NATION'S CHURCHES TO OBSERVE GREAT EVANGELIST'S BICENTENNIAL Before Colonies Were a Nation George Whitefield Shook America and Britain; War Promotes Revivalism (By The Religious Rambler.) BECAUSE of, and at the same time aiding, the increasing: current of evangelistic spirit ot America, the Federal Council of Churches has sug gested December 13 as a day to be ob served by all Protestant churches In America in commemoration of tbe two hundredth anniversary of the birth of George Whitefield, who is counted the greatest evangelist since the days of the apostles. The as sumption is that sermons on the life of Whifcfleld will quicken the present interest in the whole subject of rc ! rivals tnroughout the country, i Spectacular to an extraordinary de | greo wns the career of this English- I man, who was born December 16, ! 1 714, nr.d who, in his youth, sold | liquor across the bar of his mother's |inn. He died September 29, 1770 at I New buryport, .Massachusetts, having i preached more than eighteen tlious -1 and sermons, which is an average of i about fifteen a week throughout his | ministerial life. He crossed the ' Atlantis Ocean thirteen times and preached from Georgia to Maine, his labors coinciding with the great awakening of the latter part of the ; eighteenth century. His personality lis one of the most potent in the ! early life ot the American people, i Whitefield was the more remark able because he seemed to lack most of the gifts of leadership. His in- ] tellsciual «• liber was not notable ,-nd his sermons—if we may judge from the samples that remain in print— were mediocre, or worse. He is re pcif'd to have had a marvelous voice, although long a sufferer from asthma. Day niter day he hold vast crowds spellbound in the open air—twenty thousand 1n Philadelphia. thirty thousand on Boston Common and sixty thousand on still another oc casion. Metbodisttc, Calvantstlc Anglican The modern note of church union was incorporated in the career of Whitefield. Coming up from the ranks of the plain people, he had a smattering of education at Oxford, and in his twenty-second year was given Deacons' orders in the Angli can Church. In 1739 on liis return from his first American visit he was ordained a priest in the Anglican Church, and remained in this com munion to the end of his life. Whitefield and Wesley were as sociates in the famous "Holy Club," and both were leaders in the Methodls tlcal Movement of their time. Wesley was the greater mind and the natural leader and organiaer. Whitefield was a fiery evangelist. The two men separated on doctrinal grounds, be cause Whitefield adhered to the Cal vanistic teaching concerning the de crees of God. They remained warm personal friends to the end. Criticising; the Evangelist. "The Flaming Seraph of the Eigh teenth Century" is a title that is ap plied to Whitefield, because as he went up and down among the Ameri can Colonies, he had the same effect upon the emotions and lives of men as the Fiery Cross had upon the High land clans. The times seemed ripe for a great spiritual movement such as developed in America coincidently with Whitefield's career. In this many persons see a striking analogy to our own day, >vherein the war has deeply stirred the spiritual interest of the people. Evangelists were never busier or more successful in America than now. Pennsylvania, for instance, has half a dozen re vivalists within her borders, all doing work that is stirring whole communi ties and even cities of good size. Whitefield, who had a cast in his eye and was unhappily married and by no means a "conventional" figure, was attacked by preachers and others as vulgar and sensational, and by his fellow churchmen as demeaning holy orders. Throughout his ministry Whitefield was assailed by a steady storm of criticism on account of his theology, his pulpit mannerisms and his sensationalism. Yet his passion ate preachments, which included the vivid presentation of hell , fire, did more to stem the wave of atheism that threatened America at the time than any philosophical arguments. Learning How Ho Did It. In hundreds of pulpits this Sunday tho work and character of Wliltefleld will be analyzed, and "the secret of his success" will be pointed out ac cording to the personal predilections of the preacher. For more than a century men have been dissecting Whitefleld's work and sermons, but with no good success. The sermons are a dreary, arid waste, which no modern preacher would think of re preaching. Even the skull of White field hss been examined, and on this evidence they declare he was a man of no superior Intellectual ability. Tho theologian, the Rev. Dr. Henry E. Dosker, of the Louisville Seminary, has summarized Whitefleld's charac teristics as follows: "When we search for the secret of his powers, which were inexpressi bly great, we find It not in his energy, nor in his eloquence, nor in his dra matic power, but In the truth he be lieved and which he preached. If we were to characterize his ministry in one word perhaps that word had best be 'Otherworldliness.' He preached as seeing Invisible things. Or, if we want a more explicit statement, we can safely say that Whitefleld's whole ministry was characterized by these things: (1) A rare and ever present devotional spirit; (2) a jubilant ex altation of Christ; (3) a tender re liance on tho co-operation of the Holy Spirit; (4) an unwavering fidelity to the feacKings of the Scriptures; (5) a tender compassion with the lost, so that he always felt himself 'to stand between the living and the dead'; and (6) a directness of address which feared no innn and favored none, and which caused the arrow of the Won to sink deeply in a wounded soul." Hilly Sunday and Whitellold Quite ns sensational as Whitefleld, nnd paralleling him in results, is a present-day unique figure on the re ligious horizon, Billv Sunday, the base ball evangelist. Like Whitefleld, he is a subject of common discussion among churchmen of all names. Also like Whitefleld, he is, according- to conventional canons, an utter impossi bility. When analyzed, no adequate reason can be found for his success In having led more than a quarter of a million persons to make a profes sional conversion to Christianity. Sunday's congregations are paral leled only by those of Whitefleld. Like tho earlier evangelist, Sunday is fierce ly assailed for his unconventional lan guage, for his acting upon the pulpit, and for his sensationalism in general. Both men had less than the average minister's training; both fearlessly preached literalism, with hell fire for the Impenitent. The work of both has been followed by ethical revivals. With the first of the year Billy Sun day will open a nine or ten-week cam paign in Philadelphia, which Is al ready attracting nation-wide attention. The local churches have made elabo rate preparations, ami upwards of 100,000 Christians are meeting twice n week throughout the city in special Billy Sunday prayer meetings. If Sun- day succeeds in doing for Philadel-! phla what he has done in similar ! communities, the results upon all the ' metropolitan centers of America will be immediate and momentous. At no time within the past 200 years has the Christian Church been readier to sit at the feet Of Whitefield than now. THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER.
