BEECHEK IN TIE PULPIT.
. More than one thousand people assem-
bled Sunday morning to hear Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher preach. Services were
opened by singing the hymn, ''High as the
heavens are raised above the ground we
tread" Taking as his text the 4th and
18th verses of the 18th chapter of Romans.
Mr.. Beecher commanded the closest atten-
ton OF his audience for an hour OF more,
dwelling at some length upon the subject
Of Christian unity as against unity of the
mere outward forms of religion. Too much
thought and attention has been given to
external matters of church organization to
the detriment and neglect Of their growth
in spiritual unity.
Men are so differently constituted that it
is an impossibility for them to unite in
common religious belief. 1t is part of true
Christianity to exercise sympathy and love
towards all mankind; no less to the Grim
inal and the outcast than to the upright
AS a parent prefers the comfort and well
fare of offspring of his own, SO man should
desire the welfare of his fellow-man. We
should net.let our adherence of crime and
immortality destroy our sympathy for the
criminal and ungodly. At the close of the
services a collection was taken for the ben
eft Of poor widow living in the vicinity
Of the Twin MountainsHouse, who was
left by the death of her husband with a
mortgaged farm and large family of chill
dren. The sermon was pronounced one of
Mr. Beecher's most successful efforts.
No reference was made at either service
to the Beecher-Tilton matter. At the
evening service Mrs. Beecher had an attack
Of heart disease, to which she is subject,
and had to be taken from the church to her
home.
