Silence

[Editor’s note:  Ordinarily, I do not publish sermons, but in this case, a request prompted it to be done.  What follows is not a transcript, nor is it just the outline; it is an effort to put the message into essay form; some differences will likely exist.  The original idea for this particular sermon was suggested by an outline that appeared in The Preacher’s Periodical about 25 years ago.  The content and organization are far different from the original.]
