Preaching

"There are also fanatatical ministers who, in attempting to preach Christ, storm, halloo, jump up and down, and pound the desk before them,... Such antics lend NO force to the truths uttered, but, on the contrary, disgust men and women of calm judgment and elevated views." Review & Herald 8/8/1878 E.G.W.
"Flowery speeches, or inappropriate anecdotes do not convict the sinner. Men listen to such words as they would to a pleasant song. The message that the sinner should hear is For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Gospel Workers p.155 E.G.W. / John 3:16
