The British passenger paddle steamer SS Princess Alice sank on 3 September 1878 when it collided with the collier SS Bywell Castle in the River Thames. It killed 600-700 people, making it Britain’s deadliest inland waterway accident. The collision happened on Tuesday and Charles Spurgeon stepped into his pulpit on Sunday, as he did every Sunday in that time, to deliver his sermon. This is the sermon that he preached using God’s Word and the Holy Spirit as his guide.

I would like to thank Sherry of the He Hath Said blog who has been faithfully sharing the works of Charles H. Spurgeon for years. I have probably learned more from Mr. Spurgeon (not counting Jesus) than from any other man through the works he has left us. I hope you are blessed, as I was, following along with this sermon. Sherry has provided a link to the sermon text so that you can follow along with the video.
