Clerical Anecdotes
Acts 10:44-48
While Peter yet spoke these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.…


"How comes it," demanded a bishop of Garrick, "that I, in expounding Divine doctrines, produced so little effect upon my congregation, while you can so easily rouse the passions of your auditors by the representation of fiction?" The answer was short and pithy — "Because I recite falsehoods as if they were true, while you deliver truths as if they were fiction."
