The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1895-02-07

Rollins says, "These early Purtans
were prosecuted by the Episcopalian
church."
Bristol says, 1.-THE established Church
of England would not tolerate the adj
vanced ideas OF religious feeling and in
dependence held by the Puritans."
Rollins says, They were turning the
preachers out of their pulpits and they
conf1scated their property and they turned
them out of the country and they had to
flee to Holland for refuge. And these
refugees were the men who came to our
country-and they wanted to burn the
dissenters over in this country"
Bristol says, "They were prosecuted,
and their ministers driven from their pull
pits and they found safety only in exile
The Puritans. after having fed from the
persecution of Episcopalian bigotry, be-
came the religious dctators of this new
world, and were as intolerant of more adj
vanced ideas as the Church of England
had been of theirs"
Rollins says, "In the corncr stone of
10000 churches is a copy of the scrip
lures"
Bristol says, I'm the corner stone of
100000 churches that jewel this land from
sea to sea, lies a copy of the Word of
God.n
Rollins says. "Our country was not set
tied by scoffing atheists, by Sabbath
breakers
Bristo. says, "They are not sprung
from the degenerate loins of atheism;
they do not belong to a race of Bible
haters and Sabbath breakers"
Rev. MIR. Rollins closes his lecture with
the following eloquent lines from Long
fellows:
Thou, too, sail on, o ship of State
all on, q Union strong and great;
Humanity with all its fears.
With all the hopes OF future years
Is hanging GREATNESS on thy fate;
We know what master laid thy keel,
ri hC of cfa
VINO made each mast, and sail and rope,
What anvils rang. what hammers beat,
In what forge and what heat
Were shaped the anchors OF thy hope;
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
lis OF the wave and not the rock;
lis but the Mapping of the sail
And not "a rent made by the gale;
In spite OF rock and tempest roar,
In spite OF false lights on the shore,
sail on, nor fear 20 breast the sea;
Our hearts, our hopes. are all wi h thee,
Our hearts. our hopes. our prayers our tears
Our faith triumphant DER our fears
Are all with tuee-are all with thee,
DR.. Bristol uses the same quotation from
Longfellow, but uses II in the midst of mis-
lecture instead of at the close. Mr.. Roll
Inns also uses quotations from Buckle
twice, while DR.. Bristol uses no quota
tions from Buckle.
TESTIMONY OF EMINENT MEN.
Prof. William {. Wilkinson, now pro-
fessor OF poetry and criticism in Chicago
of the Baptist church, expressed his views
not long ago on the subject of Pulpit
Plagiarism" lie defines plagiarism as
follows:
Plagiarism is the name given TO the act of the
man who consciously appropriates and uses a.
his own the product Of another mans literary
labor. Pulpit plagiarism Is prdcticed when the
act above described = done by the preacher
Wherein lies he wrong OF plagiarism In the
first place IL involves deceit Nav let Us 20
farther, and say il Involves lying
Professor Wilkinson discusses the Doint
often raised that the congregation i not
the loser because a sermon by Mr.. Spur
geon read by Rev. John Smith would be
more edifyIng than a sermon originally
written by Rev. John Smith. Mr.. VIII
klnson insists, however. that the hearers
are the losers. and says:
In the first place it is a loss-a loss which yor
cannot calculate. ind Fed. but q real los> and d.
