Description
"Les petites alouettes de la brousse sont tres vite acclimatees a l'atmosphere de la voliere car l'apprivoisement, c'est Jesus le grand charmeur des ames qui s'en charge.. Tout en executant de vraies merveilles, les petites dentelleres chantent les louanges du Seigneur et s'arment pour les luttes de la vie!" An inset cartouche shows a number of young women wearing white dresses, all working at needlepoint within a large, white-walled room.
The back of the postcard is closely covered with handwriting.
