The Man Who Originally Applied the
Chorus Once a Slave i'm Kentucky.

From the Missouri Republican.
Writing from Plattsburg Mo-. Mr. A. Musser
says: In common with thousands of kentuckians
OF the Blue Grass regions. fifty years ago, l
knew Nat Speaks, colored man OF undeniable
genius and unaffected piety He was the origin
ator of the hymn, 1.-The Old Ship of Zion.'' with
the chorus. GLORY EalleIuah," out of which
has since grown John Browns Body" and the
celebrated war song, ''Rally Round the Flag"
Nat Speaks. when l first saw him in 1884 was
of middle age and black of shin as the purest
blood OF his race. kind in behavior and simple in
speech as a child. His freedom had been be-
slowed upon him by his master, in whose family
ne had been born slave. where he had been
taught by the children to read and write He
passed his freedom in useful farm labor and his
spare tine as Il volunteer evangelist: teaching
by example. rather than by precept, the simple
truths Of Christianity. His strong point was
earnest singing OF hymns of his own making of
the class of compositions general then as corn
field and constructing songs. with grand
chorus. The "0ld Ship of Zion'' is readily
recognized as belonging to that class:
''The gospel ship is sailing,
sailing. sailing,
Bound for CdnaaQ'S happy shore.
All VINO would ship for glory,
Al who would ship for glory
Come and welcome. rich and poor,
Glory hallelujah, glory hallelujah." etc.
/ wildly recall to mind that once during a
season of great religious interest in Cynthiana,
Ky, Nat Speaks would be invited evening after
evening. to the houses OF the leading citizens to
sing his "Old Ship of Zion." and many nice lit
tie sums OF money were pressed into his hands
for his performances which never failed to inn
press his hearers. and not always without tears.
