Description
Annotation translation: "Printed HB [Heidenbote] 1938/3. A three-hundred strong company of young men have been to fetch the chief and form a circle around him during the Festival, since no woman is allowed to see him. At this Festival people said 'Since Christ has been proclaimed in our country we no longer need to fear one another. Since Christ changed our hearts peace reigns our country." Annotation: "Cl. HB [Heidenbote] 1938(III). (Cf. No [K] 2752 b [E-30.86.021]). Die dreihundert- köpfige Jungmannschaft hat den Häuptling abgeholt und beim Fest einen Ring um ihn gebildet, da die Frauen den Häuptling nicht sehen dürfen. Bei diesem Missionsfest wurde ausgesprochen: 'Seit Christus in unserm Lande verkündigt wird, brauchen wir uns vor einander nicht mehr zu fürchten seit Christus unsere Herzen umgestülpt hat, haben wir Friede im Land."
