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. , Jas. 0. Reavis. Nashville. Tenn. ALABAMA.
