One year I invited the pastor of a great church in Cincinnati,
and he came, and he spoke on Sunday morning. He pulled out a
forty-page manuscript and stood there and read the gospel for
a whole hour, and those good country people never saw it done
before, and when they adjourned for dinner they got under the
trees and talked about the proceedings. They said, “What do you
think of that letter from Cincinnati?” And I never see a fellow
pull his manuscript now that I don’t wonder where that letter is
from.--“Popular Lectures of Sam P. Jones.”
