HIS MISSION by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: TWAS NOT FOR GAIN OF GLITTERING GOLD HE TROD
Last Line: ON COLDER HEARTS TO COIN!
Subject(s): ALASKA; MISSIONS & MISSIONARIES;
'Twas not for gain of glittering gold he trod
Alaska's frozen loin;
Nay, but the superscription of their God
On colder hearts to coin!
