His widow Describes the Great Preach
er's First Brooklyn sermon.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher gives an in-
teresting account of the first sermon
preached by Mr.. Beecher in Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, in her fifth paper on
Mr.. Beecher as | Knew Him" in The
Ladies' Home Journal A perfect food
of warnings and criticisms came to him
before his first sermon. Doubtless all
these warnings determined Mr.. Beecher
more than aught else that the people of
his new church should fully understand
before he was installed what course he
was likely to pursue. He told me that
if Plymouth church decided TO install
him, it would do so with its eyes wide
open. 1t was upon the evening of Sun.
day, Oct. 10, 1s47. He sat quietly on
the pulpit while the choir was singing.
His eyes scanned the concourse of peo-
pie before him, but il was the look Of
confidence that saw.

noticed the almost conternptuous looks
of the strangers present as they watched
his face. As he rose TO read the Scrip
lures a deathlike silence pervaded the
great church. But not tremor was
visible in the voice that spoke. With
that mellow voice which the Brooklyn
public learned so well to know he read
the lesson of the evening as if he were be-
fore his Lawrenceburg audience. Then
as he uttered the first low sentence of
his prayer, as his heart rose heayenward,
the effect of the preacher became visible
on his congregation, and he brought his
hearers close to the mercy seat. All was
changed. An almost breathless solemn
" pervaded the church, and tears were
on many faces.
The youthful look vanished and did
not return, as in his sermon he plainly
and with great solemnity showed bis
hearers the course duty called him Ia
pursue. AS he said of these remarks
years after; II lifted up the banner and
blew the trumpet in the application Of
Christianity to intemperance, to slavery
and all other great national SINS said
to those present, If | remain here and

bound by no precedent, and that | will

whether men will hear or whether they
will forbear, and will apply it sharply
and strongly to the overthrow Of every
evil and to the upbuilding Of all that is
good"
After the close of the sermon many
came to counsel Mr.. Beecher. They
were actuated by kindness to him and
anxiety for the church. Such bold, plain
speaking they did not understand. They
had never been used to it. 1t would
overthrow this young church.

MICHIGAN GERRY WANDER DEFEATED

Another legislative gerrymander has been de-
feated and annulled in the courts. The SUI
premc Court of Michigan, the highest court OF
that State has set aside the ReappOrtOnment
Act passed by the last Democratic Legislature
on two grounds one of which is precisely sim
liar to one of the four points on which the re-
apportionment in this State is now being at
tackled Far-minded people, interested to see
such questions the redistribution of seats
in \ legislative body determined honestly,
legally and with due regard to the rights Of
all parties and all communities must be much
encourag ed and gratfed by the fate that has
befallen these gerrymanders thus far whenever
they have been taken before our highest courts
There at least Justice has been obtained. The
Wisconsin case and now the Michigan case
give strong assurances that the result of the
proceedings instituted on Wednesday at Roch-
ester will be honorable to the courts of New
York and fair TO the people.
Although the tccgraphic summary of the
Michigan decision is far from complete it makes
the fact clear that the reappOrtlonment has been
annulled for the essential reason that the Legis-
lature gave larger representation to three
counties than they were entitled to in view OF
the fact that they contained smaller popula-
ton than three other counties, the Constitution
requiring the representation to be apportioned
as nearly as may be according TO the number
of the population. This is the case i'm New
York over again. The act of 1892 gave four
Asscmblymen to Albany County. which has a
population Of 1876, 74s, and only three to Mon
roe which has population Of 49, 30 The
utter dishonesty of this ceeding is apparent
on its face The total citizen population of the
State, as shown by the census, is 5,79O,s SOS.
There are 12S Assembly districts in the State.
Every 1898 of the population is therefore
entitled TO an Assemblyman. That is to say,
every county being entitled to one, no matter
what it's population may be, it is entitled to so
many more than one as its population exceeds
45.233. Monroes population is four times tho
rightful divisor plus 2ss: Albany's population
is only three times the divisor plus 81 ,049. And
vet 70 Albany were assigned four Assemblymen
and to Monroe only three
This disparity went much further. Duchess
obtained two Assembymen and st. Lawrence
only one; and yet the population of Duchess
was only 75,O7s, while the population Of St.
Lawrence was sO.670. That is, ST. Lawrence
had 80 446 more than the divisOr and Dutchess
only 29.s45. In Duchess 1889 people are

for the purpose Of affecting the poli'ic"' com

has been flippantly said that the hlatnel'a''0S
