Needs reviewMost quotes start here until readers rate them or add a source — you can help.

Preach the doctrines of the gospel, not in a dry, speculative manner, but preach them practically. Apply the truth closely to the hearts and consciences of your hearers, and show them the bearing which it has upon their immortal interests. In your preaching, as far as possible, imitate Him who spake as never man spake. Then your discourses will be impressive and powerful, and those to whom you preach will feel that they can neither hear and love, nor hear and hate, the messages you bring them from the Lord, without ripening fast for endless joys or endless sorrows.
