I48SIUI CHWHTXAJTITV AHI THE 9L'A*EFCALA Tbfcre la *h *Uempt in certain quarters to make liberal Christianity and the wo« tn&ti suffrage movement responsible for tWreoeBt developments in Plymouth (liurch. Mr. Beecher bit tbe emlnect representative of liberal religion, sod! (Mteli women who tun beset unfortunate enough to km their mam ooofieetod with ths sesndsVluwe figured prominently in the woman movement hecee liberal religion and tbe taflafi movement «n Mmdtod with tbe paternity of the scandal. this is just as consistent ss to hold orthodox religion responsible for the occasional heinous transgression of a Glendenlng causePyron was a libertine, to proaouSw» debaa«hf ry the Intimate offspring of Foetiy. Whether Mr. Beecher 1« guilty of tbe erime with wHlch lw la charged or not can have nothing to do with the character of the doctrine* he has pmarihri Hh proafhing and his living may be ftur separated, it is true, but hlx» preaching may be good however bad bin living may he. It is a strange thing if the troth or fa«tyf the excel lenoe or evil of his preaching could not be determined until It was known whether his own conduct was spotless or not. Yet it would seem that such a decision was not ahietfe bf reached 1q c&rtataq uarters until this scandal Hfte it« hideous firont. Mr. Beecher's sermons were beard every Sunday by hundreds of people, they were cirual&ted in the iwwspapers throughout tbe length .and breadth of the land, were printed and bound in volumes and stood on the shelve* of thousands of libraries, but all this time we were not told that Ply mouth Church was teaching immorality and corrupting the morals of the nation. Soihr from that tbe preacher ol these doctrines was loved, honored and respected everywhere, and tbe world appeared to be his pariah. Butoo softer, had this dark, flstaale incubus at the "Scandal" risen like an exhalation from the earth, spreading its poisonous influence like the mythical Upas tree, than perforce It l* taken to be symbolical of ths r$g'.oii of Plymouth Church and is made its interpreter. It was only after .these recent developments that one of &he leading^jonrmte of New York could kpftfck so

v-
There is an end of what may be called the Religion of Gush. For many years Plymouth church, under the miniatratioits of a clergyman of incomparable eloquence, has been worshipping
sentiment rather than revelation, gei oaity la place of truth, kindness in the place of faith, the eloquence ot one man, rather than tbe teachings of the Master, Henry Ward Beecher in the place of Jesus Christ. Religion has not been a
matter of discipline or duty, with re* ward:-! anil punishments—only adav'g picnic in the woods. No matter what deviation from the codes that, written M»*h»«ablss«f stoma at Sinai, have bea» tltftoftnlie fodfalaftoiii of every Christ&g Church, no matter how far we might -^IMb fcuRi tkese unalterable laws, all vrasl)right 6n Sunday morning, all our sins were forgotten in the eloquence of Henrv Ward Beecher. There was no punishment, no discipline! Life had no necessary duties. Sin as we might, there was always a welcome and a blessing at the altar of^l&pgMith churth
This is one of toast. lamen^bl^ phases of this wfeoteraissrable baainn—, that liberal religion, hopeful, Joyous, sanny religion, of which we ail have need and for which «|K»waaK»|or have waited and hungefed, sSufl it ltd first bright dbwnigg, Be by such a cloud of sin and shame.

That Delilah is me modern choir, it has done a miserabje. work—it has well nigh destroyed congregational singing. It has given us a substitute. Bttt what a substitute it is! Solos, duets, quartets, and a ceaseless wnocearfon of new tunes, manv of theiu executed after the most approved operatic style. The congregation sits by and quietly witnesses the performance. That might do well enough tor an opera house, but it certainly ill befits God's sanctuary,"
The remedy suggested is that our choirs limit themselves to a repertoire of the grandest old congregation times— fow enough, for the time, to train the Whole people tottfetraccurateme.
