Dickson Foreword Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. Thus wrote the famous poet, Longfellow, towards the middle of the last century. But it has required the pen of the biographer to trace the footsteps of this great man of God—John Knox McEwen—in the service of his Lord and Master. This the author has done in his own heart-warming and inimitable style. The life story of this honored servant of Christ will bring an inner glow of sanctified admiration as you read what God has wrought through him. Footprints—of God’s unfailing care under every circumstance. Footprints—of the emancipating power of the Gospel of Christ. Footprints—of the Holy Spirit’s guidance in the establishing of New Testament churches at home and abroad. All—a signal honor to the memory of John Knox McEwen. “Whose faith follow,” Hebrews 13:7. W.
