KOREA.
Rev. and Mrs. L. B. Tate, left Chunju,
Korea, for the United States about June
1. Their address for the summer will
be Hickory, N. C. They will attend the
Montreat Missionary Conference. In a
recent letter from Mr. Tate, we have the
following-encouraging news for which the
whole Church should be grateful: "I have
just spent twenty-seven days among a
part of my churche3, trying to make
some arrangements by which they could
have some oversight while I am in America.
My field is twenty-five miles wide
and ninety-five miles long. In it there
are some forty churches with many meeting
places. In 1901 when I took charge
of this field there were only two meeting
places with only one communicant. Now
there hre 1203 communicants aud 600
catechumens. Also there are in this field
y
E PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SOUT
eight students for the ministry, two ot
whom finish their studies this year. I
will be sending to Presbytery a call for
both of these men." It is worth while
to attend the Montreat Conference just
to meet the missionaries, who will represent
six of the seven foreign countries
in which our Church is conducting her
foreign missionary work. Facts like the
above are a slight foretaste of the good
things in store for those who meet and
ueur me missionaries at Montreat this
summer. ,
