John Newton
John Newton was born in London, July 24, 1725 and died there December 31, 1807. According to his excellent autobiography, in early life, as a sailor, he was foul-mouthed and impious, which led him to call himself towards the end of his life, the “old African blasphemer.” In Africa the slave-trader was himself a slave to slave-traders in a fearful humiliation, but, by the Providential hand of the Lord, escaping by ship for the long journey home, he was brought near death in a great storm when all seemed lost. He now prayed where before he blasphemed. From that moment a wonderful change came over him. From being a mocker of the Bible he now became its most ardent reader. John Newton the foul-mouthed blasphemer had been converted to Jesus Christ. It was not of his doing but by the grace of God. He faithfully taught this doctrine throughout the rest of his long life.
