SHORT SERMONS.—Dr. Emmonds' advice to young preachers was, not to preach over thirty minutes, saying, "There are no conversions after the first half hour." Wesley held the same opinion, and said, "If any, then, of the preachers exceed their time (about one hour in the whole service), I hope you will always put them in mind what is the Methodist rule. People imagine the longer a sermon is, the more good it will do. This is a great mistake."
