Haygood - 00.2-PREFATORY

PREFATORY Decatur, GA., April 9, 1889. MY DEAR LUNDY:

You and many others of my students at Emory of the years 1876-1884 have often asked me to put into permanent form the thoughts concerning "The Man of Galilee" - "Jesus of Nazareth" - I brought before you when we were together at the old college in Oxford. In this little book I have had the boys in mind all the way through, as if they were before me in my lecture-room in "Seney Hall." Many times the very faces of the boys seemed to be about me as I have written, and I could almost hear them ask me questions as they used to do.

Scattered about the world now-not a few of them in distant mission fields-my heart follows them every one, and these pages, which would never have appeared but for them, bear them the assurance of an interest in them that can never die. Your friend, ATTICUS G. HAYGOOD The REV. LUNDY H. HARRIS, Professor in Emory College, Oxford, Ga.
