An English preacher in India preaching though an interpreter once began his sermon on ‘faith’ with the sentence: "Now faith is both abstract and concrete," and he paused for the interpreter. The interpreter translating what had been said replied, "So far the preacher hasn’t said anything, but when he has I will let you know."

NO MINISTER CAN GIVE AT THE SAME INSTANT THE IMPRESSION THAT HE HIMSELF IS CLEVER AND THAT CHRIST IS MIGHTY TO SAVE!
