The Pulpit is known as a Spurgeon Rail. It is modeled after the pulpit used by Charles Haddon Spurgeon in his church in London during the last century and symbolized the close connection between the Holy Scriptures and preached message. Spurgeon was known as one of the finest expository preachers of the last century.
