Anecdotes of Spurgeon.

--When Mr. Spurgeon ascended the pulpit, the first sentence he uttered was:

‘ "I hear that some one here has lost a watch and another a pocket-book. All I can say in the matter is, I think it serves them right — why did they not leave them at home? But I have a word or two more to say on the subject, which is this — that if my friends, the pickpockets, are still in the chapel, I have to request that they will not attempt to pick any more pockets till I have made my collection, as I want all the money I can get."
