Money or the Gospel

1767 Saturday Aug 8, At the request of Mr. Whitaker of New England, I preached and afterwards made a collection for the Indian schools in America. A large sum of money is now collected, but will money convert heathens? Find preachers of David Brainerd’s spirit, and nothing can stand before them. But without this, what will gold or silver do? No more than lead or iron. They have indeed sent thousands to hell but never yet brought a soul to heaven.
