The Rev. Dr. Newman Hall, who now retires from the pastorate of Christ Church after fifty years of continuous preaching, began his life as a journalist at Maidstone. He tells a merry tale of his early experiences as a police-court reporter. : At twenty he was an expert compositor, and, ere he pat on a high collar and a black cravat, he had the details of newspaper work at his finger's end. After he became pastor of Surrey - Chapel, his ; ministerial duties were very numerous, but he found time—'" between sermons," as he puts itto read up for the LL.B degree at the London University and to win honours and a Law Scholarship. ;He _ is seventy now, but does not look it. At the picturesque old house at Hampatead he will spend the rest of his days amid his books. - ■ ' /- v l ' ' Mdme.
