ALLON, HENRY English Congregational min ister, was born on Oct. 13 1818, at Welton, Yorkshire. In 1844 he became co-pastor with Thomas Lewis of Union chapel, Islington. In 1852, on the death of Lewis, Allon became sole pastor, and this position he held with increasing influence till his death in 1892. Under his ministry the social aspects of church life were developed, and Union chapel became the first of what have since come to be known as institutional churches. Allon published in 1858 the original edition of his well-known Congregational Psalmist. For many years his collection of hymns, chants and anthems was used in hundreds of churches throughout England. Allon edited the British Quarterly Review from 1874 onwards, and was twice chairman of the Congregational Union.
