In 1878, Charles Spurgeon preached to his college students. This sermon is more like a long exhortation to examine themselves about every contemporary problem with the ministry.

There is a vital Christianity in Spurgeon's faith. His high and holy vision of God controls him. He speaks like a man who has been to Heaven and seen into the terror of Hell.

While reading this sermon, "Taking Stock" I wished every pastor and even every Christian could have been there. In this brief review, I tried to read and speak briefly about some of the most striking, insightful parts of Spurgeon's sermon.
