Scope and Content: Photo consists of four white men and two Inuit men.; Verso says: For four years these men have travelled about from Camp to Camp bringing the message of the Gospel of Christ to the people of the snows. During the past four years every village in that 100,000 square miles was reached and the message given. Your messengers endured many hardships. They faced storm and blizzard, were ill-clad and ill-fed, yet they went forward. The Christ who suffered on the cross for love of them and you called them and calls you to make HIS love known unto every creature. Is it too much to ask you to do? Let each one put that question to himself.
