D. R. Brooker of the excellent church history blog: Running Well had a contest today for an original copy (see above) of The Sword & Trowel magazine, edited by Charles Spurgeon, as it was originally published in February 1889. I won! Below are the three questions which I had to answer correctly:

1) What was the title of the first published book written by Charles Spurgeon?

2) In what issue of The Sword & Trowel magazine did Spurgeon first write on the “Down Grade” controversy? (month & year required)

3) In 1860, Spurgeon travelled to Geneva and met the Swiss theologian and historian, J.H. Merle D’Aubigne. D’Aubigne presented Spurgeon with a medal of John Calvin. Which medal was it? (year and artist required).
