James Smith was a predecessor of Charles Spurgeon at New Park Street Chapel in London from 1841 until 1850. Early on, Smith's readings were even more popular than Spurgeon's! From "Daily Bible Readings for the Lord's Household" The habit of laying up a text of Scripture in the morning, to be meditated upon while engaged in the business of this world through the day—is both profitable and delightful. It is as a refreshing draught to a weary traveler! My object in these pages is . . . to stir up the minds of the Lord's people, to caution them against sin, to guard them against Satan, and to stimulate them in the path of holy obedience. Christ Crucified - James Smith Beloved, if we would save souls from death, if we would rescue sinners from eternal misery, if we would make believers happy, if we would cover Satan with shame, if we would deprive death of its sting, and if we would make the road to glory plain— we must preach Christ crucified; we must exercise faith in Christ crucified; and we must daily meditate on Christ crucified!
