The Central Presbyterian

IN AN ADMIRABLE discourse on "Preaching," delivered before the Drew Theological Seminary by Dr. John Hall occurs the following: "I had one person in my congregation, a Sabbath School teacher, a few years back—she is in heaven now. She was comparatively young; personally very lovely; but her main charm was that she loved Christ. He filled her heart. I tell you it was as easy and as natural to that young girl to speak of Jesus Christ, and the things of eternal life, as it is to most of us to speak about the weather. That is what I mean by being at heart-thoroughly, through and through—not so much possessing the truth as possessed by the truth; and then there will be freedom, there will be spontaneity to our efforts; we shall be able by the manifestation of the truth, to commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God."
