Preface

The Author to the Reader

Charles H. Spurgeon

Preface

Friends frequently write me, requesting information as to which of my sermons they could distribute with the greatest hope of doing good thereby. To answer that question I have made this selection of twelve from the sixteen hundred and sixty of my printed discourses; and they are bound together here just as they were issued in the first instance, without regard to consecutive paging. These discourses have been already sealed with the highest approval, for they have been used by the Holy Spirit to lead many to Jesus. The thought of making this selection came to me in my illness, and I have comforted myself with the idea that these soul-saving sermons may thus enter upon a new career of usefulness. I trust it may be so, and that they will go forth still further afield to gather home the lost sheep.
