called in the same capacity to Tübingen, where he remained until his death. In theology he was an adherent of the school of Ritschl. He wrote, besides many minor contributions, Die Kirchlichkeit der sogenannten kirchlichen Theologie (Freiburg, 1890); and Abschiedapredigten (Tübingen, 1901).

GOUCHER, gau'cher, JOHN FRANKLIN: Methodist Episcopalian; b. at Waynesboro, Pa., June 7, 1845. He was educated at Dickinson College (B.A.,1868) and entered the ministry of his denomination in 1869, holding successive pastorates in the Baltimore circuit (1869-72), Catonsville, Md. (1872-1875), Huntingdon Ave., Baltimore (1875-78), Harlem Park, Baltimore (1878-81), Strawbridge, Baltimore (1881,82), and City Station, Baltimore (1882-90). Since 1890 he has been president of The Woman's College, Baltimore, Md. He projected the Princess Anne Training School and the Anglo-Japanese College, Tokyo, and founded the West China Mission and the Korean Mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church. At the appointment of the Board of Missions of his denomination, he inspected the Methodist Episcopal missions in Italy (1886), Meldco (1892), and India (1897-98), and took an active part in founding and supporting primary and secondary vernacular schools in the latter country. He was a delegate to several general conferences of his church, and is president of the American Methodist Historical Society.

GOUDIMEL, gil"di"mel', CLAUDE: Church musician; b. at Besancon or Vaison near Avignon, c. 1505; killed at Lyons, in the massacre of St. Bartholomew, Aug. 24, 1572. He was attracted to Rome, which at that time was the center of musical life, and in 1534 was a singer in the papal chapel. In 1540 he founded a school for music. His music formed an essential factor in the development of the classical style of Roman Catholic church music. For unknown reasons Goudimel went to Paris before 1549. It is uncertain at what time he embraced Protestantism, but he must have been a member of the Reformed Church when his first compilation of the complete Psalter appeared in 1564. By his majestically clear harmonization of the melodies to the translations of the Psalms by Marot and Beza, Goudimel has largely influenced Protestant church music, where they were only in part replaced, even in the Reformed churches of Germany and German Switzerland, by the tunes of the Basel cantor, Samuel Marschall.
