Delivered to the Advisory Council Prior
to their Adjournment.
A christian Mans Defense.

The following is the full text Of the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher's address to the Adyis-
ory Council prior to the adjournment of that
body lately.
1t has come to pass that for SO many years
have read of myself and heard of myself
that have ceased in some moods to have any
actual self, and am projected as an idea be-
fore my own mind And if shall therefore
speak somewhat freely after the manner of
men about myself, l wish you to consider it
part of that metaphysics which DR.. Porter
says is so bad. have often read as if were
reading a novel about the bad hero, and
walked up from my dream and grimly asked
myself, ''Is it me that they mean; is it posi-
bic for a man to live as long as have and as
openly, and acted upon SO large theatre, and
been agitated by such world shaking events,
and be so utterly misconceived?' l have had
the reputation of being frank man. 1t is
true that am man of very cautious speech,
and may, therefore, sometimes not have eX-
pressed myself intelligenty, though at other
times have had the reputation of being able
to make myself understood. Nevertheless,
it has come to pass that ! supposed myself
to have been more thoroughly canvassed
and construed in no very enyiable light
than it has befalen any of my contempor-
aries.
am very sorry that it should be so. l
have no love of being hero and have still
less of being such hero as | have been made
to be. | tell you that to hear men talking
whether am or am not guilty makes the very
mother-thought of my soul shiver and blush
in me. For | have that sensibility. l am
open to that
KEENEsT SENSE OF TRUTH AND PURITY
and honor and right, and to be held before q
jury, and to sit six long months, and to have
rained upon me perjury, and professional
abuse, and to feel that over the whole broad
extent of this land was the focal point on
which journalism was eXpending itself, and
that, too, not as to whether was Republican
or Democrat, not whether | was orthodox or
heterodOX, not whether this or that system
eXpounded was rightly held. but whether
was an ineffable culprit. l have not been
hunted as an eagle has been hunted; have
not been pursued as a lion has been pursued;
l have been pursued even as wolves and fox
es. have been pursued as if l was maggot
in a rotten corpse. And do you suppose it is
in human nature to 90 through months and
through years and not to feel it? And yet, if
1t please God, who has enabled me to go
through the desert and the Red Sea, that
should go on. God is my Judge that am both
willing, and | am able to 60 on again anoth-
er five years, for can do all things, Christ
strengthening me, and the life that now live
in the flesh | live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me never so much as now. At the
same time, it may be in my power to defend
myself on every kind and charge. 1t may be

all the towns and villages whence you came ;
and may l not believe that you will carry
back from this now historic place message
of mercy and love that shall reach hundreds
and thousands of hearts, and bring them to
the service of the Lord Jesus Christ There
is no recommendation which you have made
to this church, am not authorized to speak
for them, but do speak for them-that will
not be adopted with alacrity, and with a tear
full thanksgiving to you. Whatever it is you
have suggested with US we have made, or the
way opened SO that the changes might be
made, any changes that we believe it would
be in your heart to make, and before you
reach your home. many of you, those changes
will have been effected.
Christian brethren, / see you now to bid
you farewell-the most of you. If ever yon
come to trouble; if ever your hearts should
be tried to the very innermost; if ever it
should seem to you that all the world was
adverse, am l bold if l take leave to say learn
from me? Let me assure you that in the
darkest midnight, and in the narrOwest pass,
that love that loved the world is sufficient
You may
TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST.
You may believe that Gods comfort is suffi-
cient for you. 1t is not vain thing for
you to preach. The gospel of Jesus Christ
in its fullness is enough for the living and
the dying, and for those that live, wishing
they might die, but may not. There is
strength in it; there is hope in it; there is
power in it. Never despair! Never give up!
''Lo am with you always" is truer to-day
to our apprehension than it ever was when
it was spoken to the apostles. And if my
trouble shall be the means of comfort to any,
body else, if on the rock on which my ex-
perience has run there shall kindle a beacon
light that shall keep hundreds and thousands
of others off from it, shall not sorrow that
I have labored and been in such distress in
days gone by.
/ commend you to God. l pray that your
return may be safe, that you may find your
households free from sickness, that your
churches may not have suffered in your
absence, that the work which in many of
your parishes was begun when you left, may
be going on with increased fervor, and that
in others, where there was no work, the sacred
fire may be kindled, and that your life may be
spared long to gather the fruits of your faith
full industry. Fathers and brethren, bid
you farewell.
