and so when it has been question
whether they should economize in their
bread of the table or of the bread of
life, they have foregone the pleasures
of life that they might have that which

and this is testimony peculiarly pleas

should have that which gives strength
to the whole inward man, and which
enables men to 20 through tile trials
and Universities of life with hope and in

Not only has Beecher's preaching
been a comfort to those who hear him,
but to thousands who read his sermons.

world to cross over from the Gospel of
Priestcraft to the Gospel of Christ.

houses, asylums, inhrmaries, penitenti-
aries, etc., at an enormous ann ual out

cause of from three-fourths to seven
Fights of all this outlay for crime.
That is, it is perfectly proper for the
doctor to doctor away at the effects OF

remedies to removing the cause.
