In the course of his sermon Sunday Mr.
Beecher spoke Of the experiment which, he
said God was making in this country by
the commingling Of races, and wondered if
the Christianity Of the nation could stand
the strain thus brought upon il. THE
question of religion and the Gospel said
be, rs not being settled by Darwin, or Hux-
ley, or Tyndall. or Lubbock, or Spencer it
is being settled in the way this nation
treats its citizens; it's being settled, Christ
himself being the judge, by the principle
Of goodwill, succor, fellowship for the
poor, against hatred, arrogance and pride
toward the poor and the foreigner In
speaking Of the oppression OF the
Chinese in California, Mr.. Beecher said
II need not tell you how men that
called themselves statesmen abandoned the
faith Of their iathes and the spirit Of true
Democracy, and went soliciting votes in
California. The spirit Of race hatred, the
spirit of caste exists yet and has Lot yet
been destroyed. Was there ever so liteous
a spectacle in time as that which is now
going on in q near fortifcationl A young
man OF African descent, sent there by the
government 10 learn the duties of an officer,
wronged, abused, maltreated, and instead Of
being delivered from his prosecutors, in
stead Of being yindicated, defended he is
cast, as il were, into the seat of the criminal :;
treated as if he was culprit justiIylng
him. Does any man of common sense be-
lieve that if there had been at the foot Of
the class the son Of distinguished states
man, that be would have undertaken 10
have avoided expulsion by multilating
himself and tying himself hand and
ioott Tied by his feet | would
ike 10 have some of you try that and see if
it is an easy thing for man 10 tie MS teet
and tie his own hands and slit his own cars.
And yet, without one single bit Of proof,
from nothing IN the world but feeling Of
caste and race hatred, the officers Of the post
Jump to q conclusion 20 miscrabiy shallow
that three-tourths OF all the newspapers in
the United States put their indignant veto
on il, God bless them for their charity and
for their just feeling. There that African
man sits to-day, and you and know It,
without the least sympathy from those
around him-his fellows, When DR., Full
ton heard of il he went up there 10 see Alm
may God bless him for it--aud took his
two daughters with him, two beautiful
girls, 70 shake hands with this poor young
man, and he said TO the commandment Of the
post, i want this African man to know
that there are ladies born and
bred that sympathi2e with him And
he, poor fellow, said this was the first sym
pa,hy from white people that he had had
since he had been there at West Point.
Strengthened 10y Dr.. Fultons celebrations,
he dared the next day 10 bear testimony to
the treatment he had received; to the com.
p.etc isolation TO which he had been con.
dcmned, Standing in the midst OF cadets
picked from the choicest Of our people, hg
bore testimony that when he entered a reel
taton room and SAT down on the bench
every one of the others on the bench got
up and left and went and sat down some
where else; and for all these years he had
been alone he, child, a ward of the gov
eminent, in IN institution in the proud state
