was so far from being excited or dis tracted that the thought of being so struck me as no less abs urd than the thought of man getting irritated in summer while sitting beside of a persis- tently babbling brook. It did not seem that that tumult of the people had anything to do with me personally; and while it was going on and raging it seemed almost like the sound of a storm at sea, or of the wind among the trees, which I, in connection with all nature, had my share of, but which did not belong to me particularly, and afterwards when l went to Glasgow, where there is a great deal of ship building and where for commercial reasons there is a great deal of South ern sympathy, had the same feeling. I made my preparation on the day l spoke and never came into this room in more truly revival" frame of mind than when the evening came, l W ent on the platform there. And it was the same at Edinburgh. When l came to Liverpool the scene of all the hardest labor performed during my absence; here l waded; here the Red Sea closed on me. and had to swim through to the other shore, the wheels of my chariot coming off, and the chariot dragging heavily at the bottom, and though 1 was exhausted in body, and all used up, like ship master who for two hours and a half in a violent gale, has been obliged to bawl out his commands necessarily, yet I never lost the feeling of con- passion. I felt as royal as prince and looked down on the audience as a prince would look down on the sports of children. And when the men did the most outrageously insulting things, they did not insult me. The taunts, the jeers, the whistlings, the yellings, the cutting in two of my sentences, or, when I began them, ending them in the most comical manner; the spelling of sentiments and turning my own words back on me, and this not once, nor twice, but straight through for two hours and half, in way that l must pronounce utterly in unfair and ungentlemanly, these things never for moment disturbed me. l felt all the time that had a great parcel of child ren there and that was, as it were, nurse, and was managing them; and | had the feeling of kindness and con- passion and sorrow for them from be- ginning to end.-[H. w. Beecher n his Lecture Room Talks.
