\"Sir<\/a>Forty Years For Labrador<\/em> is an expanded and updated version of Wilfred Grenfell’s earlier autobiography A Labrador Doctor<\/em>.<\/p>\n

There can be few missionaries who have received both a knighthood and are remembered in the liturgy on the Episcopal Church of America by a feast day (Oct. 9th) in recognition of their work. For this reason, I have decided to digitise and upload Redcliffe College’s extensive collection of books by and about this notable missionary to Labrador during October.<\/p>\n

My thanks to Redcliffe College<\/a> for providing me with a copy of this book to scan. This title is now in the Public Domain.<\/p>\n

    I must admit to forty years at the helm: 1932-1892 =40. Mathematics is the one and only science which can prove anything. To-day I like to hear that some philosophers are courageous enough to question even that. But even accepting the hypothesis, what of it? Why not regard to-day as the commencement of my second forty years?<\/p>\n

    Fifteen years have elapsed since A Labrador Doctor<\/em> was written. As I looked through the index, I was amazed to notice how many friends mentioned in it are among the so-called ‘dead.’ A photograph suggested to me to-day how like the colour of my own hair has become to that of its winter environment; and for the last four years there have been increasing signs of wear in the faithful old pump. Truly, it is time which stays. It is we who fly. [Continue reading<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
