Pastor Russell has become world
famous during the past thirty 1--WE
years through his outspoken antagon-
ism TO the teachings of a place of fire
and birthstone as the eternal home OF
the wicked. He declares the doctrine
contrary alike to reason and the Bible,
and blasphemous misrepresentation
OF the Divine character.
The so-calied higher critics have
also received from him severe and
trenchant criticism in his defense or
the old faith, and the modem college
has received its share OF censure. He
declares that while he believes that
the higher critics do much to clarity
facts concerning the Scriptures, he IL
nevertheless of the opinion that they
do more to destroy faith. The Bible,
he says, cannot be improved upon, and
the deeper one studies the greater will

THREE IRISH LABOR
LEADERS EXECUTED
P. H. Pearze, James Connolly
and One Unknown Faced
Firing Squad

London, May Announcement that
p II. Pearze, James Connolly and one
other Irish rebel leader had been ex-
ecuted was made by Premier Asquith in
the house of commons today just a mo-
ment after the resignation of Augustine
Birrell, chief secretary for Ireland, had
been made public.
Asquith stated that the three men
shot to death by a firing squad had
signed the proclamation announcing the
establishment of an Irish republic. This
statement eliminated the possibility of
Sir Roger Easement being the third man
killed, as his name was not attached to
the proclamation.
They were the first rebels whose ex.
ecution was publicly announced. All
Irish prisoners have been removed from
Dublin Three hundred, including sew
eral leaders, were brought to England
today. The remainder were taken to
Belfast under hes guard.
The swiftness Of the government IS
action was a surprise. There had been
no previous announcement of court
martial. Birrell's resignation was ex-
pected. He was forced from the cabinet
by a heavy fire from the newspapers
and public.
1t is understood that the designations
Of General Friend and Under Secretary
Nathan will follow. All rebels are be-
ing tried with great rapidity. 1t is be-
lieved that the rebels who fought in
the ranks will be leniently treated.
No official information was obtain
able as to the course the government
may take with regard to Irish rebel
prisoners who have been brought to
England for trial 1t was pointed out
that in the Boer revolt and the recent
indian mutinies only the leaders were
executed. Those in the ranks were len
nently dealt with.
1t was intimated that the third rebel
executed signed the proclamation of an
Irish republic Following are those who
signed that document besides Connolly
and Pearce:
Thomas j. Clarke, sean MncDlarmad,
thomas McDonOugh, Lamon Coaunt and
james Plunkett.
Other signers of the Irish republic
proclamation were sentenced to three
years imprisonment.
Pearze was a highly educated man,
head master of a boys school in Dub
lin at the time of the outbreak. He
led the assault on the postoffice which
resulted in its capture. On Thursday of
last week he was wounded in the leg
and surrendered unconditionally. Later
he issued a proclamation calling for his
followers to drop their arms.
Connolly was also wounded. His name
was found signed to number of pass
ports discovered on prisoners, with the
title, Commander Of the Army Of the
Irish Republic. 4"
