ciated with Bishop Baker in the faculty five years. After Dr. Baker left, he had charge of the Seminary two years. He then went to Albion, Michigan, and had charge of that institution seven years. And one year ago he was elected President of the North-Western University. "Dr. Hinman's health was not good during the summer, being afflicted with diarrhea; but he could not be prevailed upon to keep quiet during the hot season. At the Iowa Conference he preached three times on the Sabbath, and again on Tuesday, and was attacked with a violent hemorrhage of the bowels. Believing that he was about to be sick, he made all haste to reach his family in Newbury, Vt. He started for Vermont on Wednesday, and traveled day and night until he reached Troy, N. Y. Here his strength failed him, and he could travel no further. Bro. H. W. Ransom, one of the stationed preachers at Troy, took him to his house, and everything that eminent medical skill and kind nursing could do, was done for him. He was sick here two weeks. During the first week his disease was of a dysenteric type, and afterwards of a typhoid. His wife was with him during the last week of his sickness. During the last week he was unable to converse with his friends, but he was perfectly sane through the first week. During the first week he remarked to Bro. Ransom, respecting his preparation for death, that he had long before made preparation for that event, and if it was God's will, he was ready to go.' On another occasion he said, alluding to his religious state, that it was perfect calm.' 'You feel, then.' Bro. R. added, ‘that the Savior is precious.' 'Yes,' said he, ‘never more so.' 'You have no doubts nor fears?' 'How can I?' said he, 'no, never, never!' He died on Saturday, Oct. 21, about 4 o'clock, P. M., and was carried to Newbury, where the funeral services were attended on Tuesday. I preached to a very large concourse, at the chapel, on the occasion."
