Grenfell of Labrador (Classic Reprint) by James Johnston Pdf

Excerpt from Grenfell of Labrador I have much pleasure in acceding to the Author's request that I should write a few lines by way of preface to his Life of Dr. Grenfell. It is twenty years since Dr. Grenfell was appointed Superintendent of the work being carried on by the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen in the North Sea and elsewhere round the shores of the British Isles, and from the day he gave himself to the cause of the fishermen his life may be said to have been one long, ceaseless effort to uplift and help the men whose lot he has made his own, and whose perils and hardships he has ever since been sharing. The Labrador Branch of the Society's work now claims Dr. Grenfell's undivided attention, and from June to November he is engaged in cruising about in the little hospital steamer "Strathcona" between the Straits of Belle Isle and Cape Chidley for the purpose of carrying healing and comfort to the dwellers upon those inhospitable, ice-bound shores. In winter he prosecutes the same kind of work with komatik and dog teams. It is the great love he bears these brave men of the North, and his large-hearted sympathy with the stress and hardship of their lives, which leads him to endure for their sake what to most men, reared under similar circumstances, would prove an altogether insupportable existence.

A Labrador Doctor by Wilfred Thomason Grenfell Pdf

Excerpt from A Labrador Doctor: The Autobiography of Wilfred Thomason Grenfell I have long been resisting the strong pressure from friends that would force me to risk having to live along side my own autobiography. It seems still an open ques tion whether it is advisable, or even whether it is right seeing that it calls for confessions. In the eyes of God the only alternative is a book of lies. Moreover, sitting down to write one's own life story has always loomed up before my imagination as an admission that one was passing the post which marks the last lap; and though it was a justly celebrated physician who told us that we might profitably crawl upon the shelf at half a century, that added no attraction for me to the effort, when I passed that goal. Thirty-two years spent in work for deep-sea fishermen, twenty-seven of which years have been passed in Labra dor and northern Newfoundland, have-necessarily given me some experiences which may be helpful to others. I feel that this alone justifies the writing of this story. To the many helpers who have cooperated with me at one time or another throughout these years, I owe a debt of gratitude which will never be forgotten, though it has been impossible to mention each one by name. Without them this work could never have been. To my wife, who was willing to leave all the best the civilized world can offer to share my life on this lonely a coast, I want to dedicate this book. Truth forces me to own that it would never have come into being without her, and her greater share in the work of its production declares her courage to face the consequences.

With Grenfell on the Labrador (Classic Reprint) by Fullerton L. Waldo Pdf

Excerpt from With Grenfell on the Labrador It has been great having you on board for a. Time. I wish you could stay and see some other sections of the work. When you joined us I hesitated at first, thinking perhaps it would be better to show you the poorer parts of our country, and not the better off - but decided to let you drop in and drop out again of the ordinary routine, and not bother to show you sights.' Still I am sorry that you did not see some other sections of the people. There is to me in life always an infinite satisfaction in accomplishing anything. I don't care so much what it is. But if it has involved real anxiety, especially as to the possibility of success, it always returns to me a prize worth while.

Labrador by W. G. Gosling Pdf

Excerpt from Labrador: Its Discovery, Exploration, and Development My design has been to preserve the knowledge of the incidents which took place in the past, and which are likely to have some value in the development of the country in the future. That may tend to the protection and amelioration of the native races of Indians and Eskimos, to the betterment of the comparatively few white settlers, to the development and conservation of its marvellous fisheries, the framing of proper laws for the governance of the thousands of Newfoundland, Canadian, and American fishermen who frequent its coasts, to excite an interest in this neglected country, and to assist Dr. Grenfell, who has been working for these same ends for the past sixteen years with a single minded devotion which excludes all other interests.

Tales of the Labrador by Wilfred Thomason Grenfell,Wilfred Thomason Grenfell, Sir Pdf

Dr. Grenfell's work among the Labrador fishermen is one of the stories of the generation. The courage and unselfishness of this self-devoted missionary have quickened pulses and stirred spirits the world over. His life is his most thrilling tale. But he has also written stories of his experiences which have been published in a volume called Tales of the Labrador. These stories picture the lives of simple, hardy fishermen and their Esquimo neighbors, their hard fight with an always hostile nature, and the traits of sturdiness, honesty and self-sacrifice which their stern life develops. As a picture of life in a little-known part of the world the book is interesting; as it reveals the author's lore for and loyalty to the people, it commands sympathy. It lacks the deep insight essential to great literature. Neither in style nor language does it denote the writer of mark. It is, however, so very readable and human that it cannot fail to find a hearty welcome among Dr. Grenfell's many admirers. -The Survey, Vol. 37 [1917]

A Labrador Doctor the Autobiography of Wilfred Thomason Grenfell by Wilfred Thomason Grenfell Pdf

A Labrador Doctor The Autobiography of Wilfred Thomason Grenfell by Wilfred Thomason Grenfell To be born on the 28th of February is not altogether without its compensations. It affords a subject of conversation when you are asked to put your name in birthday books. It is evident that many people suppose it to be almost an intrusion to appear on that day. However, it was perfectly satisfactory to me so long as it was not the 29th. As a boy, that was all for which I cared. Still, I used at times to be oppressed by the danger, so narrowly missed, of growing up with undue deliberation.
