Excerpt from Baccalaureate Sermons Two reasons influence me in publishing these Baccalaureate Sermons. First and chiefly to meet the expressed wish of many of "my boys and girls" of several college generations. They are all over our great country from Maine to California and from Oregon to Florida, they are all over the world - in China, Japan, India, Egypt, Persia and other missionary fields, they are in goodly number "Somewhere in France" and with khaki-clad men in other lands. I have had and still have them in my heart and their desire has with me something of the force of a command. But a second reason is the hope that when my few years are ended I may still be preaching a little to those who may read the book. The sermons are given with scarcely any change, with the local and temporal coloring retained. I commenced work in Westminster College in 1884 and I am still with it in 1918. My successors in the office of the Presidency - Rev. Robert McWatty Russell, D.D., from 1906 to 1915, now of the Moody Bible School and Rev. Wm. Charles Wallace, D.D., the present incumbent have both shown me great courtesy and good will and have encouraged me to remain with the College. This I have been glad to do and to contribute however little to the prosperity and usefulness of the institution as a servant of Christ and His Church. Bivat, creseat, floreat, Westminster!
