Hal, if you trill permit me, I iroidd tike lit offer this criticism: I am a business man, at the he, id of u tuny concern. We send out many salesmen. If our of uuj sales men went into a prospective customer's place of business, lathed as conriiiciuyly for one hour as you did, last Sunlay about the fine tpmlilies of our (joods, and then walked out trilhoul Iryiuy to yet an order, ire would discharge him." And the minister, afterward relaliuy the incident, added: "7 was rebuked. The layman was riyhl. I was plead in (j for a verdict. I soityhl no announcement of it. I was sell in; imds. I did not try to yet nn order.'' The rebuke v:as, of course, due. The marked lark in most sermons is the absence of appeal for immediate results. The effort to jdease, to interest, to inform, is apparent ; hut to seek for and expect the sermon to come hack in renewed 'consecration is tpiile beyond the inlenl or hope of mauy nreaehers.
