A FARCE.

The great Advisory Council" has al
ready been voted by the country farce.
The DELEGATES were selected by Plymouth
Church, their expenses all paid by Ply
mouth Church, and are directed what to do,
and what not to do, by the Pastor Of Ply
month Church, who occupies, in 'sponta-
nsous outbursts of dramatic elo9uence,"
about four-fifths OF the time OF the Council,
while the other fifth is taken up by the
lachrymary Shearman, OF Plymouth
Caurch, in shifting over what Bro. Beecher
said. So far as concerns the settlement Of
any question at issue it amounts to Just ss
much as would jury selected by a man
from among his own friends, and paid for
carrying out his own wishes. Drs. Stors
and Buddipston recognize the fact that the
whole thing is farce, and when they were
invited to appear before the body and give
their opinions of Beecher and his church,
they gave the Council the snub genteel by
prudently sending back word they had
nothing to say" The gamblers say,
'Never bet against another mans game"
Storrs and Buddington were shrewd enough
TO see that this game" was exclusively Mr.
Beecher's-that he had arranged il all 10
suit his own purposes, and that for them TO
"bet against it" would be exceedingly un
wise-even fool-hardy. The good sense
they display in refusing to have anything
to do with the affair, under the circum-
stances, is to be commended.

A TEST CASE

Charles A. Dana, the editor Of the New
York Sun, was publicly prayed for by Mr.,
Moody, in one of his hippodrome enter.
tsinpents the other day. And why not
Dans's case is a tough one, to be sure, but
while the lamp holds out to burn"-you
know.
When Charles OConor was lying at
deaths door, and all the physicians in New
York had given him up to die, the Catho.
Tic churches OF the city prayed for his re-
covery, and an spite of the combined pow
ers OF disease, doctors and old age, OConor
got well. Ii our Catholic brethren
could pray the great lawyer out
OF the jaws of death, our Protestant
brethren ought to be able, by the same
means, to liberate the great editor from the
the bonds Of. iniquity. Its a bigger job,
We admit, than the O'Conor contract, but
there's more of them to do it. And Just
think what an incentive they have, too:
The press is terribly degenerate-indeed,
but Tor the saving qualities of a saint here
and there, like the great and good deacons
OF Cincinnati and ST. Louis, it would be
little better than grand engine of the
devil-and if Mr.. Moody can bring down
the greatest editor of the world, it will be
but reasonable to hope for the ultimate re-
generation of the whole fraternity. Stick
to him, Bro. Moody; it's great undertak-
ing, but the victory--if you achieve one
will be correspondingly great; it will add
to your crown a star that will shine with
the effaleent glory of a Sm.
