A landmark of the Strathcona Library for many years, "The Prayer of Faith" seems to have vanished from the face of the earth. Where is it? The statue is out there, somebody knows...

The following is a description of the donation taken from the 1913 Annual report:

In the Entrance Hall, facing the loan desk, stands "The Prayer of Faith," a beautiful bronze statue by F. Fleming Baxter, presented to the Library by the sculptor as an expression of his interest and faith in this far western metropolis. It was previously exhibited at the International Exhibition, Graffton Galleries, London, England, in 1910. Through the interest of J.M. Douglas, M.P., and O. Bush, Esq., the customs charges were refunded, making it possible to obtain this valuable addition to the Library, free of duty. Mr. F. Fleming Baxter has exhibited several other notable pieces of sculpture, and is now at work on a memorial tablet to be placed in Guy's Hospital, London, England, in honor of Sir Samuel Wilks.
