Speoki'U .On.-Mr. Henry c. Bowen seems TO
be assuming more positive attitude toward

PENDENT, than heretofore. He says that the
charges made by Mr.. Tilton did not compare
In denniteness and fagrancy with those
now made against Mr.. Eeecher BY. Mrs.
Moultonl condemns very positively the &C.
ton Of Plymouth Church In her case, and
says that unless the church shall withdraw
nom Its action and proceed TO meet the
charges by formal trial either Of her or Mr..
Beecher. q Congregational council cannot
fail to recommend churches to withdraw
from their Fellowship. He quotes the Con-
gregationalist. the highest nomipAtional au-
thority. In confirmation OF this view, styles
Mr.. Beecher's declaration that he would not
reply TO further attacks o most unfortunate
policy Of selfconde nning silence, gives
notice that, - one OF The founders, he retains

but private consultations have been held In

asking for congregational council. Mr..

Q special meeting Of the church. Mrs. MOul-
now that her name was dropped from the
roll, and her request would be considered at

MOulton's letter, reciting her reasons for ab-
sentiDg herself from the church, had not
been acted on. 1t was not construed as con-
tanning charges against Mr.. Beecher, and
