Thc Reecher.Tllton scandal.

Editors OF the IntellIGeneer.
Without desiring to express an opinion
as 10 the guilt or Innocence Of the Rev.
Mr.. Beecher in the matter whereof be
stands charged, ! deem II timely oppor.
tunily to say that II a sacred re-
gard for truth prevailed throughout aoci.
ETY. as 1t ought we should never see such
scandal coming TO light Sincere and
truthful intercourse, one with another,
would effectuslly prevent any such de-
moralizing occurrences. II Beecher and
Mrs. Tilton are guilty, they have broken
their marriage vows-dealt deceitlully-
given themselves up to lies. II they have
spoken the truth then Tilton and Moulton
have lied-and not only lied, but have
STEPPED their souls in ialsehood to obtain
few thousand dirty, dishonest dollars.
Lying Is one Of the great ills that beset
the happiness Of mankind. The reason
Is that the sin is not held In proper de-
testation. Men lie, and are known to lie,
and yet are not frowned down in society
as they ought to be. II man steals peo.
pie will not associate with him, but II he
lies nobody cuts his acquaintance on that
account ltthose who lie do not steal II
Is not the fear Of God that deters them,
but the fear Of man. II society was what
1t oughtto be, 1t would look with no more
federation on the one sin than the other.
II parents did their duty they would teach
their children that unIuthiulness and
lying logically lead 10 just such scrapes
as the Beecher scandal. 1t Is because
some Of these parties have been false to
truth that we see now this terrible affair
inflicted upon society. Truth.
