WHAT Mr.. BEECHER SAID OF THE POPE

BROOKLYN, n Y, Feb. 11.-Mr. Beecher,
late Pope as "That dear old man who has
gone to his rest from the Pontifical chair
with all the complications of Instructions
and doctrines and usages which one
would think standing as we do,
in the simplicity of the Protestant
faith, would smother his best nature and
turn one out to be merely hierarch. But
his simplicity, sweetness, love, unaffected
piety, very generous personal wishes to-
ward ALL showed that notwithstanding all
the surrounding influences of circum-
stances his love of God and man was so
strong in him as to overpower them all,
When he died instantly Gods angels
bore him as gently as if a
little child had been carried
on its mothers breast into the presence of
his Savior. And the crown was put upon
his head, not because he was a Pope, but
because a new heart had been given him
just for so loving-iust as though he had
been one under pain Of communication,
and excluded from all ecclesiastical pow
er-denounced, dishonored dying, sick,
obscure, unknown, hated and despised.
Angels would have borne him into
the presence of his Master, and he would
still have rejoiced much, because he loved
much. No man asCends on high except on
wings of love- True religion means the
fellowship of pure-hearted men, one with
another. If any religion does not bring
you up to that it is false, because the heart
OF religion is left out OF it"
