Show Mr. SPL-aoEON is of tho opinion that when people, particularly prcaeh-errs prcaeh-errs have nothing iiuportmt to say, they take a loDg time about it; but when they have something worth telling, tel-ling, they "out with it at once." It was Dr. Chalmers who, on being asked how long it took to make a sermon, replied, "'lhat depends on how long you want it. If your sermon is to be half an hour long, it will take you three days. If it is to be three quarters quar-ters of an hour, it may take you two days, or perhaps only one; but if you are going to preach for an hour, why there is not much occasion to think a great deal about it. It may be done in an hour." |
