Preaching, Bad: Worth saying?

A preacher in India began his sermon on 1 Corinthians 13 as follows: "The beatific familiarity of this chapter traditionally appointed for Quinquagesima must never cause us to neglect its profundity."

His interpreter translated this for the benefit of the Indian congregation as follows: "The speaker has not said anything worth remembering so far. When he does I will let you know."
