Description
Note: Sehr ähnliches Bild publiziert als Nr. 76 im Album 'Achtzig Ansichten von der Goldküste (Westafrika) nach Originalaufnahmen des Missionars Fritz Ramseyer', Neuenburg 1895. (PST). - Bildlegende im Album: "Synode des Tschidistrikts. - Wir sehen hier die Delegirten der Synode des Tschidistrikts, welche im Januar 1894 in Akropong tagten. Alle Tschistationen und Aussenstationen waren vertreten drei Tage lang wurde manche wichtige Angelegenheit berathen es waren gesegnete Tage. 11 Missionare, 10 eingeborne Pfarrer, 53 Catechisten, Lehrer und Gemeindeälteste waren anwesend. Das bild erinnert uns an das Gleichnis vom Senfkorn. Ja, auch auf der Goldküste hat sich der Herr verherrlicht und das Werk ist ein grosser Baum geworden, zum ewigen Segen für viele möge er bald seine Äste über ganz Asante ausbreiten." Note translation: Very similar photo published as no 76 in the album 'Achtzig Ansichten von der Goldküste (Westafrika) nach Originalaufnahmen des Missionars Fritz Ramseyer' (='Eighty pictures of the Goldcoast (West Africa) by the missionary Fritz Ramseyer'), Neuchâtel 1895. (PST). - Caption there: "Synod of the Twi District. We see here the delegates of the Synod of the Twi District which was held in Akropong in January 1894. All the mission stations and outstations were represented. The proceedings lasted for three days - they were blessed days. 11 missionaries, 10 indigenous pastors and 53 catechists, teachers and elders were present. The picture reminds us of the parable of the mustard seed. Yea, on the Gold Coast too the Lord has shown his glory and the work has become a large tree and a source of eternal blessing for many. May He soon spread its branches out over the whole of Asante."
