Johnson's opinion that Whitefield's popularity was due to ' the peculiarity of his manner, ' it is impossible to accept his explanation of the secret of the preacher's success. in the Eighteenth Century 231 Tyerman, in his Life of Whitefidd, comes nearer the mark. He attributes his success to the facts that he was a natural orator of the highest order, and that the truths he preached were exactly adapted to the wants and yearnings of human nature. He points out that, speaking generally, these t...ruths had been forgotten, and were not preached in the churches and chapels of England. But there was another fact, which Tyerman mentions, and which we think is the right explanation of the wonderful scenes of the Evangelical Eevival. In answer to the prayers of the best men in the country, the Holy Spirit was moving the masses of the people, and making them intensely anxious for personal salva- tion. The preaching of Whitefield was accompanied by ' power from on high/ and the scenes witnessed in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost were reproduced in England.
