Summary[edit]

Description
English:
Motihari Mission house, India, ca. 1906
Black and white lantern slide showing a brick mission house with a tiled roof in Motihari (in Bihar, northeast India). Motihari was the first mission station set up by the Regions Beyond Missionary Union (R.B.M.U) in India, and was opened in 1900. A male European missionary stands before the house in suit, bow-tie and pith helmet. Two Muslim men wearing turbans (possibly mission servant staff) stand guarding the gateway to the house. The original commentary to the slide reads: "The house we rented at Motihari in the spring of 1901 and in which Mr and Mrs Hick lived until they returned home on furlough." Mr and Mrs Hicks were George Hicks and his wife - in 1899, George Hicks was (with Alex Banks) one of the first missionaries from the East London Missionary Training Institute (which became Regions Beyond Missionary Union in 1900) to travel to Bihar. Mr and Mrs Hicks returned home on furlough in 1906, dating this slide to after that time. This slide comes from a collection created by missionaries from Regions Beyond Missionary Union, an interdenominational Protestant evangelical mission working in northeast India (Bihar and Orissa) and Nepal.
