Developing Preachers For Today's People
 
Legend has it that Demosthenes filled his mouth with stones when he was practicing his speeches. A seminary preaching professor did this with his students. At the beginning of the course, they practiced their preaching with a mouth full of marbles. As the course progressed, the number of marbles was reduced, one at a time. Finally, the students were pronounced ready to preach after they had lost all their marbles!

And there you have it. :grampa

The moral of the story is never open your mouth wider than the diameter of the smallest marble in your head...
