Dr. Thomason Arrives in South Africa
THE June number of the South African Missionary, published at Cape Town by the South African Union Conference, contained the following paragraph announcing the arrival of Dr. George Thomason:— A few months ago we were made happy by the receipt of news from the Mission Board that Dr. Thomason had been recommended to the South African field. The doctor then went to Great Britain, where, after studying a few weeks, he successfully passed all the examinations, and received the necessary degrees, which give him the authority to practise anywhere in the empire. Last Tuesday, the 14th inst., the doctor and his wife and child arrived at the Cape by the “Kenilworth Castle.” The Missionary voices the sentiments of all its readers in extending to them a hearty welcome to South Africa. May the blessing of the Lord be with them as they begin to build again the “old waste places,” and repair the breaches in the medical missionary work in South Africa.
