In 1917 he answered a call to St. Paul's Presbyterian Church in Simcoe, Ontario . The impact of a world war shocked and confused people of all ages, and in those days of trial they turned to the church for guidance and fellowship in faith. Dr. Fulton possessed a dynamic personality and was a fluent orator. The Sunday evening services in St. Paul's saw all available seats occupied with rows of chairs in the aisles. The midweek meetings for Bible study and prayer meetings filled the church schoolrooms, and a series of prayer meeting were held in elders districts. In 1919, Rev. Fulton , later Dr. Fulton , was called to Chambers' Presbyterian Church, Toronto . He was next called to First Presbyterian Church in Corapolis, Pennsylvania . In 1926 he was called to Zion Church, where he was inducted on Wednesday September 16, 1926. Rev. W. B. Muir , interim Moderator of Zion Session inducted the minister, Rev. R. Hemsley Stavert addressed the newly inducted pastor, Rev. George Mitchell addressed the congregation. Rev. F. G. Mcintosh assisted in the devotional service. Following the induction the congregation met in the Church Hall for a tea and an opportunity to meet their new pastor, Rev. M. Scott Fulton M.A. B.D. He came to Zion following the union of 1925, with so many members of the church having gone with the formation of the United Church. He was a gifted preacher and was credited with holding the church together in those trying times. Donald McKinnon spoke highly of Dr. Fulton to Presbytery stating that "after the disruption of 1925, the church was found to be badly broken up but in the face of strong opposition, Dr. Fulton worked away until today the membership is about double what it was four years ago." He received his Doctorate, while at Zion and met and married a member of the congregation, Ruby Jean Campbell . 105
