Doctor Luke of the Labrador

However bleak the Labrador--however naked and desolate that shore--flowers bloom upon it. However bitter the despoiling sea--however cold and rude and merciless--the gentler virtues flourish in the hearts of the folk.... And the glory of the coast--and the glory of the whole world--is mother-love: which began in the beginning and has continued unchanged to this present time--the conspicuous beauty of the fabric of life: the great constant of the problem.
