Charles detested slavery and would not fellowship with slave owners, and was despised for such. He wrote hymns and his worship song were only acappella like Church of Christ, he would also promote the Wordless Book. A book as the title does not mislead, has no words, just colored pages. It had only 3 leaves; 1st black, 2nd red, and 3rd pure white. The black leaf resembles the sinful state by nature, red to call to his remembrance the precious blood of Christ, and white to picture to him the perfect righteousness which God has given to believers through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ his Son. Spurgeon would always preach the way of Salvation in every sermon, making him notable among pastors. He wrote his sermons before hand and use a notecard outline, then people would write it down as he preached, then he would edit it later and publish them for a penny. His grandfather James Spurgeon, ministered to the church at Stambourne for 54 years. His wife Susannah reportedly took notes when he slept and when awoke he found a sermon. After his death, Mrs. Spurgeon kept the work alive, publishing Charles' sermons and distributing 1000's of books. He would preach to large crowds sometimes about 10,000. He would read Calvin, Baxter, Owens, Gill, Fuller and many others, and quoted Justin Martyr, Augustine, John Bunyan, George Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards, John Gill, Andrew Fuller, and John Newton. Also, his sermons were always Christ centered.
