began with a severe cold, but it was soon discovered that congestion of
the brain had set in, and the end rapidly came.

Prof. Hatch was born January 16, 1852, was educated at Oberlin College
and at the Union Theological Seminary in New York. He entered the
service of this Association in 1876, and has occupied honorable
positions in the schools at Montgomery, Ala., Tougaloo, Miss., and in
Lexington, Ky. In every post of duty, Mr. Hatch has shown himself to be
a faithful, conscientious and Christian worker, shrinking from no duty,
winning the confidence of the teachers and pupils, and showing adequate
results from his efficient labors. Mr. Hatch was reserved in manner, but
courteous and affable, and a man of spotless integrity and of entire
consecration to the work of the Master. It is a grief to record the
death of such faithful men, but it is a consolation to know that their
work was done and well done. The Christian life is not measured by its
length, but by the discharge of the duties allotted by the Heavenly
Father.
