and puncture a gigantic sham.

he has so long and so promi-

Ward Beecher is as logical an
outgrowth Of the current state
Of society as Pomery and Col
fax were logical products OF
the prevailing condition OF
politics. His ministry is a
queer mixture ofcant and cir
Gus performance. His relig-
gion is an odd compound OF
dramatic godliness and attrac,
tive heresy. His church is 9
place Of amusement. His con.
gregation is a body Of people
who pay an enormous pew
rent for the sake Of being
shocked every Sunday, and
incidentally, to be in style
