HEIL, WILLIAM FRANKLIN: Bishop of the United Evangelical Church; b. at Berlinsville, Pa., May 1, 1S57 He was educated in Pennsylvania schools, and fitted himself for the ministry while teaching 1S74-80.

HEIMBUCHER, haim'bu-Her, MAX: German Roman Catholic; b. at Miesbach (16 m. s.s.w. of Munich) June 10, 1859. He was educated at the Lyceum of Freising and the University of Munich, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1883. After holding various clerical positions until 1889, he became privat-docent at the University of Munich, and two years later (1891) was appointed to his present position of professor of dogmatics, encyclopedics, and patristics at the Lyceum of Bamberg. He has written: Die Wirkungen der heiligen Kommunion (Regensburg, 1884); Die Bibliothek des Priesters (1885); Kurze Geschichte Freisings und seiner Bischofe (Freising, 1885); Die heilige Oelung (Regensburg, 1888); Die heilige Firmung (Augsburg, 1889); Die Papstwahlen unter den Karolingern (1889); Die Orden und Kongregationen der katholischen Kirche (2 vols., Paderborn, 1896-97; 2d ed. 3 vols., 1907-08); and Die praktisch-sociale Thatigkeit des Priesters (1902).
HEINECCIUS, hai-nec'tsi-us, JOHANN MI- CHAEL: German theologian; b. at Eisenberg (35 m.s. of Halle) 1674; d. at Halle Sept. 11, 1722. He studied at Jena, Giessen, and Helmstedt, and traveled in Germany and the Netherlands. In 1699 he was ordained deacon at Gosslar, became pastor at Halle in 1708, and assistant superintendent of Halle and neighborhood. About 1709 he qualified for the doctorate in theology at Helmstedt, and was appointed councilor of the royal Prussian consistory and superintendent for the duchy of Magdeburg, and rector of St. Mary's Church at Halle.
The reputation sustained by Heineccius was that of a great scholar, both in theology and in other branches of knowledge. His library consisted of 4,000 volumes — a very considerable number for those times. He was, moreover, a writer of ability, and most of his works are preserved in the university library at Halle. He seems to have been the first scientific student of seals, and a result of this pursuit was his De veteribus Germanorum aliarumque nationum sigillis eorumque usu (Frankfort, 1709). In the same year he published a large volume on the history of Gosslar and its neighborhood. His best work in history is his Eigentliche und wahrhaftige Abbildung der alten und neuen griechischen Kirche nach ihrer Historic, Glaubens-Lehren und Kirchen-Gebrauchen (3 vols., Leipsic, 1711). The full bibliography concerning the Greek Church found there is still useful. Heineccius received high commendation for his sermon preached at the bicentennial of the Reformation in 1717 Of espe-
cial interest is his Prufung der sogenannten neuen Propheten und ihres ausserordentlichen Zustandes (Halle, 1715). Heineccius is credited also with the authorship of two hymns.
Heineccius was a man of wide learning, of a balanced and hospitable temperament, and an adherent of moderate Lutheran orthodoxy.
