Note 92 — A YEAR OF PREACHING.

Whitefield's farewell sermon at Stonehouse, preached on Ascension-day, May 10, 1737, was accidentally discovered, in manuscript, more than seventy years after his decease, and was first published, with a preface, in 1842. The text was, "Whom He justified, them He also glorified" (Romans viii. 30). It is one of his best sermons. The only copy I have ever seen was kindly lent to me by Mrs. A. J. Parker, of Camberwell, daughter of the devout clergyman by whom it was revised and committed to the press.
