See also: SPURGEON, See also:CHARLES HADDON (1834—1892) , See also:English See also:Nonconformist divine, was See also:born at Kelvedon, See also:Essex, on the 19th of See also:June 1834. He was the See also:grandson of an Essex pastor, and son of See also:John Spurgeon, See also:Independent See also:minister at Upper See also:Street, See also:Islington. He went to school at See also:Colchester and See also:Maidstone, and in 1849 he became See also:- USHER (O. Fr. ussier, uissier, mod. huissier, from Lat. ostiarius, a door-keeper, ostium, doorway, entrance, os, mouth)
- USHER (or USSHER), JAMES (1581-1656)
usher at a school in See also:Newmarket. He joined the Baptist communion in 1851, and his See also:work at once attested his " See also:conversion." He began distributing tracts and visiting the poor, joined the See also:lay preachers' association, and gave his first See also:sermon at Teversham, near See also:Cambridge. In 1852 he became pastor of Waterbeach. He was strongly urged to enter See also:Stepney (now See also:Regent's See also:Park) See also:College to prepare more fully for the See also:ministry, but an See also:appointment with Dr See also:Joseph See also:Angus, the See also:tutor, having accidently fallen through, Spurgeon interpreted the contretemps as a divine warning against a college career. The lack of See also:early systematic theological training certainly had a momentous effect upon his development. Broad in every other respect, he retained to the last the narrow Calvinism of the early 19th See also:century. His See also:powers as a boy preacher became widely known, and at the See also:close of 1853 he was " called " to New Park Street See also:Chapel, See also:Southwark. In a very few months' See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

Hall was used while a new chapel was being erected, but Exeter Hall could not contain Spurgeon's hearers. The enlarged chapel at once proved too small for the crowds, and a huge See also:tabernacle was projected in Newington See also:Causeway. The preacher had recourse to the See also: Surrey Gardens See also:music hall, where his See also:congregation numbered from seven to ten thousand. At twenty-two he was the most popular preacher of his See also:day. In 1857, on the day of See also:national humiliation for the See also:Indian See also:Mutiny, he preached at the Crystal See also:Palace to 24,000 See also:people. The See also:Metropolitan Tabernacle, with a See also:platform for the preacher and See also:accommodation for 6000 persons, was opened for service on the 25th of See also:March 1861. The cost was over £30,000, and the See also:debt was entirely paid off at the close of the opening services, which lasted over a See also:month. Spurgeon preached habitually at the Tabernacle on Sundays and Thursdays. He frequently spoke for nearly an , See also:hour, and invariably from heads and subheads jotted down upon See also:half a See also:sheet of See also:letter See also:paper. His See also:Sunday sermons were taken down in shorthand, corrected by him on See also:Monday, and sold by his publishers, Messrs Passmore & See also:Alabaster, literally by tons. They have been extensively translated. Clear and forcible in See also:style and arrangement, they are See also:models of Puritan exposition and of See also:appeal through the emotions to the individual See also:conscience, illuminated by frequent flashes of spontaneous and often highly unconventional See also:humour. In his method of employing See also:illustration he is suggestive of See also:- THOMAS

Spurgeon's lectures, aphorisms, talks, and " Saplings for Sermons " were similarly stenographed, corrected and circulated. He also edited a monthly See also:magazine, The See also:Sword and See also:- TROWEL (Med. Eng. truel, O. Fr. truelle, Low Lat. truella, a variant of trulla, diminutive of trua, stirring spoon, ladle, Gr. ropbvrt, from the root tar, to turn round and round; cf. ropebs, borer)
Trowel; an elaborate exposition of the See also:Psalms, in seven volumes, called The See also:Treasury of See also:David (187o—1885) ; and a See also:book of sayings called John Ploughman's Talks; or; See also:Plain See also:Advice for Plain People (1869), a See also:kind of religious Poor Richard. In the summer of 1864 a sermon which he preached and printed on Baptismal Regeneration (a See also:doctrine which he strenuously repudiated, maintaining that See also:immersion was only an outward and visible sign of the inward conversion) led to a difference with the bulk of the Evangelical party, both Nonconformist and See also:Anglican. Spurgeon maintained his ground, but in 1865 he withdrew from the Evangelical See also:Alliance. Subsequently in 1887 his distrust of See also:modern biblical See also:criticism led to his withdrawing from the Baptist See also:Union. His powers of organization were strongly exhibited in the Pastors' College, the Orphanage (at Stockwell), the Tabernacle Almshouses, the Colportage Association for selling religious books, and the gratuitous book fund which See also:grew up under his care. He received large See also:money testimonials
(I6000 on his See also:silver-See also:wedding day and 5000 on his fiftieth birthday), which he handed over to these institutions. He died at See also:Mentone on the 31st of See also:January 1892, leaving a widow with twin sons (b. 1856). One of them, Rev. Thomas Spurgeon, after some years of pastorate in New See also: Zealand, succeeded his See also:father as minister of the Tabernacle, but resigned in 1908 and became See also:president of the Pastors' College.
An Autobiography was compiled by his widow and his private secretary from his See also:diary, sermons, records and letters (1897-1900).
