The controversy took its toll on the denomination (which censured Spurgeon) and upon Spurgeon, whose
            already delicate health deteriorated even more during the year-long affair (he suffered from, among other
            things, recurring depressions and gout).

            Spurgeon's contributions were larger than his pulpit, however.  He established alms houses and an orphanage,
            and his Pastor's College, opened in 1855, continues to this day.  He preached his last sermon in June 1891 and
            died six months later.

                  Spurgeon was a spokesman for God.  He stood up against those who criticized him; he stood on God’s
                  Word.  And people listened.  Will you be willing to stand up for the Bible and take the criticism you will
                  receive?  Be like Spurgeon and you will be a blessing to thousands!

                       I always tole God, 'I'm gwine [going] to hole stiddy on you, an' you've got

                       to see me through.'"

                       In 1831 a Kentucky slave named Tice Davids made a break for the free
                       state of Ohio by swimming across the Ohio River. His master trailed
            close behind and watched Davids wade ashore.  When he looked again, Davids was
            nowhere to be found.  Davids's master returned to Kentucky in a rage, exclaiming to
            his friends that Davids "must have gone off on an underground road."  The name
            stuck, and the legend of the Underground Railroad was born.
