that is all over the world-there is known
the name of John H. Vincent, who was
ordained bishop in 1872, having entered
the ministry il the New Jersey confer
ence in 1858. He was born February 90,
1889 and his home-if SO cosmopolitan
a man can be said to have home-is in
Topeka, Kan. He was the originator of
the Chautauqua educational system, and
is, therefore, admired and loved by thous-
ands, irrespective entirely of his person
ality as minister.
j. M. Thoburn is perhaps in many
ways the most remarkable of them all.
At the age of fourteen years he was left
fatherless and compelled to fight life's
battle alone. After a severe struggle he
received his diploma from Allegheny
College in 1857. Two years later he sailed
as missionary to India, where he took
charge of Himalayan station. He made
his headquarters at Calcutta. He was
born March Z, 1886, entered the ministry
in the Pittsburg conference in 1858 and
become bishop in 1888.
