Need of Plain Preaching
1 Corinthians 14:8-9
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?…


A lady went one day to hear Dr. — preach, and, as usual, carried a pocket Bible with her that she might turn to any of the passages the preacher might happen to refer to. But she found that she had no use for the Bible then, and on coming away said to a friend, "I should have left my Bible at home to-day, and have brought my dictionary; the doctor does not deal in Scripture, but in such learned words and phrases as require the help of an interpreter to render them intelligible."

(J. C. Gray.)
