the responsibility of our position.
The eyes of the world are upon us.
For my part, want two Moul-"
The Chair called the brother to Or
der, and asked Tim II he desired TO
open anew the fool gates of that most
deplerable scandal by inviting those
wretched distuFbers of the pesea OF
Plymouth Church to unite with them.
It was too much.
First Brother: "Caunot / make you
understand ? l want TO mould public
opinion in the right way, TINT is all. /"
The Chair sits down AMI the broth
er goes on:
"Fhe church has been a targAt for
the sliIgs and arrows OF the wicked
from time i'm memorial. Many a sio-
ful lance has been shivered against its
adamantlne walls. To try a tilt with
it is the am bition OF the great siver-
sary himself, but Mrs. Tilt"
Members spring t3 their feet in
every part nf the house, and cry,
"Order l'' "Orier :" "Sit down %
"Put him out J" ETC.. etc. The chair
man pounds wildly on his desk, and
it is some time before quiet can be
restored. When it is, the chairman
says he is astouished to see the broth
er attempt to lug in the name OF the
most unfortunate female.
Stid the Brother "I have lugged
in no unfortunate female. L never
lugged in any female. only meant
to say the great adversary would miss
his tilt on Plymouth Church, that Was
all
A load seems to be lifted off the
Council and they drop suddenly into
their seats.
The Brother continues ''No my
brethren, in spite OF all adversaries,
and in defiance of all the power they
bring against US and against Piym-
outh's great pastor, have always felt
Victoria Wood"
The uproar of seventeen combined
menageries caught out in 3 thunder
storm, could not equal the yell which
rose from the Beecher Advisory COuu-
ell at mention of that name. They
sprsng upon the speaker from every
quarter, and there is no doubt he
would have heen torn limb from lin b
had not some ofhis immediate friends
encireled and protected him. It was
long time before order could be re-
stored, the unfortunate brotaer
screaming to be heard, and the mem
bers yelling that no further explana-
ton would be listened to. At length
from pure wesriness, the Council
gave Ia, and the brother explained
that he had always felt that victory
would yet perch upon the banner OF
Plymouth Church
The explanation was accepted with
some grumbling, but that blundering
brother has not been allowed to speak
again at any subsequent sessions OF
the Advisory Council.
