Excerpt from Biographical Sketches and Review: First Presbyterian Church in Toronto and Knox Church, 1820-1890
N the multitude of changes taking place in a large congre gation, it is often true that the moulding and formative influences of the past are forgotten, because not condensed in a consecutive and permanent record. To prevent this=loss, and give a brief history of Knox Church, the following biographical sketches have been compiled. The materials are collected from many sources, and in a few years would be inaccessible for this purpose. This is especially true of the chief benefactor of the congregation at its formation, and of the early pastors. At the request of the Deacon's Court the sermon preached at the close of ten years' service, in April, 1890, is appended. Recognizing with humble gratitude the gracious guidance, of God in the past, and earnestly entreating His continued bless ings, this Review is respectfully presented to members and.
