Grenfell of Labrador

---

The age of romance in Missions is by no means passing away. Heroes on the field are as numerous to-day, if not more so, than at any period since the dawn of the missionary enterprise over a century ago. To this company Dr. Grenfell of Labrador belongs, to whose unremitting and unwearying labours is due the marvellous work established in that wild and desolate region under the aegis of the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen. The narrative of this effort to raise humanity almost reads like a romance taken from the pages of modern fiction. At every point in a remarkable life-story relating to the up¬ lifting of a lost and degraded people, the Doctor makes very strong claim upon the admiration of his fellow men. He is unquestionably the embodiment of a type of heroic manhood at once courageous, resourceful, vigilant, pitying, for the sake of the human wreckage on Labrador’s rugged shores. What wonder that he is altogether regarded as the greatest man who has hitherto appeared in Labrador.
