Kollenbusch (also Collenbusch), Samuel, M.D., an eminent (Jcrraan pietist, and the fomider of a theo- logical scliool, was born of pious parents in the town of Barmen (Rhenish Prussia), Sept, 1, 1724. He hesitated long between theology and medicine, but finally decided for the latter, and studied at Uuisburg and Strasburg. Through all his studies, however, he did not forget to attend to his spiritual improvement, and attained great Christian self-control and perfection. While stuclying at Strasburg he began to inquire into mysticism and alchemy, which were then considered as having a close connection with each other. Upon the completion of his imiversity studies he began the practice of medicine at Duisburg, but in 1784 retired to Barmen, and there spent the remainder of his life, partly in the practice of mcchcine, partly in disseminating his peculiar religious views. He died Sept. 1,1803. Dr. Kollenbusch can, in many respects, be considered entitled to a place between the mystic separatist Tersteegen (q. v.), born twenty- seven j'ears before him, and Jung-Stilling (q.v.), sixteen years younger. Like the latter, ho first inclined to Leib- nitz and AVolfs philosophical system, then became a Bcngelian, though without approving all Bengcl's views. He attachetl especial importance to the visions of Doro- theo Wuppermann, of Wichlinghausen, a patient of his attacked with hysterics. Among the results of Dr. Kol- lenbusch's practical activity are to be named the Bar- men Missionary Society, ami the Iiarmen Mission estab- lishment. He wrote Erldiinniii /lih/ischer Wahrheiten (Elberf. 1807) -.—GoldeveA ej,f,l iu .■^dtiernen Schalen (Bar- men, 1854). See T. W. Krug, Die Lehre d.

Kollock, Henry, D.D., a Presbyterian minister, was born Dec. 14, 1778, at New Providence, Essex Coun- ty, N. ,J., and graduated at New Jersey College in 1794. Having devoted himself to study for the three succes- sive years, he was appointed tutor in his alma mater. In this position he distinguished himself for his skill in debate, passing his leisure hours in the study of theol- ogy. In 1800 he Avas licensed, and preached for five months at Princeton, where he also delivered a series of discourses on the life and character of St. Peter, which were remarkable for their brilliancy and attraction. On leaving Princeton he took charge of the Church at Eliz- abethtown, and was a zealous promoter of missions to the destitute regions in Morris and Sussex Counties. In 1803 he returned to Princeton as pastor and professor, and in 1806 accepted a call from the Independent Pres- byterian Church at Savannah, Ga., where his labors were abundant. He sailed for England in 1817, not only in quest of liealth, but also to collect materials for a life of John Calvin, and after an absence of eight months re- turned to Savaimah, where he died, Dec. 29, 181 9. A col- lection of his Sermons was published in 1822 (Savannah, 4 vols. 8vo). Dr. J. W. Alexander {Life of Dr. A rchi- bald A lexander, \t. 359) pays Dr. Kollock a very high tribute as a scholar, and says of him as a preacher that he was "one of the most ornate yet vehement orators whom our country has produced." — Sprague, A nnals, iv, 263 sq. ^0.^ Cambridge GenercdEepository,\,\ob\ Chris- tian Review, vol. xiv ; Kollock (S.

Kolontaj, Hugo, a Polish Roman Catholic theolo- gian of note, was born in the county of Sandomir April 1, 1759; was educated at Pinczow and Cracow, and in 1774 became canon at the cathedral of Cracow. He was a decided opponent of the Jesuits, and did all in his power to purge the schools of Poland from Jesuitical aid or influence. In 1782 the University of Cracow, in rec- ognition of his services, elected him rector for three years, but his opponents succeeded in driving him from the place after only two years of his term had expired. During the Polish Revolution he worked earnestly in behalf of reform, and Avhen the Revolution failed he was obliged to flee from the country, and thereafter he nev- er held office again, though he was permitted to return to his native country. He died at Warsaw February 28, 1812. His works are all of a secular nature ; their ti- tles are given in Brockhaus, Conversations Lexikon (11th edition), viii, 923.
