the Gospel come tamoil and disturbance, by the op-

Of Greece are worn OUT Plato can scarcely De un-

spfead the Gospel alone by these material outaao
forms the work would not llnger long. But lhe
aterislism Of tbe world goes against The Gosp,L
f There is a subsidence Of iaib, aud sth thar de-

the child Rel Jon is the child OF Salvation. IL Is
J. nurfed in the midst of disturbance: IL will not be
deunted by strife. Our own brethren who have
gOLe forth require ju,iice aud careful nursing from
US. Nor do think il becomes this Christian nation
= TO stagger in its trials 1 thiLk we ought to be
able carry forward this glorious impulse by every
means in our power, 10 bow much We can do for
our country and for the world; for the cause OF lib
erty in this country s conDected with ~ evangelical
ton of the world. The conflict bas grown OF the
Gospel itself The God Of Battles is the God Of
Israel; and in own land had not felt that the
conflict now raging repr,teDts great elements Of
moral faith, should despair; but ince IT Is part
Of the great work, i hope that lie who has led US
thus far will continue 10 project As yet we
not touched in the sources OF strength. We have
been more econoDical we are in no danger of
starvation; sustain the loss Of twenty crops
without famine; sources of reeuperation aIe
also great. Ours is tenn crate zone, which IL the
garden of the world. This il time when Co.'s
people are called upon TO redouble their energies.
That whi is TO be the reservoir Of courage u
the religious feeling Of this great country, that will
carry rs through II nothing else will.
Mr.. Beecher closed with earnest appeal to sus-
tain our struggling army with material means and
large-minded patriotism, and the vast throDg then
dispersed sfer singing by the choir and the benedic
ton.
