LECTURE ON DR.. GRENFELL'S WORK

The Rev. J. II. Taylor, pastor of the
Central Presbyterian church of Wash
ington, delivered a very interesting lee
ture at the Presbyterian chapel Mon
day night, on the work of Dr. Gren-
fell in the Labrador.
MIR. Taylor spent last summer with
DIR. Grenfell in the Labrador and took
many views there. His lecture was H.
lustrated, Mr.. Rosebro furnishing and
operating his excellent lantern. The
supply of oxygen gas gave out unex-
pectedly and therefore the greater part
OF the pictures could not be shown.
This was disappointment to the audi
ence, as the pictures were uncommonly
beautiful and of an unusual order. Mr..
Taylor is an interesting speaker and his
talk was much enjoyed.
The lecture was given under auspices
Of the Young Ladies' Missionary So
ciety, who were much distressed at the
unavoidable failure to show all the pic
lures, and announcement was made
that the audience could secure their
tickets at the door as they left and
their money would either be returned
or the lecture repeated at future time.
