Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1905-11-11

Crerating through DR.. Reed, preSl- n
dent of Dickinson college and state
librarian under the corrupt Stone ad- Is
n II istration, as reward for cam
paign services rendered the state
thieves. fN'aI ..
Hill stole from DIR. Thomas M. Ed
dy md appropriated bodily the sermon
he preached at Los Angeles during the
ger eral conference in May, 1904.
HE has created great sensation |
in Brooklyn where he is now preach |
ing. by his eloquence; most of his SER |
M rs being a patchwork, without a
wocd of credit, taken from the best
PREACHERS in the world, dead or alive.
Hill breaches the best sermons in the
world. They are reproduced on Mon
day morning in the Brooklyn Eagle as
original. We have room for only a
. sm I'll sample of his stealings. The
sermon containing this one is made
up of verbatim extracts from at least
two other great preachers, without a
word of credit Here is the sample,
tie punctuation being the same,
shows that he copied it from the book,
with change of but three or four
words:
Sermon by Bishop Mathew Simp-
son, page 37S. Published by Harper
Bros, 1883. Waited until men had
exhausted their plans; waited until
the world was weary with attempting
to conquer human errors; waited I'M
til the wisest philosophers had taught
until the most eloquent orators had
spoken, until the strongest govern
ments had tried their schmes; waited
until Egypt had risen in learning and
then sunk to ruin waited until Baby
len and all her glory had persisted, I'M
til Greece with all her philosophy and
art was a failure; waited until Rome,
serted on her seven hills, and grasp
ing the known world, had gathered
her poets and painters, and philoso-
piers, and yet in the midst of her
glory was rushing headlong to ruin,
and poor humanity was crying, What
must we do to be saved?'
Sermon by Rev. DR.. Wesley Hill,
published in the Brooklyn Eagle, page
H. last half of fourth column, Mon
day, September 25-He waited until
men had exhausted their plans; wait
ed until the world was weary with at
tempting to conquer human error and
evil; waited until the wisest philoso-
Thers had taught, until the most elo-
quent orators had spoken, until the
strongest governments had tried their
schemes; waited until Egypt had ris-
en- in learning and sunk to ruin; until
Babylon with all her glory had per
ished; until Greece with, all her phil
oscphy and art was a failure; until
Rome, seated upon her seven hills
stated with luxury and power had
gathered her poets, painters and phil
hsophers, and yet in the midst of her
glory, was rushing headlong to de
struction, and humanity was utterine
the piercing cry: What must l do to
be saved?'."
The Rev. DR.. Buckley, editor of the
Christian Advocate, not long since ex
posed and hunted to obscurity q
young preacher of another -denomina
ton on the charge of plagiarism, YET
is silent as the grave regarding the
most criminal plagiarist of modern
times. viii he continue silent? VIII
the Brooklyn Eagle continue to pub
lish as original these literary pilfer
ings? Will the officiary of Jayne's
church continue to applaud sermon
thief? II so, let 1t be remembered
that "the receivers of stolen goods are
as guilty as the thief"
DIR. Hill, by long practice, can com
nit another's sermon at one reading
and then deliver it as his own with ar
al .l~..F Ask -.
