Rev. Henry S. Hallman "was born August 5th, 1859, in Wilmot Township, Waterloo County, Ontario. He attended the New Dundee public school until old enough to give an assisting hand on the farm. When well up in his "teens" he left the farm and worked with the carpenters and builders. Realizing the necessity of a better education, he entered the Berlin High School and other places of education until he passed his examination for the teaching profession. After teaching two and one-half years in Bruce County he retired from the profession and moved to Berlin where he still resides. When quite a young man he was converted unto the Lord and soon thereafter he joined with the River Brethren denomination, of which body he was a member for some years. In 1879 he united with the Mennonite Brethren in Christ denomination of which body he is an active member. In 1881 he gave his life to the ministry for the last named body and has served the church of his choice faithfully up to the present. In October, 1888, the general conference held in Berlin, Ontario, had him appointed editor of the Gospel Banner,"
