'That is very true in reasoning, said he; 'but the sentiment is more prompt, and inspires me with fear before I have time to say to myself all that is calculated to allay it."
Eloquence is a divine gift, which to a certain point supersedes rules, and is to be used, like other gifts, to the glory of the Giver, and then only to be discountenanced when it forgets its place, when it throws into the shade and embarrasses the essential functions of the Christian preacher, and claims to be cultivated for its own sake instead of being made subordinate and subservient to a higher work and to sacred objects.
