HoHum-ilies

There once was a homiletician

Who was bad about vain repetition

Though he chose a new text

His people were vexed

When the points were the same old edition

(Donald T. Williams)

It is true of many a preacher

afraid of surpassing their teacher

hemmed in by the RH of Ed

application is so rarely said—

and interest made a part of the feature.
