BEECHER REDIVIVUS. (Continued Irorn'tlio First Pneeß bnvo not strength of themselves to boar, and fall DOWN TO THE GROUND. Amt there la no peace, ami there are Borrows which wail to sorrows: deep calling unto deep, am) yot within the hand's reach. Jnstabovoovory hoatf ia peace, love, and gladness. For where man’s strength falls God's strength begins. When sorrows aro no longer tolerable, all sor row vanishes in tho pence which comes from Christ. It is fox us to fly away from trouble | to lift ouraoivea above vieiblo things. Dearly beloved, all this natur ally flows from tho words which I spolto; but tho one thought which is In my miml, ring ing Uko a boll, is this knowing that Ho which raised up tho Lord Jesus shall ralec up by Joans, and shall present us to you, the little children of my church, tho maidens whom I HAVE BAPTIZED AND INSTRUCTED, the young mou now gathotiug iu tho fullness of their strength, they that are in the midst of tho battlo aud strife, old men aud women. In twen ty-seven years how largo an army I have led. It is to mo au inexpressibly sweet thought that, as I am assured by tbo Divine light, 1 shall not slumber iu the dust. Not only this, but I shall riso by tho irre sistible power of a Christ. 1 SHALL WIN IMMORTALITT, andl shall be presented with your confidence hero. Not your sympathy, not your acclamation, is half so sweet to mo as tho thought that when all tho clouds bavo passed, aud ail tho struggles over, you and i shall stand together, known of God, and knowing as wo nro knowu, uud iu that blessed hope stand more firmly UNITED FOIIEVEIU Beloved men and women, God has soon fit io give to ibis church a discipline which is & prom ise of tho uses to which Ho moans to bring you. Ho bos laiu upon you burdens which aro to make you stronger. If Ho has brought yon to tbo grindstone lb is to shnrpcu you for tho day of attlo. Never before in tho wholo history of this church was thoro such a responsibility laid upon it to do God’s work. You ought to fool a sympathy lor tho weak, for tho tempted, for tho sorrowing, for tho siulul, fur tho human soul in all its infinite variations of experience. It is for this church to bnvo . A BOSOM OP SYMPATHY like God. Bho must go out for men, labor for them, to iovo them. For myself J. have no now promise. I ara just the man that 1 bavo been for twenty-seven yours among yon, having bad, as God knows my soul, one single desire, and that is to do good to my fellow-mon,n desire which was given mo by my mother, for when 1 was bom 1 was baptized into that nature, and which has been ministered by mo all my life, and which is deeper in mo than over before; disposition to spend and bo spout for tbo development of tbo Divine element which is iu every human soul. Lot uh, then, join bunds in this, that wo will seek visible honor; tuat wo will not seek acclamation ; that wo will not seek any worldly things, but that, with a purer life, consecrate ourselves to the more perfect union with Jesus Christ. THE PLYMOUTH ASSOCIATION, at tbo close of the proceedings, hold a private and informal, though a social, gathering, for tho purpose of tendering a reception to Mr. Beochor. They gathered in their mooting-room above tho lectuio-room in largo numbers. 'The room was handsomely decorated with flowers and banners, on which wore in sorioed: “Love,” “His Banner Over Us Was Lovo," and similar inscriptions. When Mr. Bccchor appeared in tho room, after receiving tho greetings of all his friends m tho church below, bo was received whh loud and long-con tinued applause. At its close a young ladv sang “ Homo, Sweat Homo,” to nn accompaniment, which was followed utter brief intervals by the songs “ Auld Lang Syne," “Tho Last Itoso of Bummer,” “Tho Marseillaise," and other well known airs. Mr. Beecher then promenaded through the room and hold brief conversations with those present, which brought tho proceed ings to a termination. BEEOHERIANA. Vinv* of ISclurioiis I'aporn, DR. BELLOWS OK MR. BEECHER'S “ UNACCOUNTA BLE ’* CONDUCT. Prom the Liberal Ciirteltan {Unitarian), For mouths and years tbo American people have refused to believe ovil of Mr. Boucher. Statements, which, mode concerning any other man would have necessitated an examination and refutation, have boon thought unworthy of no tion when made concerning him. Humors, which either should have been confirmed or suouhi have blasted those who started them, have been deemed but old wives' tales because Mr. Beecher was their subject. Surely there was never a grander example of tbo power of established character to resist a fearful assault, and of tho constancy of tho people to one whom it has boon tboir delight to honor. Standing thus as tbo trusted friend of tho whole people and as a revered preacher of tho Gospel of Jesus Christ, Mr. Beecher owes to tho people and to tho Gospel sacred duties. Tho peo ple have maintained their faith iu him ; they have a right to oxocct that their faith shall bo changed to knowledge. To tho Gospel of Christ ho owes bis position and his power; it is duo that Gospel that by fail and clear examination bo overthrow tho black charges that have boon pre ferred against him. Tims far iu this wretched scandal Mr. Beecher has been acting on tho de fensive. It is evident that he attempted to ignore the scandal, even after it acquired wide circula tion. His Committee of Investigation was ap pointed by himself, at a late hour, and from among his most devoted personal friends. This Committee from its very nature could not bo im partial in its proceedings; it seemed to make no earnout effort to socuro tho testimony of most important witnesses, such as Mr. Bowen, Miss Anthony, and others whom wo might name; its croHs-oxamiuatioub wore necessarily on one side; Us report, to say tho least, failed to moot tho just expectations of thonghtfulnion. Moreover, its seeming attempts to blacken tbo ebarautor of ovory witness who has testified against Mr. Beecher were most astonishing and alarming to those who had expected perfectly fair-dealing from tho church that stands as a "most conspic uous exponent of Christianity. Mr, Tilton's sworn statement before the Com mittee astounded tho whole country by its quo tations from Mr. Beecher’s letters. Sir. Moulton's second statement, while it seems most malicious and vindictive, nevertheless contains mucli mut ter that apparently strengthens tho case against Mr. Beecher. Mr. Tilton’s last statement, writ ten with an eloquence and power that almost compel tbo reader to believe iu his truthfulness, adds largely to the documentary testimony and circumstantial evidence that require explanation and refutation. Mr. Beecher's own letters are the strongest evidence against him. His explan ations of those letters ail would bo glad to be hove, but those explanations aro so extraordin ary, so contrary to what had boon known of Mr. Boocbcr, so opposed to all ordinary use of lan guage and to generally-received psychology, that they need tlio support of very strong collateral evidence, which there seems no hooo of educing except In a court of law. Mr. Tilton and Mr. Moulton bnvo published the blackest charges against tho honor of Mr. Bocchor, and they support those charges by a remarkable array of documents ami circum stances and cited witnesses. Tho accusers are not insignificant men. One of them was for years tho chosen companion, counselor, and fol low-worker of Mr. Beochor. Tho other, only a few weeks ago, Mr. Boocherdoelnrod to bo tho Post friend God over raised up. Those men pub lished those charges weeks ago, yet Mr. Beecher ami Plymouth Church have tukcu no stops to sue them for libel, have taken no stops to refuto in a court of Jaw those monstrous charges, made by responsible men against tbo foremost preach er in tho world I That this should bo so is un accountable. Mr. Boochor’s good name and the honor of tho Christian Church alike demand that the accusers be compelled to provo their case in tho courts. There are very many people whose faith in Mr. Beecher has thus far boon unshaken, who are amazed that bo does not take tho of fensive in tho most vigorous manner. Unless ho does take the offensive and prosecute those accusers with tlio utmost energy, a cloud will inevitably settle noon tho brightest name which has been ohoriuUou iu tbo people’s hearts. “ PROFOUND AND PAINFUL IMPRESSION." Front f/id a<*k* Font Observer {l*r<sb}ttcrfitn), Mr. Tilton’s paper has produced a more pro found and painful impression than any of tho documents hitherto published on the subject.

Only when tho authors of all thono “ statements " are put upon tho stand nnd made to testify solemnly before tho law und before God, can we hope to know tho absolute truth. ’* WILL HOLD GOOD UNTIL OVKUTULOWN.” train tht ChrUUan Lta4*f, Mr. Tilton fans brought oat another “ state ment, which produces evidence and demands , u nothing ooaalaslve la It, but Us positions will hold good until overthrown by counter-evidence. Iflodlton. “ OWE UIM HT.LT> I” Fro\n the Hew i'ork tlraphio. Tho proceedings against Mr. Francis D, Moul ton in Brooklyn show tho samo vindictive spirit which was displayed by the Plymouth Church members when they proposed to “ Give him hell I" and assaulted him nt tbo oloso of a Friday night prayer-mooting. Mr. Moullou has boon inuiefod by tho Brooklyn Grand Jury for some alleged libel upon which ho had boon previously sued by Miss Proctor. Tho offouuo la techni cally a misdemeanor, and is punishable by a fine not exceeding $250 or imprisonment for a period uot longer than ono your, or by both lino nml imprisonment, Yet on this charge Mr. Moulton has boon hold to bail in tho sum of 020.000. Tho amount of bail thus de manded is unprecedented In the circumstances— so,ooo being the largest amount over required for a person charged with asimnlo misdemeanor. Tho desire to 44 give Mr, Moulton hell” is evi dently still burning in tho breasts of Mr, Boochor’s worshipers. If they succeed lu mak ing the law courts subaorviout to their partisan purposes, a Brooklyn court will hereafter bo nearly ns disreputable as tho loading Brooklyn church. Tho extracts which wo give from tho Evangelist tho Examiner and Chronicle, and oilier’ religious papers, show tho estimation in which Mr. Moullou is hold by tho most sober classes of the community. “a sutfioikst and a wortrt motive.” t'rom the AVw York KvanaclM. Some of tho parties to tho Hcamlal iiavo been showered with obloquy quite beyond their desert. Wo are euro that tbo motive, which impelled Mr. Moulton at tho start, but which speedily carried him too far within tho torriblo labyrinth to re treat—namely, that of Hhioldmg tho innocent children of tbo principals—commended itself to our impartial renders os both a sufliciont and a worthy motive. And though ho may have orrod in judgment, it is not yet apparent that ho hud solllnh cuds of any sort to further by hla inter ference. It was a friendly oftlou, in his under standing of.it, that ho undertook and persisted in. On his own showing, however, wo aro freo to say ho wont a good deal too far. It is impos sible that any man should emerge from such surroundings with unsoilod garments. Bat it nevertheless seems to us that Mr. Moulton may fairly crave, at this stage of proceedings, a share of that suspense of Judgment which has boon so notably ana honorably observed in behalf of Hr. Bocchor. •* WHO IS MU. MOULTON ? ” Fnm the Examiner and Chronicle* Tljo quentiou, “ Who is Mr. Moulton ? M is usked us by so many rondora that wo will say ho is the sou of Sovoru D.
