With the Harmony to Labrador Notes of a visit to the Moravian mission stations on the north-east coast of Labrador

A reverent visitor sets foot on Labrador’s rugged north‑east coast, where icy fjords and wind‑swept islands frame a string of tiny Moravian mission stations. From the bustling harbor of Hopedale to the remote outpost of Okak, he records daily rituals—Sunday communion, lively festivals, and the solemn moments of marriage and funeral that bind the scattered community.

The narrative moves through snow‑capped hills and frozen seas, introducing native helpers who guide the journey and sharing vivid sketches of Eskimo homes, sled‑dog teams, and the aurora that paints the night sky. With modest humor and sincere curiosity, the traveler offers outsiders a glimpse of a world shaped by harsh climate, steadfast faith, and the quiet resilience of its people.
