MR. BErcHER's BROTHER.
This afternoon the Rev Dr. Edward Beecher
conducted an experience meeting lie said at
the opening that many OF the ministers present
had interesting religious experience. and he
asked such to speak freely. Many responded,
ana at length his brother Henry Ward rose.
At that instant brother, who had not seen Nr.
Beecber on his feet, moved that the speeches be
limited to two minutes each. the proposition
being melted by the fact that a tedious brother

short III the made of sentence by the Modeta'
tor. The situation Was awkward. There was Mr..
lieecher waiting 60 begin, and his mouth liable
to be closed within TWO MINUTES. Ihe son-ln-
! " looked agnast, and stood up 10 say some
thing, but others called the hlunde1ers atten-

eXcep cd said one; ana another saii, 80 Oi

was heard about the two-minute motion, and
Mr.. Bcecher began 10 speak. rs the others had

HIS ExPIRIENCE.

Christ IN proportion as carry God IN mo.
Wnat men know OF the qualify OF GOl

DO YOU carry Yourself so AS to ne revelation of
