by
the very same men who to -day have
tried to make Ireland a catspaw of
Germany.
In all our long and successful strug-
gle to obtain Home Rule we have
been thwarted and opposed by that
same section. We won Home Rule,
not through them, but in spite of
them. This wicked move of theirs was
their last blow at Home Rule. It was
not half as much treason to the cause
of the allies as treaeon to the cause
of Horne Rule.
This attempted deadly blow at
Home Rule • carried on through this
section is made more wicked, more
insolent by this fact, that Germany
has plotted it, Germany organized, it,
Germany paid for it. *So far as Ger-
many's share in it is concerned, it
Is a German invasion of Ireland as
brutal, as selfish and as inimical as
Germany's invasion of Belgium; and
if Ireland has not been reduced to the
Same horrors as Belgium, with her
starving people, her massacred priests,
her violated convents, it is not the
fault of GermanY.
REMAIN.ED SAFE IN AMERICA.
And the final aggravation of the
movemeht is this: the misguided, in-
sane young men who have taken part
in this movement in Ireland have
risked and some of them have lost
their lives. But what -am I to say
of these Men who have sent them
into this insane, anti -patriotic move-
ment while they remained safe in the
remoteness of American cities?
I Might add that this movement
has been set in motion by this same
class of men at the very moment
when America is demanding repara-
tion for the blood of innocent Ameri-
can men, women and children shed
by Germany, and thus are guilty of
double treason, to the generous land
that received them as well as to the
land which gave them birth.
Was there ever such a picture of
the tragedy which a small section of
an Irish faction has so often inflict-
ed on the fairest hopes and the brav-
est deeds of Ireland?
As to the final result, I do riot be-
lieve that this wicked and insane
movement will achieve its ende. The
German plot has failed. The major-
ity of the people of Ireland retain
their calmness, their fortitude and
their unity. They abhor this attack
on their interests, on their rights,
hopes and principles. Nome rule has
not been destroyed. It remains inde-
structible.

London Cables -The following
description of the revolt in Dublin
was given by an eye -witness who
reached England from Dublin hest
night: •
"The first incident of the outbreak
was a sudden firing ot musketry in St.
Stephen's Green about midday on
Monday, which startled the populace..
The streets rapidly filled with people
rushing out to see what had happen-
ed,.
"Soon more shots were heard on
Sackville street. 'Soldiers and mem-
bers of the Royal Irish Constabulary
were being fired at from windows of
houses. Much glass was being broken
by the shots.
"At 12.30 o'clock the Sinn Fein flag
tie run up on the post,office. Rebels
inside the building took possession
of it, and allowed their comrades to
march in. There was no military or
civil guard, to overcome them. Most
of the employees of the post office
were turned out of the building, girls
an well as men, at the point of the
bayonet. In sorae cases muzzles of
revolvers were held at their heads.
"Several persons were kelled or
wounded here. Two mounted consta-
bles were shot dead. Sackviile street
became the chief centre of excitement.
"It was noticed that the crowds, as
a whole, were decidedly antagonistic
to the rebels, but they were cowed by
the rebels' show of force. The few
scidiers and members of the ponce
who were about sought shelter, wher-
ever they could, when they saw the
Sinn Feiners, several hundred strong,
marching about the town.
"Having cut the telegraph and tele-
phone wires, the rebels posted men in
windows and on roofs, and constantly
fired on the soldiers and police. In-
eide the post office building barricades
of tables and desks soon were thrown
up. None of the employees seem to
have offered resistance, The Repub-
lican flag was hoisted soon after noon.
"The rebels wore ordinary civilian
clifoitelste.s and carried old-fashioned

"The rebele also took possession of
a public house near Portobello bar-
acks, and constantly fired from it.
This stronghold enervate& wai cap-
tured by the military with the aid
of a machine gun.

GRIEF IN LONDON
Capitulation of a British
Force is an Event That
is Very Rare.
London, April 30. -After holding
out for nearly five months the British
army under MaiereGeherel Charles
V. Townshend, whleh had been be-
sieged by Turkish armies at Kut -el -
Amara, has beets compelled to sur-
render bemuse of the exhaustion of
supplies.
In the °Metal announcement of the
surrender which was issued yester-
day afternoon, it is stated that Ma-
jer-Gteieral Townshend's army con-
sisted of only 2,070 Britisn troops and
3,000 Indian troops.
To prevent the Turktih forces from
capturing them, till the British guns
and ammunition were destroyed be-
fore Genera Towesnen1 surrendered.
The surrender of a Britisli army is
an event of very ram occurrence, end
much sorrow wee eallsed in London
by the announcement,
'1 he following official atinfatnee-
tient 'was Made;
"After a reeistaree Protrneted ter
143 days and conducted with a gal-
lantry and fortitude that Will be for-
ever memorable, General Townshend

The capitulation, at Kut -el -Amara,
is the first instance in the present
war, and one of 'the few occasions
in. more than a eentury of wars, in
which a British garrison besieged by
the enemy has been forced to sur -
ruder. The British forces surrend-
ered to the Turks after ineffectual
attempts had been made to rush sup-
plies of food to their camp.
General Townshend probably was
driven to surrender to avoid starve -
tion of his forces. A recent official
Turkish communication said that the
position of the British at Kutel-
Amara was critical, and that they
were expecting to receive small stip-
plies of food by aeroplane. An of-
ficial statement received yesterday
from London showed that a last ea
fort to Send supplies to the garrison
had failed. It wae announced that it
ship ladea with supplies had been
grounded about four miles east of the
city.

Less than it score of miles away, on
the banks of the Tigris below the
city, is a relief army, which for
months had been attempting to reach
the besieged forces of General Town-
shend.
Thielorce encountered compare-
tively little opposition in the early
stages of the march up the river, but
aa it drew nearer Kut -el -Amara it
was opposed by formidable bodies of
Turks, who were massed en both
sides of the Tigris below the invested
town. Several striking. victories for
the relief force have been countered
by the Turks so successfully that the
advance has been stopped. The Turks,
taking the offensive, pushed back the
British and inflicted great losses on
m.
A few weeks ago several victories
were announced and hopes ran high in
England that the mission would suc-
ceed. Of late, however, the Turks'
resistance has increased, and, aided
by floods they. have been able to -hold
the British in check.
No official figures have been given
out as to the number of troops which
set forth from the Persian Gulf in
November of 1914 on the expedition
which has now ended in surrender.
BESIEGED SINCE DECEMBER.
It was early in December of last
year that Gen. Townshend's army re-
treated to Kut -el -Amara. Since that
time it has been bsieged by a large
army of Turks, cut off from all com-
munication with the outside world,
except by wireless. During the long
siege the British beat off many at-
tacks by the Turks. They derended
themselves so successfully in encoun-
ters about the city that the Turks at
length desisted from their efforts to
take the place by storm and decided
to starve out the British.
From time to time Gen. Townshend
sent reports that all was well, but it
has been known of late that the situa-
tion was becoming a desperate one
for the British.
For some time after the Townshend
expedition started out from the Per-
sian Gulf, it was steadly successful.
Et pushed up the Tigris -and Euphrates
till, in September, of 1915, it de-
feated the Turks decisively in an en-
counter at Kut -el -Amara which later
was • to be the scene of the British
surrender. Then the invaders push-
ed on -to within a few miles of Bag
dad, their goal. They defeated the
Turks at Ctesiphon, but later the
Turks, reinforced, compelled them to
retire hastily to- Kut-el-Amaya.
The battle at •Ctesiphon was one of
the fiercest of the many hard. strug-
gles in which the expeditionary force
was engaged. The British were said
to 'have been outnumbered GiX times
by the Ottoman troops. Four times
Gen. Townshend rallied his men and
led them in their charges. Hardly
less desperate a. venture was the re-
treat to Kut -el -Amara, which, accom-
plished under extraordinary disad-
vantages, was hailed in England as a.
remarkable achievement. Not only did
Gen. Townshend ward. off the pursn-
ing Turks with comparatively f•nall
losses, but be succeeded in taking
with him all his wounded.
A few weeks after it became evident
that the army at Kut -el -Amara vould
be unable to fight its way old a relief
expedition was despatched.
Throughout the Mesopotamian
campaign the fighting has been heavy
and the losses most severe. On April
1.4th it evas admitted that the Tigris
army up to th-at time had lost 8,100
men, Since then there have been
several important battles between the
Turks and the relief expedition,
The surrender of General Town -
Wend is one. of the few instances.of
the war in which an entire fighting
unit of ,itoportant members has laid
down its ants,
Up to the last General' Townehend
kept alive the hope that he Would be
relieved. Xing George vent a mes-
sage of etieouragement to him a
month ago, and in a message sent on
April 7 the general said he etpeetrd
to be relieved shortly. Ile assured the
British expedition that he 'W.ould hold
out to the limit of endurance, but the
remit reverses suffered by the army
whieh was attempting to rescue him
apparenty tnede the situation a hope-
ese one.
The elesopotamitt campaign has
been one of the most difficult the
'British army has undertaken during
the war. The ;torrid Climate and 'lack
of fresh water, together with the dif-
ficulties of transport, made greet
calls on the endurance of the troops,
Moreover, the positions held by the
Turks below Kut -el -Amara, entrench-
ect mut strongly fortified. were Moot
formidable. The 'original Medi-
