Excerpt from David W. Forrest: Memoir, Tributes, Sermons and Theological Lectures Nether the Sermons nor the Theological Lectures, which together constitute the major part of this volume, were prepared for publication by their author. Hence the manuscripts have required somewhat careful revision. The editorial function has, however, been exercised within very strict limits, and with the single desire of securing such a version of Dr. Forrest's work as he would have himself approved. It is not claimed that the Sermons now published are notably superior to the average of Dr. Forrest's pulpit discourse, but only that they illustrate with some completeness the substance and manner of his preaching. They are, with one or two exceptions, sermons which he was accustomed to deliver as he went about among the churches during his later years. They are but a few out of many that seemed of nearly equal value, and in choosing them I have been guided a good deal by the judgment of discerning friends who either read them in manuscript or had heard them spoken. For help in this matter, as well as in some other ways, I am indebted especially to Miss Forrest, to the late Rev. George Rae, M.A., and to the Rev. W. H. Macfarlane, who has also read the proofs. In revising the Theological Lectures, I have had the advantage of referring for counsel on several points to the Rev. Professor A. C. Welch, D.D.
