ARRIVAL AT OKAK 



illustration of the old proverb, " Where there's a will, 

 there's a way " and that seems to be how difficulties 

 are overcome in Labrador. 



I admired the charming simplicity of our mission- 

 ary at Okak ; nothing seemed to daunt him, and he 

 evidently thought the work of making a foundation 

 a very small thing. 



" You will have to build a bridge over the brook 

 in the springtime," he said, "the path to the hospital 

 is too narrow " and there I was, face to face with 

 my first building problem, thinking to myself that 

 I must catch the Labrador courage and be ready 

 for whatever should come, and inwardly praying for 

 the spirit that dwelt in those first old missionaries 

 and that dwells in their followers to-day.
