Jacob Hugh Heckman was born near Hammond. Platt County. Illinois on July 17. 1887. He grew to manhood at Cerro Gordo, Illinois. At the age of twenty he sought the climate of Colorado for his health and lived for three years at Rocky Ford. Since that time he has made his home In successive order at Mount Morris. Chicago, and Oak Park, Illinois, at Fruita, Colorado, and McPherson, Kansas.

Brother Heckman came naturally to a deep Intercut In spiritual things through generations or godly ancestry and the Influence of home and church. He united with the Church of the Brethren In Cerro Gordo In 1902 and was railed to the ministry by that congregation In 1905.

Colorado. He was ordained to the eldership by the Chicago church in 1916. As health permitted he held series of meetings and Bible Institutes In many churches.

It was Professor Heckman’s own estimate of himself that his greatest contribution to the church and society lay In the teaching of religion. He began teaching In the Sunday School at the age of fifteen and only III health at Intervals kept him from a continuous record. His education was secured In the grades and the high school of Cerro Gordo, at Colorado College, Mount Morris College. Bethany Biblical Seminary, and the University of Chicago. He was for ton years a teacher In Bethany, leaving there to seek recuperation In Colorado In 1925. After three years at Fruita.

BIBLE TEACHER LEADER OF Y. M. ORGANIZATION

Heckman Faculty Member on Cabinet for Several Year*

Professor J. Hugh Heckman was the faculty member of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet from his appointment on the McPherson College faculty until the school year 193l-'32. when his health made it Impossible for him to continue.’

His leadership was tolerant but possessed of conviction; Ills viewpoints were practical and based on scholarship and information. He possessed the capacity of understanding and sympathising with the undergraduate view of problems and situations. but reserved for himself the right to hold the views to which greater experience and knowledge entitled him. The value of a leader Is dependent not alone upon the qual-ity of his public work or the mastery of his own field of study, hut Is largely a mutter of his own character and personality. The quality of Professor Heckman's example and the purity of his life arc among his greatest contributions to those who knew him. The Y. M. C. A. as a representative Christian organization upholds the Ideals of courage and strength. In the way Professor Heckman faced his own problems and troubles he revealed his worthiness to lead students In their attempt In face their own problems courageously as a Christian should.

The imprint of his personality and his contributions will not be forgotten by those who worked with him in the Y. M. C. A.

FACULTY MEMBER TELLS OF WORK OF COLLEAGUE

Blair Says He Possessed Virtues of Best of Us

There are times when we are keenly conscious of the futility of words to convey our ideas or portray our feelings. In writing this brief tribute to the memory of my friend and coworker, J. Hugh Heckman. I am fully aware of the weakness of ordinary language to express my sentiments. The occasion warrants the gift of the poet or the Inspiration of the artist. So admitting ray personal limitation for the task. I am happy to hear testimony to one who possessed all the virtues of the best of us. and none of the weaknesses of character and personality which make the effort* of so many otherwise generous souls sordid and unattractive.

Professor Heckman really needs no eulogist. The memory of his earnest labor and exemplary living Is Indelibly engraved upon the hearts of all who were privileged to enjoy his Instruction. counsel, and fellowship. He walked before God and man without blame. He did his duty without thought of honor, popularity, or fame. The trivial and petty consid-rations of life gave him little con-ern. If there he one single word III all the wealth of the English language which adequately describes his predominating quality of character in is the word "loyalty"—loyalty to family, friends, college, church, country. God, and every cause and work In which he was engaged, He was truly unselfish and never hesitated to give unstinted commendation to his fellow-workers and associates who wrought faithfully and well. Like the chief artists who weave the Gobelin tapestries. he was content to stand behind the cloth and let those In front appear to be the chief controbutions to the beauty of the fabric.

A* a scholar, he was careful, discriminating. and profound. His splendid intellect and scholarly habits kept him free from all that savored of cant narrowness, and dogmatism, and Inspired him with tolerance and a wholesome faith in God and man. His optimism was refreshing, his enthusiasm was genuine and con-tagious and his radiant countenance evidenced personal poise and spiritual victory.

As a teacher he was more concerned with the personal develop ment of his students than with precepts. facts and formula. While not neglectful of subject-matter, he looked upon it as a means to an end rather than the end In Itself. To him, teaching meant the stimulation of youthful dreams, the cultivation of a new and ever broadening point-of view, the nurturing of positive and constructive attitudes, the improvement of personality, and the development of character.

As a friend and colleague, he was unselfish, helpful, considerate and generous to a fault. If there was criticism It was always constructive and given In the spirit of helpful-

IN GOSPEL MESSENGER

Most Profound Philosophical Dis-

cussions Not Baffling to Him

In "The Gospel Messenger" for May 20, 1933. appeared an article by Pres. V. F. Schwalm on J. Hugh Heckman. Paris from the same article were read by the author at tho funeral of the deceased. The following Is an excerpt.

Ever since the passing of our dear Brother Heckman, there has been on the lips of all who knew him a uniform chorus of praise for the beautiful life that has come to such an untimely end. It Is the same tes-timony that has come to me of his life ever since I first learned of him 20 years ago Just us he was graduating from Mt. Morris College; the same story that came to us when he was for ten years on the faculty of Bethany Bible School; the same story that came from his flock when I visited the town where he served as pastor In Western Colorado; the same testimony that has come from his students and colleagues here at McPherson. And as we lived, and labored, and fellowshipped together these five years, the closer Intimacies of our life, did not require us to revise our opinion of him or to lower our estimate.

Unquestionably there has passed from our midst a very extraordinary man -one of the most revered, the most beloved and one of the host men It has ever been my lot to know. Hundreds feel that they have suffered a personal loss in his passing. Some scarcely know how they can cary on without his calm faith and wise counsel. I think I never knew of so much kindly good will manifest toward any man and so little adverse criticism.

The question that arises unhidden is; What wore the combination of qualities that produced such a character and what was the secret of his beautiful life. First as to the qualities of his life.

Bro. Heckman was a man with a strong Intellect. The frailty of his body did not affect the quality of his mind. His mind was brilliant, and original. Many times In repartee, In debate or In his writings the subtle brilliance of his mind was evident. But he was also profound. The most profound philosophical discussions did not baffle him. He saw clearly and expressed his thoughts In clear simple language. I have seen him take passages couched In long, many-syllabled words and rewrite them lulu clear simple English, retaining the thought but simplifying the language.

This intellectual quality In his life saved him from sentimentalism In religon. Mere emotional excitement had no appeal to him unless there was also present a body of troth that  gave strength and stability. This strong, masculine, discriminating, in- tellectual quality In his life was one of the factors that helped determine the character of the man.

A second quality of his life was the warmth or spiritual fervor that he  maintained. Many men of intellec-

Stual strength become cold and, not seldom, hard. Bro. Heckman auc- ceeded in the most difficult art of  exercising a discriminating Intelli-

I genre and maintaining at the same time a degree of spiritual fervor. Who of us have not sat in his class and listened to him unfold some  great spiritual truth while his heart  became warm his face became radiant. until It seemed his frail body could not contain the powerful emotion of his soul!

It is this combination of qualities that made him a great teacher of religion. Here we had the scholar and something of the evangelist combined. He saw Into the heart of things and he had passion that gave a glow to his words. This caused scores of students to flock to his

TELLS OF CLASS WORK UNDER BIBLE TEACHER

Student Speaks of Appreciation of Heckman an Professor

Writing from the viewpoint of a student. I believe that Professor J. Hugh Heckman was one of the greatest teachers I ever had. I enrolled the first semester this year In a course, "Life of Christ" under him; I didn't know what I was getting Into. However, when the second semester rolled around, I was eager to get in a class of his because I knew then what I was getting Into. His first semester course had been a real enjoyment and he presented Christ to us In a most realistic fashion. The few weeks that he was with us the last half of the year were happy ones and many students hold his memory as a teacher as a precious one.

In the classroom. Professor Heckman was as likeable a character as be was on the street, on the campus, or wherever one chanced to meet him. Always cheerful and smiling, It was a delight to be In his class. He never was angry with the students, but with a genuine human personality understood their weaknesses and shortcomings. A commendable feature In the minds of students was the fact that ha could call each student by name. His personal comment given after a recitation or written upon a paper often nerved aa a boost for the student.

Ha truly was a noble character who led a great Christian life, exemplifying the very highest type of n godly person. His presence la missed much by the studaau and there comes over one a feeling that no person can quite near fill his place on the college faculty.—Margaret Oil

Prof. Maurice A. Hess so affect him. He maintained a healthy many-sided Interest In life and was able to converse Intelligently with friends on many subjects. He seemed to love companionship. He did not confine his friendships to a few chosen associates. The circle of his friendships Included old turn, and woman, man In different social circles from his own. working man and woman, young people. I have seen man farthest removed from him in education or In social position seek his companionship In the most beau-tiful and natural way In his home or on the veranda. and they found there a kindly Interest in the things that concerned them. And yet he bad a wholesome reserve that did not admit everyone Into the holy of holies of his life unless ha had first proved his right to be so admitted. Bro. Heckman may ba longest remem-bered by many by the fine quality of his friendship.

There was a nobility is him life. A nobility In which there was the absence of all that is low. or base or mean, or petty or selfish. No one could bo In the presence of Bro. Workman and be little or base or mean. Not that he rebuked In words, but the very dignity and beauty of his life made littleness and pettiness seem an out of place as to make one ashamed In his presence. I doubt If there is a soul In this audience who has ever seen Bro. Heckman when be was not in calm possession of his life on a plane so high as to require no apology, or explanation.

If there is another quality, I would mention. It la the calm poise and courage with which he faced the hardest things life asks of any of us, and did it without murmuring or complaining. To suffer as he suffered. and to maintain thru It ail a beautiful victorious faith a calm poise. a radiance of countenance that becomes a source of Inspiration and help to others is a conquest more glorious. Surely he too "was made

trfect thru suffering".

The glory of that face was the revelation of a hope that there lay realms of undiscovered truth on ahead, that religious experience did not end here, that friendships more abiding and more satisfying lay In the future In a land free from the limitations of the flesh.

seas. His counsel was wise, his advice sound, and his conclusions de

pendable.

As a church leader, thinker, and writer, he ranked with the best. His loss In this field Is Irreparable. He believed In the social message of Christianity. He accepted the prin-ciples of humility and self-sacrifice as the Jesus way. He taught that religion Is a way of living. He demonstrated a triumphant faith and a victorious life.— Prof. J. A. Blair

EXEMPLIFIED IN OWN LIE WHAT HE TAUGHT

Lilburn Gottmann Gives His View of Heckman, the Friend and Teacher

The Quadrangle for 1931 was dedicated to Prof. Heckman It was a tribute to his beautiful spirit, his scholarship, and his personal roar-age. The student body recognised him as a friend. as well as a good teacher.

Prof. Heckman possessed a bal-anced. poised personality. He was conservative enough. and sane enough to guide the most radical senior in religions and philosophical thinking. He was progressive enough, and open-minded enough to be familiar with their Ideas, and their point of view. He was a constant friend to the freshmen who were troubled In their thinking about God and science or about the attitude of a few seniors. A personal experience of my own will illustrate that point. I was worried about some of the things the older students were thinking, and I personally could see no way around their thinking. He leaned hark In his chair with a twinkle In his eye and said. "Well, I have lived longer than they have, and have taken a great deal more college work than they have, and I don't think the way they do. I wouldn't worry about It If I were yon. It will clear up In time." And It did.

Professor Heckman was completely at home In the field of philosophy and religion. His underclass Bible classes were always large, and Interesting. Religion Itself assumed a more vital place In the lives of many of his students after being In his classes, He was a master at helping students grow, rather than giving them his own Ideas. One of his marked characteristics was his ability to use the students' own ideas summarizing and crystallizing the work of the hour.

The great flood of tributes from old friends and former students since his death are Indicative of the high esteem Id which he was held.

He was Just without being stern, tolerant but not weak, cheerful yet with a singular depth of seriousness to his personality. Ills life was a benediction to every student in his classes. He offered the cup of know-ledge, and a philosophy of life that he himself exemplified In every day of his own life.—Lilburn Gottmann.

Since 1920 Prof. J. Hugh Heckman wrote regularly for the "Brethren Teacher" Monthly". In every Issue he had a page called "The Lesson In Everyday Life". The following are quotations from some of his later writings:

There Is no Inner Joy comparable to the possession of an uncondemn-ing conscience.

Life holds such possibilities for grace, happiness and beauty of Individual holiness and social goodness that we ought not miss any of them.

There Is no place In Christian thought for careless and flippant living.

Death Is not to be counted as long as there remains useful work to do and strength to do It. But to the Christian death Is but a natural Incident which cannot eventually Interrupt a career which has set Us aspirations upon God and goodness.

No man is free whose soul Is laid under restraint so that his manhood withers and his nobility dies.

There is no haven of freedom where an Individual or group cap retire Into the Isolation of dutyless existence.

There In no peace except It be founded upon an Inner spiritual understanding.

Ignorance is a supreme obstacle to our progress.

The human heart has always been sensitive to the voice of God.

Only by the spiritual nature of man are we able to form a true Idea of the essential nature of God.

FRANTZ SAYS TEACHER GAVE LIFE FOR FRIENDS

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." How truly It ran ho said of Prof. Heckman that he gave his life for his friends. A man dogs not have to he n martyr to give his life for others. He needs merely to live his life with the motive of service at the foundation. Prof. Heckman offered his life for the needs of his fellowmen as truly ns any Christian martyr of the past. He said of himself that he always lived In the belief that "the truth of God and the human heart were made for each other." And he dedicated hls life to the task of bringing them together.

As a pastor Prof. Heckman was capable, efficient, and well-liked by all—the Colorado church which was his last pastorate remembered him In a most fitting memorial service soon after his death. As a Christian writer and author he was seldom equalled —Rufus Bowman said at his funeral that he was one of the best, if not tbe best, writer In the Church of the Brethren. As a teacher of religion there are scores of students and former students of McPherson College who will testify to his wonderful ability In this line. And there are other scores of graduates of Bethany Biblical Seminary who studied under him and went out bettered by his teaching and Influence.

Thus. as a Christian preacher, writer, and teacher. Prof. J. Hugh Heckman lived and taught others to live—a life of service.—Royal Frantz.

At last the seniors snuck! And what an unprofitable year It has been! No one was held back by for-

GIVEN IN COLLEGE CHURCH

About seventy-five people enjoyed the banquet Friday night when the Juniors entertained the seniors at 7:00 o'clock in the basement of the Brethren Church.

An Indian theme was carried throughout the decorations and pro gram. The guests entered through a tepee and came upon a scene of outdoor Indian life.

Every Year Outgoing Group Leaves Inspiration

SENIORS SNEAK AWAY TO SAUNA ON SUNDAY

Sleep at Oakdale Park—-Leave at Different Times to Fool Underclassmen

GO TO LAKE BENNINGTON

Spend Time Swimming and Hunting —Some Go to Minneapolis

The expected finally happened unexpectedly. At least. the seniors sneaked. They accomplished this Sunday afternoon and evening. May 21. They disguised their Intentions by leaving at different timed. The first car went about four o'clock and the last one didn’t leave until after midnight.

The seniors In a hilarious mood first went to Salina where they met at Oakdale park. While awaiting Vernon Rhoades’ car which contained the food, the rest of the dignified seniors played on the merry-go-round. the slipper-slide. and the swings, much to the dismay of the children present. Also some of them stood on the bunging bridge until their hunger gave them nausea. Finally Dusty came bringing hamburgers and Eskimo pies.

In the evening they went to the show, Rhoades and Larsen Jewing them down on the price to a quarter.! That evening they slept In the tourist park at Oakdale. At least they tried to sleep In spite of the barnyard chorus which followed.

By the next morning all of the seniors having arrived, they started for Lake Bennington. As they went through the town, they stopped to get food supplies. Melvin Landes decided to abduct some of the food for himself, so he started off down the road. He was overtaken after three track stars took after him.

When they arrived at the lake they went swimming and boating. Because of the wind one could go boating and swimming both at the same time. A slight redness os to personal appearance Is the telling factor on those who Indulged In this pastime.

An interesting bit of knowledge was obtained by the college girls during this trip. It seems a family was camping near the lake and one of the boys of the family came to breakfast late. When he was asked the reason for his tardiness he said had been patching his trousers. His mother replied that It was a good thing he was learning, because he might marry a college girl and she wouldn’t, know how. All this happened within hearing of the know-all seniors.

In spite of this rebuff the good lime continued. Some of the party drove on to Minneapolis to see some geological formations, while the rest came home.

The seniors assert that they had a much better time on their sneak than the Juniors did on theirs.

What romantic days at the dorm now. It's a wonder baby talk and

love ditties don't come flying out of the dining-room windows. It seems that Shank got to thinking about how only a few days were left In which be could be with his Marjorie, and how every moment apart was wasted. So being a resourceful young man be went to Mother Emmert and asked If he couldn't he seated by Marjorie at the dining table for the rest of the year. Mrs. Emmert wished lo please and still haled to he partial. So now all the couples are seated together at meals!

If the Juniors and seniors seem wont to greet you with "How” and talk about-the “heap big hot weather" you may know that the Junior-senior banquet was an Indian affair.

Lorene Morrison exhibited some badly chewed legs Monday night and announced that she had twenty-eight mosquito bites on both appendages.

The people who work at the cleaners thought Marlene Dappen was a little "off” Monday, when she came Into the shop and wanted a wool dress cleaned before 6:30. A wool dress on a bet spring evening! They didn’t know that It was a dress she had made in clothing In the winter time and had to have It for the exhibit yesterday and the 6:30 practice on Monday.

students from other classes

on either the junior or senior sneak. No car windows were broken; an one became angry: no one was made to walk back several miles; and no one was thrown info a slush pond. Everyone got away peaceably.

Imagine our joy and glee, then, upon hearing that someone had removed the carburetor cap from one of the cars during the Junior-senior banquet. The driver was unable to start his automobile for a few momenta.

The seniors contend that they had a better time on their sneak than the Juniors did. At least the after-effects were much more In evidence upon their shining sunburned countenanc-

However. If fatigue Is an Indication of a good time, we can't be Judges. All sneakers hare been unusually draggy.

If the home economics department had advertised that they would serve tea and sandwiches at their exhibit yesterday, they would probably have doubled their crowd—at lean as far as the students are concerned.

Everything was displayed in the style show from Juvenile dresses to gingham evening gowns. Some of the models made quite attractive mannequins. Maybe it was a result of their practicing at mannequinning the night before.

After looking at several rooms completely filled with work from the home economics classes we decided that the only reason the board considered taking out the department was that they decided the students had learned all there was to know.

The spectators were mostly feminine. We couldn’t see why for the men’s home economics class had a display—and the food was good.

Oh yeah. didn't the Junior* think they were somebody when they parked In the seniors' chapel seats, while the class of so-called dignity, were on their "sneak”.

More than one senior look* as If he were In perfect misery—maybe the sneaks aren't so much after all —huh? At least, maybe that’ll console the freshies and sophs.

Florence Dresher feared for any one to touch her: Milton Early looked pitifully III; "Dusty” Rhoades looked very much worn out; Charles Austin was ill in bed. — Sunburn! Senior sneak!

Every once in a while one hear* such a statement a* "Well, what’ll we do all summer without the college kids?" or "I wonder what I’ll do this summer at home all alone?"

MANY ENJOY EXHIBIT

Yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock over fifty viewed the style show and home economic* exhibit. Displays were made by the classes In clothing, foods, child welfare, dietetics, house-planning, costume design, and home economics for men.

Ten and sandwiches were served during the afternoon.

ELEVEN NEW MEMBERS TAKEN INTO “M" CLUB

Annual Initiation Held Last Evening at Sand Pits— Play Games

ELECT WIGGINS PRESIDENT

Pauls and Yoder Other Officers— Refreshments Served

Las evening eleven new members were taken Into the "M” Club, at the annual initiation which was held at the sand pit south east of the cam-pus. They were all warmly taken Into the club. Just two puddles were completely demolished during the evening's ceremony but most of the rest are to badly scorched for future use.

As a warm up feature, a bait game was held between two teams chosen by Rock and Coach Binford. Rock's team won 4 to 1 with Pauls starring for his team. Binford knocked the only home run In the game for his team’s counter.

The first event In the Initiation consisted In a group of boxing match-es between new members. Chet Johnston and Eddy put up a hard fight and according to the Judges. Replogle and Coach. It was a draw so each was duly punished. Pole and Fasnacht put on the gloves next but they were too easy on each other and this. also, was declared a draw. Custer and Tice put up a nice fight but according to the officials the match was too close to draw a decision. Jamison and Bowman both battled furiously. hoping to win by a knockout but their fight was declared a draw. Yoder had no partner to fight so one of the members of the club of several years ago, John Harnly, put on the gloves to get Yoder warmed up for the evening. Although this was a good fight, Yoder was declared the loser In order that be might receive his punishment for not winning a decision.

Sack races and horse races wore held next and all losers were punished. The mud ball race In which each contestant was required to roll a ball of mud with his nose was the feature of the evening. Anyone wondering how Bob Bowman got the skin off of the end of his none will know that he hit a stump In Ills efforts. All of the new members were then required to run a paddle gauntlet between the lags of the old members and Harold Reinecker scored the most hits with a perfect record of no misses and several good swats on some. A tug-of-war across a small creek ended quite damply for the Johnston brothers, Custer. Replogle, and Eddy. Of course this was followed by a swim.

By this time everyone was quite hungry: so a supper consisting of sandwiches, pickles, oranges, cookies, and Ice cream was soon put to good advantage.

A short business session was held and Leonard Wiggins, was elected president, of next year’s M Club; Walter Pauls, vice-president; and Wilbur Yoder, secretary-treasurer.

Following the supper, another game of pumpkin hall was held between the old and the new members. The old members proved to be superior though by winning seven to five.

The new members initiated Into the M Club were: Chester Johnston, who earned letters In football, basketball, and track; Eddy, and Bowman, football lettermen: Yoder, II. Johnston. Jamison. and Replogle, basketball lettermen; Pote. Fasnacht.

and Custer, track lettermen: and Tice, a tenets lettermen. Old members of the club who were present were: Rock. Wiggins, Pauls. Wine. Larsen. Williams. Kelly, Early.

Hayes. Harnly. Ralph Johnston, Coach Binford, and Dean Replogle:

LOYALTY IS SUBJECT

Mohler Speaks in Chapel of Essential to Living

"An Essential to Great Living” wax the subject of Dean R. E. Mohler's chapel talk last Friday.

He spoke of Darwin, Einstein, and Edison who seemed to do an Impossible number of things. There is one word which tells what is essential to great living that made It possible for those men to do what they did: loyalty.

There are certain things In life to which great souls have to he loyal to attain great heights. A great person must ho loyal to his own, home, his church. Ills community life, and his school.

HECKMAN BORN IN 1887

He was at the time of his death 4S years, 9 months and 6 days of age.

Thus there has come of the end of his earthly career a masterful teacher, a genial friend, a wise counselor, a good father, a loyal husband end last, but not least, a great Christian.

We watched him die Nay! Rather say.

We saw him enter Into life!

This brother of our common clay.

Who loved his friends and In full faith

Responded to the call of his best Friend

To learn the secret of eternal rest.

It Is the last of earth. The tact Is grief

Only to those who stay. Weep not for him

Whose great heart now is free.

AN ALUMNUS SPEAKS OF OUR PROFESSOR

Adelyn Taylor Says Influence of Spirit Will Remain

A Christlike man has been among us and although now he Is gone the influence of his bountiful steadfast spirit will remain.

He was and still Is. through our remembrance of him. one of the rocks on which Christ built His Kingdom. His courage against so great odds gave courage to others with similar burdens of pain and ill-health. His simple childlike faith Inspired others, who doubted, to a greater trust and belief In spiritual things.    

Our loss is great but It Is not without comfort and consolation for we. have our memory of his gallant life and our knowledge and faith that a spirit such as his cannot die.—Ade-lyn Taylor.

SPENDS YEAR IN HOME OF PROFESOR HECKMAN

After having spent a year In the Heckman home I was Impressed with the kindness and the cheerfulness of attitude of Professor J. Hugh Heckman. and his willingness to help others with their personal problems. These characteristics, plus the abundant knowledge which he possessed, gained for him the high place In which he was held by those with whom he came In contact.—Newel Wine.

PROFESSOR’S FAMILY IS DELUGED WITH LETTERS

His friendship was one of the chief or my friendship treasures . . . There. Is much cause for comfort and Joy In the nobility off J. Hugh’s life.”

C.-H. Shamburger. Elgin. III.

“His style of writing was as lucid as his public address. Over the years he has written n good many volumes In the “Lesson in Everyday Life”. It was to his credit that he could teach philosophy to critical students and at the same time write lesson helps for people who never had been to . college. I have heard many of them say on Sunday morning. ’This is the way Bro. Heckman explains
