Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Prince Edward Island Priests: Who Have Labored or Are Laboring in the Sacred Ministry, Outside the Diocese of Charlottetown We have reason to love our island home. The spirit of God hovers over its dales and hills. Its men and women in general are people of sterling character. Faith in God is everywhere to be found; Christian hope is laid up in the bosoms of the many; charity is evidenced by the unstinted service rendered our Heavenly Father and the commendable willingness to help a needy neighbor. In doing honor to the place of my birth, it is not my intention to depict its natural beauties or try to develop in its residents an anchoring love for its forests, its fields and its streams. Neither is it my purpose to foster the hope that in the near future, this Garden of the Gulf will become a far-famed commercial center, with its factories covering many acres of ground and its finished exports each year aggregating millions of dollars. I do not aim to hasten the day when there shall be continued communication with the mainland - when through the building of a tunnel a daily market will be assured and the intelligent husbandman will get proper returns for his labors at every season of the year. We all wish to see the inhabitants of our native isle prosperous. We desire the fisherman, the farmer and the horticulturist to take his place among the most progressive of his class. Without energy and ambition brains are of little account. There must be forcefulness of character behind native intelligence in order to reach a prominent place in any walk of life. We cannot boast of great achievements in a commercial way. We are not able to point out to the stranger luxurious homes and large institutions; nevertheless we love our country dearly and are proud of its people.
