About the Author:
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) 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.
Hungarian Summary:
…Higgyétek el, hogy csak lépésenként juthatunk előre az életben. Ne higgyetek abban, hogy hirtelen gazdagok lehettek. A kapzsiság nem biztos, hogy gyarapítja a vagyont. Jobb haladni lassan de biztosan, mint gyorsan de bizonytalanul! A kitartó munka naponkénti eredménye gazdagabbá teszi az embert, mint a ritkán előforduló szerencsés üzlet. A kis halak legtöbbször jóízűek. Ha megelégszel naponta egy vékony fonállal, egy év alatt vastag köteled lesz. Ha egyik tégla a másikat követi, hamar felépül a házad. Aki járni tanul, előbb mászni szokott és fussunk előbb, mielőtt kocsiba ülünk. Az elhamarkodottság saját lábába botlik. Gyors hegymászók egy pillanat alatt a mélységbe zuhannak…
English Summary:
In John Ploughman's Talk, I have written for plowmen and common people. Hence refined taste and dainty words have been discarded for strong proverbial expressions and homely phrases. I have aimed my blows at the vices of the many, and tried to inculcate those moral virtues without which men are degraded. Much that needs to be said to the toiling masses would not well suit the pulpit and the Sabbath; these lowly pages may teach thrift and industry all the days of the week in the cottage and the workshop; and if some learn these lessons I shall not repent the adoption of a rustic style.
Ploughman is a name I may justly claim. Every minister has put his hand to the plow; and it is his business to break up the fallow ground. That I have written in a semi-humorous vein needs no apology, since thereby sound moral teaching has gained a hearing from at least 300,000 persons. There is no particular virtue in being seriously unreadable. - C. H. Spurgeon
