Even when you can hear my voice on the Sabbath and are wide awake, you have a way of putting your head down or shutting your eyes, and looking as if your soul had vacated the premises for six weeks.

You are one of those hearers who think it is pious to look dull; and you think that the Pew on the other side the aisle is an old sinner because he hunches the Pew behind him, and smiles when the truth hits the mark.

If you want me to speak out, it is your duty not only to be wide awake, but to look so.

Give us the benefit of your two eyes.

There is one of the elders whose eyes I have never caught while speaking, save once, and that was when I was preaching from Psalm cxiii.
