Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Seventh Annual Dinner of the Lincoln Society, of Peekskill, N. Y: Eagle Hotel, Monday Evening, February 13, 1911
Rev. Mr. Bell's address, subject, A Time Exposure, follows: It was a great Scotch preacher, whose name is world-wide so far as Christen dom is concerned who was once asked the best possible way in which to pre pare and afterward to deliver a dis course, and he said to the young man who made the inquiry: The best way to do it is to fill yourself full with the subject during the week and then go into the pulpit on Sunday and let nature caper. (laughter.) Now I suppose that would be a first rate thing for the preacher or the speaker, whoever he might be, however difficult or hard it might be on the listener. I will not at tempt to do that, though I confess to you that for some days past I have been reading and re-reading the life of this great man to whom reference has been so fittingly and beautifully made al ready by the president of this organiza tion. I sympathize very deeply with the sentiment expressed at another gather ing of this character that I attended this afternoon in connection with one of the educational institutions of our village, that this is a religious day; for the man we recognize and honor in this gather ing to-night was not only a statesman.
