MIR. Beecher's Statement,

Mr. Beecher has put an end to the sus-
pense of the whole Christian world by
statement which we herewith present, and
which is full, explicit, unreserved and con-
elusive on all points of accusation against
him. He gives the history of the years in
which this intrigue against him has been
gradually eliminating, and shows in an en-
tirely satisfactory manner how his sympathies
and his magnanimity have been wrought
upon by those wretches, whose perfdy he
was .incapacitated by the very largeness of
his nature from comprehending. The weak
nesses which he discloses are those of too
great trustfulness and confidence inducing
blindness as to the perils around him, aggra-
waited by bodily infrmity and by labors such
as no other man on earth is capable of per-
forming He shows in Moulton and Tilton
two of the most uncomfortable and incon-
ceivable scoundrels of whom the whole his
tory of the world makes record, -Moulton
the hypocrite, traitor and blackmailer, and
Tilton the debauched, morbidly egotistic and
melodramatic bohemian, who falsely alleges his
wife's shame in order to make merchandise
Of il.
The delay which has caused so many men
to doubt the result becomes now of little conse-
quence, because so easily understood. Beech
er's case must necessarily depend upon him
SELF Without memoranda of the many
letters he had written Moulton, knowing as
any man of sense knows how imperfect
human memory is in details, and yet how
ready all men are to claim discrepancy as
guilt, he might well decline to answer until
Moulton had fully unladen himself of all
that his treacherous heart contained. No
one can say that Mr.. Beecher's call upon
Moulton was not ample, nor that his per-
mission to him to disclose was not ABSOLUTE
and the call deserved a better fate. If there
be any principle established either in sense
face charges until the whole evidence is be-
fore him. The truth is either that Moulton's
courage has failed him or he has held himself
back to pounce upon any discrepancy in
man may be at fault.
= We commend this statement TO the careful
perusal of everybody in the confident belief
that it will carry refreshment and conviction
to hearts which have been heavy with dread
and apprehension about this wretched bust
ness. Mr.. Beecher will stand stronger before
good people and be more useful in all good
works for having passed through this fiery
trial

The National Camp Meeting.
Third Days Proceedings.

Yesterday was dark, cold, and stormy, and
the camp-ground presented dismal aspect.
The damp crept into the tabernacle even, and
the whole place was like Poe's land by ill
angels tenanted, moist with the dews that drip
ped over all. The interest continues undated
however, even under these depressing crcum-
stances.
Thursday evening the Rev. W. FL. Boole con-
Quoted the service and spoke with great feryor
upon the communion with the Holy Spirit its
nature and extent.
AT eight o'clock yesterday morning social
meeting was held under the direction of the
.Rey. Mr.. Feote of New York. At 1890 the
tabernacle was well filled to listen 20 a sermon
from the Rev. Charles Munger of the Maine
Conference, who took for his text the words so
frequently recurring in Elk. XVIII, ssThou
Shalt and l Will" The main idea of the dis
course was that the symbolism of the Mosaic
economy is typical of the gospel. This idea
was well elaborated and was supported bv a
goodly array of exegetcal knowledge The
"Ehou Shalt and WHIP is a command and a
promise, carried out more completely in the
gospel than in the ancient covenant
AT the close of sermon Rev. Mr.. Inskp call
ed upon those who desired the outpouring of
the Spirit of God to kneel. Many kneeed. and
plea of great power and fervor was offered IN
by the reverend gentleman.
The young peoples meeting at .45 was con-
Quoted by Mrs. Wittenmeyer of PHILADELPHIA
A great interest was developed among the
young people.
In the afternoon the Rev. William McDon-
aid of New York, editor of the "GUide to Holt
ness" preached a strong argumentative dis.
course, taking as his text Psalm xix, IL, --"Wbo
can understand his errors?" The sermon was
a retutation of the prevalent errors regarding
the doctrine of the entire sanctifcaton. The
preacher claimed that the common objections
to the dogma of specification can be as well
brought against the doctrine of justification bv
faith.
A business mems meeting was held in tn
tabernacle at six p M, conducted by Messrs
Perry of Baltimore, and Sullivan of Boston.
Among the arrivals yesterday were the Rev.
DR.. Lowry of Ohio, and the Rev. L. R. Dunn
of New Jersey, both members of the National
Association.
There were about 1900 people present during
The preaching service. Many remained in their

Travellers, Testimony,

Thousands of travellers by land and sea have
vouched for the efficacy of Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers as preventive of the physical disturbances
which ordinarily arise from change of climate and
the changes of diet water, &C., incident to a wan
dering life. Upon systems toned invigorated and
regulated by this genial vegetable antdote the ex-
ernal causes of debility and disease seem to produce
little or no effect. Forearmed with Hostetter's Bit
tiers. the voyager may bid defiance to sea sickness
and encounter the chilling fogs of the British Isles
the coast winds of the Antilles the icy temperature
of northern Alaska, the burning heat of the trop-
ics with equal impunty. The effect of this admira-
BILE indicated stmulant is greatly to increase the
vital energy of the SYSTEM thereby enabling it to re-
SYST and repel the exciting causes of disease

DIR. SCHENCK'S
Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed moro
cures of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution.
Other remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases. and ii taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to contne the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make cure impossi-
bic.
Sehenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle of opium: 1t is composed of pow
erful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs,
liver, stomach and blood, and thus correct all NOR
bid secretous and expe all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schencks Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate i'll this way, it is obvi-
Gus they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.
DR.. Schenck is professedly at bis principal office,
Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every
Monday, and at the Quincy House, Boston, on the
following Wednesdays June 10th and 24:h, July Sth
