Some Anecdotes of Henry Ward
Beecher.

one April l Mr. Beecher found in his
morning mail letter containing only the
words April Fool Well, WELL he
said; " have received many letter
where a man forgot TO sign his name;
this is the first time l ever knew of a
writer signing his name and forgetting to
write a letter"
After | took the editorship of the Chris
tian Union | urged MIR. Beccher to give
his views on public questions through its
columns As it is now / said, " any
interviewer who comes to you gets
column: and the public is apt to get
your views in any other paper as in your
own" Yes he said, " am like the
town pump; any one who will come and
work the handle can carry off pail full
Of water
on one occasion | argued for Calvinism
that it had produced splendid characters
Yes" MIR. Beecher replied " Calvin
ism makes a few good men and destroys
many mediocre men. 1t is like churn;
it makes good butter, but it throws away
a lot of buttermlk.'
Charles Sumner in the Senate and
Thaddeus Stevens in the House We're
pressing the reconstruction measures for
forcing universal suffrage in the South.
In conversation with me Mr.. Beecher thus
diagnosed the situation. The radicals
are trying to drive the wedge into the log
/ butt end foremost; they will only split
their beetle" They did; they solidified
the South and divided the Republican
party. If he had been preaching on re
construction the figure would have
flashed on him then, and he would have
given il To mis- congregation from the pull
pit
MIR. Beecher was denouncing the incon-
sistency of church members; stopped
/ imagined an interlocutor calling him to
| account for exposing the sins Of church
/ members before the world; and thus re-
{ piled: Do you not suppose the world
| knows them better than l do? The world
/ sees this church member in Wall street,
/ as greedy, as rapacious, as eager, as un-
/ scrupulous as his companions He says
/ to himself, Is that Christianity? / will go
! to church next Sunday and see what the
minister says about this. He goes; and
what is the minister saying?' Instantly
Mr.. Beecher folded his arms upon his
breast, held an imaginary cat purring
/ comfortably there, he stroked il with
the other hand, and continued: The
minister is saying, Poor Pussy, Poor
/ Pussy, Poor Pussy.
Mr.. Beecher made his congregation
/ laugh, not of set purpose and never fol
the sake of the laugh but because he
| himself saw, and made them see, those
| incongruities which are the essence OF
humor and often the most powerful OF
arguments.-GRev. Lyman Abbott, in the
October Atlantic.
