"Tabase. Nach der Kirche (ich hielt den Apparat an Oberschenkel, daher Aufblick der Kinder)" ("Tabase. After the church service (I held the apparatus on the thigh, hence the children are looking up)"). Four young girls wearing light coloured dresses standing in two pairs. Each pair is embracing each other. Behind them a crowd of other people, mainly women. Paul Albert Theile, born in 1908 in Niesky (Germany), was a theologian and preacher. He was no missionary in Africa, but went on an educational journey to East Africa in 1933 and to South Africa in 1934. He was a mission deputy in Montmirail (France) from 1934 till 1938. In 1948 he married Susette Schmidt. After 1962 he was director of the Moravian Church in Switzerland. He died in 1995 in Birsfelden (near Basel / Switzerland).
