斯波俊

Spurgeon

More funny stories are told of Spurgeon than perhaps anygreat preacher．Here is a good one． He was called to the telephone by a friend who said：

"Have you read this morning's paper?"

"Yes"

"Did you see in it a notice that I was dead?"

"Yes．"

"What do you think of it?"

"Don't know," replied Spurgeon．"What I want to know is where are you speaking from?"

We do not vouch for the truth of the following, but it is, nevertheless， worth mentioning．
When Spurgeon died, a notice was posted on his Tabernacle to this effect：

"Spurgeon set out for Heaven at 7.15．"

A wag added the following：

"Not yet arrived,12 p．m., anxious．Peter．"


斯波俊

关于斯波俊的趣事也许比其他任何一位大传教士的都要多。这里讲的是其中一个逗人的故事。有一个朋友给他打电话，说：

“你读了今天早晨的报纸了吗？”

“读了。”

“你是不是在布告栏里看到我死亡的消息了？”

“是的。”

“你有何感想？”

“不知道，”斯波俊回答说。“我想知道的是你现在从什么地方给我打电话？”

我们不能确定下面这件事的真实性，但是无论如何，它还是值得一提的。当斯波俊去世的时候，他的教堂贴出了一则告示，内容是：

“斯波俊于7点15分动身去天堂。”

一个好开玩笑的人加上了一句：

“尚未到达，午夜12点，甚感焦虑。 —— 彼得”
