spurgeon on kids in the church

“I will say broadly that I have more confidence in the spiritual life of the children that I have received in to this church than I have in the spiritual condition of the adults thus received. I will go even further than that, and say that I have usually found a clearer knowledge of the gospel and a warmer love to Christ in the child-converts than the man-converts. I will even astonish you still more by saying that I have sometimes met with a deeper spiritual experience in the children of ten and twelve than I have in certain persons of fifty or sixty.” -Charles Spurgeon
