The Preacher Must Hit

A LEADING German authority on the use of artillery in war lays down a maxim which may wisely be borne in mind by every preacher: The artillery must in the first place hit, in the second place hit, and in the third place hit. A sermon that hits nobody and fits nobody is mere wasted breath. The old militia command, abbreviated, is a good one for the preacher to have in thought: Load!—Aim!—Fire!—Central Christian Advocate.
