Thus and all the time, in storm and sunshine, summer and winter weather, Grenfell of the Deep-sea Mission goes about doing good; if it’s not in a boat, it’s in a dog-sled. He is what he likes to call “a Christian man.” But he is also a hero—at once the bravest and the most beneficently useful man I know. If he regrets his isolation, if the hardship of the life sometimes oppresses him, no man knows it. He does much, but there is much more to do. If the good people of the world would but give a little more of what they have so abundantly—and if they could but know the need, they would surely do that—joy might be multiplied on that coast; nor would any man be wronged by misguided charity.
“What a man does for the love of God,” the doctor once said, “he does differently.”

Doctor Luke of The Labrador
BY NORMAN DUNCAN
“Mr. Duncan is deserving of much praise for this, his first novel.... In his descriptive passages Mr. Duncan is sincere to the smallest detail. His characters are painted in with bold, wide strokes.... Unlike most first novels, ‘Doctor Luke’ waxes stronger as it progresses.”—N. Y. Evening Post.
James MacArthur, of Harper’s Weekly, says: “I am delighted with ‘Doctor Luke.’ So fine and noble a work deserves great success.”
“A masterpiece of sentiment and humorous characterization. Nothing more individual, and in its own way more powerful, has been done in American fiction.... The story is a work of art.”—The Congregationalist.
Joseph B. Gilder, of The Critic, says: “I look to see it take its place promptly among the best selling books of the season.”
