Description
This is a photograph of " two Sister Catechists (Chinese Sisters founded by Bishop Ford) leaving with bicycles for the Hakka hills to sow the seed of Faith to the pagans. These Sister Chatechists work with the Marknoll Missioners 'without whom we would be like toiling without our left arm, espcially in dealing with women and children.' The Sister Catechists travel a greal deal, so that the bicycles save time and energy. And more work done too!"
