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.
