His ship- mates were a rough lot, but he be- came the roughest and most blasph- emous of all. As was not unseal in those days, he was taken by a press- gang a few years' later, and forced. into the British naval service. His education, birth and nautical know- ledge soon brought him advancement to the midshipman class, and no doubt he might have had a fine car- eer as a naval officer. But his vices appeared to have gained a mastery over him. He would . not endure-re- proof ndure-re- proof and became not only insubor- dinate but actually an inciter to mut- iny. For this he was flogged and dis- missed from his ship and the service, He drifted from bad to worse until he became virtually the slave of an African slave dealer on an island off the west coast of that continent. and justice could and would pardon sin, Jahn Newton reached England at last, a 'humble penitent Christian, to find Mary Catlett awaiting hini, and also a fair sum of money he had in- herited, Re married, and for six years sailed his own ship—most of the time as a slaver—studying his Bible, thedlogical and classical books, all of his spare time. At twenty-nine years of age he left the sea, and spent nine years more in England learning Hebrew and Greek. as .well as other languages and spend- ing inuch time with the celebrated George Whitefield, and John Wesley. His remarkable history, his natural ability and industrious energy direct- ed attention to him, and after careful trial he was ordained to the sacred ministry in the Church of England and appointed to the curacy of Olney, Thither came the afflicted. poet Cow- per, and the two became devoted friends and co-workers. Both wrote many valuable hymns which they published in the "Olney Hymns," a collection that soon became popular and had a great effect upon British hymnology. NewtGrn will always be remembered for his notable hymn, esteemed one of • the finest in our language: "How sweet the Same of Jesus sounds," and "Glorious things of Thee are spo- ken," the only jubilant hymn of praise in the Olney book. The last part of his life from 1780 to 1807 he spent as Rector of the im- portant, church of St. Mary's Wool- noth; London, always the busy suc- cessful parish worker, eager theolo- gical controversialist and able preach- ed. "What, shall the old African blasphemer stop while he can speak?" he cried, when, unable to read his sermons, he had to have some one in the pulpit to act as eyes to him. In his old 'church his monumental tablet, designed by himself, still re- mains, with its inscription: "John Newton, clerk, once an infidel and libertine, a servant of •slaves in Af rica; was by the rich mercy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, pre- served, restored, pardoned, and ap- pointed to preach the faith he had long labored to destroy." The fourth verse of his hymn is generally omitted, • and a good many attempts have been made to alter the word.

He remembered his geom- etry, and drawing his diagrams in the sand, he worked out Euclid's elements and deductions from them, and so he preserved his reason. In after life he wrote: "I remem- bered that on some of those mournful days which I spent on that African Island, I• was busied in planting le- mon trees . . my master and his And drives away his fear. black mistress, passing by my place stopped awhile to look at me; at last, It makes the wounded ..spirit whole, 'Who knows,' said he, 'but by the And calms the troubled breast; time these trees grow up and bear, 'Tis manna to the hungry soul, you may go home to England, obtain And to the weary rest. the command of a ship, and return to reap the fruit of your labors?
