| Summary |
"Extracts from a Journal of a Voyage of Visitation in the 'Hawk,' 1859" by Feild is a historical account penned in the mid-19th century. This insightful work documents the author's experiences and observations during a missionary voyage, highlighting the religious needs and conditions of the people residing in remote areas of Newfoundland and Labrador. Through this text, the reader gains a glimpse into the challenges faced by communities largely devoid of clergy and the efforts to provide spiritual support. The journal chronicles the bishop's visits to various settlements, where he conducts religious services including baptism and marriage ceremonies. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the stark realities of life in these isolated communities, marked by limited access to education and religious services. The author reflects on the joy and hardships of ministry, describing encounters with local families, their customs, and the simplicity of their lives. Overall, this account serves as both a historical document of religious outreach in Newfoundland and a poignant reminder of the spiritual yearning among its inhabitants.
