MED by the Rev. Dr. Raymond, spent
Saturday evening in the Tabernacle House,
Finsbury, to which DR.. Campbell had in
vted a number of the leading ministers
of the metropolis to meet him. The con-
versation mainly turned on the civil war
now raging. on which Mr.. Beecher ex-
pressed himself with great frankness and
confidence. The Rev. John Graham and
the Rev. John Kennedy made pointed
reference to some expressions ascrlbed to
Mr.. Beecher about the time of the Trent
discussion, when he was reported as hav-
ing said, They would bide their time till
they had settled matters with the South.

England stopped there, but not so the

how we can forgive an injury, and heap
