Beecher ON ssEvoIution.Y
New YORK, May 24.-RsV. Henry Ward
Beecher began series OF sermons on "Evolu-
ton" at Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, this
morning. The edifce was crowded. Beecher's
discourse expressed views of the speaker that
had been known for long time. Beecher said
he saw no bridge between the human race and
the animal kingdom in their origin. Man had
gradually grown up from barbaric condition.
Man appeared on the earth ages before the
time given in Christian history. The first
people to gain any knowledge of God was the
Hebrew race,-a people on whom all the
Christian world to-day wipes its feet. Gradual
ly men have found God by experience. God
gave no instructions to man originally, but left
him to find ont everything for himself. His
only revelation was after man had gained
some idea of moral quality. The rest of
Beecher's sermon was demonstration of the
development of the idea Of God in the mind of
man.
