George Davis is very much esteemed and admired by all of his associates. He has a human as well as a devout side to his nature and this is very evident when we recognize his attentions to Miss Eleanore Browne. His spirituality, however, far outweighs his human tendencies and when he receives the call as missionary to the Saskatchewan country, he lays aside all other interests and is obedient to "the still small voice." He takes up his duties among the Esquimaux and the Indians and soon wins them by his kindness. George Davis gets a letter from Eleanore Browne's father in which he expresses the inadvisability of his daughter marrying a man who is so far removed from civilization and make her home in such a god-forsaken place. At once visions of his affianced wife appears and recollections of their happy associations come before him. He will leave on the morrow and claim her; it is a struggle with him between his love of the people, who are so dependent upon him, and his love for Eleanore Browne. But conscience prevails and although he has already started on his homeward journey, he retraces his steps to the lonely cabin which has served as a sheltering arm to the inhabitants of his boundless parish. Falling upon his knees, he asks strength from God to continue steadfast in his charge and the glorification of the Lord, committing himself unto his service among the people to whom he has been sent and with whom he determines to live and die for his Master's sake.
