     The young preacher had just finished the morning sermon in the little country church.  He thought he had done quite well as he stood at the door greeting the people as they left the church.  The remarks about his preaching were complimentary.  That is, until a little old man commented, “You preached too long.”
     The old man passed through again and said, “You didn’t preach loud enough.”  The preacher thought it a little strange that the man had come through the line twice.  That is, until the same man came through a third time and said, “You used too many big words.”
     One of the deacons whispered in the young preacher’s ear, “Don’t pay any attention to that guy.  He just repeats what he hears.”
