GRENFELL DRAWS
BIG Audiences
In Two Lectures He Tells Of
His Work Along the
Labrador Coast.
FIVE HOSPITALS STARTED
Scarcity Of Food and Medicines for
Years Caused High Death
Rate Among People.

Both times that DR.. wilfred T. Gren-
1eu, best man at the Sayre-Wilson we'd
ding, took the platform in Washington
churches yesterday to lecture on his work
IN the near-arctic he found himself con-
Ironted with capacity audiences" DR..
Srenfell. who has spent more than fifteen
years among the people Of Labrador, lee
tured in the afternoon at the Church of
the Covenant and in the evening at Mount
Pleasant Congregational Church, Colum-
pia road, near Fourteenth street The
latter address was Illustrated with stere-
opticon views of Labrador, showing the
customs and habits of the natives and
the visiting fishermen, who make up a
large part of the population during the
fishing season.
That the great isolated tract of the
American continent lying between Alaska
and Labrador will some day in the near
future become of great value as a pre-
serve for animals to maintain the meat
supply of warmer zones was one of the
many interesting declarations made by
DR.. Grenfell during his lecture.
People Were Very Poor.
Some twenty years ago there sailed
from England a stanch little mission ship.
the ketch Albert, whose destination was
Labrador" said DR.. Grenfell. when we
reached there We found 5000 permanent
residents and the summer fishing fleet
from Newfoundland. These people were
very poor and were dependent to a large
extent upon a commissary system that
had kept them impoverished for genera
tons
DR.. Grenfell told of how badly the
people of the country were in need of
doctors and the necessaries of life at
the time of his landing. AS an illustra-
ton OF the need of medical attention
the speaker told the following story:
'One man, the father of a family, came
aboard Hmping on one hand and one
foot. He had been getting about among
his traps, a distance of about ten miles,
in this manner for twenty years. Dur
ing all that time he was suffering from
a dislocated hip, which any ordinary
physician in civilized communities prob
ably could have remedied in a short
time"
DIR. Grenfen told how for years the
lack of milk for infants and the scarcity
of foods and medicines and accommo-
dations caused a high death rate among
the people of the country. He told Of
the raising of reindeer by the mission,
and declared that at present there are
more than 1000 of these deer within
reach of the mission authorities.
Five Hospitals on. Coast.
Al pESStIl, AIN Hdppy " say, lHeTe
are five hospitals along the coast of
Labrador, about 200 miles apart" he de-
clared. There is a sailors institute,
over which float the flags of both Great
Britain and the United States. The work
is growing, and, thanks to the help 1
have received from God, the outside
world and my colleagues in the country,
conditions are daily being bettered."
Henry B. F. Macfarland, president of

its purpose the furtherance of the mis-
sion work started by DIR. Grenfell in
troduced the speaker at each of the lee
lures.
