SALMON AND SERMON

Those who have inadequate views of their responsibility in preparing to preach the gospel, ought to be impressively reminded of their failure in this respect, as was a moderate minister, who was a keen fisher, when he said to Dr. Andrew Thompson: "I wonder you spend so much time on your sermons with your ability and ready speech. Many's the time I've written a sermon and killed a salmon before breakfast," to which saying Dr. Thompson replied, "Well, sir, I'd rather have eaten your salmon than listened to your sermon."
