The teacher may well take a lesson from that great preacher, Bishop Phillips Brooks. Rev. W. C. Bitting once asked I him how he made his sermons, and his reply was: "I cannot make a sermon. receive messages from God through the Bible, nature, history, current events, human beings, and my own soul. When I receive one of these messages, I turn my heart into a garden of the Lord, and plant the message in it. I brood over it with my mind, pray about it, and most of all try to live it. By and by it grows, and blooms, and when the time comes for me to preach, I simply walk into that garden of the Lord and pluck one of the blooming plants and take it with me into the pulpit and ask the people to enjoy its beauty and fragrance with me."
