Perhaps no one during the first half of the nineteenth century was more closely connected with the better life of A merica, both in its religious and in its reformatory aspects, than Lyman Beecher. Not only were his own activities wide-spread and effective, but he seemed like a broad and fertile tree, which had sent out many shoots to extend and continue his influence. In this respect a suggestive parallel might be drawn between the Beecher family in this country, and that of the Wesleys in England. The latter stood at the turning-point in the eighteenth century when a moral awakening was demanded, and inaugurated a movement which was to antagonize with the forces of freedom the more formal tendencies in religion.
