Description
"On the teachers depends not only the present, but the future success of our work. They are to be the teachers of young Kikuyu life in paths of righteousness
they are to be the evangelists to win their own people unto Christ, the pastors who will shepherd the young Church. Here is a photo of our Senior & junior teachers on whom so much depends. Much of the wonderful results we have seen in the last four years, are the outcome of the faithful steadfast lives of these older lads." Group portrait of the school teachers at Kikuyu. ❧ "This Lecture was prepared by Dr J.W. Arthur in October 1911 on his voyage to Mombasa. The set of slides is the gift to the Kikuyu Mission of the Young Peoples Meeting at the Burgh Hall, Hillhead, of which he was for many years a member." A green folder marked 'Kikuyu' and containing lecture notes and relevant photographs to accompany lantern slides.
