REV. JOHN RYLAND, D. D. Very few Baptists, probably, can be found who have not heard the name of Ryland, borne by two eminent ministers of that body in England. The younger one, Dr. John Ryland, is the hymn-writer of whom we now speak. He was born in 1753, and even in childhood began to write hymns, some of Avhich were printed in 232 AUTHORS AND ORIGIN OF HYMNS. the old magazines of that day, with the signature of J. B. , Junr. Before he had attained the age of five years, he was able to read t...he Twenty-Third Psalm in Hebrew, and at nine years could read the entire New Testament in Greek. At fourteen he was baptized by his father, and at eighteen preached his first sermon. After assisting his father for several years, he became his successor in 1786. In 1792, Brown University, in Ehode Island, con- ferred on him the degree of D. D. ; and in the year follow- ing he became the President of the Baptist College in Bristol, — a position he occupied, in connection with the pastorate of a large church, till his decease, in 1825.
