THE author of this book has been requested many times, by friends both in England and abroad, during the past twenty years to write a history of his missionary experiences; but whilst actively engaged in the work the necessary time for such an undertaking did not present itself; now, however, having been incapacitated by throat affection, rheumatism, and sundry other ailments from active service in the field, he has decided, by God's help, to write an autobiography, with the prayer that it may lead others, who feel called by the Spirit to serve the Master in the foreign field, to the realisation of their soul's desire!
Unfortunately, the author has left all his notes and records behind him in the land of his experiences, therefore, if any discrepancies appear in his book, he will be very pleased to have his attention drawn to them.
In conclusion, I desire to express my thanks to certain photographers in the city of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and others for many of the photographs used in this book.
