They were warm friends and inter- changed visits, although those of Tilton were dis- couraged by Mrs. Beecher, who never fancied him. THE LIFE OF HENRY WARD BEECHER. 51 As time wore on Tilton, encouraged and aided by the countenance of his pastor, essayed public speaking, and having adopted his anti-slavery ideas was soon a favorite with the extreme abolitionists. He suc- ceeded Mr. Beecher when the latter left the Iiidepm- dent, and was persuaded by his friends that his pas- tor was the one ma...n who stood between him and the chief place among the orators of the nation.
