Mongsenyimti 15/7/1936. We left Chantongia under covered sky and reached Akoia after an hour, a small village which is almost completely christian. The church is such a horror that I photographed it both inside and out. The inside is a hall with benches and a reading desk instead of an altar. The most atrocious colour prints hang on the wall showing scenes of the Old Testament and with English inscriptions. The 'Battle of Jericho' might still be the most comprehensible one to the Aos. The beautiful morung of Akoia has naturally mostly fallen apart |
