John Newton, in commenting upon Paul's. 'statement to the Corinthians concerning himself ;,( 1 Cor. 15:10), said: "I am not what I ought to be; I am; not what I wish to be; I am not what I hope to be. Yet! Though I am not what I ought to be, nor what I wish to' be, nor what I hope to be, I am not what I once was, and 'by the grace of God I am what I am.'" How, much of truth, thought, and experience is in these few words!
