DIR. Banh preached Tor the FIRST time in
his naive city OF Leipsic, he disdained
the usual precauiion OF having hls sermon
placed in The Bible before bim, to refer
TO in case Of need. A violent thunder
storm suddenly arising, Just as he was in
the middle of his discourse, a tremen-
dous peal Of thunder causing him to lose
tn. thread of his argument, with great
composure and dignity he shut the BIZ
blc. sa, ing, with great emphasis, "Wher
God SPEAKS, man must hoGa his PEACE"
He then descended from he pulpit, while
the wloie congregation looked On him
with admiration and wonder.
