Al nIshon ON sermon..

one does not look to preate for
frank fun. but the Bishop OF Wakefield.
nnaslsed. has vouchsafed some genuine
humor on the subject of preaching. He
has clearly made study OF the art, and
he divides the modern sermon into seven
species. Thus we have:
'The sesquIpcdallnn; big words hiding
little thoughts.
1.-THE Wishy- Washy; no explanation re-
quircd.
THE Pyrotechnic: blazing with bril-
liant metaphors and Illustrations and
finishing with faint odor OF gunpowder.
"The Anecdotic; teeming with stories
some Of them good enough once, but gone
bad by keeping.
,"rhe f'lowery: In which rhyme Is OF
more Importance than reason.
"The Mellifluougl with calm, unbroken
flow
'rEhe Paregoric against which the pow
cra Of walsefulness fail; like a roll OF
ribbon, 10 much alike Mt all points that
a yard cen be cut Off anywhere"
Who does not know each and all OF
these2
John Wesley Is authority for the truth
lii authority Is needed-that half hour
Is long enough for good sermon and too
long for a poor one.
