Sketch of Tir. Qusi. T VVAS on the eighth of August, 1905, that one of the most faithful sons of the church was called to his reward. Rev. lrlerman Rust, whom all of the present student generation personally recollect, and for whom the alumni of many years will always cherish a ten- der and sincere regard, has passed on before to the man- sions prepared for those that love God, after a long life of devoted and faithful service for the Master. Born in the city of Bremen, Germany, on December 8, 1816, he passed his boyhood amid stormy scenes. War was raging, and before the Napoleonic invasion, flight was the only safety, and the homes of the unfortunate victims were burned as they fled. Owing to the influence of his pious mother, the boy was kept under strict religious dis- cipline, and very early in his youth we find that he is seeking a place in the Masters vineyard, to aid in the harvest. lt was in his twenty-fourth year that he and a companion of like age, sailed away from their fatherland forever, seeking new fields of labor in the New World. For some time he pursued the bakers' trade, which had been taught him in his youth, working in eastern cities. But within five years great changes have taken place, and the young man is now approaching Mercersburg, seeking a collegiate training. College and Seminary curriculum being mastered, he is ordained and sent forth, as in the days of old, to the lost sheep. And greatly was his work prospered. Not only were many brought into the fold, but new fields were organized through his untiring zeal. Wlieii the days of carnage and fraternal strife came, this faithful soldier of the cross was always at the post of duty. The crisis was to be met, and he met it as only a loyal follower and Hrm disciple of the Master can face the ultimate things. In May of 1862, Dr. Rust was extended the call to the German professorship in college and seminary at Heidel- berg. He held a position in our institutions here for a period of over thirty-eight years. In addition to his duties in the professorate, he was the efficient pastor of the Second Reformed church in this city for over twenty- one years. Therefore we wonder not at the gloom that hovered over many Tiffin homes on the day when this Father of the Church was called from hence. We re- joice over the life and deeds of a great, good man, and pray that others may follow in his footsteps.
