Lectures at the Foreign Mission Seminary

Two highly interesting and instructive lectures have been given recently at the Foreign Mission Seminary by men of national reputation. The first was by Dr. Syng Man Rhee, a native Korean. Dr. Rhee embraced Christianity while a political prisoner several years ago, and has been spending some years in American schools preparing himself to labor as a missionary for his own countrymen. His lecture dealt with the characteristics of that interesting country, and the opportunities which it presents for missionary labor. The second lecture was given by Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute for colored people. Dr. Washington gave something of his experience in coming up from a state of slavery to the present influential position which he occupies in work for the Negro race. He emphasized strongly the need of an education which is practical in scope and will fit men and women for the performance of life's practical duties.
