Saved To Serve || Prophesy Again Pastor Andrew Henriques Actors vs Preachers. Testimonies of Martyrs. Sabbath Keepers Will Be Martyrs

1. On a certain occasion, when Betterton, the celebrated actor, was dining with Dr. Sheldon, Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop said to him, "Pray, Mr. Betterton, tell me why it is that you actors affect your audiences so powerfully by speaking of things imaginary." "My lord," replied Betterton, "with due submission to Your Grace, permit me to say that the reason is plain; it all lies in the power of enthusiasm. We on the stage speak of things imaginary as if they were real; and you in the pulpit speak of things real as if they were imaginary."--Counsels to Teachers, p. 255. (1913) {Ev 179.1}
