Quite early in his ministry he had
been called upon to regard the question
of Slavery. When the question arose
he could not avoid taking sides with
the mute and helpless, lie never rea-
soned about his action No considera-
tons of policy entered the matter, and
he had made no sacrifices. In discuss
ing the question he had closely studied
political economy, the Constitution of
the country, and the affairs of the vari-
Gus States, and he grew more and more
patriotic, and the love of country be-
came with him an enthusiasm. No
one knew, no one could tell, how much
he suffered at finding that in half the
States the press could not speak, the
pulpit could not speak, and he himself
could not speak. The great war passed
and liberty came, and from that mo-
ment he had laid down the weapons of
controversy and taken up the tools for
building up and reconstructing. He
had nothing to say of the struggles he
had gone through. nothing to say be-
yond what he had said on Sundays
about the modification of his views
the enlargement of his horizon. Come
what might, his hold upon God was
incontestable, and he would be by the
side of Him who loved him when the
memory of all earthly trouble would he
like the memory of last Summers
storms.
Mr. Beecher said at the close that
without Boosting he was conscious that
he had not spared himself in his work,
and no man could take from him this
boast that he had worked, however i'm
perfectly, for the honor and name Of
God, into whose hands he left every
thug that might happen.
