From the Savannah (Ga.) News.
To achieve best results, about how long
should the preachers sermon be? There can
be no set rule of course, since the man and
the subject must necessarily play important
parts in determining the length OF the dis
course. A learned and eloquent man with
good subject may talk entertainingly for an
hour or more, but on an average which is
the more effective. the short sermon or the
long one7 Mr.. Gladstone used to counsel
young ourates to limit their discourses to
twenty minutes. Bishop Potter repeats the
advice. Coming from two such authorities,
1t must be good. A great deal can be said
in that space of time, provided one has
really something to say.
