My Dear Lundy:

You and many others of my students at Emory of the years 1876–1884 haveoften asked me to put into permanent form the thoughts concerning “TheMan of Galilee”—“Jesus of Nazareth”—I brought before you when we weretogether at the old college in Oxford. In this little book I have hadthe boys in mind all the way through, as if they were before me in mylecture-room in “Seney Hall.” Many times the very faces of the boysseemed to be about me as I have written, and I could almost hear themask me questions as they used to do.

Scattered about the world now—not a few of them in distant missionfields—my heart follows them every one, and these pages, which wouldnever have appeared but for them, bear them the assurance of aninterest in them that can never die.

Your friend,

Atticus G. Haygood.

The Rev. Lundy H. Harris,

Professor in Emory College, Oxford, Ga.
