Produced by Al Haines
"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. Melvin as he faces challenges in his ministry, from confronting moral corruption in his community to promoting education and understanding across various denominations. Throughout the story, we witness his bold sermons that tackle cultural and spiritual issues, as well as the formation of a unique bond with a soldier, Leonard Devoau, who shares his experiences from the Russo-Japanese War. Devoau's insights on war and morality further the book's exploration of duty and humanity. Eventually, Mr. Melvin must grapple with his own retirement and pass the mantle of leadership to Devoau, who continues to expand the message of love and unity within the church, underscoring the impact of spirituality on societal challenges.
