[1] A preacher who is not in some way a seer is not a preacher
at all. You can never make people see religious realities
by correct definitions. They will not believe in the
reality of God on the word of a man who merely demonstrates
it to them. You must see such things yourself if you are
going to help others to see them. This is the secret of all
the preaching that ever was good since preaching
began.--_Beecher._
