A SERMON on STURGEON.
Rev. DIR. Hatchcr's Talks About the Great
Preacher.

Rev. DR.. Hatcher's Talks About the Great
Preacher.
There was large audience at the
First Baptist Church yesterday to hear
The address of Rev. DR.. Hatcher on
Spurgeon. He reviewed his early life
and related some interesting incidents
of the great preacher, referring to his
start in life as janitor of public school
building and conversion at the early
age of thirteen years.
Spurgeon began preaching when 16,
and never had the advantages of col
legiate education. But this was in no
way barrier to his usefulness, and as
literary man he was the equal of any,
and as preacher surpassed all men of
his age. Wealth, says DIR. Hatcher,
came to Mr.. Sturgeon unsought, the
yearly royalty on his books alone
amounting to small fortune.
DR.. Hatcher spoke of the many
charitable institutions founded and
largely kept up by his generosity,
among theological colleges, the Stock
we'll Orphanage and an old peoples
home where the aged and disabled of
his congregation were cared for, of
which institution he was president.
DR.. Hatcher when on visit to Eng
land somo years ago was very intimate
with Mr.. Spurgeon, and relates many
interesting traits of character pertain
ing to this great divine, several OF
which are humorous and eXemplify tho
great good nature that he possessed and
by which he won all coming under it's
sway.
