Summary: "Alter Ego: A Tale" by Rev. W. W. Walker is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of a Canadian church community, the book explores themes of social justice, religious ideals, and the complexities of human relationships. It delves into the life and teachings of Rev. Thomas Melvin, whose progressive views aim to unite a diverse congregation fraught with differing beliefs and languages. The narrative follows Rev.
