The Wiser Christian

A person meets another returning, after having heard a popular preacher, and says to him, "Well, I hope you have been highly gratified."

"Indeed I have," replied the other."I wish I could have prevailed on you to hear him; I am sure you would never have relished any other preacher afterwards."

"Then," returned the wiser Christian, "I am determined I never will hear him; for I wish to hear such a preacher as will give me so high a relish and esteem for the word of God that I shall receive it with greater eagerness and delight whenever it is delivered."
