J.C.Philpot was for many years editor of the Gospel Standard. No less than 12 volumes of his sermons have been re-printed in recent years. His preaching was marked by clear views of gospel truth: an ability to set forth the deepest truths in a simple manner; a wealth of similies from nature to open up and explain the things of God; and a clear discernment of the vital distinction between a mere profession of Christ and a true saving knowledge of Him.
