He may now be enrolled as n Universalist

bytey (Presbyterian).
Mr.. Beecher does not assert his belief in
Universalism !; he ever rejects it with ab-
hoEsnce.. Christian Leader Universally.
There is scarcely the shadow of founda,
tory. which it has received-&andard Of the
Cross. protestant Episcopal).
Cannon Farrar, Mr.. Beecher, and others
implicitly or indirectly charge that such
ideas of hell form a part of evangelical the
ology. Such caricaturins of the faith oftheir
brethren is indecent and outrageous.-TMe
Interior (Presbyterian).
These are cheering signs of the new age
now dawning upon Ms, preparing the way
for a more hopeful and rational faith
The New Church Independent .(Swedenbor-
gian).
The revised report in the Christian Union
shows that he does not deny the doctrine Of
future retribution for those who reject Christ,
but denounces the idea that those who never
heard of Christ would suffer endless misery
in consequence.-Lutherdn Observer.
1t is to be regretted that MI. Beecher's
views of future punishment are 80 loose and
illogical. His influence is very great in
many places, and he, perhaps, has had more
to do than any other man in unsettling the
minds of Congregational ministers.-Journal
and Messenger (Bap,ist).
But We really do not know why go much
should be said about these late utterances Of
the Plymouth pulpit. The day has gone by
when the opinions of Mr.. Beecher have
much weight with anybody outside of his
own congregation.-Eruminer and Chronicle
(Baptist).
But our Protestant friends are busily en-
gagged Just now in attempts to convince
themselves that there is no he'll, or if there
be, that it is an infinitely better place than
heaven. The latter is the opinion of the
most prominent preacher in the country
Mr.. Beecher.-Catholic Review.
The utterances of Cannon Farrar and Mr.,
avowal by some Congregational ministers of
their inability to accept the generally re-
received views Of orthodox churches are Of
of course, hailed with great delight by the
Universalists .-Baptist Weekly.
A reading of Mr.. Beecher's sermon, shows
that it gives no aid or comfort whatever to
Universalism. 1t is fatty and plainly OPP
posed to it. One or two secular papers
wrested his words from their settings and
tried to pervert his meaning.-Christian In
teuigencer reformed Dutch.)
1t is one of the ablest discourses of the
ception of an intensely nervous form of inn
precation touching the destiny of the count.
less millions who have been swept unsaved
into eternity, the sermon is in accord with
evangelical Observation-Disclosures Recorder
protestant Methodist.)
We do not like the implication of Mr..
Beecher, that orthodox Christians now be
lieve in the kind Of God and the kind of
hell which he and Mr.. r. G. Ingersoll de-
scribe and denounce. The ill effect of such
utterances is seen in the growing tendency
to restiveness under any preaching of law
and penalty.-The Advance Congregation
alist.)
We can not agree with Mr.. Beecher in
many of his modes of expression, nor in
some of his opinions, but We are relieved tt
find that the dogmas which he repudiated
!, with such.:vehemence, if We rightly under
stand him, are not now if they ever were
any part of our recognized orthodox faith
