Item Details
Title:
"Obrecht to Basel"
Description
Paints the picture of the pressures of debt and the sources of debt. He offers as one example a Toseng Christian Moses a man in the prime of life, still working off a £5 fine he suffered after committing adultery in his heathen days by working for the man who lent him the money 2 days a week. He is a shingle-splitter and had £3 work in the last year on the building of a catechist's house, but though a missionary offered to lend him the additional £5 he has let the opportunity slip.
