		<description><![CDATA[Others have noted this too. Here&#039;s one example: https://books.google.com/books?id=5gmvCwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA71&amp;lpg=PA71&amp;dq=spurgeon+overwork+depression&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=BxJQ2Eu7fk&amp;sig=VY5cov_5lBFubGGhGdSYS1fHJ38&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjqi-rhiufUAhUEKiYKHSgVAVoQ6AEIIDAB#v=onepage&amp;q=spurgeon%20overwork%20depression&amp;f=false

Here&#039;s an extract from his bio: No one living knows the toil and care I have to bear . . . I have to look after the Orphanage, have charge of a church with four thousand members, sometimes there are marriages and burials to be undertaken, there is the weekly sermon to be revised, The Sword and the Trowel to be edited, and besides all that, a weekly average of five hundred letters to be answered. This, however, is only half my duty, for there are innumerable churches established by friends, with the affairs of which I am closely connected, to say nothing of the cases of difficulty which are constantly being referred to me.” (Autobiography, vol. 2,192)]]></description>
