POINTS ON PREACHING
Facts Which are Not Brought out
in the Average Sermon

A sermon that comes from the
heart Of the preacher will go to the
hearts Of his hearers.
IL Is better TO begin back OF the text
and work up to II, than to begin with
the text and work away from It.
The secret OF a successful sermon,
as OF Sam Weller's valentine, is In
making one wish there was more"
Sermons should never be measured,
they should be weighed. Not length
but strength is the true test of ser
mon
The business Of the preacher is not
10 preach TO men and women who are
not at church. but to preach to those
who are there.
The preacher of the old theology
preached as a dying man to dying
man" The preacher OF the new the
ology must preach as a living man to
living men.
Do not serve your sermons up a SEQ
ond time, cold and stale. Warm them
over In the growing fervor OF the imag.
ination and emotions in which they are
created.
Some preachers are like boys swim
ming under water. You see them
when they dive on the text, and you
see them again when they bob up at
the Amen" but all through the ser
mon you lose sight Of them because
they may have gone IN over their
heads
