The Preacher’s Source of Power

By Lyman Abbott

THAT preacher is always original and always powerful who gets his material directly from his own personal and devout study of the word of God; and just in the measure in which he departs therefrom and depends on commentaries, homilies, sermons, or systems of theology, for his inspiration and his life, he ceases to be, spiritually vital.—Lyman Abbott.
