All relationships have ups and downs and this is certainly true for Abraham Lincoln and preachers. Lincoln enjoyed good sermons and had little patience for poor efforts. He looked to preachers for what they could offer and gladly accepted their help when it was truly help; however, he seemed to never expect much, in practice, from pulpiteers of his day.
