The work which this book tres to picture Is still going on, and the Reverend Walter Whatley Perrott is even now in Labrador and very much in active service, He is well on the way to 70 and still delights in visiting the lonely Settler homes.
Perhaps to-day he is on one of his hard rounds of visits to the scattered Hopedale people by dog-sledge—100 miles in the fiercest winter weather.
"You might see him plodding on snowshoes in front of the fogging dogs, or helping to guide his heavy sledge as it bumps down the beds of frozen brooks: for that matter, sleeping on the hard floor of some lonely hut and sub-isting' on the frozen food of those winter journeys.
The life of Walter Whatley Perrott and his wife is the love of God translated into love for those simple humble Eskimos. $4.50
