An obscure man rose up to address the French Convention. At close of his oration Mirabeau, the giant genius of the Revolution, turned round to his neighbor, and eagerly asked, “Who is that”? The other, who had been in no way interested by the address, wondered at Mirabeau’s curiosity.
Whereupon the latter said, “That man will yet ask a great part,” and, being asked to explain himself, added, “He speaks as one who believes every word he says.” Much of pulpit power under God depends oh that —admits of that explanation, or one allied to it. They make others feel, who feel themselves.—GUTHRIE.
