[[Charles Haddon Spurgeon]] was an English Particular Baptist preacher in the Reformed Baptist tradition, who was nicknamed the "Prince of Preachers". He was pastor of the New York Street Chapel, later known as Metropolitan Tabernacle. He founded [[Spurgeon's College]] for pastors, which was named after him posthumously. Many books have been written by and about him, and perhaps no non-PB preacher is more proliferate in PB writings.
He was a strong critic of the Exclusive Brethren, and an equally passionate friend of the Open Brethren, although both include articles by him in their various publications.
Harry Allan Ironside notes, "Charles H. Spurgeon, pastor for many years of the great Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England, and one of the most outstanding Baptist preachers of his day, absolutely refused to be ordained by man. He utterly repudiated anything of the kind, saying the Lord Himself had ordained him and that was sufficient."<sup>1</sup>
==Spurgeon's College Brethren==
* Frank W. Boreham (1871-1959) is said to have been the last student personally interviewed and admitted by Spurgeon into the College.
==Spurgeon's Other PB acquaintances==
* William Kelly
** Spurgeon said Kelly was a man "who, born for the universe, narrowed his mind" by Darbyism.
** He reviewed thirteen of Kelly's volumes in his ''Commenting on the Commentaries''.

==Metropolitan Tabernacle==
The second structure built by PB in Ireland was [[Merrion Hall]], founded in Dublin in 1863 by William Fry, Henry Bewley and Joseph Denham Smith as a direct result of Moody's "Great Revival" 1859-1860 near the Georgian "Merrion Square". Its double-decker preacher's platform was said to have been almost identical to that of Metropolitan Tabernacle.
