An eclectic collection of stories, reminiscences, and musings of Rev. Philip Toque, an Anglican minister from Newfoundland edited by the minister's daughter Annie. Topics included range from religion and Christian life to the press and personal debt. References to Newfoundland are plentiful throughout the book, and several chapters are devoted entirely to the province. Toque considers Newfoundland an ideal place to use as a health spa, and goes to great lengths to describe it as such to readers (p. 108-125). Other subjects include the fishery, mining, and agriculture.
