Such fun as we do have on those occasions, laughing over the donkey riding, singing hymns or songs, if the places isolation permits, trailing along in twos or threes, and getting a considerable amount of exercise, which we need very much.

Also included in the International Mission Photography Archive. and When the President of the Republic invited all the students of the city to celebrate the National Holiday, on the day before, by a visit to his palace grounds, we suspended classes for half a day, and went in large numbers to wander through the beautiful old historic building, the lovely gardens, and crowded courts.
