Mr.. Spurgeon stands head and shoulders
above all the NonconformIst preachers.
Somebody once expressed regret that the
great Baptist minister was not member
OF the Establishment, 10 which the lale
Bishop OF Winchester answered by quoting
portion OF the tenth commandment. But
Mr.. Spurgeon was much more aggressive in
those days than he Is now he has soitened
much Of late years, and churchmen can go
to hear him without fear OF being offended.
On the days when he breaches his taber-
nacle holds multitude. 1t is a huge hall.
and TO see gallery upon gallery crowded
with eager faces-some G,000-all turned
toward the pastor, whose voice has the
power Of troubling men TO the depths OF
their hearts-is stirring sight. Mr..
Surgeons Is not a high-class congrega-
ton, and the preacher knows that its
understanding can best be opened by
metaphors and parallels borrowed from
the customs OF the retail trade. and with
Smiles taken from the colloquialisms Of the
streets. Laughter Is not forbidden at the
Tabernacle, and the congregation often
break into filters, but the merrment is
always directed against some piece Of
hypocrisy which the preacher has exposed
and il does one good to hear. He says:
"You are always for giving God short
measure, Just as il He had not made the
pint pot" "You don't expect the Queen
10 carry your letters for nothing, hut when
you are posting letter heavenward
YOU won't trouble to stick little bit
OF Christian faith onto the right-hand cor
ner Of the envelope, and YOU won't put a
correct address on. either, and then you
wonder the letter isn't delivered, so that
you don't get your remittance by next
post" You trust Mr.. Jones to pay you
your wages regularly. and you say he Is a
good master, but you don't think God
can be trusted like Mr.. Jones; you
won't serve Him because you don't be-
lieve IN the pay" "You have heard Of
the man who diminished his dose Of food
every day to see on how little he could
live, I'LL he came TO half biscuit, and then
died; but / tell you, most OF you have
tried on how little religion you could live,
and many OF you have got to the half-bis-
cult dose" These whlmsicalities, always
effective, constitute but the foam OF
Mr.. Surgeons oratory; the torrent which
casts them up is broad, deep, and OF over
whelming power. Mr.. Sturgeon is among
preachers as Mr.. Bright among Parliamen-
tary orators. All desire 10 crliicise van
ishes, every faculty is subdued into admira-
ton, when he has concluded sermon with
a burst OF his trllly-inspired eloquence,
leaving the whole OF his congregation
amazed and the vast majority OF its men,
bers anxious or hopeful, but in any case
reused as IL they had seen the heavens open.
