When I was in Washington this time, I directly heard a leader praising one lecturer. What is his name? [Reid Mountbatten] He is a young Englishman, and he is about twenty four. He has just recently joined the church. However, Ms. Young Oon Kim, the leader of the Washington church, said that although he is young, he is the best lecturer. So, I called the young man over and asked him, "You are young, but I hear that you are good at giving lectures. So, what are the strong points in your study techniques?" When I said that he replied that although he doesn't feel that he does a good job, as much as possible he tries to memorize the good words of the Principle. I am told that he practiced to the point that when he opens his mouth to talk about the Principle of Creation, for example, the content comes out automatically, from the Introduction through the following sections, just as if a tape were plugged into his head. I am told that when he thinks about the Principle of Creation, without much contemplation words come out as soon as he opens he mouth. So, rather than spending his mind on the content on which he is going to lecture, because all he has to do is open his mouth and the words will start to flow out, he can afford to add his emotions toward the audience or his own feelings to testify.
