Lenasn. May Is.-Jeremiah g.
Lynch. Of New York. a naturaiined
cftfsen Of the United States, has
been tried BY eourt-martial, con-
vfeteA and sentenced to death In
Dublin. He was charged with par
tfcfpatfne In the Irish rebellion.
The news that he had been tried and
convicted was received at the Ameri-
can embassy this afternoon. 1t was
not until late tonight, however. that
Information came that he was SEN
fenced to be shot at o'clock tomorrow
friday morning. This IL II o'clock
Washington time.
The announcement created a pro-
found sensation. Immediately word
was received that Lynch was to be
executed, Ambassador Page got into
communication with Secretary Lansing
In Washington. Before IL was known
that such extreme measures werc to be
taken In Lynch's case. several cable
messages had been received from the
United States protesting against the
imposition of sentence upon Lynch. 1t
was not known until today that Lynch
was a participant in the rebellion, al.
though he had incurred the displeas-
ure of the authorities because of his
activities in the Irish cause Soon
after the rebellion. 1t was announced
that he had been prohibited from leav-
ing the five-mile zone of Dublin. This
prohibition was made under the sde.
Tense of the realm act.
AS a rule. It Is only applied to hos
tile aliens, but 1t can also be extended
to friendly aliens. 1t was applied to
Lynch because, II was alleged, he had
been making trips to Western Ireland,
presumably for the purpose of arous-
ing the Irish to revolt.
Lynch was born In Ireland. but left
there at the age of twenty years Sew
eral years ago he returned. and since
then he has been engaged in the insur-
ance business in Cork.
Because of his activities in the Irish
cause, Lynch has been under surveil-
lance by the authorities for some time
prior to the revolt.

THE INFLUENCE OF EASTER.
Everybody Needs the Message, "Rise to

No one may account himself free
from the spiritual teaching of Easter

Christian faith concerning it romantic,

less is the practical, Personal truth
emphasized, that everyday needs the
message of Easter, Rise to Newness

Is he in all respects the noble being
he would have his friends consider
him? Is his influence always on the
side of that which is high and true?
If man is only that which God
knows him to be is there not room for
Improvement in every ones life? Self
examination and honest, sober
thought will surely teach every one Of
us that there are nobler aims, purer
motives, higher attachments than any
which we have ever heretofore known,
for the eXhOrtation has to do not only
with private, personal character, but
with domestic conduct, social relation

works of darkness and put upon us
the armor of light, laying aside much

of breathing a purer atmosphere and

cumulatively, the dictum of Christian

life conquered by death and
death conquered again by life. Those
were the mysteries over which the
men of old time thought, often till
their hearts We're sad.
And because our forefathers were a
sad and earnest folk, because they
lived in sad and dreary climate
where winter was far longer and more
bitter than it is, thank God, now
therefore, all their thoughts about win

grew to despair at last of life ever con,

And then-so strangely does Gods
gift of hope linger in the hearts of
men-they saw beyond all that dim
dream of a new heaven and a new
earth in which should dwell righteous
ness, and of a new sun, more beauti-
full than ours; of a woman called
Life hid safe while all the world
around her was destroyed, fed ON the
morning dew, preserved to be the
mother of new and happier race of
men. And so to them, heathens as
they were, God whispered that Christ

mortality to light.

the life more than meat? There is an
eternal life, which depends not on
earthly food, but on the will and work
of God, your Father, and that life in
