and without a name, he e aters the greatest
city in the world, and almost simultaneously

might be expacted, many who have lis
tened to him have gone away to speak; evil of
hts name; while others, and bv far the greaU
er number, he ben instructed by his argu
ments, melted by hie appeals, and stimulated
by his earneitness. There have been seen
among his hearers ministers of mark; of near
ly every section of the Christian church; lay
men well known iu all eirclesas the support
ers ot the benerolent and evangelical institu
tions of the dy, citizen of renown, frem the
o.liiKf iugitvi jvwn to the parish1 beadle;
and JJolyoake, the editor of the infidel serial
7
Tfa Rea&ontr, hut by his own confession,
been among his hearers. That the man who
causes such a furor must possess some paw
er not commonly found in men of his profes
sion, will onlv be doubted by his prejudiced
detractors. Whether that power be physic
al, intellectual or moral, ot a happy blending
of them all, ii, perhaps, a question not
yet ripe for decision.
It cannot be disputed that Mr. Spurgeon
is in various respects an extraordinary man.i
Never, sincd the days of George Whitfield
aud Edward Irving, has any minister of reli
gion acquired so great a reputation as this
BaptUt preacher in so short a time, j Here
i a mere youth a perfect stripl'ng, only
twenty one years of age incomparably the
most popular preacher of the day. There is
uo man in t7reat Britain who coiild draw
such immense audiences: and none who, in
his happiest efforts, can so romplettl) enthral
the attention and delight the minds of his
hearers. JFljile the enlargement j of biV
chapel in New Park street was taking place.
Mr. Spurgeon preached in Exeter 11 all, but
this spacious building soon proved far too
small to hold the crowds who thronged to
hear ttie youthful Boanerges. It was no un
usual sight on a Sunday evening to see pla
cards put up outside the buildiner, announcing
that the Hull was full, and that no more
could be admitted. Since the enlargement
of his chapel, whieh is now capable of ! hold
ing 1800 people, it has been tound necessary
for the police to be preient at every service,
arid the pew-holders are admitted by a ticket
through a side door. This accomplished, at
ten minutes prior to the commencement of
the service the front doors art opened, iand a
ruh commences, but it is speedily over, for
1x8 chapel ia full, not only the seats but eve
ry inch of standing room being occupied, and
the gates have to be closed; with an immense
i -
crowd of disappointed and expectant heareit
outside. !
Although some of Mr. SpurgeonV.vilifiers
speak of irreverence and wnicisms your cor
respondent, when he listened to the youthful
erangelist, was especially impressed with the
stillness and solemnity porvading the entire
srvice. Some of his appeals to the Icon'
science, some of his remonstrances with the
careless, constituted specimen of a jvery
high order of oratorical power. When po
nouncmg the doom of those who live and die
in a state of impenitence, he makes hundreds
of his congregation quail and quake in their
seats. lie places their awful destiny in such
vivid colors before their eyes, that they; al
most imagine they are already in llie regions
o! darkness and despair, tn his preface to a
volume of sermons jut published, be tells us
that such has ben the impression produced
by 8-me of his sermons that he has ascertain,
ed upwards of twenty cases of conversion as
the result of one discourse, to say nothing of
those instances of a saving change wrought
on his hearers, which will be unknown, unti
tbe woild to come has made ita important
and unexpected revelation.
When this able and eloquent preacher first
made his appearance in the hormon of the
religious world, an of dazzled the roafses in
London by his'briJJiancy, many feared , that
he either might get intoxicated by the large
draughts of popularity which be bad daily
to drink, -or that he would -not ho - able.

' :' - ' 4 ' r I'"''
VipoUtW lie h EQ suddenly acquiredi
Neither result has happened. Whatever
as a
preacher of tue Gospel, itn due to h
im to
stat that he has not been! spoiled by popular
applause. Constitutionally he has no small
amount of self-esteem; buCso tar. from its
growing with his daily extending fame, he
aPPfarf to more humble and more sub
iuu wuen ue nrsi ourst oa our aston
ishe aze. And with regard, to he fear
thatiihj excellence as a preacher wouU not be
sustaitiea, me event has pruved the ground
lessriess; ef such an apprehensien. There
is n, falling off whatever. On the contrary,
he if -uat not a few respects improviog with
the fapse of time. His striking originality
can eeen to a greater syivantage than at
first.! There is no sameness in his sermons.
Theranety of his matter, not of course a
regad$!his doctrines, but as relates to his ex-
postfous, illustrarions, and applications of
dmn truth, is as great as ever. ;
Ml. Spurgepa has ben thought by many
toenjerjtain and advance the crude yiews of
the 4-Calviajsts. He may, at tiries. lay
himsfelfbpen to such a charge; but, we verily
beli'ete, he has in truth little sympathy with
thosejofj (he class referred to: his ofier of a
free gospel and appeals to the sinner being

But tf ereis a Courageous
and transparent
coniseny characterizing the man and his
mission, (hat ought most assuredly to neutral
ize alluUfair and bitter criticism.
I ft i I
1 It rdust be evident to all who have read Mr
Spurgeon' sermons that he 'ia no superficial
thinkef, j He has long been a diligent and
earnest seeker after truth, and is theoretically
and experimentally acquainted with much
of the tleejp spirituality of Divine truth. He
must pi aye studied profoqudlj Leighton's
writi8 ano Wesley's hytons for he has
much f tke experiwnee of Hfieslev. and a
..Si- J
high dgrjee of the spirituality of Leighton.
Some ave "aid that William Jay, of Bath,
and Bobert IJnll, of Bristol, are jthe models
qn wh;hhe has sought to riiould his style
of address but he needs the J logical acumen 4
of the on aud the polished elegance of dic-
' a 1 1

lUjvt "fcl cliaracteiized thejother. He has,
. .5, 1 . '
1
;.o.ev(r, their better qualities of thorough
devotiop to the service of the Gospel, and a
power luc pathos far transcending theirs.
But hefis too 'originally constitu'ed to be an,
iiuitHto,' ahd is more likely t icund; a stylw
of his own', than to imitate that of another.
True, h la much of Rowland Hill's qua nt
ness qfiuJtration, and tot unfreequently
provokEs al BiL.it -v tome startling expres
sion, orlfigitre his toLr and J manner forbid
auy feeling of levity: and if occasionally his
humor Ixcjtes a passing Smile, the depth of
his patloa paore frequently draws tears from
the greJteij part of his congregation.
; During he year 1855, Mr. Spureon's
Sunday ndroing sermon has been regu'arly
published in the course of the succeeding
f i i
week for? oiie penny, or two cents, and some
them baVeJreached as high a sale as 60,000
cojpiea. The'SQ fifty three sermons are now
republished in a neat volume,
by Mr. Spurgeon, in which he
with a preface
states that be
has documentary evidecce that evurv aer-
J t - "
mon hasfrebeived the seal of God's blessing,
i j
in having been employed as arj iastruraent in
the conversion of sinners to Christ. The vol-
ume is clrtain to have an itnaaettse sale; and
frem ita lirculat&n in every corner of the
t i 1
world whre the English langtjage is read,
there is every reason to hope aud believe
that it wH be productive of great good.
