To this toast HENRY WARD BEEcHER replied in
strain Of peculiar eloquence power, in substance
as follows
Mr.. CHAIRMAN and GENTLEMEN | am
quite unused to making speeches on such
an occasion this, and yet do not feel at liberty
to decline. am sure no sentiment could have been
given me 10 speak TO which more rehgIously be-
eve. Since remember anything. remember
when my father, gray haired even them let neither
morning nor evening pass that he dld not suppcate
God to send abroad the light OF civil and religious
liberty. And he believed what he prayed, and be-
leye what he prayed, and If did not should not
have been what am now and so thoroughly De-
heve that 1t is TO me religion IN part, and feel
though what say IS thing merely to be spoken
because | can speak tonight on this subject as
freely as though | were IN the sanctuary o,
God before the altar of God, and were called
IN that capacity to teach your duty 10 you
And now, gentlemen, civil and religious liberty
is a thing that Governments declare, ana Gov
eTmenls may recognize II Out Governments never
made IT, nor can they make II any more than Gov
eTnments can make man. God made man, and lie
never made without putting this principle OF
civil and rellg ous liberty within HIM and II there
he ne
then he is not a man. Because this Is part OF Goa
lent TO u.s. and We are bound, as receiving IL from
him, to trade well on It. Therefore, every man
who is worthy to be called man, every one who had
a mother worthy to be called a mother, and every
nation worthy to be called mother is tending to-
ward civil and religious liberty. No matter under
what oppression he has existed, as a seed under
shadow OF under board, will attempt to throw It's
stem upward to the light and It's roots downward
for water so If you put a man under any supern.
cumbent oppression which may exist, there Will
always be a reaching out for the light OF liberty
reaching upward for Gods religious Liberty;
But is an easy thing to speak about clV ana re-
ligous liberty II is easy to have 1t and To praise II
but sometimes it seems TO me we praise II as some
! old rich cuTmudgeon praises charity, who mas
abundance OF gold, but will not give II to aid the
| HuDgarianS, as / would Indeed, this IS the first
tam. have snvied a rich man. SO that might give
! to this cause and remember how eloquen.ly that
Old usurer, with his wine before him, and his
! feet to the fender, talked about the beauties OF
charity and the benefits OF wealth, while at the
same time he sent the beggar shvering from his
| door | ask OF what use is money to such
ture as that, except to damn him fCheers SO it is
! with every man who is talking, talking continually
| about civil and religious liberty. Now, want TO
know what they DO with civil and religious liberty:
! tCheers To my thinking, by Just SO much as Tod
has attached pleasure or privilege to any tnlng,
/ by so much has he attached corresponding duty;
But remember II there Is a privilege IN civil and
religious liberty, there IS duty connected with 1t,
| and that man who skuks away from that duty brings
himself not only under the curse OF man, Dut the
curse OF God, and therefore have been accustomed
TO teach that by just so much as was enlightened
| had duty TO eDlIghten the Ignorant by Just 50
! much as was refined owed a duty to those VINO
/ were rude by Just as | am strong, Coo mas
| made me prott ctor of the helpless, and TO bear
the burdens OF the weak There are some things,
1t seems TO me, that ought TO bring TINS duty nome
! 20 US. IL brings 1t home TO me. Gentlemen, lhear
a great deal about interference and about the doc
time Of Intervention but want 10 Know, 'of one,
how you can help yourself. know TINS nation mas
interiered with all the world, Just as the sun inter
feres with the darkness of night, and for the same
reason. Just so long as you stand up for an exam
/ Die before the nations Just so long you are SO
round and Tublcund and Joyous IN the enjoyment OF
your civil and religious liberty, so long will you
disturb the darkness Snd cruelty OIL despotlc govern
