The following is an excerpt from the book, Sketches of Our Mountain Pioneers, edited by J. W. West. It contains a quote from Preston Gray describing the preaching of A. I. Myhr (1855-1933).

Myhr’s visits to all our churches were great occasions. The people soon learned to expect something. He was a thinker, and positively despised sluggish thinking. Of a certain minister, he said to me, one day, “He is a capital fellow, but when he preaches, all the points are filed off.” He told me that he liked sermons and thoughts that had “stickers” in them.
