The Doctrines of Grace in St. Charles This Week

When preaching in the Tabernacle in 1884, Spurgeon reflected on facing opposition in ministry (Oakley tip to SDC): A company of mean-spirited, wicked men, who are no bigger than bees, mentally or spiritually, can get together, and sting a good man in a thousand places, till he is well-nigh maddened by their scorn, their ridicule, their slander, and their misrepresentation.
