Their home is ever open to the wanderer, and never a hungry soul has yet been turned away. It is the preacher's haven to this day, and has been so as far back as history tells. Besides father and mother there are several sons and daughters. The father — Immanuel Leask — is a quiet and humble man, whose fidelity to the little church would create a romance all its own. Without a cent of recompense he sweeps it; he makes the fires, providing the fuel; and often has he 43 A Sturdy Little Northland ...taken money from his own scanty purse to fill the lamps with oil. Many times was it the writer's privilege to stay the night in Immanu- el's home, and never did he stay in a home that was more hospitable. The preacher must have the best, and no pains were spared to make him comfortable. The bedroom was always nice and cosy, with a cheery little peat fire blazing on the hearth, and away down among the blankets there would be a wrapped-up heated brick diffusing its friendly warmth. Then in the morning, as we sat down to a royal breakfast of lamb chops, meal scones, and tea, Immanuel would say, ''Noo, sir, eat up an' give th' hoose a guid name." And that is the fine spirit that dominates all their dealings with the stranger.
