George Whitefield Quote

In preparation for a historical tour of George Whitefield on July 22, I have of course been doing a lot of reading and research on Whitefield.

I came across this quote that I found somewhat humorous. Whitefield preached in all types of settings, particularly in the great outdoors. The quote is from Whitefield after preaching in one of his favorite spots, the Moorfields outside of London.

"I was honored with having stones, dirt, rotten eggs and pieces of dead cats thrown at me." - George Whitefield

Now that makes for a challenging preaching assignment! Can't say I have had any stones or dead cats thrown at me!
