The Preaching of Former Years

AN aged lady of Boston recently said to a sensational preacher, “I hear no preaching now that reminds me of that which I attended in my earlier years, when every sermon made me feel that I had a soul to be saved, and that my pastor had a yearning desire for the salvation of his hearers. I presume the literature of the modern pulpit is of a higher order, and the theology may be as sound, but I do not see that preaching is as impressive or as effective in conversions as it formerly was.”—Zion’s Herald.
