Previous to the general election which placed him
In power, l. in conjunction with several Others, was

the candidates then before the enlarged constitu.

that the majority OF them cared more for Mr. Glad

Tor IN their hearts they hated him as wei as feared
him but to serve their purpose before the constitu
encles they took up his cry Of and

but 1t was all false, they nearly all

and II was amazing how quickly they were up In
their parts. IL taxes some little time TO make good

The college form and the merchants desk into iull

that they would go Tor the irish Church question,

fyD.
On Friday evening the usual lecture room talk and
prayer meeting OF Plymouth church was conducted
by the superintendent OF the Plymouth Bethel, In
HICKS street. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was
absent on ecturng tour, and there was no lack OF
speaking on the part OF some OF the principal mem.
bers The tongues seemed to be loosened In the alb.
sence OF the great man, and there was general dis
position to take stock OF the inner life OF the church.
AS few interesting facts were brought out In the
course OF the talk we give them wider publ

Plymouth church numbers about 1000 members.
300 who did any active work In connection with tue
church. Aggressive action by any OF the
300 was very limited; ana he seemed TO
imply that the end ana object OF all
the expenditure OF time, talent and trouble
OF this vast Plymouth organization was to listen to
pastor and as proof OF this he mentioned that the
prayer meeting held early in the week. when the
pastor was not present. was not attended by seventy
persons.

the church was insanccd by one OF the speakers,
ladies. This was the $4,000 sewing women OF the

said that he did not believe that the average earn
ings OF these girls were more than three and half
dollars per week, with which they had to find
bread lodging and dress. The marvel was TO nun
that vice was so limited among this class; not tnat
II prevailed so extensively. He knew Of no religious
church that seemed 10 care for them.
TINS kind OF talk continued until 1t was abruptly
brought TO close ~ the singing Of hymn.
