“Henry Ward Beecher, so the story goes, was once asked by a young preacher how he could keep his congregation wide awake and attentive during his sermons. Beecher replied that he always had a man watch for sleepers, with instructions, as soon as he saw anyone start nodding or dozing, to hasten to the pulpit and wake up the preacher. Aren't you and I usually less sensible? Would we not be inclined to have the watcher wake up not ourselves but the fellows caught sleeping? In other words, aren't we disposed always to blame others?” MenStoriesYoungSleepWatchesSawsWake UpFellowsBlameCaughtWideAwakeSensibleInstructionPreacherSermonsCongregationPulpitWatchersSleeping InNoddingSleepersWide AwakeDozing Author:B.
