The waters of the Pacific are tempered for a certain width
with a warm current flowing north from the tropics. The
temperature of Alaska is affected by it, and the result of its
genial influence is increased vegetation and civilization. But
for this life-giving stream Alaska would be as destitute and
uninhabitable as Labrador.
But for the enriching stream of Christian life the whole world would
now be a moral Labrador. (Text.)
