So the plagiarist is so vile a cheat that there is not much chance for him, living or dead.

A minister who hopes to do good with each burglary will no more be a successful ambassador to men than a foreign minister despatched by our government to-day would succeed if he presented himself at the court of St.James with the credentials that he stole from the archives of those illustrious ex-ministers, James Buchanan or Benjamin Franklin.
What every minister needs is a fresh message that day from the Lord.

We would sell cheap all our parchments of licensure to preach.

God gives his ministers a license every Sabbath and a new message.

He sends none of us out so mentally poor that we have nothing to furnish but a cold hash of other people's sermons.
