| Show silent as lightning A LAY preacher who had tor for amany I 1 arx many years preached in a somewhat boisterous manner emphasizing his points by excessively raising his voice suddenly changed his style in j the pulpit and thereafter spoke softly and very earnestly asked why he had adopted the i new way he replied when i I 1 was a little boy I 1 thought it was the thunder which was the i most impressive now I 1 know that it is the silent lightning it is true that a loud voice has its uses occasionally but the right word whispered Is frequently far more effective |
