You know that small speck of dust (or ‘who knows what’) that gets in your eye…
Well…I’ve discovered that things can also get in between teeth and under my tender gums. I learned the hard way. While eating popcorn, a small piece of the corn’s paper thin hull became lodged there. I had no clue or discomfort for a few days. I began to suspect some food was stuck when soreness began.
My next problem was finding the culprit. Usually a routine brushing and rinse with water dislodges small bits of food; not this time. I tried floss but once more got nothing. The problem had worsened from soreness to pain and I feared I might need to see our family dentist. I prayed and tried floss again. That time I was successful.
What will it take to make me aware of the log hidden and lodged in my eye?
“Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye (Matthew 7:3-5 ESV).”
Ouch!
Correction is painful but confession brings relief.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 ESV).”

In publishing the life of the late CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON, the publishers feel a peculiar pleasure and believe themselves especially fortunate in having secured the Rev. Russell H. Conwell, D.D., LL.D., pastor at The Temple, of Philadelphia, to prepare the work. There are many reasons why the popular preacher, who might justly be called the Spurgeon of America, should in this way pay a loving tribute to the memory of his great English ecclesiastical brother, and why such a book must have an absorbing interest for all readers. Foremost among these might be considered his personal acquaintance with the great divine of gigantic efforts and wonderful achievements, and the deep study he has ever given to his popular brother preacher’s life and the measure of its successes.
