He was rather a solemn preacher, but I was told that in social intercourse he displayed a great deal of quiet humor. I remember quite an exciting incident that occurred when I was quite young. Dr. Emerson exchanged with an out of town minister, whose name I have forgotten. During the sermon a lady who sat in the pew, with us, became very restless, and finally caught up her parasol and pounded it down on the cushion, exclaming ''I can't stand that" and rushed out of the church. I was told afterw...ard that the preacher was asserting the lost condition of children who died uncon- verted. The lady had buried two little children. I suppose that strict doctrinal sermons were more common then, and so less noticeable than they would be now. There was one of our ministers whose preaching was considered entertaining as well as instructive. It was Dr. Braman of Danvers. One morning he came to the South Church, Salem, without his sermon, and after fumbling some time in his pockets in search of it, said that he would "read a chapter in Job worth ten of it, " which he did, with a running commentary that was very interesting to his hearers.
