David Carnegie Andrew Agnew, Protestant Exiles from France… (1886)
“ Yes, this is the weapon for slaying Satan; this is the practical, efficient, influential truth for bringing souls to God, whilst your great orators are spending rheir breath in vain, and scattering their tropes and figures, sowing the wind, and consequently only reaping the whirlwind.” “I would give you one caution, that is, to avoid making up a sermon of a collection of observations, having no beginning, no middle, no end — no premises, no conclusion — which might stop anywhere, and might be shaken in a hat, and drawn out as good a sermon as in the order in which it was composed. ”
