Postcard featuring the portraits of Mr and Mrs Lammond, Mr H.L. Gammon, Miss A. Gammon, missionaries to Johnston Falls, Okapango, Bihe, Central Africa. Portraits surrounded by the Great Commission text, with the exhortation (paraklesis) "Brethren Pray for us" in the upper left position. A pillar on the right hand side with text explained that "These cards are intended to remind us of the servants of Christ whose faces we have seen, and whose fellowship we have enjoyed but who are now absent, serving the Lord." Finally, a note at the bottom noted that "the proceeds from the sale of these cards, above the cost of production, will be entirely devoted to to the Lord's wprk in foreign lands". "Still Keep up interest in Africa for my sake, never be daunted, either to send or help out". W.E. Gammon Feb. 3rd 1898.
