"I would rather wear out than rust out,” Whitefield proclaimed in 1770.
His last sermon took place in the fields, atop a large barrel.
In speaking of the inefficiency of works to merit salvation, He suddenly cried out in a tone of thunder,
'Works! Works! A man gets to heaven by works! I would as soon think of climbing to the moon on a
rope of sand.'"
The following morning he died.

Though I can scarcely see the paper before me, I must attempt to express my
thankfulness to the Lord and to offer my congratulations to you for the success
which he has so far been pleased to give to your unwearied endeavours for the
abolition of the slave trade, which I have considered such a millstone sufficient,
to itself sufficient, to sink such an enlightened and highly favour’d nation as ours
to the bottom of the sea. . . . Whether I who am within two months of entering my
eightieth year shall live to see the accomplishment of the work is known only to
Him in whose hands are all our times and ways, but the hopeful prospect of its
accomplishment will, I trust, give me daily satisfaction so long as my declining
faculties are preserved.
