time ago he was called upon to deny It
again, after having denied II In print many
times. Concerning this denial and the
funny circumstances oft, We will hear Mr..
Bcecher himself i: "slttlng at friends
table one evening, I was telling an Incl
dent that befel me-in this wise:
"A young man from Buffalo called to
see me to-day. He said that he had heard
n young lady, In large company, relating
the story of my beginning sermon with
the phrase: 1T is Id hot He Mt
once contradlcted It. She affirmed II pos

a published denial Of the story from Mr..
Bcechcr himself She answered: why,
I was present myself at his church and
heard II with my own ears
or course, he could not say what he
thought, but replied, 4 am going to New

Beecher.'
The case seemed SO fragrant, that I said
to him:
"when you 20 back. wish you would
take occasion, before witnesses, to say to
this lady, from me, that she lies, and that
she knoscs that she lies. and that she knows
that know that she lIes.'

For moment there was silence. Then
came crash Of laughter from the whole
company. Confused and blushlng scar

and, when night comes, and the days
