Book Description
Excerpt from A Methodist Missionary in Labrador In these days of strife and bloodshed it is good to be reminded that "peace hath her victories no less renowned than war," and it is inspiring to find that in the quest of the Kingdom of Heaven men show as much courage as in the conquest of the earth. We are looking about in this strenuous time for some moral equivalent of war to be the battleground of heroism in the future years. This modest volume, presented to us by the Rev. Arminius Young, reveals a field of endeavour where heroes are made and cowards are broken. Those who succeed endure hardships as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. Of the pioneers some still remain with us, such as John T. Newman and A. A. Holmes, of the Newfoundland Conference, and Selby Jefferson, now of the Hamilton Conference. This book will not only be of great interest on account of the information it gives of Labrador and the customs of its people, about which most of us know but little, but it will also be a spiritual tonic to all who read it. May its readers not be few. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
