There was a clumsiness about him which his father mistook for stupidity, and severely punished. The effect of such treatment was to retard his mental development. He learned bookbindery at Lausanne and Zürich, and began business at Thun; but the reading, in 1834, of Schleiermacher's

[blocks in formation]

Reden über die Religion so powerfully moved him, that he determined to study theology. He entered, after a brilliant examination, the University of Bern in 1835, passed his theological examination in 1838, and continued his studies at Bonn and Berlin 1838-40. He then returned home, became a pastor, and, after ten years' service, became professor extraordinary of theology at Bern 1850, ordinary professor of New-Testament exegesis and of theology there 1856, and so remained until his retirement as professor emeritus in 1881.
