Beecher on the War.
From the New YER, Herald
AT the Plymouth church prayer
meeting. MIR. Beecher spoke upon the
war in Europe. After saving that it
was part Of genuine Christianity To
evidence an interest in the affairs IF
the world, and to regard the world is
field in other than a missionary
sense, he continued: 81 think it is our
duty to manifest sense of Christian
sympathy In the tremendous conflict
that ia now going Oh between Russia
and Turkey. We have u right to
look 90. upon this thing as part and
parcel Of great movement Of Divine
Providence, by which the world is to
be brought to kqow.edge of the true
religion. As far as the moral side of
this great movement is concerned, /
want to see the Turkish government
overturned and ground to powder and
the Russian power increased. / want
to see Russia force her way through
the Mediterranean Sea, and have q
port there in which she will have q
communication with the whole world.
think this is or the interests of civil
izatiOn. i have no sympathy what
ever with the English Indignation ut
Russia. | think that Mr.. Gladstone
represents, in this matter. the better
English mind and feeling, and that
the ministry led by Earl Of Beacons-
field Is only the representative Of the
aristocra,ic and governing classes. 1t
has been the lot Of England to fight
for oplession ever since can remem-
Der. IT was English gold in Austria
that bound the hands Of the people
it was English gold that was poured
like water in the wars Of the Peninsu-
la Is against the struggles of the peo-
pie for liberty. 1t has been English
gold that has fought for every dynasty,
while old England itself. its people,
have always been ON the side of iiber-
ty. II would be a very strange thing if
she should do it once more. England
to-day is prepared to pour out her
treasure to send out an army and navy
to help the Turk. think if she does
it it will be the consummation Of alb
surdity. i do not think she will do it.
Better counsels will prevail"
After referring to the need that Rus
STA had for better outlet from the
North for her commerce. he said, with
regard to Turkey. that the Turkish
people lying outside.of the cities and
the Government were a very noble
people. He remembered how highly
Kossuth spoke Of them, and anything
that would break up the corrupting in
fiuences Of the Government would be
a blessing t. Turkey and 10 the civil
ization Of the globe. When he heard
Of the Russian armies going out his
sympathy went out with them, for he
saw in this great conflict the emanci-
patton Of the Turkish people.
The Rev. Lyman Abbott and DIR.
Edward Beecher spoke in sympathy
with the views enumerated by MIR.
Beecher.

close by the singing Of q hymn and
