foreign journal o report of one of
George Whitefeld's sermons--a sermon
preached hundred and twenty or
thirty years ago. 1t seemed that the
reporter stood to take the sermon, and
his chief idea was to caricature it; and
these are some of the reportorial in
terlinings of the sermon of George
Whitefeld. After calling him by
nickname indicative of physical de-
feet in the eye, it goes on to say:
'Here the preacher clasps his chin on

hard 1t was to get rid of him! Before

Then, after you had paid him down a
