TWELVE [cont.]

Pudding Sermons

	There was a visiting brother from Tennessee, whose name I have forgot. 
His sermons consisted chiefly of sonorous periods, rhetorical figures
and imagery.  Am elderly minister was asked how he liked his sermons. 
He simply said, "Well, I don't like all pudding."

	After a week spent in religious services an despatching the usual
business of such occasions, the preachers received their appointments,
and the Conference adjourned.  Above I have spoken of the character of
the ministers that composed the Alabama Conference of 1834; I have
spoken in their praise; but hope this praise of them may not be
construed into a reflection on those of the present.

[To be continued tomorrow.]
