Minister's Library

Recently I blogged about a minister I visited on the atoll of Maiana. I posted a picture of the manse -- a traditional structure on stilts. Here I turned my camera upwards to the eaves -- and his library. The library is made up of standard reference works, and lecture notes from college. But many ministers in the central Pacific do not have this much. Some have no reference works at all. OBSERVATION: I love those old huts. The skill with which they are built, their elegant proportions, their strength, their functionality, the smell of the materials. It is an ancient design.
