A. S. (Amos Stevens) Billingsley.

The life of the great preacher, Reverend George Whitefield, Prince of pulpit orators : with the secret of his success and specimens of his sermons,

glory ! All our own glory fades away, and there is nothing
will be valuable at the great day, but this, Thou art my God,
and Thou art my glory. It was a glorious turri that good Mr.
Shepherd, of Bradford, mentions in one of his sermons, where
he represents Jesus Christ as coming to judgment, seated upon
His throne, in a sermon preached before some ministers.
Christ calls one minister to Him, Pray what brought you into
the church ? O, says he, Lord, there was a living in the family,
and I was presented to it because it was a family living : Stand
thou by, says Christ. A second comes : What didst thou
enter the church for ? O Lord, says he, I had a fine elocu-
tion, I had good parts, and I went into the church to show
my oratory and my parts : Stand thou by, thou hast thy re-

ward. A third was called : And what brought you into the
church ? Lord, says he, Thou knowest all things, Thou know-
est that I am a poor creature, vile and miserable, and un-
worthy, and helpless, but I appeal to Thee my glory, Thou
sittest upon the throne, that Thy glory and the good of souls
brought me there. Christ immediately says, Make room, men;
make room, angels, and bring up that soul to sit near Me on
My throne. Thus shall it be done to all that make God theii
glory here below. Glorify God on earth, and He will glorify
you in heaven. " Come, ye blessed of My Father, receive the
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world,"
shall be your portion: and if so, Lord God Almighty make us
content to be vilified whilst here, make us content to be de-
spised while below, make us content to have evil things
spoken of us all for Christ's sake, yet a little while ; and
Christ will roll away the stone : and the more we are honored
by His grace to suffer, the more we shall be honored in the
kingdom of heaven. O that thought! O that blessed thought!
O that soul-transporting thought ! it is enough to make us
leap into a fiery furnace ; in this spirit, in this temper, may
God put every one of us.

If there be any of you that have not yet called God your
God, may God help you to do so to-night. When I was rea-
soning within myself, whether I should come up, or whether
it was my duty or not, I could not help thinking, who knows
but God will bless a poor feeble worm to-night. I remember,
a dear friend sent me word after I was gone to Georgia, " Your
last sermon at the Tabernacle was blessed to a particular per-
son ;" I heard from that person to-day, and who knows but
some may come to-night, and say, I will go and hear what the
babbler has to say; who knows but curiosity may be overruled
for good ? Who knows but those that have served the lust

of the flesh and the pride of life, for their god, may now take
the Lord to be their God ? O ! if I could but see this, I think
I could drop down dead for. you.

My dear Christians, will you not help me to-night, you
that go and call God your God ? Go and beg of God for
me, pray to heaven for me, do pray for those that are in the
gall of bitterness, that have no God, no Christ to go to, and
if they were to die to-night, would be damned forever. O
poor sinner, where is your glory then ? where is your purple
and fine linen then ? your purple robes will be turned into
purple fire, and instead of calling God your God, will be
damned with the devil. O think of your danger ! earth,
earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord ! If you never have
been awakened before, may the arrows of God, steeped in the
blood of Jesus Christ, reach your hearts now ! Think how
you live at enmity with God ; think of your danger every day
and every hour, your danger of dropping into hell ; think how
your friends in glory will leave you ; and may this considera-
tion, under the influence of the Holy Ghost, excite you to
choose God for your God ! Though the sun is going down,
though the shadow of the evening is coming on, God is will-
ing, O man, God is willing, O woman, to be a sinner's God.
He has found out a way whereby He can be reconciled to you.
I remember when I saw a nobleman condemned to be hanged,
the Lord High Steward told him, that however he was obliged
to pass sentence on him, and did not know that justice would
be satisfied but by the execution of the law in this world, yet
there might be a way whereby justice might be satisfied and
mercy take place in another: when I heard his lordship
speak, I wished that he had not only said, there might be
a way, but that he had found out the way wherein God could



423 APPENDIX.

be just, and yet a poor murderer coming to Jesus Christ should
be pardoned.

You that can call God yours, God help you from this
moment to glorify Him more and more : and if God be your
God and your glory, I am persuaded, if the love of God
abounds in your hearts, you will be willing on every occasion
to do everything to promote His honor and glory, and there-
fore you will be willing at all times to assist and help as far
as lies in your power to keep up places of worship, to promote
His glory in the salvation and conversion of sinners ; and I
mention this because there is to be a collection this night : I
would have chosen, if possible, to have evaded this point, but
as this Tabernacle has been repaired, and as the expense is
pretty large, and as I would choose to leave everything unin-
cumbered, I told my friends I would undertake to make a col-
lection, that everything might be left quite clear : remember, it
it is not for me, but for yourselves. I told you on Wednesday
how matters were; I am now going a thirteenth time over the
water, on my own expense, and you shall know at the great
day, what little, veiy little assistance I have had from those
who owed, under God, their souls to my being here : but this
is for the place where you are to meet, and where I hope God
will meet you, when I am tossing on the water, when I am in
a foreign clime. I think I can say, Thy glory, O God, calls
me away, and as I am going towards sixty years of age, I shall
make what dispatch I can, and I hope, if I am spared to come
back, that I shall hear that some of you are gone to heaven,
or are nearer heaven than you were. I find there is £70
arrears ; I hope you will not run away ; if you can say God is
my glory, you will not push one upon another, as though
you would lose yourselves in the crowd, and say nobody



APPENDIX. 429

sees me ; but does not God Almighty see you ? I hope you
will be ready to communicate, and when I am gone, that God
will be with you : as many of you will not hear me on Wed-
nesday morning. O may this be your prayer, O for Jesus
Christ's sake, in whose name I preach, in whose strength I
desire to come up, and for whose honor I desire to be spent,
O do put up a word for me; it will not cost you much time, it
will not keep you a moment from your business ; O Lord
Jesus Christ, Thou art his God! and, Lord Jesus Christ, let
him be Thy glory ! If I die in the waters, I shall go by water
to heaven ; if I land at the Orphan-house, I hope it will be a
means to settle a foundation for ten thousand persons to be
instructed ; and if I go by the continent, as I intend to do, I
hope God will enable me to preach Christ; and if I return
again, my life will be devoted to your service. You will ex-
cuse me, I cannot say much more ; affection works, and I could
heartily wish, and I beg it as a favor, when I come to leave
you, that you will excuse me from a particular parting
with you. Take my public farewell; I will pray for you
when in a cabin; I will pray for you when storms and tem-
pests are about me ; and this shall be my prayer for the
dear people of the Tabernacle, for the dear people of the
Chapel, for the dear people of London : O God, be Thou
their God ! and grant, that their God may be their glory.
Even so, Lord Jesus ! Amen.
