THE PLYMOUTH CHURCH ORATOR.
Henry Ward Beeeher Tells q Big Au
dience About True Civilization.


dience About True Civilization.
An audience which overlooked even standing
room, and packed platform densely as orchestra
and balcony, greeted Henry Ward Beecher last
night at Lincoln Hall with appreeiative applause.
The magnitude of the congregation was the most
appropriate and delicate compliment that could
have been paid the great orator. who repaid it by
a manly and generous protest against the growing
tendency of the age to characterize all expression
of elevated and unscliSh sentiment as rllsh ="
This protest was embodied in bold brilliant.
beautiful plea for humanity, not as valued by
the measure of their power to produce material
wealth, but by the nobler and truer measure of
individual worth and individual rights as chill
dTen of God, atoms of immortality as human
beings And the protest was delivered, the plea
was defended, with all the resources of that lum-
nous intellect and that marvellous magnetism
which are pre-eminently Henry Ward Beechcrs
The central idea of his lecture "In the recog
milton and the appreciation of the individuals
importance lies the true civilization and the only
safety for the Nation" This idea was illuminated
and enforced at every step with that glowing and
gorgeous dicion that exquisite felicity of phrase
that quaint and enjoyable humor that inimitable
series of wOrd-paintings which constitute the
technique, SO to speak, of Beecher's cloquence
Man as man, man as child of God, he claimed
counts but little in this world outside of this
country. Mr.. Beecher discussed the possibilities
of man in this country. From the Puritan
man was to be measured only by his relations to
God. He spoke of the immense emigration to
this country, and said he had no fear Of the as
smilative powers of the Nation to convert all emf
grants, of whateyer nation, into American citi-
Zens. 1t became important to inquire have we
got the stamina to keep our place among nations
yet aSsimilatc these emigrants? Material develop
ment would not dO-knowlcdge would not do;
intelligence alone would enable lis to do So Are
we an intelligent people?
He then discussed the various agencies that
would produce this intelligence The press. vast
as its power and its influence were was Inadequate
10 the emergency. So was the church. Only the

tous speeches, when Governor Foster, who had
Just appeared on the stage, was introduced by the
chairman.
After stating that he also was somewhat embar-
raised, he proceeded to say that the impression
prevailed very generally that Ohio was mOnopo-
LIKING more than her share of the offices under the
Government; that this mistake, as the Sec
rotary of the Treasury had made calculation and
found that the quota of Ohio was not yet full, and
that this statement he made for the benefit of the
visitors, who, by careful examination, might still
find some places left worthy of their acceptance.
Hon. s. s. Cox was the next speaker and in the
five minutes allotted TO him he gave most
humorous description of the peculiarities of Ohio
and OhiOans. and closed with glowing eulogy OF
what he was proud 10 call his native State.
During the speech Of NJ. Cox,
