Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sermons
As Mr. Punshon advanced in his discourse on that pleas ant June morning, an occasional emphasis, applied with judgment, betokened the practical speaker; and the finish of his sentences betrayed thorough preparation. As he warmed to his work, quickening at the same time the gait of his articulation, you found him gaining a strong hold not only upon your attention, but upon your feelings and you discovered that underneath the ample and rather loose folds of adipose tissue with which his outer man is in vested, there are great stores of electrical power. He pos sesses that attribute indispensable to the orator, for which we have no better name than magnetic. You are rooted as by a spell, and surrender for a time the guidance of your own thoughts. You have dropped the helm of your mind, for a more skillful pilot has for the nonce taken your place at the tiller.
