THE RELIGIOUS PRESS ON
BEECHER.
(From the N. Y. Herald.)

AS might have been supposed, the
great trial having ended, the religious press,
not only of the city but the country, this
week take up the result and give their
own comments thereon. These, like the
verdict OF the Jury and of the community,
differ. The Golden Age thinks the devo-
ton of Plymouth church to its pastor out
runs reason and deies justice, and pays no
regard whatever to facts, evidence and ar
guments-anything but its wv blind adj
miration of a SCARED and shattered man.
This devotion, the Age thinks, would be
admirable were it not idolatrous. But in
spite of its efforts the jury would not
acquit Mr.. Beecher, and three-fourths of
the people believe him guilty Of adultery
and perjury too, and the Age declares
/" on the strength of evidence sufficient to
send an ordinary man to the gallOws: He
has come out of the trial bIackened all
over with stains that no human chemistry
can remove and no pertumed adulation
can bleach away. And the church, una
Bile to restore the lost wilderness of its idol,
hastens to gild him. 1t will cover over
the sore places with gold. 1t will put a
premium of $50 900 on ~unconvicted adul-
terry. That is Plymouth church religion
and what comes Of it," Very unlike this
is the comment of Church and State, which
says that as the matter stands it is felt on
all sides that the vote is equivalent to an
acquittal of Mr.. Beecher. Nothing has
been proved against him, and we believe
the time will come when people will won
der at the improbability and abshrdity of
the charges. The editor declares that he
never should believe the main charge
against Mr.. Beecher on the strength of any
circumstantial evidence, though every
man had voted against him. And at any
rate, under the circumstances, very little
depends on the votes of two or three jury
men. DR.. Talmage stands on the fence,
but evidently leans over to Tilton's side. In
his Christian at Work he says that, while
the majority of people In New York and
Brooklyn think Beecher innocent, outside
and away from these cities a great many
