Missionaries Depart for South Africa

C. L. BOWEN, with his wife and two children, sailed last week Thursday on the "Cedric," from New York, for their field in South Africa, after spending two years at the Foreign Mission Seminary in preparation. They have been appointed by the South African Union Conference to locate in Southeastern Rhodesia, assisting Elder M. C. Sturdevant in his new mission at Tsungwesi. The past few months have been spent in Western New York among relatives, this being their former home. Miss Lavinia Leisching also accompanies them, returning to her home in South Africa, after spending some time at South Lancaster Academy. Although not under appointment to mission work now, later she may enter some South African mission field.
