I knew if I searched diligently through my pile of books I could find it; Here tis':

"We only use the term “Calvinism” for shortness. That doctrine which is called “Calvinism” did not spring from Calvin; we believe that it sprang from the great founder of all truth. Perhaps Calvin himself derived it mainly from the writings of Augustine. Augustine obtained his views, without doubt, through the Holy Spirit of God, from diligent study of the writings of Paul, and Paul received them from the Holy Ghost and from Jesus Christ, the great founder of the Christian Church. We use the term then, not because we impute an extraordinary importance to Calvin’s having taught these doctrines. We would be just as willing to call them by any other name, if we could find one which would be better understood, and which on the whole would be as consistent with the fact.

Charles Spurgeon

Earlier today the works of St Augustine were mentioned. For those who are interested in reading some of his works, I have two posted on my website formatted for easy reading.

1 DECEMBER (PREACHED 2 DECEMBER 1877)

The evidence of our Lord’s wounds

‘Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.’ John 20:27
SUGGESTED FURTHER READING: John 19:17–37

If you would have your faith made vivid and strong, study much the story of your Saviour’s death. ‘Take it: read it’, said the voice to Augustine. So say I. Take the four evangelists; take the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah; take the twenty-second psalm; take all other parts of Scripture that relate to our suffering Substitute, and read them by day and night, till you familiarize yourself with the whole story of his griefs and sin-bearing. Keep your mind intently fixed upon it, not sometimes but continually. The cross is light. You shall see it by its own light.

The study of the narrative, if you ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten you, will beget faith in you, and by its means you will be very greatly helped, till at last you will say, ‘I cannot doubt. The truth of the atonement is impressed upon my memory, heart and understanding. The record has convinced me.’ If this suffice not, frequently contemplate the sufferings of Jesus. When you have read the story, sit down and try to picture it. Let your mind conceive it as passing before you. Put yourself into the position of the apostles who saw him die. No employment will so greatly strengthen faith, and certainly none will be more enjoyable!

‘Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, which before the cross I spend,
Life and health and peace possessing from the sinner’s dying Friend.’

An hour would be grandly spent if occupied in turning over each little detail, item and incident in the marvellous death by which you are redeemed from death and hell. You will be surprised to find how this familiarizing of yourself with it, by the help of the Holy Spirit, will make it as vivid to you as if you saw it.

FOR MEDITATION: (Our Own Hymn Book no.282 v.1—Isaac Watts, 1709)
‘When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride.’


C. H. Spurgeon and Terence Peter Crosby, 365 Days with Spurgeon (Volume 4), (Leominster, UK: Day One Publications, 2007), 346.

Augustine has some thoughts on "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil." Eph 5:15–16

28 OCTOBER (1877)

A Sabbath-school sermon

‘He shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom.’ Isaiah 40:11
SUGGESTED FURTHER READING: Matthew 18:1–10

I read the other day a pleasing anecdote of what one lamb may come to. A ewe brought forth three lambs, and the brutal shepherd threw the third into the hedge that there might be the more milk for the other two. A poor woman passing by begged for the thrown away lamb, employed her utmost care in nursing it by means of a sucking bottle, and reared it till it could eat grass for itself. She turned it upon the common and in due course it produced twins: by care she at length raised a whole flock of sheep from the single ewe and in process of time she became a woman of considerable estate. See what one poor half-dead lamb may yet produce. Who knows what one poor trembling soul may yet bring forth?

Jesus knows that perhaps a boy may be here who will be the spiritual father of scores and hundreds of thousands before he dies. There may be in the congregation of today a Chrysostom or an Augustine. Right among us may sit a little Whitefield, a young Luther, or some other of honourable character who shall lead many to Christ.

There was a dreadful snow-storm one Sunday morning when Dr. Tyng of New York set out to preach; when he reached the church there was only one poor little girl there. Most preachers would have gone home when one child made up the whole of the congregation, but Dr. Tyng went through the service as earnestly as if the pews had been crowded. He preached to the little girl; God gave him that girl’s soul and never was he better repaid. To his knowledge she had been the means of bringing some twenty-five to the Lord Jesus, and among them was one of his own sons. The greatest orator, the most spiritual teacher, the most useful evangelist may not dare to despise one of Christ’s little ones.

FOR MEDITATION: Some of the godliest people in the Bible came to know the Lord as children (1 Samuel 3:1–10, 19–21; 2 Chronicles 34:1–3; Jeremiah 1:4–7; Luke 1:13–15, 80; 2 Timothy 1:5; 3:15). Early conversion is preferable (Ecclesiastes 12:1).


C. H. Spurgeon and Terence Peter Crosby, 365 Days with Spurgeon (Volume 4), (Leominster, UK: Day One Publications, 2007), 312.

But Thou, being the Good which needeth no good, art ever at rest, because Thy rest is Thou Thyself. And what man can teach man to understand this? or what Angel, an Angel? or what Angel, a man? Let it be asked of Thee, sought in Thee, knocked for at Thee; so, so shall it be received, so shall it be found, so shall it be opened. Amen. GRATIAS TIBI DOMINE
