Henry T. Spangler, A.M., D.D., PRESIDENT OF LRSIM'S COII I GF. ' Success iii every art, whatever mr.y he the natural talent, i always the reward of industry and j»ain-. II'ate. PRESIDENT SPANGLER is a native of Myerstown. Pa. lie was born November 14. 1853, near the spot where iiis ancestors settled on arriving in this country in 1747. The genealogy of his family is of no little importance, being traceable to the eleventh century, where the record lays bare the fact that one. George Spangler, under the llerv eloquence of Pope Urban, was induced to leave his quiet home in Heidelberg to enlist as a soldier of the cross, and to do battle in the first crusade for the recovery of the tomb of the Redeemer. The pious wish of Dr. Spangler’s ancestor, however, was unfulfilled : for with hundreds of other poor German unfortunates he was smitten with the plague, died in the Holy Land, and lies buried at Antioch. After passing through the public schools, the subject of this sketch was registered at Palatinate College, then a preparatory school of our church. On being graduated from Palatinate he entered Ursiuus College, and in two years, in 1S73, was graduated at the head of the first class to go out from his Alma Afalm.

While teaching here lie entered the Theological Seminary as a student, and two years later, in 1875, completed the course of instruction necessary to the holy ministry. In June, 1875, the Classis of Lebanon had before them for examination two young men, applicants for licensure. The young men were James I Good, 1). 1).. now Dean of Ursiuus Theological Seminary, and Dr. Spangler. The examination was so well sustained that both were licensed to preach in the ministry of the Reformed Church. Led by a literary taste and a wish for a larger vision of life, Dr. Spangler that same year accepted the position of Associate Editor of the Christian World, which was published by the church in Cincinnati, Ohio. Here lie became engaged in missionary work, and was ordained by the Classis of Miami, Synod of Ohio, at St. Paris in 1875. One year later, while still engaged in editorial and missionary work at Cincinnati, he was united in marriage to Marion E. Rombcrger. third daughter of Dr. Bombcrger, the founder and first president of Ursinus College. In the beginning of 1877, President Spangler began his career as a pastor at Lancaster, Ohio, where he served one year, resigning the charge to accept the pastorate at Columbiana. Two years later he was succeeded here by the Rev. 12
