My grand point in preaching is to break the hard heart, and to heal the broken one.
As to myself, if I were not a Calvinist, I think I should have no more hope of success in preaching to men, than to horses or cows.
I look upon prayer-meetings as the most profitable exercises (excepting the public preaching) in which Christians can engage. They have a direct tendency to kill a worldly, trifling spirit, and to draw down a Divine blessing upon all our concerns, compose differences, and enkindle (at least maintain) the flames of Divine love amongst brethren.
