ILLNESS or Ms. Srueozolf.—The Rev. C. IT.
Spurgeon, after having been home only one &Imlay from
his continental tour, was unable yesterday to perform his
customary duties at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, his place
being supplied by the Rev. Mr. Gange, of Portsmouth,
who was formerly a student in Mr. Spurgeon's college. In
the course of the morning's service Mr. Cook, one of the
deacons, came upon the platform and said that no doubt
very many present would feel greatly disappointed that
their pastor, Mr. Spurgeon, was not in his usual
place. It was due, therefore, to his people that
some explanation should be given, or else it
might be thcught that he was seriously ill ; such
was not the case, although it would be very unwise
of Mr. Spurgeon to attempt to preach that day. Mr. Cook
then read a letter which had that morning been addressed
by Mr. Spurgeon to his church and congregation, in which
he expressed his regret that he was unable to be with
them ; at the same time ho desired most sincerely to thank
all his friends who had so kindly assisted him in the
matter of the Stockwell Orphanage, and he trusted that
the Lord would return it a thousandfold into their
bosoms. He bad suffered much since Monday, but he had
called in the aid of a beloved phy■ican, who he trusted.
with God's aid and blessing, would be able to secure for
him an effectual and permanent cure. He hoped to meet
them again on Thursday evening to preach to them, but not
to perform the more laborious part of his duties.-4d-
