This volume is intended as a companion to âFeathers for Arrows,â and has been compiled from the Sermons of C. H. Spurgeon. During a season of sickness and convalescence Mr. Charles Spurgeon found a pleasing pastime in collating the illustrations, anecdotes, similes, etc., used by his beloved father in the Discourses published in the volumes of âThe Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit.â Knowing how the Lordâs archers desire that the arrows of truth may stick fast in the hearts of the Kingâs enemies, it was felt that such a sheaf of missiles, so well barbed, would prove useful to brother bowmen. The âartilleryâ here prepared has been proved by one of the most skilful of archers to be effective in piercing the armour-joints of many a sinnerâs harness, and the arrow of conviction has gone home to many a heart when shot from âa bow drawn at a venture.â It has been a profitable pleasure to tie up the arrows into bundles, and it is hoped that the war-worn soldiers may be relieved a little as we hand to them their ammunition in this form; for âWhen the Word of God becomes an arrow in a manâs heart, he writhes; and he would fain tear it out; but it is a barbed shaft.â
