Theodore Roosevelt sits outside a church in Rifle, Colorado, while a choir sings a hymn that the caption gives as "There Is Sunshine on the Soul." Roosevelt served as president from 1901 to 1909 and made several trips through the West, and stops like this one often drew local congregations and townspeople out to greet him. The caption notes have been revised over time, so the exact occasion and date remain uncertain. Even so, the scene shows how public ceremony and small-town worship could meet during a presidential visit.
