Chapter 73 use a humorous ending

George Cohan once said, "When you finish your show, you should exit with the audience laughing." If, as he says, you have the ability and the material for humor, then you're all set prepare.But how?As Hamlet said, this is a question worth pondering, and every speaker should have his own way of dealing with it. When Lauder George delivered a speech on the undeniably solemn subject of John Wesley's tombstone, no one expected him to keep his audience, a bunch of Methodists, enthralled, but he did so with unrivaled intellect. , and at the same time, supplemented by beautiful and fluent language, an incomparably perfect speech was achieved:

It was a joy to see all of you reaching out to restore Mr. Wesley's grave.Your acts of righteousness should be recorded in the annals of honor.Everyone knows that Mr. Wesley is a man who likes to be neat. I clearly remember a sentence he said: "As a Methodist, you should never show yourself in rags." For this reason, we have never seen a single Methodist in indecent attire. (Laughter) So, we repaired the tomb today in return for his kindness.Do you remember: Once, Mr. Wesley passed by a girl's house in Derbyshire. The girl ran to the door and shouted to him: "Sir, God bless you!" Wesley replied to her: "Young Girl, if you could wash your face and apron a little bit better, your blessing would be more precious." (Laughter)
