1892 Congregation Fellow Haddon Immense Protestantism Sankey Sings Spurgeon Revivalist
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the poignant moment during the memorial service for Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the renowned English Baptist preacher, held in London's Exter Hall in 1892. The immense congregation, a testament to Spurgeon's influence on Protestant Christianity in both the United States and Europe, is rapt in attention as American revivalist Ira D. Sankey leads them in song. Sankey, a close friend and collaborator of Spurgeon, stands at the podium, his expressive face illuminated by the soft glow of the gaslights. His hands, raised in the air, guide the congregation through hymns that echoed with emotion and faith. The image captures a moment of unity and shared grief, as believers from different corners of the world came together to honor the life and legacy of their fallen leader. Charles Haddon Spurgeon, known as the "Prince of Preachers," had passed away on January 31, 1892, leaving behind a vast body of written works and a legacy that continues to inspire and influence Protestant Christianity today. His memorial service was a fitting tribute to a man who had dedicated his life to spreading the gospel and nurturing the faith of countless souls. Ira D. Sankey, a prominent figure in the American revivalist movement, had collaborated with Spurgeon on several musical projects, including the production of hymnals and songbooks. The bond between the two men was deep, and Sankey's presence at the memorial service underscored the transatlantic connections that bound the Protestant Christian community together in the late 19th century.
