CHAPTER III. " r
The Irish Patriot.
SO far no i;an in the little walled
in zone she bail lived in had
ever stirred Angela to un even
momentary cutliusi.-iMii. Tliey
Vvore all so fatuously contented v i 1 1 1
llieir envirouinent. Sheltered from
birth, their anxiety was eliieily how
lo make life pass the pleasautest.
They occasionally showed :i spasmodic
txcitement over the progress of a
iricket or polo match. Their achieve
ments were largely those tf the stay
tit home warriors who fought with
tin o,uill what others faced death with
the sword for. Their inertia disgusted
her. Their self satisfaction spurred
her to resentment.
Here was a man i:i the real heart of
life. lie was engaged in a struggle
that makes existence worth while the
tffort to bring a message t his pcop:e.
Then arose a picture of lier sister.
Monica, with her piny social preten
tious recognition of those in a high
er grade, bread and meat and drink to
her; adulation and gross Mattery, the
very breath of her nostrils; her broth
er's cheap, narrow platitudes about the
rights of rank and wealth.
The memory of her mother was the
only link that bound her to her child
hoodthe gentle, uncomplaining spir
it of her, the unsellish nhucgution of
her, the soul's tragedy of Her, giving
up her life at the altar of duty at the
bidding of a hardened despot.
She was roused from her self search-'
ing thoughts by the doctor's voice and
the touch of his hand.
"(loodby for the present. Miss Kings
north. Sure it's in good hands I'm
laviu him. Rut for you he'd be lyin"
in the black jail with old Dr. Costelio
glaiiii" down at him with his gimlet
eyes."
Angela snt down r.t a little distance
from the sickbod and watched the
wounded man. His lace was drawn
with pain. His eyes were closed. But
lie was not sleeping. His lingers lock
ed and unlocked. His lips moved. He
opened his eyes and looked at her.
"You need not stay here." he said.
"Would you rather I didn't V"
, "Wiry did you bring me here?"
"To make sure your wounds were
attended to."
"Your brother is a landlord 'Kings
north, the absentee landlord.' we used
to call your father as children. And
I'm in his .sou's house. I'd betther be
in jail than here."
"You mustn't think that."
"You've brought me hero to humil
iate me to humiliate mo!"
" "No. To care for you, to protect
you."
"Protect me?''
"If 1 can."
"That's strange."
"I hoard you speak today." She
paused. "You mustn't go to prison."
"It's the lot of every Irislnr.au today
who says what he thinks."
"It mustn't be yours! It mustn't T'
Angela's voice rose in her distress.
She repeated: "It mustn't! I'll appeal
to my brother to stop it."
"If he's anything like his father it's
small heed he'll pay to your pleading.
The poor wretches here appealed to
old Kingsnorth in famine and sickness
not for help, mind ye. just for a lit
tle time to pay their rents and the
only answer they ever got from him
was 'Pay or go!' "
"I know, I know!" Angela replied.
"And many n time when I was a child
my mother and I cried over it"
: lie looked at her curiously. "You and
yer mi thor cried over us?"
"Wo did. Indeed wo'did."
. "They say the heart of England Is In
Its womankind. But they have noth
ing to do -with her laws."
"Thy will have some day."
"It'll be a long time cumin", I'm
thinkin'. If they take so long to free
a whole conn try how long do ye sup
pose it'll take; them to I re; a whole sex
and the female one at that?"
"It will come!' she said resopitely.
"And you cried over Ireland's sor
rows V"
'. "As a child and as a woman." said
Angela.
"And ye've gone about here tryin to
help them, too. haven't ye?"
"I could do very little."
"Well, the spirit Is then and the
heart Is there. If they hadn't liked you
it's the sorry time majbe your brother
would have."
lie paused again, looking at her in
tently, while his fingers clutched the
coverlet convulsively as if to stifle a
cry of pain.
"May I ask ye yer name?" he gasped.
"Angela." she said, almost in a whis
per. "Angela." he repeated. "Angela!
It's well nnmcd ye are. It's the inin
isterin angel ye've been dmvn here
to the people and to me."
'Don't' talk say more hot. Rest "
' Rest, is it. with all the tbruuble In
the wurrld beatin' in me brain and 1
throbbiu' in as heart?" .

- J. Hartley. Manners
' "Try to sleep until the doctor comes
tonight."
He lay back and closed his ey i
Angela sat perfectly still.
In a few minutes he opened them
again. There was a new light in his
eyes and a smile on bis lips.
"Ye beard me speak, did ye?"
"Yes."
"Where were ye?"
"Above you. behind a bank of trees."
A playful smile played around his
Fips as tie said, "It was a good speech,
wasn't it?"
"I thought it wonderful," Angela an
swered. "And what were yer feelin's listen
in' t a man urgin the people against
yer own country?"
"I felt 1 wanted to stand beside you
and echo everything you said."
"Did you?" And his eyes bjazed and
his voice rose.
"You spoke as some prophet speak
ing from you. L'veu in his 'last will
and testament' my father proved him
self a Kingsnorth. It was only a
Kingsnorth could make his youngest
daughter dependent on you!"
"My father knew I would respect his
wishes."
"lie was equally responsible for me.
yet he leaves me to your care i Kings
north! The men masters andfeJe wom
en slaves! That is the Kingsnorth
doctrine."
A servant came in to tell Angela the
doctor had come. Without a word An
gela went out to see to the wounded
man. The servant followed her.
Let alone, Nathaniel sat down, shock
ed and stunned, to review the inter
view he had just had' with his young
er sister.
When Angela entered tile sickroom
she found Dr. McCinnis. a cheery,
bright eyed, rotund little man of fifty,
talking' freely to the patient and punc
tuating each speech with a hearty
laugh. His good humor was infec
tious. The wounded agitator felt the effect
of it and was trying to laugh feebly
himself.
"Sure it's the fine target ye must
have made with yer six feet and one
inch. How could the poor soldiers
help hittin' ye? Answer me that!"
And the jovial doctor laughed again
as he dexterously wound a bandage
around O'Conne'i's arm.
"Aisj- now while I tie the bandage,
me fine fellow. Ye'Il live to see the
inside of an English jail yet."
He turned as he heard the door open
and greeted Angela.
"Good afternoon to ye. Miss Kings
north. Faith, it's a Wessin ye brought
the boy here. There's no tellin' what
the prison surgeon would have done
to him. It is saltpeter, they tell me,
the English doctors rub into the Irish
wounds to kape them smartin. And.
by the like token, they do the same,
ten. in the English house of commons.
Saltpeter in Ireland's wounds is what
they give us."
"Is he mu h hurt?" asked Angela.
"Well, they've broken nothin'. Just
blackened bis face and made a few
holes in his skin. It's buckshot they
used. I'.uckshot! Thank the merciful
Mr. Foster for that same. 'Buckshot
Foster,' as the Irish reverently call
him."
"What a dastardly thing to do!" she
tried..
"Ye may well say that, Miss Kings
north." said the merry little doctor.
"But it's betther than a bullet from a
Martini Henry rifle, that's what it is.
And there's many a poor English land
lord's got one of 'em In the hack for
ridin about at night on his own land.
It's a fatherly government we have.
Miss Kingsnorth. 'Hurt 'era, but don't
quite kill em,' sez they, 'and then put
'em in jail and feed them on bread
and wather. That'll take the fine talk
in' and patriotism out of them,' sez
they."
"They'll never take it out of me.
They may kill me perhaps, but until
they do they'll never silence me." mur
mured O'Connell In a voice so low, yet
so bitter, that it startled Angela.
"Ye'll do that all in good time, mo
fine boy." said the busy little doctor.
"Here, take a pull at this." and he
handed the patient a glass in which he
had dropped a few crystals into some
water.
Dr. McGinnis said in a whisper to
Angela:
"Let him have that every three
hours; oftener if he wants to talk.
We've got to get his mind at rest."
"There's no danger?" asked Angela
in the same tone.
"None in the wurrld.- He's got a
fin- constitution, and mebbe the buck
shot was pretty clean. I've washed
them out well."
"To think of men shot down like
dogs for speaking of their country!
It's .horrible! It's wicked! It's mon
strous!" "Faith, the Euglish don't know what
el;e to do with tbem. miss. It's no uss
arguin' with the like of him. That
man lyin' on that bed .'ud talk the
EART
hind foot oa a heifer. The only way
to kape The likes of him quiet is to
shoot him, and begob they have."
"I heard you, doctor." came from the
bed. "If they'd killed me today there
would lie. a thousand voices rise all
over Ireland to take the place of mine."
"Faith. II rather kape" me own life
than to have a hundred thousand
spakin" for me and me dead. Is it
long yer stay-in" here?" ami the little
man picked up his hat.
"I don't know." said Angela.
"Well, it's you they'll, miss when
ye're gone. Miss Kingsnorth. Faith,
if all the English were like you this
sort of thing couldn't happen."
v "We don't try to understand the
people, doctor. We just govern them
blindly and ignorantly."
"Faith, it's small blame to the Eng
lish. We're a mighty hard race to
make head or tail of. and that's a
fact cryin' salt tears at the bedside of
a sick child and lavin' to shoot a poor
man in the ribs for darln' to ask for.
his rint."
"They're not Irishmen." came from
the sickbed.
"Faith, and they are. now. And it's
small wondher the men who sit in
Whitehall in London trate them like
savages."
"I've seen things since I've been
here that would justify almost any
thing!" cried Angela. "I've seen suf
fering no one in England dreamed of;
misery that London, with all its pov
erty and wretchedness, could not com
pare with. Were I born in Ireland I
utiooiil !e proixl t't -.i;e my liberty
ntul my iife to protect my own people
from such horrible brutality."
The wounded man opened his eyes
nnd looked full at Angela. It was a
look at onct of gratitude and rever
ence and admiration.
Her heart leaped within her.

The Resurrection of Christ Bible
Clear and Harmonious on the Sub
ject Theory of Body Resurrection
Unreasonable "Flesh and Blood Can
not Inherit th Kingdom v of God."
Natural Men Cannot Appreciate Spir
itual Things, Says the Bible.
New York City,
April 4. Pastor
Hussell addressed
large audiences
today. We report
one of his dis
courses, from the
text, "With what
body do they
come?" (1 Corin
thians 15:35.) He
said in part:
In our context
St. Taul discusses
the resurrection.
and sliows that without God's purpose
to restore the dead to life those who
have fallen asleep in death would have
perished as do brute beasts. Then he
assures us that Christ has risen and
"become the First-fruits of those that
slept" Others, indeed, were awak
ened temporarily; for instance, the
daughter of Jairus, the son of the
widow of Xain, and Lazarus the friend
of Jesus. Yet none of these instances
Is counted as a resurrection; for it is
said that Christ is the First-fruits of
them that slept. Their awakening was
merely of a temporary nature, and they
soon relapsed into the sleep of death.
They did not have a full resurrection
anastasisa raising up to perfection of
life, such as the redemptive work of
Jesus guarantees to Adam and to all
his race willing to accept the same un
der the terms of the New Covenant.
Jeremiah 31:31-34.
The Scriptures clearly teach that It
Li not the body, but the soul, that is
promised a resurrection that it was
our Lord's soul that went to Sheol, to
Hades, to the death state, and that
Cod raised Him from death on tho
third day. All Christendom has been
plunged into diflieulties by the uu
scriptural theory that it Is the body
which is to be resurrected. We shall
now note a few of the difficulties into
which this error has plunped us as be
lievers in the words of Christ, partic
ularly in connection with our Redeem
er's resurrection.
What Vent to Heaven?
The ordinary thought in Christian
minds in respect to our Lord's death
and resurrection is that when lie seem
ed to die He did not die; that He, the
being, soul, could not die; that, in
stead, He went to Heaven, and then
came baCk on the third day to get the
body which had been crucified; that
He took It to Heaven forty days later;
that He has had that body ever since:
and that He will have it to all eternity,
marred with the print of the nails in
His hands and Ills feet, with the print
of the thorns upon His brow, and with
the spear mark in ilia side. What a
ghastly thought!
How strange that we should have
been misled into so uuscriptural and
unreasonable a theory! Some endeav
or to gloss the matter by suggesting
that our Lord's flesh is glorified that
it .shines the shining presumably mak
ing the wounds all the more conspicu
ous. Our Methodist friends have not yet
changed their statement of the matter;
namely. "He ascended up on High,
taking His fleshly body with Him and
all that appertained thereto, and sat
down on the right hand of God." This
medieval statement correctly admits
that the fleshly body was not the
Lord's glorified body, but declares that
He, the soul, took it with Him as lug
gage. The statement, "and all that ap
pertained thereto," presumably would
refer to our Lord's sandals, walking
stick, and such clothing as the soldiers
did not divide 'amongst themselves at
tho time of His crucifixion if indeed
He had any others! Butt our dear
Methodist friends wish to be sure that
nothing was left behind.
All this is of a piece with the theory
that when the saints die tbey go to
Heaven, nnd return later to get their
bodies "and nil things appertaining
rhereto" the inconwuiences that they
have been rid of for centuries! How
many trnnkloads of "things appertain
ing thereto" may be taken by some,
and how mixed an assortment by oth
ers, is not stated. Neither are partic
ulars given respecting these whose
clothing, etc., have meantime worn out.
P.ut we have had enough of this. If It
has helped us to see tho absurdities
of our theories received from the Dark
Ages. If it has awakened us to thought
and to Bible investigation on this im
portant and interesting subject.
What Say the Scriptures?
The Bible presentation of this mat
ter is in every way reasonable, consist
ent and harmonious. St. Paul points
out that "there Is a natural body and
there is a spirit body." ' He does not
mean, and he does not ::y. that the
spirit Iwdy Is n human body glorified.
Quite to the contrary, he declares that
"flesh and blood cannot Inherit the
Kingdom of God" no matter how glo
rified it might be.v A human being Is
so totally different from a spirit being
that, as St. John says, "it doth not yet
appear what we shall be" In onr resur
rection'change: and the scriptures do
not attempt to give us an explanation.
The Bible merely declares that as we
now bear the image of the earthy.
Adam, we shall by the glorious resr.r
rcction change be given a share In tin;
nature and likeness of the Second
Adam, our glorious Lord. We shall
be like Dim and see Ilini as He is (1
John 3:2.) And be it noted, we must
be changed from llesh and blood con
ditions to spirit conditions by resur
rection power, in order that we may
see Him as He is. Surely this fact
proves that our Lord Jesus is no long
er flesh, as lie was once "in the days
of Ills flesh." Hebrews 5:7.
Heavenly Bodies Versus Earthly Bodies.
St. Paul calls attention to the dif
ference between celestial bodies and
terrestrial, or earthly bodies, and de
clares that they have different glories
He tells us that the first Adam was
made a living soul, a human being;
but that our Itefieemer, who humbled
Ilimself and took the earthly nature
vfor the suffering of death," thereby
became the Secoud Adam the Heav
enly Lord. The wide distinction be
tween the first Adam and the Second
Adam is clearly set forth. One was
earthy, and the other Heavenly. As
we now loar the image of the earthy,
we shall, if faithful, bear the Heavenly
image of our Lord, the Second Adam,
after our resurrection change.
St Tanl illustrates by saying that
we know of many kinds of organisms
on the earthy piano one flesh of man,
another cf beasts, another of birds and
another of fishes. But however differ
ent the organisms, they are all earthy.
So on the Heavenly plane, the spirit
plane, there are varieties of organisms,
but all are spirit.
Our Heavenly Father is the Head
or Chief "God is a Spirit." Cherubim,
seraphim, and the still lower orders of
angels are all spirit beings; and Christ,
our Itedeenier, after finishing the work
of sar-ificing appointed to Iliiu. was
re8nrrected to the Spirit plane far
above angels, principalities and powers
next to the Father. (Ephesians 1:20
23.) Thus we read. "Now the Ixrd is
that Spirit"; and again, "lie was put to
death in the flesh, but quickened made
alive in the spirit." 2 Corinthians
3:17; 1 Peter 3:1S.
The more we examine the subject,
the more foolish and unscriptural ajv
pear the views handed down to us from
the Dark Ages. For instance, the
Scriptures clearly set forth that our
Redeemer, prior to becoming a man.
was a spirit being "the Only Begot
ten of the Father, full of grace and
truth." Ills leaving the spirit plane to
become a ma is Scripturally described
as a great stoop, or humiliation. Is. it
reasonable to suppose that the Heav
enly 'Father would perpetuate to all
eternity that humiliation, after it had
served its purpose? Surely not!
The P.ible tells us why Jesus hum
bled Himself to the human nature "a
little lower than the anyels." It was
because a man had sinned, and tho Re
deemer must, under the Law, be on
the same plaue as the one whom He
would redeem. Thus Jehovah partic
ularly specified, "An eye for an eye. a
tooth for a tooth, a life for a life."
Hence the death of an angel or of our
LcrJ in His pre-human condition could
not have effected the payment of man's
penalty nnd the consequent release of
the condemned race. Thus again wo
read. "A -body hat Thou prepared Me."
"for the suffering of death." Hebrews
lO:.-
.0.
No one questions that this applies
exclusively to our Lord's cxirrieiices
during the years In which "He who
was rich became poor for our sakes.
that we through His poverty might be
made rich." Surely it is uusupposabla
that the Father would arrange a Plan
by which our Redeemer's faithfulness
in accomplishing man's redemption
would cost Him an eternity of poverty,
humiliation, degradation to a plane "a
litt'e lower than the angels": while the
Church would be made rich and would
attain a spirit state "far above angels"
be made partakers of the Divine na
ture. 2 Peter 1:4.
'God Hath Highly Exalted Him."
On the contrary, the very same Apos
tle who tells us of our Lord's humilia
tion carries the matter to the climax,
and tells us of His faithfulness, as the
Man Christ Jesus, "unto death, even
the death of the cross." Then he adds
an assurance of the Heavenly Father's
faithfulness in not leaving His Son on
a lower plane: "Wherefore God also
highly exalted Him, aud hath given
Him a uame above every name."
rhilippians 2:0.
This is in harmony with our Lord's
words in Ills prayer to the Father. A
Joy had been set before Him the joy
of pleasing the Father, of bringing a
blessing to mankind, and also of exal
tation, as a special reward for obedi
ence. But the Redeemer, ignoring all
tho promises of a higher Rlory as n re
ward for His faithfulness, merely
prayed to the Father in these words,
"Father, glorify Thou Me with the
glory which I had with Thee before
the world was." In humility He ask
ed no reward. lie did not pray. Re
member that You promised a still
greater exaltation in glory! No; He
would be quite content to serve the
Father's pu"poscs and plans, and then
to return to the glorious state in which
He was before He left the glory and
for our sakes became poor, taking upon
Ilimself the human nature.
And what said the Heavenly Father
In response to that prayer? Oh. we
remember that Jehovah's words were.
"I have glorified Thee, and I will glori ,
fy Thee again, or further the impli
cation is that of a still lusher glory
than the one which He enjoyed before
He was made flesh.
He Appeared ar.d Disappeared.
Two lines cf difficulties present them
selves, one of which can be ans-wered
and the other cannot The uuanswera-
Drc cmncnity 13 wncre a- rt.-rrrrm i-rrnna-ed
man undertakes to reason the sub
ject out He finds it impossible of
comprehension, as he finds other items
of Divine revelation. St. Taul explains
this, saying, "The natural man receiv
eth not the things of the Spirit of God,
neither can he know them, because
they are spiritually discerned." The
Apostle proceeds to tell u.s tliat all
men are natural men except such as
have been begotten again by the Holy
Spirit. All. natural men will, in their
resurrection, receive earthly, or human
bodies; while all spiritual ones. New
Creatures in Christ, will receive spirit
bodies, as St. Tanl explains in our con
text. Verses 30-50.
Not all of my hearers can appreciate
this ouly such as have received the
begetting of the Holy Spirit Others,
therefore, I will ask to consider what
I say and to hold it. if they please,
tentatively, until such time as in God's
providence they may be begotten of
the Spirit, and thus be enabled to un
derstand spiritual matters, such as this.
Another class who have difficulty on
this subject are spirit-begotten, but
have been entangled in their reasoning
by the declaration of the creeds re
spect ins the resurrection of the body.
It is ditlicult to unlearn error. When
visiting foreign lands and learning of
the hold of superstition upon the heath
en. 1 said to myself. I believe that we
Christians experience just as much dif
ficulty in unlearning our errors as these
heathen do in getting free from theirs.
Cannot Understand Spiritual Problems.
Coming to the point of what is to be
resurrected, we note the fact that our
Lord appeared in a liodj-'of flesh, and
showed the disciples the print of the
nails and the hole made by tiie spear.
But we. perhaps, failed to note that
only twice did lie thus appear and
only for a few moments each time.
His other six or seven appearances
during these forty days were also very
brief, and were in various bodies once
as a gardener, another time as a trav
eler, a third time as a stranger on the
shore. To Saul of Tarsus lie appeared
as a Spirit Being of more than angelic
brightness, "shining above the bright
ness of the sun" at noondaj. We over
looked the fact that His various ap
pearances before His ascension, if all
put together, would probably not have
exceeded four hours out of the entire
forty days In which lie tarried with
His disciples after His resurrection.
When we overlooked these things, we
were not critical, and we forgot to ask
ourselves why these things were so.
Now we see more distinctly whj- our
Lord did as lie di l- His disciples were
natural men. and therefore could not
appreciate spiritual things. Further
more, they could not receive tho guiding
of the Holy Spirit until the Lord's as
cension and appearance in the presence
cf the Father ou behalf of His Church,
to make satisfaction for their sins and
o make them acceptable Joiut-sacri-ficers
with Him. "Meantime, bad Jesus
not tarried those forty days had He
ascended immediately after His resur
rection tho disciples, stunned and be
wildered, would have had no assurance
of His resurrection. They would have
found it impossible to tell the people
that He had risen from the dead when
they hr.d no proof to l '..is effect
Lven if Jesu-i h. d appeared to thcra
as He did to Saul of Tarsus, above the
bright shining of the suu. this would
not have been convincing and satisfac
tory. They might have said. Here is a
phenomenon; but how can we positive
ly associate it with the life and the
death of Jesus? With Saul of Tarsus
matters were different He needed
something to arouse him thoroughly
and to teach him for all time, and oth
ers through him, that the risen Lord is
not a man. but "that Spirit" Besides,
some of the disciples who already be
lieved were able to give Saul of Tarsus
assurances of what they already knew
respecting the resurrection of Jesus
and His ascension. m
The Lord adopted the only reasonable
way of helping His disciples to under
stand that lie was no longer dead
that He had risen from the dead, and
that He was no longer human, but had
been glorified and had become a Spirit
Being. The two things were necessary,
and they were done at the same time.
Kveu on the occasions when our
Lord appeared in a body like unto the
one which was crucified. He took care
that tlie manifestation should be under
such conditions as would positively
prove that He had become a Spirit
Being. lie came into the room where
they were while the door was shut,
and after a few Avords with them van
ished from their sight, as no human be
ing could have done and as He never
bad done during Iiis earthly career.
That the Apostles caught the thought
is well evidenced by St. Paul's argu
ment on the subject &et forth in our
text and its context In the P.ible
there is no foolish suggestion about
Jesus having a fleshly body in Heaven.
All that is in our creeds and our hymn
books, prepared for us by our well
meaning but mistaken forefathers, who
used to burn one another at the stake
if they failed promptly to agree on
such propositions.
Our Lord's resurrection was the Life
Resurrection to perfection on the spir
it plane. In that He was "the First
fruits of them that slept." the Imp'Icn
tion is that others slept similarly and
are to come forth in the resurrection
as spirit being.?; for although our Lord
was the First-fruits of all that slept in
the sense that His resurrection pro
ceded all other resurrections, yet in
another sense He Is the First-fruits of
"the Church, which is His Body."
" 'Tis one thing now to read the Bible
j 1 through.
Another thin? to road, to learn air! lo;
'Tis one thing now to read It with delight.
And Quite another thins to read it right
"Seme read to prove a pre-adopted creed.
Thus understand but l.'ttle what, they read;
And every passage in the Book thev bend
To make it suit that all-important end."
