This is an extensive work on hobos in Canada and the work of the Rev. Andrew Roddan and First United Church of Vancouver, B.C.,"The Church of the Open Door," to minister to their needs.

In Depression-era Vancouver the best known radical religious figure was undoubtedly the Reverend Andrew Roddan of First United Church, whose work with the unemployed earned him the title, ¿Apostle to the Poor.¿ Roddan is best known for "God in the Jungles", a book documenting the ¿flesh and blood¿ stories of the homeless men who built several makeshift settlements ¿ known as ¿ jungles¿ ¿ in Vancouver. Appearing in December 1931 and selling more than 2,000 copies in its first month, "God in the Jungles" came to occupy a special place in the public memory as the authoritative account of transient life on Canada¿s west coast.
