Beecher ON Jesus-scaudatous Ut
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The World
has a strong article on the utter
ances of Beecher yesterday, in
which 1t says: Even the local au-
thoritIes of San Francisco have
drawn the line recently at Passion
plays, and though yesterday was
the first Sunday in Advent, we
think our readers will agree with
us that Beecher, In his eagerLess to
give vivacity to his teachings,
overstepped the limits which divide
the sensational from the scandalous
in sermonizlng. The following is
o synopsised report of Reecher's
language above alluded to: "Who
was Jesus? A peasant, mechanic
at period of the world when work.
men were very low in the social
scale; and II one had asked who
was this Divinity whom you
worship, he would have said, Jesus.
OF what country? Nazareth. Who
were his parents? Joseph and
Mary, reputedIy. Who was his
mother? Mary, who just escaped
divorce through the magnanimity
of her betrothed. Who was his
father? No one. What was his
country? Judea--a Jew-a bastard
Jew. What did he do2 Worked
as carpenter In the shop of hil
INITIATIVE father. What became o
4 him? He was charged with a VIC
lation of the Roman laws, triet
and convicted and put to death. A
bastard Jewish mechanic; a male
factor put to death for violating tn
laws Of his country! Is that tn
fellow you bring to me for worship
Now. If you look at things from
the surface, Jesus is that, and tina
oniv: and Paul, having the high
eat training, might easily hav
thrown over all the poetic veil
mystery"
