"There was a famous negro named Johnson," said the Rev. A. B. Lillingstonj one of the Anglican missioners, during an address at Auckland. Several people in the assemblage thought they knew all about that,, and their confidence was strengthened when the missionor went on to say that Johnson fought a fight. After this point, however, the links of thought diverged somewhat sharply, for the Johnson referred/to by the rev. gentleman was a negro who fought in tho American war of emancipation. Ho succeeded in being emancipated from a doublo thraldom—slavery and sin—and is 1 momor- " able as having declared that, sooner than return to the spiritual shackles of the sinner, he would accept onco more the material . chains and tho planter's whip.
