关于斯波俊的趣事也许比其他任何一位大传教士的都要多。这里讲的是其中一个逗人的故事。有一个朋友给他打电话，说：

“你读了今天早晨的报纸了吗？”

“读了。”

“你是不是在布告栏里看到我死亡的消息了？”

“是的。”

“你有何感想？”

“不知道，”斯波俊回答说。“我想知道的是你现在从什么地方给我打电话？”

More funny stories are told of Spurgeon than perhaps anygreat preacher．Here is a good one． He was called to the telephone by a friend who said：

“Have you read this morning's paper？”

“Yes”

“Did you see in it a notice that I was dead？”

“Yes．”

“What do you think of it？”

“Don't know，”replied Spurgeon．“What I want to knowis where are you speaking from？”
