PREFACE

It has been felt that a short biography of Mrs. C. H. Spurgeon would be appreciated by the many thousands who have received help through her Book Fund, and its auxiliary branches, and by the still greater number of persons who have been incited to increased efforts in the service of Christ through her inspiring efforts in the service of Christ through her inspiring example. Mrs Spurgeon was indeed a wonderful woman, and if this little book arouses interest in the Book Fund where hitherto its unique work was unknown, and encourages invalid Christians and others to take up some work for their Master by showing them the power of the weakest, it will have achieved its purpose.
