Reverend Henry Ward Beecher had returned recently from a lengthy tour of Europe to his home pastorate at Brooklyn, New York's Plymouth Church. Despite very poor weather, a large gathering of church members greeted him at a celebration in the Sunday Schoolroom of the church in the evening. The following day he gave a public speech on his travels. (By John Osborne)
