L.M. Montgomery Quote
Dearly beloved, said Peter, my sermon is about the bad place—in short, about hell. An electric shock seemed to run through the audience. Everybody looked suddenly alert. Peter had, in one sentence, done what my whole sermon had failed to do. He had made an impression. I shall divide my sermon into three heads, pursued Peter. The first head is, what you must not do if you don't want to go to the bad place. The second head is, what the bad place is like—sensation in the audience—and the third head is, how to escape going there.
