ucd his argument by quoting from the
works Of Beecher. He spoke Of his in
vitation 10 all parties who loved the
Lord. and who were not members Of any
church. to commune In fellowship with
him. Sherman objected TO these cita-
tons from sermons. or lectures Of

tray. theories by defendant. Judge
Nelson suggested that Sherman could
mako objections whom Beach got
through. and Beach broke out with:
''Tho gentleman In wrong. Ny quota
tons are right. and I challenge him 10
provo that they are wrong" Judge
Nelson ruled that Shsarman's OBJ
jections were next In order when Beech
closed his address. Sherman said hs
would offer an objection to every quo
tation made from Beechsr's writings.
Counsel continued his citations, and
said: Beechcr says many parts OF the
New Testament have grown old; mir.
aclss have grown old and arc out Of
date. and counsel said u they could
strike out miracles, these evidences OF
the Godhead, why not strike out the
sermon OH the Mount and the Lords
Prayer. Counsel was s~ndsavoring to
show that when this man assailed other
parties for their heresy, no should look
we'll to his own doctrines. After making
o number OF quotations from Bsscher's
works counsel said: "Beechor. In n
OF his sermons, says he prays on the
same principle that a cork Is forced out
Of bottle" Counsel said that he
thought Il a good and lasting principle
when heart and soul are overlooking
with religion. He quoted an extract
from one Of Bseohot's talks In which he
said he would rather have been the
prodigal son than his brother. who was
too stiney to gstdrunk and too unsym.

asked from what that extract was taken,
