The Boy and the Books
“I would rather be descended
from one who suffered for the faith than bear the blood of all the emperors in
my veins.”
(Charles Spurgeon)
“The
precocity of young Charles drew the attention of all around. He would astonish
the grace deacons and matrons, who met at this grandfather’s house on Sunday
evenings, by proposing subjects for conversation and offering pertinent remarks
upon them. And there were at that early period of his life palpable indications
of that decision of character and boldness of address for which he came so
remarkable.”
Robert Shindler, From the Usher’s Desk to
The Tabernacle Pulpit, 1892
