The young preacher was 24 years old when he preached this sermon. It is well worth reading and thinking through. It contains one or two glimpses of Spurgeon's delightful wit"Well," says one, "we cannot believe it." Very likely you cannot, but some of us can, for we have heard it with our ears, and our fathers have told us the mighty works that God did in their days, and we are prepared to believe that God can do the like works now."Well," says one, "but I do not expect to see such great things." Then, my dear friend, you will not be disappointed, for you will not see them; but those that expect them shall see them. Men of great faith do great things.Read how he pleads with men and women to repent and to believe the gospel, and how he pleads with Christians to pray for the unconverted. This is my kind of Calvinist! :-D This sermon is 'Victorian' preaching and its style may seem a little odd to many, but this is as great a plea for revival prayer as any in the audio files here on SI.You will find it in The Spurgeon Archive.
