“I will read the first two verses of ``Sermons We See'' by Edgar Guest. I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way. The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear.

Thank you, Johnny. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Crapo).…”
