Excerpt from Soul-Winning: A Course of Four Lectures Delivered Under the Auspices of the Theological Union of Victoria University, Cobourg, February, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th, 1883, Entitled Respectively 'Student, ' 'Preacher, ' 'Pastor, ' and 'Soul-Winner'

It is scarcely necessary for me to say that those mountain peaks form part of the great Laurentian chain, which runs across the entire country from the Ottawa river to Belle Isle Straits. That wild, broken region, so interesting to the geologist, the naturalist, and the lover of the picturesque, has been called the back bone of Eastern Canada. Not a good farming region, by the way. Rather too cold and bony for that. There are occasional flats and stretches, how ever, which are exceedingly rich in depth and quality of soil, and which make the men who are so fortunate as to settle upon them, but which are too occasional to give an agricultural character to the district. Rocks are there, immense masses of huge boulders, precipices are there, some of them sinking sheer down scores of feet, - lakes are there, of unknown depth and exquisite beauty, placid, pellucid, abounding with fish, - immense swells and conical-shaped hills and in the interior of the district, mountains majestically tower, clothed to the summit with primitive forest, and there roam at pleasure the bear, the raccoon, the lynx, and other animals common to a Canadian wil derness.
