A little more light on this subject.
According 10 the Dublin Freeman's
Journal. General Richardson, OF the
Carson Ulster Volunteers, and now
serving as General In the British
Army, said In addressing the Vo-
lunteers: II any man found himself
wayering let him try and recollect
the events OF last March and what
the British Army and Navy did for
Ulster. They came to listers help
In the day OF trouble, and they
would come again. II is now the
Ulster Volunteers opportunity to
show them their gratitude and sup
port them to the last man. When
war Is over and our men trained,
with vast field experience, VIZ will
return to the attack and relegate
Home Rule to the devil. This same
General says to the Nationalists'
Volunteers: The Army and Navy ara
against you, and though Home Rulo
Is nominally the Law of the land,
1t is a mere mockery. for they (Army
and Navy will enable us to prevent
the Act from being put into opera
ton.
"The Daily News, an English
newspaper, has called Lord Kitche-
ner's attention to the above speech
and said this would put a stop to
recruiting from the Nationalists and
Home Rulers, but this noble Lord
and signer Of the famous Covenant
to Guarantee the Army's and Nays
support to Ulster last spring. against
the Home Rule, and against the
British Government laws. gives a
deaf ear. If any Nationalist in Ire
land made such a speech he would
be put behind prison walls. We
remember last summer, when the
Nationalist Volunteers we're going
to arms, as their neighbors, the
Ulster Volunteers did, what was
done to them in the City Of Dublin.
The Kings own Scotch soldiers shot
down men, women and children in
the public streets. Some of these
who we're wounded are still In the
hospitals in Dublin. This Is Kitchener
law In Ireland, and yet some people
say, why don't Irishmen join the
British army, but | assure you no
Irishman will say this; only those
that are on the British payroll. Such
as John Redmond and his clique,
getting their f400 per, with all of
their relations also on the British
payroll. But thank God, the Irish
have pointed the finger of scorn at
the British coin hunters. Read what
the Belfast Weekly News says:
John Redmond has achieved a
glorious victory as a result Of his
recruiting trip through Ireland. he
has no fewer than four ~ Irish
Nationalist Volunteers enlisted into
the British Army, 4 men! How like
Mark Twain's army, in which every
man was a Major. However, it was
a start. Four men make one section
and 81 sections make a company, 4
companies a battalion. 4 batallions
a brigade, 4 brigades a division Of
10000 e Now then, where are
Redmond's Irish followers?"

General Court was held In 1929, on
board the Ship Arabella, moored In
Charles River. This Court resolved
that every, or any person eligible
to office, should be a member Of
their Church.
In 1884 Rev. Roger Williams,
Protestant, who had been a distin
guished minister at Plymouth, and
afterwards at Salem. was banished
from the Colony for holding many
exceptional tenets. He was enthu.
siastic in his sentiments and had in
great adherence every relic OF
popery, yet he was no prosecutor.
His declared opinion was, that to
punish q man for any matter of
conscience is persecution. This
Puritan bigotry kept up until the
great Irish Catholic, Lord Baltimore.
and his brother, Leonard Calvert.
and their Catholic Assemblymen
passed an Act Concerning religion,
in which the great principle OF
religious federation and liberty are
SO extensively recognized.
The following is an extract from
the act itself:
