The author notes that crowds willingly sat for hours in all sorts of weather—rain, wind, cold, or heat, listening to the Prophet discourse on the things of heaven. His metaphors were not poetic, but picturesque and plain, relating easily to his hearers. His voice was powerful and carried a conviction of his purpose that held his listeners engrossed.
