One of Whitefield's hearers wrote, under date of "Sunday, August 9, 1741," as follows: "Numbers of all ranks, all denominations, and all characters, come to hear him, though his sermons abound with those truths which would be unwelcome from the mouths of others. Three hours before noon he appoints for people under distress to converse with him." (Gillies' "Memoirs of Whitefield.")
