Damian's in Italy is the very counterpart of that later conversion in the little chapel at Artillery Street, Colchester. 'Look! cried the preacher at Colchester, 'look to Jesus! Look to Jesus! 'I looked, says Mr. Spurgeon; 'I looked and was saved! 'Francis looked to the Crucified, says his biographer.
"I found six or seven sermons of Spurgeon in the hotel, and read them. I like him; he is very earnest; he says: 'I believe that not a worm is picked up by a bird without direct intervention of God, yet I believe entirely in man's free will; but I cannot and do not pretend to reconcile the two. He says he reads the paper to see what God is doing and what are His designs.
So far from his trust in 'the Finished Work of Christ' inclining him to indolence, he felt that he must toil most terribly to make so perfect a Saviour known to the whole wide world. It was given me at the docks by Mr. Thomas Spurgeon as I was leaving England. If you open it at the twenty-first of May you will find these words: "Simply to Thy Cross I cling" is but half of the Gospel.
Moody Spurgeon had never been so carried away by his feelings before, and he blushed uncomfortably every time he thought about it for a week. "Oh, I'm so glad," said Anne, with shining eyes. "Dear Stacy, it would be perfectly dreadful if you didn't come back. I don't believe I could have the heart to go on with my studies at all if another teacher came here."
Now if I have a longing heart's desire for anything at all in this world, it is to be able to get up into a pulpit, and preach a sermon." "You can't conceive how soon that appetite would pall upon you, after its first indulgence." "That would depend upon whether I could get people to listen to me. It does not pall upon Mr. Spurgeon, I suppose."
"'Yes, he said, 'but it is the worst kind of weather for corn and grass; they want heat to bring them forward." There are a vast number of fidgety, nervous, and eccentric people who live only to expect new disappointments or to recount their old ones. "Impatient people," said Spurgeon, "water their miseries, and hoe up their comforts."
Spurgeon in his present frame of mind were to sit at a table for manifestations, he would obtain the clearest assurance that it was "all the devil," just as it is well known Roman Catholic sitters get communications from Roman Catholic spirits, theists from theistic, and Mormons from the denizens of some spiritualistic Utah. We had not, on this occasion, a moment to wait.
This is practically admitted by Christian scholars, and I am ready to maintain it in discussion with Mr. Blomfield. Mr. Blomfield talks very freely, in conclusion, about the "fruits" of Christianity and Secularism. He even condescends to personal comparisons, which I warn him are dangerous. He compares Spurgeon with Bradlaugh.
Spurgeon presented me with her husband's Treasury of David, and also "£5 from the Lord's cows" which I afterwards learned was part of the profits from certain cows kept by the good lady, and that everything produced thereby was dedicated to the work of the Lord.
Spurgeon reading out verse by verse, with occasional commentary, and not unfrequent directions to the congregation as to the manner of their singing. "Dear friends, the devil sometimes makes you lag half a note behind the leader. Just try if you can't prevail over him to-night, and keep up in proper time." There is no organ, nor even a tuning-fork, in use at the Tabernacle.
