HALL, CHRISTOPHER NEWMAN (181619oz)

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 846 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
HALL, CHRISTOPHER NEWMAN (181619oz) , English Nonconformist divine, was born at Maidstone on the 22nd of May 1816. His father was John Vine
Hall
 , proprietor and printer of the Maidstone Journal, and the author of a popular evangelical
work
  called The Sinner's Friend. Christopher was educated at University College, London, and took the London B. A. degree. His theological training was gained at Highbury College, whence he was called in 1842 to his first pastorate at the Albion Congregational Church, Hull. During the twelve years of his ministry there the membership was greatly increased, and a branch chapel and school were opened. At Hull Newman
Hall
  first began his active
work
  in temperance reform, and in defence of his position wrote The Scriptural Claims of Teetotalism. In 18J4 he accepted a
call
  to Surrey chapel, London, founded in 1783 by the Rev. Rowland Hill. A considerable sum had been bequeathed by Hill for the perpetuation of his work on the expiration of the lease; but, owing to some legal flaw in the will, the money was not available, and Newman Hall undertook to raise the necessary funds for a new church. By weekly offertories and donations the money for the beautiful building called Christ Church at the junction of the Kennington and Westminster
Bridge
  Roads was collected, and within four years of opening (1876) the total cost (63,000) was cleared. In 1892 Newman Hall resigned his charge and devoted himself to general evangelical work. Most of his writings are small booklets or tracts of a distinctly evangelical character. The best known of these is Come to Jesus, of which over four million copies have been circulated in
forty
  different languages. Newman Hall visited the United States during the Civil War, and did much to promote a friendly understanding between England and America. A Liberal in politics, and a keen admirer of John
Bright
 , few preachers of any denomination have exercised so far-reaching an influence as the " Dissenters'
Bishop
 ," as he came to be termed. He died on the 18th of February 1902.
See his Autobiography (1898) ; obituary notice in The Congregational Year Book for 1903.
