growth OF intelligence In the country.
For the few hundreds who heard this

DR.. Abbott does not belong TO that

One can see the change OF sentiment
in the conspicuous Plymouth Church
during the last forty years. Mr.
Beecher, in 1861, from this pulpit, al

preacher in the same pulpit, who said

has such unbounded faith In, does not
