We believe that Mr. Beecher, as well as other
members Of his profession, has sometimes found
the responsibility Of the press fruitful theme Of
discussion We beg leave to commend to his con
sideratlon the higher responsibility Of the pulpit
We do not know of any reputable journal which
would think of publishing such a charge as that
which Mr.. Beecher uttered without careful in
curry, and full confirmation Of its accuracy
Boston journal
In his New Years sermon Mr.. Beecher
made an assertion rejecting not only up
on the morals of the members of the board
of education, but upon the chastity Of
the young lady teachers in the schools.
Mr.. Beecher was promptly called upon
for proofs of what he had asserted but
not until two weeks later did he rise in
his pulpit and retract the SANDER.

address to the American People" as follows
