PERSPIRATION AND INSPIRATION.
■ "Bishop Potter was a wonderfully effective preacher," said a Brooklyn clergyman. "I once delivered a sermon before him. I was young and enthusiastic at the time. I let myself go in that sermon. My voice and my gestures shook the pulpit. At luncheon, afterwards,. l was ashamed to say I fished for compliments. I leaned over to the Bishop and asked him in a low voice to give me some advice in preachiug. Dear knows what I expected him to reply, probably .that I was beyond any advice from him .■ At any rate ".w.liat he did reply was this : "My dear young" friend, never mis-' take in the pulpit perspiration for-in-spiration.
