This subject has been opened to me again and again that our ministers were making mistakes in talking so long as to wear away the first forcible impression made upon the hearers. So large a mass of matter is presented, which they cannot possibly retain and digest, that all seems confused. {TM 256.2}

Dette problem har været rejst for mig igen og igen, at vore prædikanter begår fejl i at tale så lang tid at de fører det første virkningsfulde indtryk der var givet tilhørerne, væk. En så stor stofmængde er blevet givet, hvor det umuligt for dem at beholde det og tilegne sig det, så alt synes at være forvirrende.
