MISSIONARY ITINERARIES.
Itineraries for the Foreign Missionaries
at home on furlough are being made
out for the fall work. Presbyteries,
Missionary ^nions, and churches desiring
a visit should notify the Executive
Committee promptly. There are only a
few missionaries at home at this time.
The itineraries are being carefu.?y planned
with the hope of furnishing a missionary
speaker wherever desired.
When itineraries are arranged here in
the office the traveling expenses of the
missionary are borne by the Executive
Committee.
The Committee desires to send missionaries
to the small churches that
have not had the nrivilesre of a mission
ary visit. If such churches will notify
the Committee an effort will be made to
so arrange the itineraries to secure a
visit at the earliest possible date.
