For the sake of obtaining a Bible these young men trek for weeks with the missionary, invite their countrymen to listen to him preaching, form a choir with him, sleep with him in poverty-stricken huts, go through the deep waters, suffer hunger and thirst. When they get home they receive the book they desire, and also the pay for their work. Here Mrs Zürcher is giving copies of the new Testament to the young men as reward for their work. Today they are students in the Bible School in Bali Um einer Bibel willen gehen diese Jungen mit dem Missionar wochenlang auf Reisen, laden ein zur Heidenpredigt, bilden mit ihm einen Singchor, schlafen mit ihm in elenden Hütten, gehen durch tiefe Wasser, erleiden Hunger & Durst. Wenn sie dann heimkommen, bekommen sie das Buch & auch den Lohn für das, was sie gearbeitet haben. Hier gibt Frau Miss. Zürcher das Neue Testament den Jungen für ihre Arbeit. Heute sind sie in der Bibelschule in Bali
