George Eastman's Order

I obtained this photo from one of my friends in the Pacific. It is a Church I attended in my youth -- however this is a recent photo. My mother joked that one sees Eastman in this photo. George Eastman was a Congregational missionary who liked to keep things regimented. A hundred years later, his regimentation lives on. One of the elders of Beru told me that Eastman would inspect houses (typically wooden structures on stilts), to see that there was order. If he found a house which was disorderly, he would strike it with a stick, and it was burnt down.
