Mr.Beecher is generally regarded as an extemporaneous preacher.

This is a mistake.

He prepared most of his discourses carefully, and full one-half of many of them were written out.

While he repeated himself often--especially on his favorite topic of God's love--yet it was always in fresh language and with new illustrations.
