Summary
Henry Ward Beecher (June 24, 1813 - March 8, 1887) was a Congregationalist clergyman, social reformer and speaker, known for his support of the abolition of slavery and his emphasis on God's love. In one of a series of lectures to honor his father, Lyman Beecher, he waxes rhapsodic about the pipe organ: “I look upon the history and development of the organ for Christian use as a sublime instance of the guiding hand of God’s providence”. Beecher describes the sound of the organ as a flood that brings power to the people, encircles and fills them and helps them to sing through its mighty ocean-tone.
