Excerpt from Systematic Homiletics

For thirty-four years the Rev. J.J.A. Proudfoot, D. D., lectured on Homiletics in Knox College, Toronto, influencing the minds and hearts and molding the habits of the many hundreds who were privileged to receive instruction from him, as a preparation for the ministry of the Word. He was frequently requested to put his lectures into permanent form, and thus enlarge the circle of their influence.

When he retired, three years ago, from the Chair which he had so faithfully and efficiently filled, it was his purpose to prepare his lectures for publication, in fulfilment of the promise so frequently made. But ill health compelled postponement, until, when the end came and he was called home, the task was unperformed.

We were requested to undertake and complete the necessary work, the one having been for ten years his associate examiner in the College, and the other being the pastor of the family.
