Beecher's Prayer Meeting Last Night
Plymouth lecture room, in Brooklyn, was
crowded 10 excess last evening by brethren
of the church. On the plat form were seated
the deaCOnS OF the church and Mr.. Beecher'S
son. When Mr.. Beecher entered he received
loud ovation from the audience. After

Plymouth members when he thanked God
that when the bitter cup was presented to
their beloved pastor they were able To par

MR.. BEECHER ON STONE THROWING SAINTS
Of all the saints he knew Of the worst were
The stone-tnrowing saints, like Shemei.
There were enough of these in edi torial chairs
and the pulpitS. God had not baptized him

he would have despiSed Mr.. Beecher had he

TO leave, hoped that they would join with
HIM in pledging To Beecher their fidelity
and, God helping them, they would never

ten thousand juries could not make them
