IF uob flDcH)iarmib. HUGH McDIARMID was born in Ontario, Canada, July loth, 1837. His parents came from the Highlands of Scotland. When old enough he went to school in winter and worked in summer. This continued until he was qualified to teach a common school, which he did for five years. In i860 he united with the Church and soon began to speak in public. Four years later he entered Bethany College. He was graduated in the class of 1867 in the honor group. Immediately after graduation Mr. McDiarmid accepted a call from the Church at Barnesville, Ohio, where he remained two years. During his ministry at BarnesviUe he was married to Miss Mary Campbell, the gifted and accomplished daughter of Mr. Neil Campbell, of Morpeth, Canada. In 1875 hfi accepted a call from the Churches of Christ in Canada, asking him to do evangelistic work for what was known as the Wellington Co-operation. He removed to Toronto, where he remained eight years, preaching in that city and holding meetings with many of the Churches. In addition to his work as an evangelist he edited the Bible Index, a monthly religious magazine. While lie was in Canada he had eight public discussions, one of which has been published. Early in 1883 he went to Cincinnati at the request of Dr. Isaac Errett, who wished him to assist in editing the Christian Standard. After the untimely death of J. M. Trible, acting President of Bethany College, the Trustees unanimously elected Mr. McDiarmid to the Presidency. His preaching is pre-eminently scriptural and spiritual. He is the prince of expositors. As a debater he is fair to an opponent. At the same time he is quick to see a fallacv in argument and abundantly able to deal with it. However much one might differ from him in views, no one ever felt any doubt as to his being a Christian, a gentleman and a scholar. 14

5obn m. ZvMc, JOHN M. TRIBLE was born near Diinnsville, Virginia, August i8th, 1851. He was educated mainly in Dunns- ville Academy and Bethany College. He entered Bethany College in 1873, and graduated in June, 1875. In November of the same year he took charge of th e Church at Norfolk, Virginia. He remained there until September, 1877, when he moved to Franklin, Tennessee. From Franklin he went to Memphis, Tennessee, in January, 1879. In August, 1882, he accepted the pastorate of the Church in Bufifalo, New York, succeeding G. L. Wharton, who went as a missionary to India. He remained there until January, 1887, when he went to St. Louis to take the position of office editor of the Christian Evangelist. While there he also occupied the pulpit of tlie Central Church. In February, 1888, he was called back to the pastorate of the Bufifalo Church, and remained there until he accepted the Professorship of New Testament Theology in Bethany College in September, 1889, and was also made Vice President of the institution. On the resignation of President McLean, he was chosen to act as Chairman of the Faculty and President, pro tempore. He was married June 24th, 1879, ' o Miss Susie Campbell, dauglliter of William P. a nd Susan Campbell, of Franklin, Tennessee. Four children — two boys and two girls — have blessed this union. He attributed chief credit for whatever he was able to accomplish, to his estimable wife. While still a young man. Professor Trible died at Bethany, September 25th, 1889. His death awakened profound sorrow throughout the brotherhood. Every person who knew him had come to love him for his beautiful character, and to trust him because of his wisdorn. His sun has gone down ere it is yet noon. His life had great promises of usefulness. But God knows, and let us not doubt He has use for such spirits in the higher activities of the spiritual realm. His wish that he might go to heaven from old Bethany was fulfilled, but, alas! how much sooner than he or we anticipated. 13
