VIM. H. Beecher and Henry Ward
Beecher are in a public controversy as
to what their father, the late Lyman
Beecher, believed regarding Adams
sin. My father held that men must
repent Of Adams sin, says Henry
Ward Beecher. This is a great mis-
take, and does great dishonor to the
noble and beloved dead, says VIM. II.
Beecher. 1t would be more interest
ing if the Beecher brothers would
discuss a sinmore recent than Adam S,
and about which one of them has more
definite knowledge.
