Henry Ward Beecher-A Memorial
Sunday school Service in Plymouth
Church March Sthr is small volume
issued by Fords, Howard d Hulburt. 1t
includes an address by Thomas @. Shear
man. In this pleasant account of an
attectionate memorial service, one is re-
minded that it is already four years since
the great preacher passed away, and
meantime-despite the bronze statue that
his fellow-citiZenS of Brooklyn are rails
ing to him-Plymouth Church stands,
and viii stand, his living monument.
The point of special interest in this little
pamphlet is the address of Mr. Shear
man, who, out of a fullness of intimate
knowledge and a keen appreciation of
Mr.. Beecher'S characteristics, gives in
brief space a really new contribution to
Beecher memorabilia, including some
capital "reminiscences illustrating his
statements.
