About this event
- 1 day 23 hours
"The true remedy, and the only remedy, against cold, formal, and uninteresting written sermons, and against unmeaning and unimpressive extempore harangues, is the possession of lively feelings of piety when the minister sits down to compose, or when he stands up to speak."
— Archibald Alexander
