yesterday afternoon the downpour
came. The moisture, however. did not
dampen the ardor Of the celebrated
preacher. The harder the rain fell the
louder and more foroeful he talked.
4 number Of trenchant things were
said by Dr. Mckinney. such as, I'D
rather be a Methodist preacher than an
angel IN Heaven" Some preachers are
invisible on six days and incomprehen-
sible on the seventh :" ~ never could
reconcile a clean heart and dirty
houth;' There Is not one standard OF
conduct for the pulpit and another for
the pew 'Father-if you give your
boy through ticket TO He'll don't q
blame him II he goes" There's many y
a dirty heart beneath a clean linen =
shirt: "Sin is committed against God. a,
crimes against, st,society," and MANY are u
long on sin, but short on repentance"
Dr. Mchinney's gestures were pic 6
turesque. but forceful. During the aft 4
