Description:Excerpt from The American Board and American Slavery: Speech of Theodore Tilton, in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, January 28, 1860 At the late annual meeting of the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn. held at the beginning of the present year, a discussion arose, which was protracted to five evenings, respecting the use to be made of funds collected for Foreign Missions. The main question at issue was involved in the following resolution: "Resolved, That this Church contribute no more money to the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions." The ground of this proposed di continuance of contributions to the American Board was the alleged complicity of that corporation with the system of American Slavery, by sustaining slaveholding Mission Churches among the North American Indians. On the fourth night of the debate, the pastor of the Church, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, made an address, two hours in length, maintaining - "That the American Board was the proper depository of the contributions of Plymouth Church for Foreign Missions; that the Board had to an unparalleled degree, kept pace with public sentiment on the subject of slavery; that it now held anti-slavery doctrines, and had faithfully and consistently applied these doctrines to missionary work; and that its record, on this whole subject, was clean, clear and pure." At the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Tilton obtained the floor for an immediate reply, but gave way, owing to the lateness of the hour, to a motion for adjournment; with the understanding that he should open the debate on the following evening. The general interest excited by the discussion drew together, on the closing night, an audience that crowded the large edifice in every part. Mr. Tilton's argument, in reply, is given in full in the following pages. At the close of its delivery, Mr. Beecher added a rejoinder, after which, the "previous question" was called, and the vote taken. The result was (for various reasons, not unexpectedly) a majority in favor of the American Board. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
