WHICH ELEvATEs AND SAVES, atl


MIR, BEEcHER's FRIDAY EVENING TALK
THE SYMPATHY OF HUMANITY
WHICH ELEvATEs AND SAVES, ~
Mr.. Beecher's Friday evening talk was
well attended. Immediately before the
exercises opened a casket of flowers was
placed on the table before him. Assis-
tant Pastor Halliday offered up pray
or and was followed with another by
Brother Blair. These, with the singing
of hymns, occupied the first balf Of the
hour. and Mr.. Beecher then spoke for
twenty minutes or so on Christs answer
to those who wondered why He sat
down to eat with pubicaps. Mr.. Beech
or explained that Hnder the M osaic dis
pensArion the idea of separateDess was
carried out TO an extraordinary extent.
Socially and morally this was so. The
ignorant were called those who knew
not the law and were cursed. The pub
hcans with whom Christ sat down to
eat were the lowest of The low, and this
violation Of the Jewish custom was SO
haRrant that the disciples were asked
how It could happen. This mingling
with the publicans was especially mark
ed, for the reason that great sigsi ficance
was attached, in Oriental countries, to
sitting down at table with any one. But
Jesus answered that these publicans
was Himself the physician. Herein lay
the gentus Of Christianity. The most
powerful incentive to men to do better
was TO lead them by companionsbip to
higher thoughts. The whole of Christ's
life inculcated that men should feel the
pressure of duty always, no matter how
far they had advanced In righteousness.
The pu5licaDs saio of Christ :-.Never
man spake like this Man, aud yet He has
f,a nm nn trs 10 fDr .bnS
though He is" ouch was the busines 3
OF fChristianity-tO to draw up the souls of
the lowly, to elevate those who were
down, to give hope, courage, new life.
PIety in ones self did not justify separ-
ateness. The sense of humanity applied
sympathy toward every one who needed
to bs helped from the lonely place where
darkness prevailed. 1t was an adherent
characteristic of Christ to speak to those
who we're sick and needed reref. For
them He was on earth. 1t was not to be
understood that association with crimi-
mails and those in sinful state was duty
for the pious; ones own safety was to be-
preserved; but he meant that no thought
of selfish reasons, no thought of self-es-
TEEN or pride or contempt for those in
error should prevent that considerate as
soc alton with those needing help which
would tend to raise them up, encourage
anu sdto tuom. tno Rfodb conCrai uOc-
trine Of Christianity was this compass
sionate assistance.
At the conclusion of the talk Mr..
Beecher invited discussion, and one
gentleman said he had once seen on the
ferry boat poor drunken woman ump
overheard, but As he thought Of his
home, his wife aud children lac refrained
from attempting to rescue her. Mr..
Beecher replied that had he Mr.. Beech
cry been Oa that. ferry boat and rescued
that woman, that very act would have
done more good than halt the sermons
he had preached during his ministry.

1t is stated, as the result of the final
investigation Cf Archbishop Purcell's
affairs, tIt. the amount for which he
b,.ame responsible but has no resources
to meet amounts to three million eight
hundred thousand dollars. Generous
sympathy is naturally felt for the aged
Archbishop of Cincinnati, whose gray
hairs 60 down in sorrow to the grave
under burden which an upright and
sensitive mind must keenly feel, No
doubt has ever been felt or expressed
of the perfect rectitude of Archbishop
propriated a dollar of the misplaced
millions to his own use. The severe
aud simple life he has led would exempt
him from any such suspicion, even il
the investigation had not traced all the
money he has received to expenditures
in the interest of the Church. His
honor stands blameles,; but the fact that
he has received from coBfidine Catholica
nearly four millions which he is unable
to repay much rest as a heavy burden
on his conscience. The fact that the
money has been expended for Catholic
churches, schools and charnies cannot
justify him. When he received money
in trust with an obligation to repay il
his first duty was toward the despositors.
He was bound to keep himself in pos
ition to make them whole, and although
his enormouss defalcation is the conse-
quence of more errors of Judgment he
cannot be held blameless.
Commiseration for an eminent and
stricken ecclesiasfic would constrain us
to pass his misfortune In friendly
silence if we did not know that other
members of the higher Catholic clergy
continue to accept similar trusts and
are exposing themselves to the same
danger. This business of ecclesiastical
banking is total mistake. 1t exposes
the clergy ~ the most seductive OF all
the temptation to hazard
the MONEY Of depositors in the interest
of the Church. There never has been
and never will be period when the real
wants of the Church will not be urgent,
or when the expenditure of money will
not be deemed justifiable by the clergy.

Census RetnrnS That Make re
publicans Weep.

The census returns show a gain OF
five members of congress for the
south, after allowing for all losses.
while the north will lose one over all
gains. Here is a paragraph from the
Baltimore Sun on the subject.
The congress, which will be elected
in November next, and which succeeds
the fOrty-sixth congress on the 4th
Of March nexr, will, according to the
custom prevailing, make the appor-
tionment Of members of the house of
representatives under the tenth CEN
sus. The apportionment is made
on the basis Of population, the men,
bership Of the house being set at a
fixed number, with the prOviso that
whenever a new state is admitted
the representatives assigned it
should be in addition to that grocs
number. Thus, by the act of Febru-
airy 2, 1872, the membership was set at
292, the admission of Colorado bring
ing it up to 293. If, in the next ap.
portionment, the number of represent
atives be put at 300, and if we as ume
the estimated returns of the census,
40, l57 ,404, to be about correct, the
basis of representation as fixed by the
Forty-seventh congress will be 163,-
858, as against basis of
13l, ,424 under the census of
1870 This increase of 32,433 in
the basis of representation for each
congressman, together with the drift
of population, will make some mate
rial changes in the character of the
house of representatives when the
forty-eighth congress meets. AS be-
tween north and south, the south will
lose one vote in Alabama and one in
Tennessee; the north will lose one in
Indiana, one in Maine, one in New
Hampshire, two in New York, one in
Ohio, one in Pennsylvania and one in
Vermont. The south will gain one in
Kentucky, one in Missouri, one in Vir-
ginia, one in West Virginia and four
in Texas; the north will gain three in
Kansas, two in both Minnesota and
Nebraska, and one in both California
and Michigan. The final result will
be a net gain Of five members from the
south after all losses are allowed for,
or, more properly speaking, a gain of
six for the south to one for the north.
AS between east and west again,
taking the upper Ohio river, and the
line between West Virginia, Kentucky
and Tennessee for the dividing line,
the east will gain two, in Virginia and
West Virginia, and lose six, in New
York, Pennsylvania, Vermont and
Maine, the west will gain fifteen, in
California, Kansas, Kentucky, Michi-
gan, Minnesota Nebraska, Missouri
and Texas, and lose four, in Ohio, In
diana, Tennessee and Alabama,
making a net loss to the east Of four
members, and net gain to the west
Of eleven members, a net difference of
fifteen members in favor Of the west
as against the east.

ID" in N. Y. SUM-
The early entry of Mr.. Schurz into
the political campaign recalls an Incl
dent much laughed over by the vet
Grams of General Hancock's 5 staff, who
were eye witnesses of the splendid
leadership which brought order out
OF the apparent hopeless wreck and
rout of the first day at Gettysburg.
Hurrying across the field amid the
panic-stricken fugitives, there came
face to face with Hancock an officer
wearing the uniform of a division
commander of the Eleventh corps,
making his way, more or less de-
meralized, toward the rear.
General, exclaimed Hancock
sharply, as he barred the route of the
retiring patriot, "place your men be-
hind that stone wall, sir, and hold
them there |"
But, Sheneral," was the deprecat-
ing answer of General Schurz, who
might be pardoned for forgetting in
the excitement the pure English he
always uses upon the political plat.
form, Il have no men
"Then"-with an emphasis and with
an expletive that fairly raised the fu-
ture civil service reformer from his
saddle, get behind that stone wall
yourself, stay there, and fight sir"
The order was obeyed, but doubt
less with a secret conviction, which
has only grown stronger with the lapse
of years, that Hancock, who saved the
day, was, after all, "a mere soldier"
