Great Difference in Preachers

A gentleman in Scotland, having been to hear the late Mr. Whitefield preach in the open air, was met on his way home by an eminent minister under whom he usually sat and who expressed great surprise that he should go to hear such a man. The gentleman gave him this answer, " Sir," said he, "when I hear you, I am planting trees all the time; but, during the whole of Mr. W's sermon, I never got time to plant one."
