The Forgotten Spurgeon. [On Charles Haddon Spurgeon.]

There is good reason to suppose that we have often remembered the wrong things about Spurgeon. We remember him as a personality; we have forgotten him as a reformer sent by God. Everyone knows how he laughed, but who remembers how he wept? We recall that he was a great Baptist; we are unaware of how he accused Baptists and other nonconformists alike of betraying Christ. His success as an evangelist is remembered; the theology that lay behind it is forgotten. We know anecdotes of his many abilities, but how little we know of the measure of the Holy Spirit with which he was endued! We remember Spurgeon as a man amongst men, but we have largely forgotten what he was in the hands of God. When we come near the real Spurgeon we forget our tributes and stand convicted. - p. 1.
