Perhaps the greatest benefit the preacher gains is that he must make T detailed preparation of his message so he will know just what he is going to say, and how he will say it in the length of time which he has to speak. One cannot trust to the inspiration of the moment when talking into that microphone, for there is little or no inspiration gathered from the unseen audience. This leads us to wonder if we preachers could not do better work and preach better sermons if we would be as conscientious in our preparation for our pulpit messages as we are for radio sermons.
