    About this ebook

    Charles Haddon Spurgeon was one of the outstanding personalities of the Victorian era. He was one of the few ministers who had a world-wide audience—a preacher who had only to whisper to be heard of all men. His life and work are one of the cherished possessions of the scattered English speaking peoples and is a living link which binds many of them together throughout the length and breadth of the earth. It is safe to say that when the history of the wonderful nineteenth century comes to be written, Spurgeon will stand out as one of the most forceful individuals that England has ever seen. Although he passed away as long ago as the year 1892, yet he still lives in the admiring remembrances of multitudes who heard him. Many of his contemporaries are dead, and although the number of those who came under his spell is daily diminishing, there is no need to fear that Spurgeon is becoming a back number or a fading memory. He will live as long as England lives, because he so laboured and wrought during his all too brief lifetime, as to keep the soul of England alive.

      alive.

      Birth And Childhood

      In the kind Providence of God, Spurgeon was born of wise and tender Christian parents. His birthplace was the ancient and obscure village of Kelvedon in Essex. His birthday was June 19, 1834. His parents, John and Eliza Spurgeon, brought up a large family in true Puritan fashion, and it is no wonder that their two sons, Charles and James, should have become distinguished ministers of the Gospel. C. H. Spurgeon (like R. L. Stevenson) as specially favoured in coming under the bracing influence of a venerable ministerial grandfather. At the old Stambourne manse there were many things to appeal to the impressionable mind of a growing child. Those who looked after him were persons of singular simplicity and lovers of innocent habits, and allowed him to have the run of the minister’s library and the privilege of meeting the pastor’s friends.

      One of the most notable visitors to the place was the Rev. Richard Knill, missionary at St. Petersburg. Being a soul-winner, he spied out the small boy and took the opportunity of speaking winsomely to him about the love of the Lord Jesus and the joy of loving the Saviour in the enchanted days of childhood. Then followed a most remarkable thing. Mr. Knill took the child on his knee in the presence of all the family and said, solemnly and prophetically, This child will one day preach the Gospel to great multitudes. He then extracted a promise from the boy (supported by the gift of a sixpence) that when, in years to come, he should preach in Rowland Hill’s Chapel, he would give out the
