From here:
When I saw Mr. Whitefield come upon the Scaffold he lookt almost angelical; a young, Slim, slender, youth before some thousands of people with a bold undaunted Countenance, and my hearing how God was with him every where he came along it Solemnized my mind; and put me into a trembling fear before he began to preach; for he looked as if he was Cloathed with authority from the Great God; and a sweet sollume solemnity sat upon his brow And my hearing him preach, gave me a heart wound; By Gods blessings: my old Foundation was broken up, and I saw that my righteousness would not save me….
–quoted by yours truly in the morning sermon
“Lord, if I can but be made instrumental to save one soul, I care not if I am tossed on the ocean through my whole life.” – George Whitefield pic.twitter.com/gp08wMnBow
