Mr.. Beeeher on RepatAiiea.

The text 81 his ermo was from Sec

man Is renewed dAy BY day" The
duality IL man. Mr.. Beech~r aid. runs
in thought through ali the writings OF
Paul. There is, according to his teach
Ing. an inner man hidden in the outer
man, and II is this inner life and inner
man Of which Paul f%rrqucnty speaks

itualis,ic view or the msiefialis;ic, 81

visible, and also an inward and invisi-

makes him more omniscient, and mor
closely allies him to God, than any thing
else. IL travels with such rapldi,y,
changes it's themes with such facility,
and embraces such . wide range OF
subjects, ~ TO pass all comprc-
hension. He hen passed TO
tue consideration Of the inner life
spoken Of In the text. As n general
ralc, he said, mems conduct i, to =
large degree, such that the inner life Is
reflected BY the outward life. But not
always N this true. Sometimes = mans
character Is worked out in his conduct,
but not always. A mans character may
be one thing, and his reputation ano,h-
or. raul's character was angelic, but
his reputation among the men of his
time WAS that. rs he himself expressed
il, OF "the of. securing u the earth"
A man with q very bad reputation may
nevertheless stand far above his time
and his fellows. Some men are better
in their inner lives than in their conduct,
and some are better la their conduct
than In their inward lives. Some do
coarse and hard things under the guize
of friendship, and others perpeirzie NIL
sorts Of mean things under the shield OF
politeness. There are vulgar devils
walk NJ the streets in linsey-woolsey,
aud there are also many men walking
the streets in silks and saiins and broad
cloths who are devils. There are many
men whose outward life may be all
right ia the sight OF the Law. but whose
inward life il hard and cruel, and many
who are better inside than they are out
side. Men may be seemingly wide apart
in this life, and still be really near toge,h-
er. There are those wholiye In animosity
all their lives, and who are nevertheless
really the best Of friends. Our imagin-
alton causes us 10 think we hate men
when in reality we do not. There were
men, Mr.. Beecher said, At whom he bad
thrown ~javelin sentences, which they
had lodged, rs David lodged Saul. and
subsequently, upon better information,
he had become convinced that he was
hitting the wrong man. He had n sort
81 suspicion, also, that the same thing
had been practiced upon him. lie had
doubt il he knew what certain dear
brethren not far from Plymouth Church
were after, he could join with them In
the hunt after that thing; but hat thing
was not he. He had no doubt that there
were Cinnamon worshiping their idols
in California TO-DAY who are better than
the red-mou;hed whisky drinking men
who are prosecuting them, notwith-
standing their prosecutors are called
