"They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every
one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that
sounded the trumpet was by me." — Nehemiah iv. 17, 18.

PREFACE.



"We have now completed twenty-five years of our Magazine. The
Sword has not lost its edge, nor has the Trowel grown rusty. Our
dependence has been upon a strength which outrides the tide of time ;
and for this reason, and for this reason only, we have not been suffered
to fail. This Magazine remains to bear witness for the Lord against
abounding error, and at the same time to encourage and stimulate every
holy endeavour to glorify the name of Jesus. Herein we rejoice, yea,
and will rejoice, that while the present period is a sad victim to the
energy of falsehood and worldliness, it is the object of Christian solici-
tude and endeavour to a very high degree. The weeds are shedding
their seeds, but the wheat is ripening its corn. Surely the harvest is
drawing near !

Next year, to begin another quarter of a century, we shall adopt a
new wrapper for The Sword and the Trowel ; but there will be no
change in its doctrine, nor in its method of promoting it. Our colours
are nailed to the mast.

Progress in the knowledge of truth does not imply the relinquish-
ment of that God-given gospel which has throughout the centuries saved
the souls of men. We ask our compeers whether the gospel of Paul, of
Augustine, of Calvin, of Owen, and of McCheyne, did not assuredly
bring salvation by Jesus Christ to those who knew nothing of " advanced
theology," and they dare not question that it did. We ask them whether
it does not still foster a true religious life, and they cannot deny it.
We shall therefore keep to that which has been so long tried and proved ;
and all the more so, because we see nothing new in " the new theology "
which is one half so likely to produce the same result. If he who doubts
the Divinity of our Lord, and the plan of Substitution, is called a
Christian by the advocates of novelties ; even they have not gone so far
as to deny the Christianity of those who firmly believe these glorious
truths : therefore, on the very lowest ground, we resolve to take that
road which is confessed to be safe, and in which a man may walk with
the holiest. But more, we tremble at the disappointment which will
surely come to those who lean on the bowing wall and tottering fence
which the moderns set before them. A faith which knows not Christ
as God, the divine Judge will not know at the last great day ; and
those who trample on the atoning blood will reap nothing but con-
demnation " in that day."

While we shall not bear the Sword in vain, but use it against error,
our Magazine will fully represent the work of the Trowel, in upbuilding-
the cause of God. Throughout another year our friends have sustained
The College, The Orphanage, The Evangelists, The Colportage, and The
JJooJr, Fund, and we thank them with a full heart. To these is added
The College Mission, which in Spain and North Africa has already done
some little for foreign lands. This last will need to be greatly enlarged,
and may safely be helped without injury to any other of the older
missions. We are rivals to nobody, but hope to do our own work in

quiet. We hope that, throughout the coming years, while we are
spared to conduct these many enterprises, we may have the sympathy
and the generous aid of the Lord's people, who judge us to be a fit
agent in these matters. We need assistance ; but we look for it to the
Lord himself, and lift our heart in prayer to him, that he may direct his
stewards to supply our needs.

Oar child, in its new
dress, still lives in its
old house, and we en-
treat readers of the maga-
zine and the weekly
sermon, to think of the
church in the Taber-
nacle in their prayers.
Our congregations have
never been more gene-
rally crowded than dur-
ing the year 1889, and
the number of conver-
sions has never been
more continuously cheer-
ing. The Spirit of the Lord is with us. But what if his gracious
presence were withdrawn ? Then might we call it Ichabod, for the
glory is departed. We are filled with anguish at the very supposition of
the good Lord's being grieved by the sin which he sees in us, so as to
turn from us in anger. That were a grief we could not bear. Death
would be desirable a thousand times beyond the least withdrawal of the
sacred power. In vain the crowds, the societies, the ministry, if such
a dire calamity should befall. Prayer must continually ascend that it
be not so ; for then the adversary would rejoice, and the gospel would
be ridiculed as having proved a failure. Truly, it would not have
failed, because our sins were thus sadly visited ; but it would seem so
among ungodly men, and " what would the Egyptians say ? " May the
Lord continue to bless his own work in our hand, for his name's sake !

Once more we offer our heartfelt gratitude to our readers and
helpers ; and we pray them to sustain us during the new period upon
which we shall enter next month. Amid our perpetual engagements,
the editing of this periodical is a heavy task; but we will press on
while life and health shall last, and the Lord shall help us. Praying in
the Holy Ghost, resting in the precious blood, trusting in God All-
sufficient, and looking for the coming of our Lord, we set up our banner,
and advance to a new year.

So writes,



The servant of the Lord's servants,

C. H. SPURGEON.
