Excerpt from Cyclopedia of Moral and Religious Anecdotes: A Collection of Several Thousand Facts, Incidents, Narratives, Examples, and Testimonies, Embracing the Best of the Kind in Most Former Collections, and Some Hundreds in Addition, Original and Selected
The hearers of the gospel, are like poor men coming to be clothed from a public charity. If you give them cloth in the piece, they will dispose of it as they can, and keep their own rags. But if you have it made up, and give them plain, well-fittin garments, they will be likely to put them on and wear them.
