Excerpt from The Old Testament and Its Critics: The Introductory Lecture, Delivered on Tuesday, November 3rd, 1891 I do not know that there is anything of the nature of an outward event colsely related to our College to which I ought to turn your attention to-day, unless I refer to a loss which our Church and the whole Church has this year sustained by the death of Robert W.Barbour. It is not for me, on this occasion, to give a study of his character, and of his work, which it has pleased God to make so short, after having limited it by years of broken health, nor is it necessary, for he lives in the memory of multitudes who knew him in very different spheres of usefulness and stations of life. But he endeared himself wonderfully to every one in this Hall, three years ago, when he filled the place of Dr. Lindsay, who had been sent out by the Church as a deputy to India. I am persuaded that to mention this is enough, that by doing so I recall thoughts and feelings which I prefer to leave to make their own impression without the addition of any reflections of mine. I pass to other reflections which occur to me, in connection with the work to which I was called, I may very soon be able to say - that is, if am spared to the end of this session - thirty-five years ago.
