The United States in Prophecy.
By Editor
From the Clinton, Mass., Weekly Record, of Nov. 30, 1878, we learn that Dr. Fulton, of Brooklyn, N. Y., spoke on a recent Sunday at the Harvard street Baptist church on “The United States in Prophecy.” The Record declares that he took the sermon bodily from the work published at this Office, called “The United States in Prophecy.” It says: “We have the book in our hand and a report of the sermon in a Boston paper, on the desk before us. . . . Sentence after sentence are almost word for word, and there is not a variation of thought from the book in the whole discourse, except where Fulton twists in the irrepressible ‘nigger’ vote as a necessary factor in the consummation of God’s plans.” We care nothing for the plagiarism. Would be glad to have ministers everywhere present the views set forth in that book, if they will not distort or misrepresent them. But we imagine that Brooklyn congregation was treated to ideas somewhat out of their usual line of thought; and we trust it will result in awakening some minds to further inquiry. We are not particular how it is done, only so that the truth is preached.
