Beecher's Progress of Thought.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Mr. Beecher came in for sharp criticism at the weekly meeting of the Baptist pastors to-day. His article on ''The progress of thought in the church" was opposed by Rev. MT. Gessler, of Brooklyn, who condemned MT. Beecher's ideas as tend ing to infidelity. 'If the article means any thing" he said, Che would put reason above revelation and thus render revelation unnee- essary, for it could not be necessary to reveal what man by his own reason could per ceive. Mir. Beecher admits that tho doctrine of evolution would change the whole structure of theology and upset all former ideas of the relations of God and man, but he does not shrink from the inevitable conclusions to which he is led and trusts to science which ends in agnosticism and infidelity. He turns to evolution as the rising of hope, and leaves the ligious world in no doubt as to his attitude. Mr. Beecher has apparently chosen to hold only so much of the Bible as he can hold consistently with his scientific faith''
