DR.. Wilfred T. Grenfell who is in charge
OF the mission and hospital work among
the deep sea fishers of the coast Of Labra-
dor. gave an interesting illustrated lecture
on the work In st. Georges Church, Stuy-
veeant Square last night.
DR. Grenfel has been for the last twelve
years preaching the Gospel and caring for
the sick on board specially fitted vessels
that have orlised among the trawers.
Two of these vessels were lost in the Toe
and the present one is inadequate to the
demands, 40 he is now working to get
a larger hospital ship.
By means OF stereopticon views he showed
the life OF the fishers OF men among the
fishers Of fishes, beginning with pictures
of the tiny craft as they started for the
banks in the early spring and carrying
his audience through fishing season,
telling Of wrecks and loss OF life and OF the
dangers that threatened on every hand.
The results Of his years OF work. he said,
had been gratifying The Gospel was
brought TO the very doors OF the fishermen
far away from their homes, and medical aid.
