Henry Ward Ueecher delivered a lecture on
Trenching," to the students of the Theologi
cal Seminary, in- New York, the other even
ing. Many others of both Hexes were present
to hear the lecture, which was given in Mr.
Beecher'a best vein. Af tor narrating his own
first experience in preaching, he said: Young
gentlemen, when you have received all the
instruction that can be given yon here, you
will find that there in that which cannot be
imparted in the lecture-room. There is that
which has got to be learned by trying.
Preaching is a trade, and must bo learned as
such. You would suppose that n man who
would attempt to make a watch without hav
ing loarned the watchmaker's business would
have poor success, or to command a fleet
never having learned navigation or naval
drill. If the man should say, "I cannot do
it," it would not Burprise you. If business
requires so high an order of talent, or such
special and well-drilled knowledge, certainly
preaching does; and yet people supposo it is
one of thoso things vhich comes as a gift of
nature. Many of its adaptations do, but the
business itself has got to be learned, and
never will be learned in the lecture-room.
Mr. Bcocher here said that he didn't mean
to undervalue theological preliminary study
that their whole after ministry would feel
the effect of their fidelity and thoroughness
here. "I was a vigorous student," said he,
in spots (laughter,), and I look back
with regret to every one of thoso spots that
I didn't cultivate." If ho had to go through
a seminary again, he would got all the know
ledge it would give. Ho would gorge. If
you are weak, you will be thrown out of
the ministry and that won t hurt you. If
Btrong, you will find tha things you study
here aro not the things that you
will most need, though they will give
you impetus and bo of the great
est use to you. I say this because you
will be discouraged at first. You will feel as
if you were all at sea. You don't understand
how to get hold of people. This is the expe
rience of ten thousand men who had to creep
before walking, and walk before running. It
is your own familiarity with work, littlo by
little, year by year, your contact with human
nature, that is going to make you ministers.
There are two elements in every truly Chris
tian ministry, the Divine and the Human.
The grand instrument tho minister employs
is his knowledge of divine truth, his know
lodge of God in Christ Jesus. Preaching is
the utterance of. tho life and soul of Christ in
so far as you have been able to take it into
yours. For I hold that we aro but extensions
of God, and that Christ brought down into
this world was tho truest manhood expressed
in tho world, or ever will be. We are ablo to
reproduce in ourselves, in small degrees, the
divine naturo, and when a man is filled with
this spirit and then brings it to bear
upon hia fellow-men, ho is a Christian
preacher. Tho other element is tho human
element. You are employing all this know
ledge of the Divino nature for the purpose
of producing definite results upon tho minds
of your fellow-men. Here are two elements,
two main things a Christian preacher ought
to know: First, Christ, in Him tho hope of
glory; and second, 'I could show myself ac
cursed for my brethren's sake." He must
have a feeling of intense sympathy, affection,
yearning towards men. These are the two
elements. Mr. Beechor said that his first
criticism on much of tho preaching now in
vogue would be that it is a preaching about
trod. You must distinguish between that
part of a minister's life which is lectureship
ana tnat part wiiicn is preaciung. The preach
ing part of man is the heart power, the kind
ling of enthusiasm by enthusiasm, love by
love. The chiet instrument of your own
ministry is that subtlo underlying element
that fires up your consciousness; every single
thing you do, it is that sonso of Christ in
yon. Young gentlemen, I give this as my
testimony to you: If God has blessed my
labor, it bos been becauso I have had a
fervent, growing, intense personal love
for Christ, and admiration unspeak
able. It has been the mainspring
of my ministry. Mr. Beecher then impressed
on his hearers tho importance of closet devo
tion. If we aro to preach Christ wo must
be ourselves like Iliad. He loved to do good,
not npon earth alone, but He lives forever,
and sympathizes for others acts for others.
It is that which is moving the universe to
day. If, therefore, a man goes into the min
istry, thinking that he is the great engineer
of the machine, that his whole business is to
keep the instrument all oiled and scoured, he
is not a preacher he is a conductor (laugh
ter) a freshman. (Laughter.) "It is better
to be a doorkeeper," etc. The truo preacher
not only has heaven in his soul, but God in
hia head. It is very easy to baptize a man's
forehead, but to wash folks' feet is very dif
ferent, and ministers that take to one extremo
don't like the other. (Laughter.) Christ
Bays, "I am the way." as if He laid down and
fiaid, "Now, walk on me; let me bear
np your weakness." This is very hard to
vanity, very hard to pride, but you must be
servants for Christ's Rake. It is hard to
everything but love. To love it is natural,
Sweet, omnipotent. Mr. Beecher then criti
cized the mistakes of people who graduate
from a seminary. They think they are all
equipped when they leave, lie thought the
. most important chair in the seminary was
that of the pastor of theology, and that
Uhould occupy largely the last years of semi
nary life, that is, teaching men how to use
what they learn. A young minister must be
like an engineer, the moment he sees a man
he must go about him as he would about a
fort, and see where he can get in. (Laughter.)
He must bombard him at once. (Laughter.)
There are comparatively but few ministers
that sort out their congregation. Some be
lieve in Divino sovereignty, and they preach
in gross, an let God retail it in His provi
dence. (Here the students testified their ap
preciation by prolonged laughter.) Mr.
Beecher then told them how lie made his own
sermons. They are always made on typical
caaes.. When he knows of a quarrel be
tween two people he studies their
.different natures, and a sermon grows
out of it, and without a single allusion to
- the case the work is done, for ho strives to
elevate their whole temperament, so as to
bring to their mind the ugliness of the quarrel.
Study each of your eon gregation. Breaching
is picking out men, and then aiming right be
tween the eyes, and then if you don't hit don't
blame anybody but yourself. (Laughter.)
If you want to have a comfortable ministry
take all the blame of anything that goes
wrong in your pariah. It economizes im
mensely. (Laughter.) You have got to put
yourself in their places. You have got to
know how a mean man feels. This is various
ly difficult or easy, according to one's tom
peramt nt. The speaker then warned them
against the liability of becoming "caste"
E Teachers, He would call no names, but he
ad in his mind one whom they vould not
suspect, noble in scholarship, noblo ia heart,
and whose Jackets I am not worthy to pu-
We; but hta fruit is comparatively
wne.ll in preaching, and 1 have
often talked with him and said: "Sir, yon
have a sympathy with God, but yon haven't
a particle of sympulby with man. You are
all the time thinking of God's honor, God's
glory, which is all very well; but you don't
think of man, and the consequence is you
are a caste preacher." There is another that
preaches ideas almost wholly. He preaohes
a sermon that is a thoroughbred intellectual
sermon. Some of his flock are overjoyed at
it, and, said Mr. Beecher, humorously, they
say to him, "The most refreshing sermon wo
have heard for years," and that thing goes on,
and he wants to preach another sermon, and
he knows that every time he throws such a
club the apples will fall. (Laughter.) Never
E reach twice alike. Home preachers let tho
istory of years' sermons be like a string of
sausoges hanging in the shop. Two sausages
there, two there, two there, and he takes them
up from the bottom, and every one is made of
precisely the same meat all through. (Pro
longed laughter.) Mr. Beecher closed with
the remark that sermons ought to have feet,
and ought to run all the way through from
beginning to end.
American Wjc-iiInl.or..
From the rail Mall Gazette.
In Bpito of our national rivalry with our
twin section of the Anglo-Saxon race, wo nvo
driven in candor to admitthero are things in
which tho Americans aro our masters; things,
too, where we might put forward claims of
our own not lightly to bo dismissed. We may
fairly boast ourselves a speculative people,
although our speculative bursts are followed
by their intervals of reaction, lhreo years
and a half ago tho patriotic Unton might
have pointed with honest pride to the evi
dences of thin country s enterprise Its
credit stood pledged for capital mauy times in
excess of its possible resources; it had pushed
the business of bubble-blowing to an excess
but faintly foreshadowed in tho wildest days
of the South-Soa scheme; its directors, Samson-like,
were pulling world-famed houses
about the cars of their shareholders, their
customers, and themselves. A eood deal of
animation shows itself at times on tho Place
de la Bourse and the Boulevards des Italicns
when the Emperor and tho empire have been
given over. Even tho phlegmatic and careful
Hollanders have given pledges enough to ca
pricious fortune to get up an excitement
when Amsterdam is caught in the back
rush of a panic wave. Yet against
anything to be seen in tho Old World scenes
to be witnessed in the purlieus of tho Bank
of England may fairly claim to hold their own
But there is a hardihood about American
speculators which, whilo it commands our in.
voluntary admiration, ensures striking stage
effects and a piny of tragic passion beside
which our most praiseworthy attempts are
paltry. We do not speak now of the grandeur
of American conceptions, of the colossal scale
and unfaltering resolution with which they
are corned out, nor o: tho patient yet bnl
Jiant strategy which seeks its strength in
federation; we allude to tho chivalry with
which their financiers calmly elect to mea.
sure their strength against each other, fight
ing over the mangled public carcass for a
monopoly of tho public spoil. It is tho dif
ferenco between highway robbery and petty
larceny, between "Fra Diavolo" and "Schin
derhannes" and "Fagin" and tho "Artful
Dodger." Our English public depredators
prefer tho safer game. They chloroform their
victims with mondacious prospectuses, fal
lacious speeches, and falsified accounts.
They thrust themselves on the public notice
as littlo as they can holp, except indeed when
advertising themselves indirectly in .non-professional
parts as chairmen of religious meet
ings and directors of charitablo societies.
They never care to attract the attention of
the police of tho press, and although, of
course, they will drain each other's pockets
on occasion, never seize each other by tho
throat with an order to stand and deliver.
True Jemmy Twitchers, their hearts are
craven. If the very shareholders only show
a bold front, their oppressors are cowed at
once, and ready to buy their safety by turn
ing Queen's evidence, even by a sacrifice of
a portion of their ill-gotten booty.
The late drama in Wall street, on tho other
hand, suggests a number of ennobling
images gorged vultures whetting their cruel
beaks for internecine battle; troops of rival
Indian braves on the war path levelling their
lances at each other's breasts, their spoil to be
the prize of the winner; bandits in the Mexi
can sierras quitting the cards - and tho
national moro for their knives. No man, per
haps, has made a greater name of lato in the
country of "remarkable men" than Mr. James
Fisk, jun. Possibly tho lcal press of New
York have by this time traced their hero's
antecedents back to his cradle; his nurse, if
he had one, or if she still survives, has doubt
less been freely "interviewed," and her
memory lavishly refreshed . by agents of the
"Sewer" and the "Stabber." To us in tho
old world Mr. Fisk seems to have grown into
a mammoth financier as Chicago grew into a
city. Whatever he may have been a little
time back, now his name is a household word
in many a household American, Eng
lish, and German. The Turks say that
curses, like chickens, como homo to roost;
and in that case Mr. Fisk must be the causa
of most of the holders of Erie stock having a
very pretty poultry yard full of execrations.
Mr. Fisk's express career along the Erie line
is a happy illustration of tho value of being
born where all men are equal, and where the
humblest citizen has equal rights with the
richest. It would have been absolutely im
possible in an effete country like ours, where
old-fashioned judges stand upon the purity of
their ermine, and give up accepting retainers
after they ascend tho bench. But with all
implied in his favor by his birthright in the
free soil of Columbia, Mr. Fisk has good rea
son to be proud of tho brilliant audacity that
made him what he is. Ho burned his boats,
and staked on an unfailing run of luck in his
favor. So long as he was in high feather he
might soar what flights he pleased, but should
chance once strip him of his plumes, he must
nave foreseen his possible fate. There are
lampposts in Broadway, and when ho lost the
means that had propitiated tho more regular
kind of judge, he might well be dragged be
fore the judgment seut of Lynch. We dwell
on this point becauso what attracts us to Mr
l'lsk, m ppite of the less amenable weak
nesses, is the brilliant daring that scorned to
leave well alone. Ho bad enriched himself
"beyond tho dreams of avarice." He had
earned an unimpeachable title to tho respect
' of Wall street, of all the men whoso opinion
I is the least worth having, and who form tho
backbone of publia sentiment in the States,
I Like most great conquerors, ho oould look
back complacently on tho sonsation he had
made in the world in his time. In the fair
' way of trado he had brought ruin and misery
I to as many hearths in the Union as General
' Sherman on tho grand march. Ho might
, surely have been contented to rest on his
I laurels; to withdraw into comparatively pri
vate life, carrying with him, perhaps, tho un
I fortunate Erie for a plaything, amusing hiui
sen by giving tne unlucky shareholders an
occasional fright and squeeze. But he loved
the gnme for its own sake, and then he felt
himself a nooTer man than Vanderbilt. We
would not do him the injustice to suppose he
could not control the demons he hAd cvoaeu,
end that the partners he had used in former
campaigns, appreciating his courage and
conduct, insisted on his leading them to fresh
victories. Be that as it may, he decided on a
deliberate attack, and picked out the biggest
man in America, his old enemy "Commodore'
Vanderbilt. The commodore is rumored to
possess property to the value of X1(!,000,000;
he .could count upon the influence
that amount of capital must represent in an
aristocracy of wealth, and on the hosts of
allies the veteran had attached by a long life
of almost unbroken success. The antagonists
were not ill-matched, and tho result a battle
of the giants. Ordinary investors, even
moderate speculators, when they came to look
after their scraps of property, wore drawn
into it whether they liked or not. But they
counted for cyphers. At each gigantic stride
of advance or retreat the combatants crushed
them under their feet by hundreds. Tho
nominal gold sales of a single day amounted
to 825,000,0(10 dollars; the actual bullion that
changed hands to 2,000,000 dollars; the possi
ble bullion within roach and call to 20,000,000
dollars. Never, perhaps, was there so sub.
lime an assertion of the great principle of
credit, of the legitimate facilities accorded to
commerce in an energetic community. That
was something like a battle, and speculation
could boast of its fanatics and its martyrs.
Pending ultimate results, for tho timo tho
combatants thought nothing of their own
wounds, only of the injury they could do their
enemies. Thanks to tho suaaonncss ot the
onset and the excellence of tho combinations
that havecainedhimhis8obriqnetof the Admi
ral, Fisk's audacitycamenearbeingjustified by
success. But, like many other great com
manders, he found what promised to bo a
clorious victory was chanced to disastrous
defeat by the impetuosity of his troops. In
stead of contenting themselves with occupy
ing tho field, capturing the enemy's guns,
and dictating their own terms, Fisk's friends
insisted upon following their adversaries to
utter annihilation. A fraternal government
had thrown down its truncheon without pro
ducing tho slighest effect, now it interposed
its force majeure for the protection of tho
weaker friends of its own. The hosts of
Fisk were panic-stricken, to tho utter discom
fiture of their leaders, borne of them fell on
their swords, or, more prosaically, hanged
themselves. It is impossible not to feel for
the bitter disappointment of the commander-
in-chief, but the history of the battles relates
that he was equal to either fortune, and all
that an able general could do ho did. He
utterly declined to meet his obligations. Ho
repudiated the contracts made for him by his
agents. He disowned all connection with
those most fatally compromised, and thanks
to the promptitude with which ho executed
this strategical movement in retreat,
will not improbably survive to fight
another day, and be a formidable enemy
aeam. We fear much is lost, but his honor
is safe. Excited small investors, whoso miser
able little fortunes have been wrecked by his
necessities, threatened him indeed with tho
last penalty of tho law. Tho allies who say
ho has swindled them, in the first violence of
their passion and tho initial stages of their in.
solvency loaded him with abuse. But in the
depths of their hearts we may depend upon it
that the one ana tho other uo lull justice to
his 'cuteness, and, like the hill tribes who
worship tho Devil, are likely lor tho future to
hold him in higher reverence than ever. We
do not quarrel with their natural enthusiasm,
although we scarcely share it. It is to her
speculators that America owes her growing
greatness; it is better for the promise of her
future that thev should err on the side of
rashness, and patriotic units should be proud
to be ruined for the general good. Still even
in the holiest of wars we may spare a tear to
the dead and wounded that strew tho battle
field. There is a good deal of private incon
venience represented by Government se
curities fluctuating 0 per cent., whilo rail
way stocks sink by 30, and miscellaneous
scrip sells for waste paper. Tho victims may
have found it temporarily soothing, the spec-
tacle of some of Mr. Fisk's agonts suspending
themselves and others suspending payment
But that comfort will pass, and leave them to
regrets periodically renewed at tho terms thoir
annual dividends used to fall duo. Then tho
further question arises where can a prudent
American mvesti" it is mucn as it no was
driven to choose a site for his residence on
ouakiner boc of different degrees of tenacity,
Tho very Government stocks may go down six
i i ii.. ht r:..i.
per cent, or mora at mo uuu ut a ni . a- ion,
while apparently any director may qualify
himself at common law to help himself just as
he pleases to his constituents' money. The
difference between the countries seems to be
this the English may speculate, but tho
Americans must. On the whole, although
our system may cramp the national growth
and narrow the field of enterprise, perhaps it
is the better calculated in the long run to
ensure the happiness of the many.
