Return of Rev. John Tallach to the Mission Field.—
The Rev. John Tallach, Mrs. Tallach, and family set sail for South Africa on the 9th June (D.V.). Mr. Tallach is accompanied by Mrs. Nicolson and her daughter Miss Jean Nicolson, M.A., the recently appointed teacher to Ingwenya. We wish them a safe voyage and land journey to their distant destination and our prayer for them all is that they may be in the safe keeping of Him who rules over land and sea. As reported by the Convener of the Foreign Mission Committee to the Synod Mr. Tallach did much to stir up an interest in our South African Mission in the interesting addresses he delivered to most of our congregations during his furlough.
