The Tilton and Beecher scandal has |
broken out anew. The reports that are in 1
circulation are detrimental to the religion
ard m,rals of the whole county, in that, |
the faith of the people in their teachers is
shaken. The principles of religion and
morality are not, indeed, in the least I'M
paired by the fall of any one man, or any
Set of men. Tney are eternal. Ii NJ
6eecher is not sound in his practice of fun 1
danental doctrines, the doctrines are not In
the least Impaired. IL is only Mr.. Beecher |
who has become impaired. II is hoped |
that the trouble is only one OF those inc,- |
deEtal mis- understandings that arise some
times among people, but have no real fcun-
dation for their existence. The unpleasant |
uncertainty tha: envelopes the trouble |
should be speedily broken BY an examina-
tion or investigation, and if these intelii- !
gent people have misunderstood each other
they should know it and be reconciled, and |
be placed again properly before the public. |
II, on the other hand, there should be no
misunderstanding in it, the people should |
know it, and the false teachers put on their
proper isvel. ss,-sa-
