TALKS TO FARMERS. 



BY CHARLES H. SPURGEON. 



800 pp., 12mo, Cloth, $1.00. 



This is the last, and one of the best, of the wonderful productions 

 of the fertile pen and pro line brain of Mr. Spurgeon. It consists of a 

 series of Talks to Farmers. Each Talk is a short sermon from a 

 text on some subject concerning agriculture. Mr. Spurgeon is as 

 much at home in, and as familiar with, the scenes of nature as he is 

 with the stores and business of mighty London. 



WHAT IS THOUGHT OF IT. 



Canadian Baptist says: "Our 



readers need no information about Mr. 

 Spurgeon. His name is a household 

 word. They read his sermons con- 

 stantly. They have only to be told that 

 something new of his has appeared, and 

 they are eager to procure and read. In 

 nothing, perbaps, does Mr. Spurgeon's 

 greatness manifest itself more con- 

 spicuously than in his wonderful 

 power of adapting his discourses to the 

 needs of those to wh'm he speaks. 

 'John Ploughman's Talks ' and John 

 Ploughman's Pictures ' are admirable 

 illustrations of this power. So is the 

 book before us. It will be especially 

 interesting to farmers, but all will en- 

 joy the practical common sense, the 

 abundance of illustrative anecdotp, the 

 depth of spiritual insight, the richness 

 of imagery, that prevail in the volume. 

 The subjects of the different chapters 

 are: 'The Sluggard's Farm,' -The 

 Broken Fence.' 'Frost and Thaw,' 



'The Corn of Wheat Dying to Bring 

 Forth Fruit,' 'The * Ploughman, 

 Ploughing the Rock,' 'The Parable 

 of the Sower,' The Principal Wh^at,' 

 ' Spring in the Heart,' Farm Labor- 

 er*,' 'What; the Farm Laborers Can 

 Do and What They Cannot Do,' ' The 

 Sheep before the Shearers/ ' In the 

 Hay Field,' ' Spiritual Gleaning ' 

 'Meal lime in the Cornfield,' 'The 

 leading Wagon,' 'Threshing,' 'The 

 Wheat in the Barn.' Every farmer 

 should read this book." 



The Christian Monitor. St. 

 Louis, Mo., eays : "Most interesting and 

 unique. The arguments in f^vor of 

 Chris'ianity are able and convincing, 

 and theue is not adry .uninteresting line 

 in the book; the distinguished author 

 presents the principles of relip inus Ufa 

 in a novel but instructive manner, and 

 the garniture of truth and earnestness 

 in his competent hands makes the book 

 eminently readable. '

Howard Crosby, D.D., says : 



" I consider Godet a man of soundest 

 learning and purest orthodoxy." 



Thomas Armitage, D.D., says: 

 "Especially must I commend the fair, 

 painstaking, thorough and devout work 

 of Dr. Godet. All his works are wel- 

 come to every true thinker." 



Arthur Brooks, D.D., says: 

 "Any one acquainted with Godet's 

 other works will congratulate himself 

 that the same author's clear logic and 

 deep learning, as brought to bear upon 

 the difficulties of the Epistle to the Ro- 

 mans, are to be made accessible through 

 this publication."
