Lorenzo Dow, an evangelist of the last century, was on a preaching tour when he came to a small town one cold winter´s night.
He entered the local general store to get some warmth, and saw the town´s lawyers gathered around the pot-bellied stove, discussing the town´s business. Not one offered to allow Dow into the circle.
Dow told the men who he was, and that he had recently had a vision where he had been given a tour of Hell, much like the traveler in Dante´s Inferno.
When one of the lawyers asked him what he had seen, he replied, "Very much what I see here: All of the lawyers, gathered in the hottest place."
