I must say that sinners attempted to run but tlie God that speaks on high slopped them in their mad care.cr. Bishop J. W.

The Bishop then ] remarked, tlie first thought was the I ; question asked, and the second thought the answer given. He then j ! pursued a regular course confining I j himself, first upon man and his duty, mid especially the ministry. lie | spoke in high terms of a regular , minister who had forsaken all and ; | follow cd Christ, that ministers who I for >k all for < T.list's sake, have nt> I business in the cotton field, but I l.i - husiuesr is to preach the gospel, i He then showed to his congregation I how ready Christ is to forgive tin in ■ that forsake all :,u. I passed through there I also in the week. Elder J. A. Tyler at Newberin gave me 83. traveling expenses out of his own purse.

But now we intend to awake up out of sleep, and go to work for Zion and as I have promis ed them that J would try to publish their names in the Educator, I hope sir that they will appear in the paper as follows: Mr. W.

Stewart [From Harper's Weekly.] , : Thus far. t.:c havq endeavored simply to,tell the story of the case withoi's interjecting into tlie narra tive our own perronal sympathies, prejudices, or judgment.... Those sympathies are nevertheless very strong, that judgment is ve>-y clear. Under a careful analysis the evidence against Mr. Beecher utterly fails. It would not suffice against a man much less strongly intrenched in public esteem than lie; against his pure life and noble character it breaks in vain,.as the form of the angry ocean agaiuat tho cliff which it can obscure but can not destroy. The case Is one e£conspin>oy against a good gnd great, though careless man, hut a conspiracy which grew rather than was formed, which was the natural product ,of the jealousy of self-conciet rather than the de liberate contrivance of greed. On the pne side is a man the greatness of whose heart and the credulity of wbosq sympathies are at once his genius and his weakness; on the other is a man whose insane jealousy is tin; natural though deadly fruit of an insane self-conceit, imbittered by a spirit of personal and fell re venge. ... - The key to the comprehension of ihis-whole case is Mr. Tilton’s frank declaration: “I resolved to smite Mr. Beecher to the heart.” Tho arrow was well fashioned, the bow welt bent, but the destroyer has failed of his purpose, aud when posterity, wiser than we, reads tho history of this case, it will houor, not less than the nohl.o achievements of Henry Ward Becqhur’s noble lite, the no ! less noble failure of the patience and j magnanimity of bis only too chiral i is- and uniiappyily unsuccessful endeavor to shield “all the other, hearts that would ache” ffpnv the publication of the famous Brooklyn scandal.
