Readings from the works of great preachers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries
12--Charles Haddon Spurgeon 's sermon, ' Supposing Him to be the Gardener,' preached in the Metropolitan Tabernacle on December 31, 1882
Read by Hallam Fordham
(Continued in next column)
In July 1865. the Glasgow Examiner had the following note about Spurgeon: 'The appearance of this preacher may be said to be interesting rather than commanding. He is under, rather than over the middle size, and has few or none of the physical advantages of the orator in his appearance. But what he lacks in appearance he has in reality. Soon as he commences to speakj tones of richest melody are heard. That most excellent of voices is under perfect control, and can whisper or thunder at the wish of its possessor. And there is poetry in every feature and every movement, as well as music in the voice. The countenance speaks-the entire form sympathises. The action is in complete unison with the sentiments, and the eye listens scarcely less than the ear to the sweetly flowing oratory.'
