Show needier on the Bead Cardinal. New Yobk, October 11. Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, was thronged to-day by an unusually unusu-ally attentive audience, who believed Henry "Ward Beecher would make some referonce to the death of Cardinal McClosky. Beecher spoke on the resurrection and the translation transla-tion of the spiritual in man to heaven. In conclusion, he said: "That dear old man that has gone up from among those who loved him, leaves behind be-hind his cardinal's throne, the purple of his robes, and his tiara. It was well enough he should have them, and the symbols of his authority, but the moment he emerged into that other life he stood in his spiritual entirety, where his temple was his lord. When he lifts his venerable head he will be young, young in the presence of his God, and he will remain with those whom he has consigned to destruction, for they will be there, too. I rejoice in his translation, as I do of all the saints. This is the testimony of a Protestant. Remember, Remem-ber, you could not make a Catholic out of me, any more than you could make an eagle chained in a barn-yard lay eggs." |
