"My rule, in regard to visiting, is to visit as much as time and health will permit. I make none but pastoral visits. I gave my people to understand, when I was settled (as their minister), that they must not invite me to dine or sup when they did not wish to have the conversation turn wholly on religious subjects. This has saved me much time and trouble."
- Edward Payson (1783-1827), Congregational minister from New Hampshire and leader during the Second Great Awakening.
