Excerpt from Life of Rev. J. F. C. Heyer, M. D A Life of Father Heyer needs no apology, excuse ought rather be offered for not having one before this. But his great predecessor in India, C. F. Schwartz, waited even longer for a biographer, it was thirty-five years after his death before his life was published by Dr. Pearson in I833. The present life was undertaken by the Father Heyer Missionary Society, of Mt. Airy Seminary, in 1896, at the suggestion of Dr. Jacobs. A committee of six was appointed in that year to gather materials for a life. The following year a new com mittee was appointed with the writer as chairman, the work was distributed among the members, note-books procured and materials gathered. In the spring of 1898 the writer left the seminary, but was retained on the committee. Since then he has continued the work alone, using the materials already in hand and gathering others. In 1900 the society authorized him to publish a life such as he could prepare. Sources for the life were not wanting, but they are so scattered that it has been impossible to consult and use them as they deserve, my note-books contain many references to articles which have at the time when most needed been out of reach. The following list gives the chief sources: Autobiographical sketches in the Lutherische Zeitschrift, 1865. '67 and '68.
