Section 37
Whitefield's only calculation in the construction of a building was, how many immortal souls could be crowded within four square walls and under a roof to hear 'the joyful sound.'
Ah, but when / consider that every stone in the Tottenham Court Road Chapel has echoed to the sound of salvation and the hymns of redeemed spirits, and that almost every spot on the floor has been moistened by tears of repentance... there comes over me an awe and solemnity which no modern gothic structure with its lofty arches and painted windows can inspire.
