When a man has broken his arm, the surgeon must find out the exact
spot where the fracture is. He feels along and presses gently with his
fingers.
"Is it there?"
"No,"
"Is it there?"
"No."
Presently, when the surgeon touches another spot, "Ouch!" says the
man.
He has found the broken part, and it hurts.
It is one thing to hear a man preach down other people's sins. Men
will say, "That is splendid," and will want all their friends to go
and hear the preacher. But let him touch on their individual sin, and
declare, as Nathan did to David, "Thou art the man," and they say, "I
do not like that." The preacher has touched a sore place.
