Echoes from the Pulpit.

On Sunday, May II, two of the
widest known, and Brooklyn's most
celebrated, divines made the following
remarks during their morning dis
courses:
Mr. Beecher said: 81 shall not be

years | have been under the influence
of the great doctrine Of evolution. In
my early preaching | discerned that
the spirit of true religion was repre-
sented by the leaven of the mustard
seed. Then found that science had
a larger view and that this was only
one application of great doctrine.
Now there is not an educated man
under fifty years who is not substant-
tally an evolutionist. The applica-
ton of the fruits of evolution to all
forms Of doctrine-this will be the
closing work of my life. I propose to
discuss the questions of the Divine
nature, human sin, the atonemeat.

There spang in YucAtan, on this

In the Militia.

A veteran who had read the ''Recol-
lections of Private" in the Century
was reminded of the following in his
own militia experience. Though he
was an absolute greehhorn, his CON-
panions had insisted upon his becom-
ing their lieutenant. In his first pa
rade through the streets of New York
the colonel of his regiment happened
to wheel his horse around in close
proximity to the young lieutenant's
face. The latter, to escape the switch
ing tail, drew his sword, and, as he
expressed it, fetched the horse slap
across the flank" The horse plunged
and nearly threw the colonel, who
turned and wrathfully said: "I'll have
you court martialed, sir!' The lieu
tenant had not time to reply be ore his
company cried out: "Go for him, Ed,
we'll stand by you?" and away rode
the colonel.
