Sermons In Stones

Sermons in Stones

There is a great deal of difficulty in treating a subject like this, and turning stones into "bread," for a lecture, on account of the vast number of stones there are. Everywhere we meet with stones: stones in the streets, which are paved with them; stones in the fields, which are strewn with them; stones on the seashore; stones deep down in the earth; everywhere stones, stones, stones. Sermons in stones? Why, there are volumes of sermons in stones. Nobody knows where to begin to quarry; and he who is dexterous may bring forth stones enough to build a temple as glorious as that of Solomon, and yet only use a very small portion of the available material.
