Archibald G. Brown
Archibald Geikie Brown (18 July 1844 – 2 April 1922) was a Calvinistic Baptist minister; a student, friend, and associate of Charles Spurgeon; and from 1908 to 1911, pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, the church earlier pastored by Spurgeon.〔Pastors of Metropolitan Tabernacle.〕
==Early years==
Brown, the son of a wealthy, evangelical London banker, was converted at age 16 through the influence of his Sunday school teacher at Spurgeon's Metropolitan Tabernacle, Ann Bigg (whom he later married), and a Church of England lay preacher, Stevenson Arthur Blackwood. In Brown's testimony, God "arrested a careless young man, who was cursing and swearing on Monday, and singing God's praises at twelve o'clock on Wednesday." He was baptized by Spurgeon in June 1861.〔Iain H. Murray, ''Archibald G. Brown: Spurgeon's Successor'' (Edinburgh: Banner of Truth Trust, 2011), 15, 18.〕
After the superintendent at the Union Chapel in Brixton Hill rejected his offer to teach Sunday school, Brown rousted up his own group of boys and began holding a Bible class. He was soon encouraged by the minister to speak at Saturday evening prayer meetings. In 1862 Spurgeon accepted him as a student in his Pastors' College, though Brown was far younger than most of the other students. 〔Murray, 17, 20-22. A later Principal of the College said that Brown's acceptance broke many rules but that Spurgeon was "no slave to his own rules" and "recognized in Brown the quality he most loved in a preacher—the determination 'by any means' to save some."〕 Spurgeon's wife recalled that of the hundreds of men that Spurgeon helped prepare for the ministry only one other man stood as high in his estimation as did Brown.〔''Autobiography'', eds. S. Spurgeon and J. W. Harrald (London: Passmore and Alabaster, 1899), 3: 131-32.〕
