BEECHER’S CHURCH.
PLYMOUTH IS ABOUT TO CELEBRATE
(TS SEMICENTENNIAL. *
NBiatory of Che Moat Famous Chwreh In
She CUff of Churches—The Wart .of
Boocher Md His Worthy Successor.
Iffmaa Abbott.
On Nov. 11.450 years ago, Henry Ward
Beecher was installed as pastor of Plym
outh church, and it is that date rather
■than the one <on which the church was
organized which has been chosen as the
time for holding the services in com
memoration of the semicentennial. It
is a delicate tribute to the great preach
er, without whom the church would
never have become such a powerful and
influential factor in national life.
The plain brick building, without
tower or steeple or any outward sugges
tion of its character, was built on Cran
berry street, Brooklyn,, in 1823, and was
occupied from then until 1847 by the
First Presbyterian church. In the latter
year the edifice, having become unsuit
ed to the uses of the fashionable congre
gation of the Rev. S. H. Cox and hav
ing been abandoned for a larger and
finer structure on Henry street, wa9
placed on the market Three wealthy
business men, members of existing Con
gregational churches, united in pur
chasing the property for $20,000 and
joined hands in forming a society to
occupy it.
This movement was begun in May,
1847, and on May 16 the church was
opened for services. Mr. Beecher, who
was then a young and almost unknown
preacher, was pastor of a church in In
dianapolis, but was in New York for
the purpose of attending some church
anniversaries. He had made aoveral ad
dresses, and among his hearers were the
men who were about to launch the new
enterprise. They were impressed with
his simple, direct, earnest eloquence,
and they invited him to preach at the
opening services. He accepted and, sin
gular as it may seem, preached to big
audiences at both the morning and
evening services, although the event
had been hastily and scantily advertised.
Then Mr. Beecher went back to In
dianapolis, and the business of organiz
ing the new society went on. On Mon
day evening, June 14, the church and
society met to choose a pastor, and en
thusiastically voted to extend a call to
the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. At that
time thfe society had just 21 members.
During the summer the church was
kept open ani the pulpit supplied by
various clergymen. On Aug. 19 Mr.

Beecher accepted the call, but did not
commence his labors until the first Sun
day of the following October.
From the first the attendance was
large in spite of the fact that the church
of the learned, eloquent and popular
Dr. Storrs, of the same denomination,
was only a short distance away. But
the congregations increased until Plym
outh. chjjrch began to be .filled from the
THE NEW WAY.
PTWOMEN used
to think “fe
male diseases ”
could on 1 y be
treated after “lo
c’a 1 examina
tions” by physi
cians. Dread of
such treatment
kept thousands of
modest women
silent about their -
.suffering. The in
troduction of
Wine of Cardui has now demon
strated that nine-tenths of all the
, cases of menstrual disorders do
not require a physician’s attention
at all. The simple, pure
WineWi
taken In the privacy of a wotnan’s
own home insures quick relief and
speedy cure. Women need not
hesitate now. Wine of Cardui re
quires no humiliating examina
tions for its adoption. It cures any
disease that comes under the head
of "female troubles"—disordered
menses, fallirg of the womb,
"whites,” change of life. It makes
women beautiful by making them
well. It keeps them young by
keeping them healthy. SI.OO, at

pulpit to the outer doors, as it was tor
more than 40 years.
During the first tea years of Mr.
Beecher’s ministry the pew rentals
amounted to $161,569, during the sec
ond ten years to $423,209 and during
the third decade to $554,855.
In the meantime Plymouth chnrch
had become a power in the land and
had broadened out locally until it exer
cised an important influence throughout
Brooklyn. Missions, clubs, societies and
other relative organizations were estab
lished which brought Plymouth church
into close touch with a large number of
people in the great city.
But it was the pulpit utterances of
the pastor, his broad, liberal views on
national affairs and particularly his
bold utterances on the slavery question
which spread the fame of Plymouth
church over two continents. After his
famous trip to" England in 1863 it is
safe to say that few individuals of the
English speaking race remained who
had not heard of Plymouth church. In
that plain, unpretentious edifice on
Cranberry street, which looks the same
today as it did half a century ago, were
spoken words which thrilled the nation
—words which even found an echo on
the other side of the ocean.
A stranger in New York, it is said,
asked of a passerby one Sunday morn
ing, “Howcan 1 find Plymouth church?’’
“Cross Fulto'n ferry and follow the
crowd, ” was the terse reply.
It is small wonder that after Mr.
Beecher’s death a portion of the congre
gation doubted that any man qualified
to fill Plymouth ch tti’ch pulpit could be
found in America. So a call was extend
ed to Rev. Charles A. Berry of Wolver
hampton, England, a talented and woijld
famed Congregatiouaiist. He visited
Brooklyn, but declined the call. He
will, by the way, preach the golden
jubilee sermon on Nov 7 next
Rev Lyman Abbott was finally
chosen, and he has in a remarkable de
gree won and held the confidence of
Mr. Beecher’s old parishioners and kept
Plymouth church from lapsing into
mediocrity. Andrew Downs.

A Man of Action.
In a provincial town three men were
in love with the same girl, the elderly
widower foolishly, the impecunious
younger ’son passionately, the curate
mildly.
The elderly widower, who had four
children, talked to her about the advan
tages of a comfortable income and ma
ternal duties. The impecunious younger
son raved about romantic marriages
and the picturesque side of poverty.
The curate ate buttered toast and lisped
on indifferent subjects.
The girl listened to the elderly wid
ower with a demure smile and a coy
blush. She sat with clasped hands and
a burning face, eagerly drinking in the
impecunious younger son’s - flights of
imagination. While the curate cooed
she knitted red petticoats for paupers.
The elderly widower proposed. His
tone was moderate, his language digni
fied. He hade her pause and reflect.
The two most desirable things in the
world was in his power to offer her—a
Christian home and a ready made fam
ily-
She thanked him with tears in her
eye's and took a week to think it over.
The impecunious younger son also
proposed. He pleaded passionately, elo
quently. Let her fly with him, he
urged, to the uttermost ends of the
earth, not a prosaic, inexpensive rail
way journey somewhere within reach,
but a regular extravagant expedition to
the antipodes, utterly beyond their
means. He clasped her in his arms, and
she sobbed upon his breast

Whooping like wild Indians, and finally

The trouble started in Newsies' alley,
upon which the mailing rooms of the

tween the negro and white newsboys.
At dusk the “Bungalows,” a fighting
organization of Irish lads, formed near
the Park theater, and at about the same
time the negro newsboys assembled
north of the statehouse.
The police were informed of the as
semblage and sent patrol wagons to the
scene to disperse them. They only suc
ceeded in breaking them ud into squads
and there began a wild chase through
the streets and allevs. first one gang in
pursuit and then another. There were
frequent collisions of detachments ot
the'opp'isiug armies and fists, clubs and
Stones were freely used.
Tlia police .succeeded in capturing
several of the leaders on both sides, but
it was an hour before quiet was re
stored. Three of the White boys had
broken heads, one of them, named John
Donahue, being severely hurt. One
negro boy suffered from a broken arm.
another a broken leg and several or
