Description
"Taufe in Madschame. Vorn Senior Raum" ("Baptism in Machame. In the foreground Senior Raum"). Raum who is wearing a robe leading a procession of persons dressed in white up the hill towards the church building. Other persons, including one other European person, waiting outside the church. The men wearing hats. Church built from stone with corrugated iron roof. Johannes Raum (1874-1936), from Eschenbach in Franconia, was ordained and sent to British East Africa by the Leipzig Mission in 1895. Due to health reasons, he changed to the Chaga mission where he served in Machame from 1897 to 1899, in Schira in 1899, in Moshi from 1900 to 1908, where he was also in charge of the teacher training seminary from 1902 to 1908, and in Mamba from 1909 to 1912. From 1912, he served as Deputy Senior and headed the teaching assistant's seminary in Marangu. He remained in Marangu during the First World War, but was repatriated by the Allies in 1920. During his home leave from 1908 to 1909, he compiled a grammar of the Moshi variant of the Chaga language. -- Wilhelm Guth (1888-1980), from Zeiskam in the Rhineland Palatinate, studied commerce before joining the Leipzig Mission as a pastor. He served in Gonja (southern Pare) from 1913 to 1917 and from 1927 to 1938. He left a large number of photographs, mostly taken by himself but including some by members of his family or fellow missionaries.
