Rev. David Black, Pastor

God’s “amazing grace” is
the only thing that could have
made such a change in the life
of John Newton. Only God
could have brought him down
the gangplank in 1748 for the
last time, free from the
spiritual and moral sickness of
his previous life, free from the
filth of years spent as a captain
in the British slave trade.
Captain John Newton was
only twenty-three years old.
But he had been to sea ever
since his pious mother had died
when he was only seven. After
sailing with his sea-captain
father, he had done a trick in
the British Navy. He had
deserted, was caught, put in
irons, and whipped in public.
Defiant, the youth had signed
on the lowest of all sea-going
craft-a slave ship. Young John
Newton hardly knew how to
read. But he knew the sea, and
it wasn’t long before he was
walking the bridge as master
of his own slaver.
But God was preparing anew
life for John Newton. So on a
long voyage from Brazil, when
there was time to think, John
discovered a book on board. He
read and re-read “The Imita
tion of Christ” written three
centuries earlier by Thomas a
Kempis. Then came a storm
that all but sent the captain and
his ship to the bottom of the
Atlantic. When the storm
calmed, Newton got serious
with the Christ of whom the old
monk had written.
Not an Englishman in the
empire would have dreamed
that Captain John Newton
would have quit the sea for the
pulpit. But when he paused for
a last look after descending the
gangplank in 1748, that’s
exactly what his mind was set
on doing.
After sixteen years at a land
job by day and self-education
by night, John Newton was
ordained in the Anglican
Church and sent to the little
town of Olney. He became one
of the most forceful ministers
in England. But he never gave
up his sea garb. In the sunset of
life, as pastor of one of
London’s greatest churches,
the one-time slave ship captain
walked into the pulpit in the
uniform of a sailor--with a
Bible in one hand and a
hymnbook in the other. He had
a story to tell and a song to
sing, of God’s amazing grace:
Amazing grace! how sweet
the sound,
That saved a wretch like
me!
I once was lost, but now am
found,
Was blind, but now I see.
IN MEMORIAL
In loving memory of Mr.
Robert W. Cook who passed
away one year ago, October 17,
1972.
We seem to see in the soft,
dim light
A face we loved the best,
And think of him, when the
sun’s last ray
Goes down in the far off west.
We miss you no less as time
passes on,
Than we did on the day of your
going.
For absence can never close
the door of our heart
And the lamp of our love is still
glowing.
Your heart was the truest in
all the wide world,
Your love the best to recall,
For no one on earth can take
you place,
You are the dearest of all. --
Mrs. Robert W. Cook, Children
and Grandchildren.
