Death of Mr Spurgeon
(per press association.) London, February 1. The Rev. C. H. Spurgeon died at Mentone in the presence of his wife and a few friends, at 11 o'clock on Sunday night. He was unconscious for some hours before his death. The press refer in eulogistic terms to the rev. gentleman, and declare that the death of such a great and fearless minister is a national loss. Later. Mr Spurgeon died of Bright's disease. He never recognised anyone after Saturday night. The family desire the re mains should be buried at Mentone, but will consent to a public funeral in London if the Deacons of the Church desire. The press, in their comments on Mr Spurgeon's death, recognised that he had taken broader views latterly, especially towards the Church of England. Auckland, February 1. At a meeting of the Auckland Baptist Tabernacle authorities to-night it was resolved to conduct a memorial service in honor of the late Mr Spnrgeon on the day of his funeral, and to request all the other Baptist churches throughout New Zealand to hold similar commemorations on that day.
