 the mission are at St. John's, Newfoundland, 

 in the King George the Fifth Seamen's In- 

 stitute. This institute is one of the greatest 

 blessings to all the seafaring men who ply 

 along the Labrador coast. The chief hospi- 

 tal is at St. Anthony in the northern part of 

 the island of Newfoundland. Here are seven 

 wards, a bacteriological and pathological lab-

 and-machine-shop, a pottery-kiln, and a room 

 for spinning and weaving. There is also a 

 mission school and a guest-h6use for volunteer
