        <![CDATA[Incredibly-well timed. This last chapter of volume 1 tells of the cholera outbreak in London, 1854, during Spurgeon's first year in that city. See him going door to door visiting the sick and dying, urging them to follow Christ. A short chapter, to which I have added a later sermon of Spurgeon entitled "The Time is Short." Indeed it is, for many. From cholera to corona, nothing robs the true follower of Jesus of his joy and purpose.]]>

        <![CDATA[Spurgeon continues to be in the middle of controversies, though not alone. In this episode we see Spurgeon uniting with seven other ministers in response to men who are beginning to eat away at the fundamentals of the faith. Later this will blossom into the "Down Grade" controversy, as false teachers "give up the atoning sacrifice, deny the inspiration of Holy Scripture, and cast slurs upon justification by faith." Here are only the first shots fired.]]>
