Mrs Bartlett And Her Class at the Metropolitan Tabernacle

Mrs. Bartlett: An AMAZING Woman


"Mrs. Bartlett was a woman of intense force of character. She believed with all her heart, and therefore acted with decision and power. She flamed in determined earnestness at times when only fire could clear a path, and then there was no withstanding her, as her class very well knew." - Charles Spurgeon


In 1873 Mrs. Bartlett was asked to fill in as the teacher of a Sunday school class for older women. That first class had three women in it. Seven years later there were more than 700 women attending her class.


This is an inspirational true story of a woman whose life was dedicated to prayer and evangelism.


When she was younger she was known as the "prayer girl," living a life of constant prayer. And she was also an evangelist, proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ at every opportunity. In 1870 an article in New York Independent stated: "Conversions were numerous; and in the course of time, it became necessary to hold the sabbath-afternoon classes in a larger room."


God uses those who are weak.


She was also a successful in business and a dedicated, loving mother. Yet she continually faced health problems. Charles Spurgeon wrote: "Amid all her abounding labors, Mrs. Bartlett was the subject of frequent pain and constant weakness. She had the energy of vigorous health, and yet was almost always an invalid. It cost her great effort to appear before her class on many occasions, but then she would often succeed best, as she pleaded with them, as a dying woman" to be reconciled to God. 'Out of weakness were made strong, ' was her continual experience."


"Mrs. Bartlett was a choice gift from God to the Church at the Tabernacle, and the influence of her life was far-reaching, stimulating many others besides those who by her means were actually led to the Savior." - Charles Spurgeon


Mrs. Bartlett's story is one of a Godly women... an example for all of us.
