Volume XIII of Charles Haddon Spurgeon's (1834-1892) published sermons, containing numbers 728 through 787. Known as “The Prince of Preachers,” Spurgeon was the pastor of the New Park Street Chapel in London (later known as the Metropolitan Tabernacle) for 38 years. He was enormously popular as a preacher, and frequently drew more than 10,000 hearers on Sunday Mornings. His sermons were published weekly, and were so popular, that they continued to be published weekly for 25 years after his death.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian, John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues, Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861, the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.
