BROOKLYN CHURCHES.
PLYMOUTH CHURCH.

Mr.. Beecher's Few Words Behalf of
the New Tempera nee Movement-A Ser
mon on Special Providence and Natu-
raj Laws.
There was an old-time congregation yesterday
morning at Plymouth church. Within and with
out there was a dense crowd, and when every
available hearing and seeing place was secured
hundreds went away sorrowfu, because they
could not get nearer than the outer gates. The
exceptional causes that brought about this result
were the admission of eighteen new members to
the church on profession OF faith, and the balmi-
ness OF the weather. 1t was Communion Sun
day, too, and this brought out the men,
bers in large numbers. Mr.. Beecher was
in excellent voice, spirits and health, and
thus all things worked together towards
The good time which yesterday mornings service
gave to those who TOOK part. Among the
announcements were several in relation to the
temperance movement; one in which 1t was stated
that meeting would be held at Dr. Cuylers
church on Tuesday evening next in relation
thereto, and another Of the LADIES' Union prayer
meeting every Friday morning, at eleven O'Clock,
at the Church OF the Pilgrims. After reading these
notices Mr.. Beecher said:-i need not say how
strongly Isympathze with these movements that
are 20 be made throughout our land now for the
reformation OF
IN one respect-namey, the abolition OF intem-
perance; for do not suppose that tins battle IL to
be fought by one generation, Tor 1t is one that
must be fought over again by the next. /
regard 1t as one part OF the great battle
OF the spirit oil man against the animal
man. Therefore 1t must be done in each
generation, yet In each generation every effort
should be made TO stine so great evil as intern
perance and so great a crime as the making OF IN
temperance. There Is no other crime ike that
which makes criminals. All other causes put to-
gether are not so plentiful in that respect the
safe OF intoxicating drink. Therefore, whatever
may be lawful and proper 10 be employed. what
ever may be introduced to restrict 10, whatever
insttumentallties may be employed that right
and reasonable and are simple IN their use en-
titled 10 our active co-operation. We have seen q

promises 10 develOpe and encourage the spread

At the morning services yesterday, Rev. Father
Dsmen, the celebrated Jesuit orator, preached the
opening sermon ot the mission. This gentleman
IS considered the ablest preacher of his order on
tins Continent His personal appearance Is decd-
eddy striking and assists hlnl very materially in
unpressing his audience. lie Is now probably
nifty years OF age, tall ana rather stout, with
full features, high forehead aud snow whl'e hair.
He certainly very much resembles the portraits or
Pope Plus which are exhibited In tnis city. The
reverend gentleman spoke Tor over an hour. tie
frequently moved his hearers to tears, and again
by more cnoice and well pointed wltticism changed
their melancholy into smiles. He sketched the beu-
e1ts TO be derived from a faithful attendance at
the exercises Of the MISSION and painted IN glowing
pictures tine terrible consequences winch follow the
paDdering TO human passions and otaer excuses.
He exborted all the parlshi0neTs OF st. Ceclias to
attend the mission, and diiated upon the miseries
which attended life OF sin and. on the contrary,
the happiness which was certain To follow In the
wake OF Christian Catholic life. He also ex
tended an invitation TO all outside the Catholic
Church 10 attend the mission, and announced tAat
