We have now entered on the twelfth year of our mission in this Oi country, and on a review we find, that already thirty Missionarie whom 13 were married, have been sen ha 1T Lord’s out to this part of t} vineyard; 21 of them, 11 of whom are married, are still actively engag- ed in the work.

Br. Greiner was consequently called in, and when the daughter thro’ the mercy of God got better, she with her brother resolved, henceforth to follow the Lord. Their mother, though she too had vowed in time of trouble, changed her mind soon after, and being afraid of losing her children, she was determined to A do any thing to keep them back ; with one hand, she wou ] i G say, I will hold a sword, and with the other I will keep back my daughter from i 1 t 1A i als 1 ¢ s, following Jesus. The father too tried alternately w tears, thr and intreaties to win them back; and through the parents the whole village was soon roused to indignation against them. They threw the young man out of caste and threatened the sister, that if she would not separate from her husband (a late convert) they would do the same to her, but if she would submit to their authority, they promis T ad to give her another husband. This was a time of great trial, yet by the good- ness of the Lord they continued steadfast, and were finally deprived of caste. The parents then resorted to another expedi < €L & 1 } t which was, that the mother should go to a ¢ < ort L B a i in brahr Y i in, vbo by the medicine prepared by a fisher-boy had caused his return to the way of his fathers to beg of him some of the same medicine, which they would give the The son overheard this conversation and resolved to son secretly.

After this mother and daughter were again, as they said, under the influence of an evil spirit, and since they o bl thought, that with u o Uil ere was peace from that quarter, they resolved to send her to the house of one of our christians ; but repenting soon threa Lilicq of this step they took her back again, and by tenings and entrea- f: C 5 x: ties, they succeeded at last so wr with her, that she was about to leave "y her christian husband, and to give u J all future connexion with USe 1 This had such an overpowering effect upon her g | wsband, that he too QO was meditating to for (>N ke the Lord on account of his wife, as he could not bear the idea that she should be anothers.

Another fisherwoman, sister ydia mentioned in the last report 5 A3 is also under instruction. Among : he many that were attacked by small pox, and found refuge in the poor house here, under our care, only one woman, who was cast by her unnatural relatives into the street along with her three children, was awakened to a sense of thankfulness and acknowledgement of the mer- cies of the Lord, who opened her heart to seek the Saviour. Our prayer and hope is, that all these, above mentioned, may be numbered among those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. We intend, - if the Lord permit, to baptise some of them shortly; and may the Spirit, the water, and the blood bear witness on that day to the glory of our Lord and Saviour, Others who came went on well for a time, but in time of affliction fell away, so the head of a family, who could not stand the threatenings of his landlord, and the abuses of his neighbouars. Another sad case is that of a fisherwoman ; she frequented the house of one of our Christians, £en heard there o LLT n the word of God and grew much in knowledge.

Ammann, and Mrs. Ammann. The erection of a Mission House in the old Fort at Moolky, as mentioned in our lastReport, has been completed and br. Ammann, repaired thither in the beginning of July. He was joined by Mrs. Am- mann in November last, Concerning his labours he writes, ¢ since my removal from Kadike to Moolky I feel, I am where I ought to be (viz.) in the midst of the people, and the visits of Natives from Moolky and its vicinity are much more frequent, which gives me many welcome e:,,\pportunii.ies to sow the seed of eternal life. A knowledge of the truths of the Gospel (I observe) gets more and more abroad, tho’ not as yet to = i¢ J the saving of the soul, for indifference with regard to their eternal welfare, a tenacious clinging to caste, and the hold family connections have on them, are the great drawbacks, the power of darkness employs to keep them in their state of bondage. The cross of Christ is still a stumblingblock to some, and foolishness to others g The Congregation has not increased during the year, except that the W }‘- VY iX young man o had, as formerly mentioned, relapsed again into hea- thenism, was restored to Church fellowship. It may be said of the members in general that they are growing in grace and adorn the doc trines they profess; et are there not wanting instances of lukewarm- ness, that tend to grieve and discourage us, Two have fallen asleep in Jesus, one of them in consequence of a fall from a high tree. A few days previous to this, the death of one of his children, and the prepa- ration for partaking of the Lord’s supper, brought him into nearer communion with the Lord, and wrought in him a desire for heavenly things. The second who died was the Bramin youth, who was baptized 2 years ago at Kadike. He was attacked at the beginning of October by cholera, and the Lord saw fit to gather him the same day into his barn, as a shock of corn fully ripe. He exhibited, especially during the latter days of his sojourn here, a lively faith towards the Lord, who bad washed him by his blood, and purchased for him acceptance with God, His end was peace, being fully assured that he was a child of God. It causes joy and tunes the keart to the praise of the Lord to see one, a short time ago enveloped in gross heathenish darkness, now depart in peace as a Simeon of old. Oh that all living members of our glorious Head would be aroused and pray like the widow in the Gospel, unceasingly for a richer outpouring o His spirit upon all His people, but especially upon His servants who work among the heathen, that they might stand in the power of God, and be enabled to rob the strong one of his prey. During the year I made three short journeys, and I am happy to say, ) a > got free access to the people, whom I admonished and becoe OB d to b 1 reconciled to God, seeing, that the kingdom of God was brought nig 1 to them, and that now was the acceptable time. On my first jouroey Lo over Caap, Oodupee, Purdura to Agumbi, I had chiefly to combat with Brahminical superstition ; the second was to Mudabidgq to a festival, held in honor of Mariama or Doorga, where Jain unbelicf, which holds that the world is un orea vica ted, eternal, and not governed by Ged, pre- sented itseif to me. On the third, which I made to Caap, I met witl PRt the slavish superstition of the Tulu people which th bj have with regard . to their demons, an U A w \14 } - i ich b roves the great barrier there to the pro- o el bd o e Sk o -t oo o ¢ fond oy Pt o (] L pa— St s o (] o) Pomsed = o] - & & P o (@i ST bt s m (=, i [¢= jo) — et e o () - ()] o) 55 ! 4 | — w el O 3 pa .

In Singana koppa they agreed to all that I advanced, except the caste question, for said some, should we give up this, we would be like the despicable Parias, On my as | s kin < o ~ 9 whether the Kuropeans, who were without caste, were li ke [N ) he Parias, or whether they with their caste were better and wiser than others,they answered with a laugh. At Rangapoor I found a Roman Catholic chapel. There are in the vicinity of this place about 70 or €0 roman catholics; but though it was on a sunday, the greater part of them had gone to their fields. The heathen told me that they were like themselves; kept up like the rest the distinction of caste, and that the low castes of them, called Schan- dalas, were not even allowed to enter the Chapel. At last, some, after I had called for them, came, and I had a long conversation on the i £ profanation of the sabbath, the o i fensiveness of caste distinction among Christians, on image worship, meritorious acts, and on their not ac- knowledging the word of God as the sole rule for life. They exhibited great ignorance of the Bible and produced therefrom strange argu- ments : the most gifted ancong them said, the Papa saib (so they call the Pope) must be the apostolical representative and teacher of all ; for after Judas had fallen away, another was chosen in his stead, who was to watch over the rest of the Apostles and their doctrine, which office Wwas by succession brought down to the present Pope. With regard to the fallen nature of man, he partook of the ideas of his heathen neigh- bours, namely, that sinful desires and a carnal mind were implanted by the Creator. From the word of God he refused instruction . v and after two Lours conversation they left me saying, between your English Gospel and our Roman way, there is such a difference, that we are persuaded yours must be from the Devil, for ours is right. At Hullam- by I had a great number of hearers, among which especially an atten= tive man, who made many questions, attracted my notice After having visited me repeatedly he told me, that he had considered all he had heard and found, that it was true and good ; but, said he, I ecanuout comprehend how you can commit such a sin as to kill and eat animals, I directed his attention to the ditference between the various degrees of life in nature ; and that not that which entered into the month was pollating man, but that which came from the heart. After corsidering again for a time he said. The people of this country are indeed a bad race, for if any one eats meat it must be sin, yet they are not ashamed 4 to treat their sons and daughters like mere fles ) h, because they sell them in marriage for a few rupees, °) 0 L At Kallegadigee, I had a number of simple hearers, but a disputa- tious Vishnu Brahmin tried to disturb, and he found between Krishuu . 9 and Christ not only a similarity in their names, but also in their offices for, said he, Christ promised to be with his own always, and Krishna has been at one and the same time with all his sixteen thousand milk women. At Dasty koppa I heard a dispute going on, among those who had just heard me, and was pleased by the remarks an old man made, for he zealously defended, that all men were alike with regard to caste, and sinners before God: and that, should they ever inherit eternal salvation they must have a saviour to atone for them. This encouraged me to hope, that the word spoken does not always fall on stony ground. At Bullawundra I had among my hearers a Lingite merchant, who had come with the Dessai of the place, when speaking on the distinction of caste the merchant remarked yes, Garuda, by being Vishnus vehicle, is yet holy to the Brahmins tho’ he feeds upon carcases and the refuse of all castes ; so if a low caste is once in your, or Government employ, none, not even the Brahmins, are afraid of being polluted by him, and sit together on the same mat ; since you are like gods even a pariah is no more unclean thro’ your presence. At Hullgerry I lodged in a Davana’s temple and had a good many hea - rers., The Poojaree, a simple man, after he had dressed the idol came and invited me to see, whether I did not like the appearance of it. I told him, God could have no pleasure in such things, that, since he was a spirit, he required a spiritual service, which, however, was be- yond his comprehension, On his affirming, that God must dwell in man, since without this man would have no desire for him, I replied, aa as unlikely it w LA.B; that a king would dwell with pigs, so unlikely was it, that God would make His abode in the heart of an unconverted sinn er Lo2 O To prove, that without God there existed nothing, and that B ince the living soul existed, and that consequently God must dwell in it, an old man brought a little looking glass and kept a stone before it, saying, that as the reflection was nothing, so in this world all was deceit and delusion wherever God did not dwell. On asking him whe- ther the weaver was existing in the clothes he had on, he replied with a laugh, how can that be; upon which I endeavoured to shew him the difference between the Creator and the creature; and that God was invisible, but by the visible things he had created we might know his At Eternal power and Godhead, and glorify and worship him aright. Hully koppa, where, among a large number, some seemed to listen with interest; one affirmed, we Hindoos have to bear the sin of Govern- ment : for since the English have come to this Country, poverty, sick- T e P T e o 7 31 ness, and misery have greatly increased among us. I told them, that each man had to bear his own iniquity and if it was so, as he said, it was in consequence, that they despised the truths of the word of God which had been proclaimed to them since the English had taken pos- session of the country ; and that, therefore, they should acknowledge the finger of God in this matter, turn from dumb idols unto the true and living God. Another said kow can I help it if 1 have to bear the sins of former births ; but seemed to be satisfied when I told him, that their doctrine of Metempsychosis was an idle dream, since this would prove God to be a fickle being like ourselves. Another sought to ri- dicule, saying, if Christ was man, he could not be born without a father Whom I and if he was God he could never have died on the cross. answered, that if he had once eyes to see, and ears to hear, he might be able to comprehend something of this mystery. While at Hully hall I visited an idol feast that was held in a village a few miles off, and after I had preached to them a Brahmin observed, do not get tired of preaching to us, for many Brahmins have already got an insight into the falsity and absurdity of our religious observances, and only keep it up because they are afraid of losing their authority. A jain remarked, that tho’ they might have knowledge, yet the iron fate that was pending over them could not be resisted, and, therefore, they would not abandon their present way, I told him, that it was the will of God that all should come to the knowledge of the truth, and that consequently Christ had died to procure for us the means of reconciliation with God. He meant, it was a hard thing to know the will of God, since every one considered his religion the true one 1 told him if I would speak to you of apples and pears of my native country, you would not know what I meant, until I was able to shew and let you taste them ; and su it is with the doctrine of Christ, you will not know, whether it be of God or of men until you learn to do the will of God, and that which is good and right, In Hully hall itself, when speaking in a shop to about 30 men, I was greatly pained by hearing an old man of about 80, use most indecent expressions. Another of them, to hold the doc- trine of the cross in ridicule, bound two sticks together in the shape of a cross and held it up saying, here is your God! I told them, they shewed plainly what manner of spirit they were of ; spoke to them of the difference between protestant and catholic christians, and their sinfulness in ridiculing before they rightly understood our religion, On sunday I went to the Roman Catholic Chapel at that place, hoping to find it filled, found it, however. quite empty, as they all had gone to the market, After much trouble I succeeded at last in collecting 4 of 32 them, to whom I read and explained the 4th chapter of Hebrews, but could make little impression upon them. A formal affirmative was all T could get from them. The afternoon of that day I spent in the house of a nice young man of portuguese descent, who with his fa- mily rejoiced me greatly by their hunger and thirst for the truth. When preaching in the village Benasy to a goodly number, one said ; as all the streams and rivers flow into the same sea, so the creed of the dif- m ferent for i 188\ S centre in one God ; one calls him Bussawa, the 2nd Linga, the 3rd Hanamanta and so on. Another said, if we are to care little about earthly goods, why did you English take away our country for the sole object of making money ? I told him, that on account of for- saking the true and living God, God left them without a king or a prince of their own ; and that it was the true God whom we worship- ped, who gave the kingdoms of the earth to whomsoever he pleased. In the large village Beedee I could for some time not get any hearers, ne 110 to give meat to eat since a rumour had got abroad, that I had cor and spoil their caste, but had a willing audience, as soon as they found that they were deceived. One of the brahmins who had collected said, that they the brahmins, deserved a higher and better rank among the rest, because they were twice born; which gave me an opportuaity of Another old brahmin speaking to them of the new birth in Christ made repeatedly the objection, if Christ does not visibly appear to his believers, it is vain to believe in him, and besides, what help can you expect of one who was liable to death like other men. On my explain- ing to him, that he gave his life willingly as a ransom for our sins, he My answer was, asked, whether T had received forgiveness of my sins. by the grace of Christ I could answer him in the affirmative ; he with a contemptuous smile, “if you are free from sin why do you say, that none can do meritorious acts ? for by your being reconciled your works should be sinless, and therefore propitiatory for others. I explained to him, that there was but one mediator between God and men, and that none could by any means redeem his brother, ner give to God a ransom for him. Well he said if you are sinners like ourselves, why do you come and preach to us ? It is, said I, that you might know your illing to heal and bless sinful state, and the physician who is able and ‘w you. At Kittoor, where the Gospel has already been preached often I had a large number of hearers, and by their various questions and objections, not, however, by any change of mind they showed, that they became more familiar with the truths of the word of God.

We are happy to say, that Isaac has behaved, during the last year, much more in accordance with his high calling as a Christian. He had a hard trial to undergo, having lately become affected by leprosy he was disappointed in his hopes of getting married ; but he bore this affliction with much meekuess When I once asked him as to his feelings re- garding this trial, his reply was “It is from the Lord who gives me but to taste a small portion of the fruit of my former sins, on account of which I have merited so much,” When on another accasion I was obliged to reprove him on account of his idleness telling him, that since I had spoken so often ineffectually T must now leave him to himself, not wishing to interfere any more with him, I found him much moved; he afterwards came to me in tears sayin to 2] o, when a child makes faults his father will punish him for it, but you told me you would leave me to myse‘if, how then can I get wiser or better ? you must remember, for how long a time I lived in ignorance and sin, and it is only a few years since the Lord has been pleased to shew me the light of his Gos- pel ; therefore please to have patience, and do not get tired to reprove and punish me, This candid confession pleased me much, as I saw evident tokens in it of his being a child of God. From among the heathea population we have had very few attendants at our divine service, those who used formerly to attend left it off en- tirely. It seems, that the more the people become acquainted with the word of God, the more they shut their ears against it ; whether from S — indifference or fear is hard to tell, Schools, The number of these has during the last year come down from 12 to 8. A Boy’s school, in connection with one for grown up per- m—— sons, I was obliged to give up on account of the schoolmaster’s immo- ral conduct, which he refused to forsake in spite of many admonitions; and has since been not recommenced for want of a.proper schoolmasters Another adult school I discontinued on account of the very small, and at the same time irregular attendance; the same was the case with a school in an adjacent village, The number of schools still in existence are 5 for Boys, and 3 for Girls. Of the former there are three in e ————— Hoobly itself, attended by from 70 to 80 boys in each, and 2 in near villages of, from 25 to 40 boys. About a fourth part of the whole number are able to read, commit to memory portions of the Old and New Testaments, or tracts. How much of the good seed sown among them has fallen on good or stony soils we cannot tell, but fear compa- ratively a small portion on the former, 51 We have good reason to hope that by the means of the boys, and the schools in general, the contents of the truth of God are spread amongst the people. We pray to the Lord, that it may work as a lea ven amongst the population at large, There are some promising cha- weters among them, but knowing tl bad influence which other xercise over them, we can hope but with trembling. Of the three Girls schools, are two in new, and one in old Hoocbly. rIle average number of children who attend is from 45 to 50, of which about The former 10 are able to read, and from 15 to 20 begin to do so. have committed a few tracts to memory It requires much patienc to go on perseveringly in this branch of our labour. The irregularity with which they are attended proves to be a great disadvantage, and since the visiting of the school is left entirely to the choice of the girls themselves, we have no prospect of having the evil soon removed and when they have acquired a little of the first rudiments they consider it a superfluous task to visit school any more, so when a few weeks ago I asked a girl the reason for absentine herself she told me with much pertness I know to read and to write and to cast accounts, and thai is quite enough for me, During the first months aft Irs.

Again it happened, that when I was surrounded by a listening crowd, one of their priests would sneak in and whisper, that they should not attend to my words, but leave me. Not seldom they interrupt us with trifling and absurd questions and assertions, So I was told by a man in the course of a lively conversation, our priests are after all still greater than you; for you only know how man may be saved, but our priests show means for.the salvation of ants and every living creature. The spiri- tual darkness which envelops these poor idolators, and the perverted ideas they have of God’s nature are really awful, and none, but those who labour among them, can have some faint conception of it. When the other evening, in the course of conversation, a man had explained to me his system of philosophy, such as I had never heard before, and when I was going to shew him the utter absurdity of it, pointing out to him the true relation of man to God; he said in reply no man can I know whether God is punishing the sinner or rewarding the pious. rofn 4] sou ht to IS o B0 § te LY his by calling in the testimony of his own conscience ¢! when ha LSS begged mr 10 U et o listen to what he had to say “A certain butcher” 1€ veg (e n, ¢ bought a Cow, tied her by a rope, and was about to bring f 1€ r home, when on a sudden she broke loose and ran away. f In run- ¥ 11Ng ai ofi ter h o r he met a man, who in his whole life time never told a ie an 8 on his asking him, whether he had seen his Cow, he was told n ] 18 A £ i On went ; by hir he followed this road he was sure to get her, e o bu teher | I 10 : far off he met another man, who in his life time never t tol d v he tru =’ h ? and putting the same question to him he was told, that he was quite in the wrong road, and that he must go to the left if he By 1 wishe i to find his Cow.

The visitors at the mission ho na 1 uo Q e were during the last year not so 37 numerous as formerly, and those who come were induced more by curiosity, than any thing else. Among the visitors I had also some of a religious sect lately sprung up in our neighbourhood, who profess to have given up Hindoo idolatry, and to believe the tenets of Christia- nity, I would mention a singular case, which occurred some weeks ago. Three men belonging to it, a Carpenter, a Lingaite, and a Mus- sulman came one evening to the Mission house ; among the various questions T made, I enquired also after their caste, and received this answer; your caste and ours is the same, we also believe in Jesus Christ. When I expressed my doubts of the truth of their statement, and pointing to the carpenter as wearing still his sacred thread, and to the Lingaite carrying still his Linga, the carpenter exclaimed, this sacred thread is nothing but a lie, shall I tear it in pieces? Before I had time to answer he had torn it, and thrown it {o the ground. On telling him, that this act did not make him a Christian, he replied, did not Jesus commaud, that should any man smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also ? I was going to explain to him the meaning of this, when he, repeating these words of our Lord again began to beat both his cheeks in a fearful manner, that at last the by standers were obliged to prevent him from doing it any longer. I could not make out the reason for his doing it, but most likely he wanted to show, how strictly he was fulfilling the commandments of our Saviour. On taking my leave from them that evening, they promised to pay me another visit, and contrary to my expectation, they made their appear- ance again next morning. While I was reading to them appropriate passages from the New Testament, and endeavouring to esplain to them the truths of the Gospel, I saw to my surprise, while I was read- ing the description of the last judgment by our Lord, Matthew 25, 31 to 46, that tears were trickling down the face of the Carpenter ; by further conversation, however I found, that these were not tears of repentance, but their aim by granting so ready an acquiescence was to get me over to their persuasion. I learned namely on further enquiry, that their priest, a respectable but rather an ambitious man, had been led, by the reading of the New Testament and other religious tracts re- ] ceived from us, to the idea, that he was himself an incarnation of Jesus Christ ; and these his disciples showed much zeal in maki for him. f)g proselytes y I have been unable to make any missionary tours during the last year on account of my having been quite alone ; since however I had 30 the pleasure to welcome in the beginning of December a fellow labourer dear Br., Wiirth. I hope to carry on this important branch of labour 0 38 more effectually, May in the coming year the beaaty of the Lord our God be upon us, and may He establish the work of our hands, yea the work of our hands establish Thou it ! March 4th, 1846, J. MULLER. G. WURTH. BETTIGHERRY. Rev. J. C, Hiller, and Mrs. Hiller, and the Rev. G. Kzes. Though the last year has been a very eventful one, and one in which we have experienced great mercies from the Lord, yet not of such a The work kind as furnishes us with much matter for a public report. of the Mission here has quietly proceeded, of which we beg to give a short outline. At posteript in our last report contaired the painful in- telligence of the death of our dear Br, Hall. In December last we had the pleasure tc welcome our dear Br. Kies, who was sent out by our society to fill the place of the dear departed. He has already mastered the greatest difficulties of the Canarese language, begins now to assist us in our schools, and will soon be able to engage himself fully in the work of evangelization in and around Bettigherry. Mrs. Hiller’s girl’s schools at Guduck and Bettigherry contain the same number of scholars as formerly, 18 to 20 in each, They read, write, cast accounts, and commit passages of scripture to memory ; the progress they make, we are happy to say, is very satisfactory. They come twice a week to Mrs. Hiller to be instructed in needle work, and show on the whole much attachment to us. We have at present two boys® schools, one at Guduck numbering 40 boys, and one at Bettigherry of 60. We regret to say, that the boys do not geaerally attend school long enough to admit of our instructing them in more than the usual rudiments, and leave us at a time, when we could have hoped to have been of more essential help to them. Their parents having no other ideas, but to bring them up to follow their own trades, take them to assist in their several occupations, as soon as they have acquired some proficiency in reading and writing. We intend to establish more schools, and have great inducements to do so, as soon as we can meet with suitable schoolmasters; for in our estimation it is much betier to have no school, than an unprincipled man for a teacher. We have now three youths, trained up by us with a view to employ them as schoolmasters, an@ we hope ere long to succeed in getting others of the same description In our last report we mentioned, that we had no individual of whom 39 we could hope that a decided change of heart had taken place, and the same is still the case ; though from the general feeling and conduct of the people which is perceptibly improviag, we are encouraged to Our hope, that our labour will eventually be crowned with success,. last years experience has by many a pleasing incident convinced us, that there are many people here who secretly wish, or at least would prefer a religious change for the better ; but wait for one to set the example. If once a beginning of a congregation was made, this would be a signal for many to bid farewell to their idols and traditionary observances ; in the mean time we go on and wait the Lords good time, praying Him, to prepare them and the way for their emancipation. For several months some met regularly with our own people and our first class school boys for divine service on Sunday mornings who One of our schoolmasters, however, to scemed very eager after truth, whom we gave too good a testimony in our last report, proved not only to be a hypocrite himself, but was the cause of drawing 5 or 6 others of them away with him, To express our feelings regarding the state of the Mission here we would use the simile of a fruit tree, which we feel best suited to embody our ideas, A tree, we observe, generally shakes off its worm eaten and rotten fruit, while the good ones, requiring longer time for ripening, remain on it. We may think it a pity, that so much fruit is lost, yet From our fruit tree on those that remain our chief hopes are fixed. at Bettigherry many apparently nice and promising fruits have fallen off, and though the relapses are heart rending, and scarcely conceivable by any one, who has not experienced something of the kind, still we will not be discouraged ; but by the grace of our Lord, and in humble / dependance on Him will go on with his work as long as it pleases Him. A tree full of fruit is still before us, and we cherish the hope, that some of them at least will prove good to our joy, and to the glory of the Lord. We will not be disheartened by disappointments ; but con- strained by the love of Christ, and the pity we feel for the misery of these poor erring people around us, use every means within our power 0 to promote their temporal and eternal good. % March 19¢h, 1846.

The occurrences and losses which be fell this station during the last year powerfully reminded us, ¢ That the Lord’s ways are not our 29 ways, nor His thoughts our thoughts. We had been happily engaged in His work, when He in his wisdom saw fit to make a rent in the bond of love that encircled us. Yet though he seems at times ready to destroy, and to pull down what has been built up ; we know that He, as the wise master builder, will finish what He has begun and, in spite of the many oppositions, the head stone shall yet be brought forth with shoatings of ¢ grace, grace unto it, yet not by might, nor by power ; but by my spirit saith the Lord.” And though his dispensa- tions be mysterious to us, we are assured, that what we know not now, we shall know hereafter, and praise Him for that He hath done all things well, The cholera, that scourge of the Almighty, had been raging for some time in our vicinity, when at last it made its appearance also in our Colony and two men were attacked by it, of whom one recovered, and the other died. It next entered our own dwelling, and Mrs., Essig was brought very low by it; her dear husband, who attended her, was the next victim ; yet his symptoms seemed not, until the last few hours, to be of such a nature as to cause alarm, and before we were actually aware of his dangerous state we were called upon to witness his sudden and unexpected departure, On the first of May he was slightly indis- posed, had four hours good rest, however, that night, and the dawn of His spirit had taken next morning (the 2d May) saw him a corpse. its flicht to the everlasting regions; but the suddenness of the shock was to us most severe, and had almost proved fatal to his bereaved and much weakened widow. The Lord, however, in His great mercy sup- ported her with His strong help and consolations, and preserved her to us and His work. The number of natives, that assembled around the grave of our dear brother at his burial was very considerable, whom Br. Hiller addressed shewing them, that the death of a Christian had nothing fearful in itself, that it was but a removal to his eternal home, where we hope to find him again with the Lord ; and exhorted them ! to seek the Lord, while He may be found. Our lamented Brother was much beloved by the natives on account of his many amiable qualities, I and faithful in dispensing the word of truth which we hope will yet I bear fruit. During the last two months while sickness was raging al] around, he was constantly out proclaiming the word of life, often saying f to his dear partner, I feel coustrained to be always engaged in my blessed work, not knowing whether it is to benefit these poor people Mrs, Essig or whether T myself am soon to be removed from my post, has since been residing at our stations here above, chiefly at Hooblee. Our dear br. I. C, Essig was born September 17th, 1814, at Sevuberg in the kingdom of Wu urtemburg, entered the Missionary Institution at Basle in 183 and was sent out as a N issionary to this Cﬂuntry in 1838. He laboured first above a vear at Mangalore, then for 2 years and ten months at Dharwar, and was afterwards by the desire of our Committee removed to Malsamudra at the end of January, 843 3 and was married at the end of that year, His loss is much felt at this station, but we trust the Lord who has pl’OmISDd to be with His own always, and who has been my stay and comfort in this affliction will D still be with me, and allow us uot to w C 1t any good thing. Our small congregation consists siill of the same number.

From the settlers, one family left me during the year, he was a washerman from Bentoor, belonging to the oft mentioned kalignanas; had resided here for about 3 years, during which he constantly heard the word of life, but appa- rently more as a savour of death unto death, than otherwise. Before his departure I exhorted him once more to remember what he was about before it was too late, but he stopped his ears and wanted to begone. It is a remarkable fact, that that village Bentoor, where the Gospel had been heard so much, has been lately visited awfully by cholera, about a hundred and fifty persons were swept away by it within 3 weeks in this comparatively small village. An old man, a weaver, without a family, is the only one that was received during the year; he attends divine service, goes on in his quiet way, and seems content, Many among these settlers, who have heard the word of truth so often go on in their sleep of sin ; but others on the contrary begin to open their eyes and ask after the Lord God who saves from death. They have, how- ever, not yet decision enough to leave all and follow Christ, yet I trust that the Lord, who gave them so far a willing heart will finish what he has begun to his own glory. There were a number who-applied for being received into the colony. but as their intention was more towards the loaves and fishes than any thing else I denied their request. As I was left quite alone, I could not go to any distance with the kS message of peace and reconciliation, but was confined to the neighbour- hood. My invitation to come to the great supper of the Lord, and my Yet request to be reconciled with God generally met with a deaf ear. not only the gentle voice of the Gospel, but also the loud voice of God, when he spoke to them by small pox, cholera, and dearth, was disre- + QT garded, many seeming to make their heart still harc 1 Cle When the rains for the monsoon were so very late, many were led to ask for the cause of it, and acknowledged that no help was to be expected from their dumb idols; I exhorted them, by the example of the Ninevites, to an alv ious unto them ; but repent and turn to God, that so he might be gr no sooner had the Lord been merciful a Y i nd granted them a plentiful rain, then the presence of the idols wasagain crowded by these deluded votaries, offering to them the gifts that belonged to the Lord alone.

This reasoning neither he, nor his attendants, could comprehend, and we since that time have not heard any thing further of the youth. The public preaching among the Heathen has been carried on more effectively during the past year, and I pray, t'hat by God’s grace it may be done to a greater extent each year. Last year we visited for the first time the heathen festival at Payawur; from the 16th to the 22d of February, 1845, and soon afterwards that A Nair at Taleparambu from the 6th to the 17th of March, 1845. at at ter festival, pilgrim, Krishna, who was on his way to Cashee at the ] heard there for the first time the Gospel, and followed us to Cannanore; to learn more fully the good way. A month afterwards, however, he left us again finding it more difficult to yield obedience to our most holy faith, than that his whole body should be torn in pieces with iron tongs, which according to his say ing o2 he would willingly suffer to merig We were at those heaven, We still remember him in our prayers. times wonderfully strengthened to find so many ready listeners from among the assembled heathen, who received the word of God with great joy ; and this was for us a pledge, that our labour 'will in due time bring forth fruit unto the praise and glory of God, Yea, indeed, we are full of joy, hope and thanksgiving in Christ Jesus. QOur work is a sure one in Him, because it is God, who has sent us, the God of all mercies, who willeth not the death of sinner, but commands all to repent and believe in His only begotten Son for pardon of sin and everlasting life. During the present year we were allowed again to be present at the heathen festival at Payawur, from the 15th to the 21st of February, 1846. We found this time far less people than formerly, which was chiefly owing to the prevalence of cholera. We had grace to preach the word of God to crowds, who listened quietly. Here also the youth Paul (see last year’s report ¢ out station Chirukal ”) for the first time )1 was privileged to witness of the love of God, as it is in Jesus, to this 1 ! i people, and Timothy, Jacob, John and Joseph had ample opportunity to do the same. Jy We were likewise at the heathen festival at Talipa- rambu, from the 11th to the 19th of March. Here too the attendance i was less than last year, but we were enabled to preach everywhere to The 10 listening crowds at different places in the bazaars and streets. hard hearted weavers, who drink a great deal, listened a little ; but the a Mapilas in their village were as eager to hear, as they were last year. A5 The visitors in our abode were, in consequence of the smallness of the il 46 assemblage less this time, and of the nice men, whom I had formerly the pleasure to see, 1 saw not one, but other promising men paid us a visit. I could not distribute so many books this year as I desired, of which I am rather sorry, the more so, as our worthy Bible Society at Madras has cheered my heart with a very liberal grant of portions of Scripture. I had with me about a thousand books of these, besides tracts in the Malayalim language. I was never before so rich in this precious treasure, thanks be to our gracious God; aad He, who gave, will soon shew a way for their distribution, Amen. Many of the people are sorry, that they are disturbed 'in their dan- gerous security ; some are very hostile, and again others listen to the word patiently, and say yes to all, - The word of God, however. will make its way to the souls of men, and accomplish that which He pleases. Early every morning aud evening we repaired to our posts to announce the glad tidings of the Gospel, and during the day time we received those who came to visit us, Only in my dwelling I gave away books, as I am afraid to bring them among such great crowds in the streets, O oq tr 19 lest they be d oyed. It is a blessed and great work for us poor sin- ners to be allowed to bear wituess of the Lord Jesus among so many thousands ; and to Him be glory and praise, that it has pleased Him to make use of us as His messengers for another year. The word does now run, who shall stop it? and will bring forth fruit in due season, I humbly recommend this our people to the fervent prayer of all our mission Friends. The Lord saw fit to visit our people along the coast, particularly the Mapilas and Fishermen, with the cholera for the last few months. At Tuhy, the Fisher village, cholera was raging from about the Ist to the 25th of February, and from 50 to 60 adults died, beside children, This year they accepted our assistance which last year they refused, whereby we ourselves almost sank under the burden. The 4th of February our dear Timothy had an attack, but it did not prove to be cholera, and on the 6th I had him brought to my abode. There re- mained then only myself and Patros, the schoolmaster, and we had On the 7th there came a almost day and night to do until the 10th, Fisherwoman to us, who desired to die a Christian, all her people had abandoned her, and she had repaired to a Roman’s house, where we administered medicine to her. As the sickness became more violent Patros and Eunike were to keep watch with her during the night ; and !; between & and 9 0o’Cloek that night she seemed near death. Eunike strongly urged her to repent and believe in the Lord Jesus, and receive baptism ; she gave to ali her ready consent: I ran to and fro, Br. Layer being with me on a visit, and just then preaching at the Mission House at Tahy; I asked him also what to do in this case; at last we agreed to comply with her wish, and I baptized her by the name ¢ Wiswasee.” I remained there till about 12 o’Clock that night, administering to and fro in the village medicine with prayer, As she seemed past recovery, and as nobody will earry such corpses, I ordered that night a grave to be made for her, and in the morning early sent my own people to carry her remains to the place of rest; but contrary to all expectation she was still alive, and continued to do well under our great care. On the 8th, at 9 o’Clock in the evening, our beloved Eunike fell sick, and at 12 o’Clock that night I went to see her, she received me with open I had still arms, fully resigned to her Father’s will, and ready to die. hope, gave her medicine, and remained with her till 4 o’Clock the next morning, but during that time she sank rapidly. On the 9th I asked her several times, Child dost thou believe in the Lord Jesus? Where- upon she always laid her hand upon her breast, raised her body to a 5 » sitting posture and replied bowing with a loud ¢ es.” I prayed with her, but she told me afterwards, that owing to the severity of the sick- ness she could not attend. Early on the morning of the 10th this dear soul fell asleep, a sacrifice to her labour of love in attending upon the other sick woman, and in the evening we buried her in the grave, made for Wiswasee, Next Patros felt ill, and I feared much for him, but the Lord in mercy spared him to me. A blind Fisher youth, by name Kolawen, who was much with us and believed in his heart, fell sick, but I was not allowed by his relatives to see him. He died while we were at the Payawur Festival. I deeply regretted this, but still expect to meet him in heaven. A black Jew of Cochin, who lived near me, also died of it; he shewed great confidence toward us, sent for me, and 'requested me to take charge of his two children, a boy of about 18, and a girl about 16 years. The latter soon after ran away, and we could hear nothing more of her ; she seemed to be of dissipated habits. The boy, Mordecai, is still with us. To the father we gave medicine, prayed often with him, and confirmed him in his belief of Jesus being Y %) the Messiah. Baptism he post £ soned, but we buried | 1im in our burying ground. This was a doleful time, and the medicine we administered seemed to be of no avail, At 6 o’Clock in the evening there was not a man to be seen in the streets, all was dead silence, except now and then a muttering prayer, or the repeating of the name of ¢ Rama, Rama.” A nice school boy 7 years of age, died also ; he said, that he believed in Jesus, and desired, that prayer should be offered up to God for him in our house, which was done. While sick his mother wished 48 to deliver him up to my charge. Another little boy, to whom I ad- ministered medicine died likewise. I was just going to enquire how he did, when lo! they carried him out of the house a corpse, still warm, they put him down upon a small plank, pat a pot of cold water over him, murmured something against me, and then carried him away in great haste. A girl of about 10 years, after T had given her some medicine, brought up a large worm, and when I came next morning the poor girl was no more : her mother was quite inconsolable for her loss ! Though this sickness was all around, and the air was almost death like, yet our faithful Lord allowed it not to enter into our own house, for which is Holy Name be humbly adored ; when the cholera broke out at Tahy, I comforted my people with the words of the 34th Psalm 7th verse. The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and de- livereth them. And He was pleased not to put us to shame,. Wis- wasee, the woman above mentioned, is still alive and getting strong again, but will it be believed ? she will now have nothing more to do with us. We took her after the attack to our house, and did all we could for her; but while we were on a preaching excursion she left us On our return we sent for her and spoke to her, she listened attentive- ly ; but has since grown very hostile, and will have nothing more to do with us, She pretends to know nothing about her baptism, and speaks much against the late dear Eunike and Patros, who attended her assi- duously in her illness. . She says, I should have liked to die in com- munion with you, but in life I will have nothing to do with you. This woman is a true picture of all men by nature, for when dying, we all desire to have a Saviour, but when in health and strength we care little about Him ; and are more inclined to do our own will, than keep His holy commandments. We still follow her with our prayers, and may the Lord open her eyes in due time. At Tahy the word of God was much preached, but the people are wedded to their sins, and know not what to do; some are friendly toward us, others opposed; about three weeks before the cholera appear- ed, they had an idol feast, and sat before the idol in the midst of the village. I approached and addressed them thus, It is now three years, that I preach unto you Jesus the Saviour, the Resurrection, and the Life, both publicly, and from house to house, and still you sit here This came before this dumb idol ! the Lord will punish you for this. but too soon to pass. The chief man then present, a strong and healthy man from Tellicherry died there, as I hear, from cholera. While this scourge was raging they sought not their help from above, but from The night was already appointed, the Chirkal Rajah, an idol maker. 49 & ] A 8 ock, worship When he, the Rajah, should come to the village at 12 o the idol, and restore all things to the usual order; he had given his instructions concerning purifying offerings, &c. &c. I then prayed 41 1, against this delusion publicly and in the congregation at 2hy and 1 am thankful to say, he came not, The god, say they, has abandoned them. The old Pujaree died already in the first year of my stay here, ha iy and since that time the spirit comes upon none, t is, to be possessed with the devil. And the Rajah too cannot set things in order. May the Lord be gracious and have mercy upon this poor people, and deliver faal them from the devices of Satan ! 1 here are very promising characters in this village, of whom I entertain strong hopes, that they will one day declare themselves on the Lord’s side. Chirakal. The cholera was also raging in the neighbourhood of this, but praised be the Lord, it did not make its appearance either in the village or in our house here. The people here are changeable in their ideas about us, and just now are very much opposed, because that a young man from among the " $8 5 has joined us, who has lived for the last two months with me, i Y e We expect one or two more to take tl same step, who are as yet hindered by their relatives. ~ Here and in the i » neighbourhood the wo d is faithfully preached, and we remember in our prayers all the places where we have been allowed to proclaim the glad tidings, as Cannanore, Tahy, Chirakal, Kamwee, Addattabba, Kootaly, Kitcherry Taliparambu; as also all those who dwell round us, and the thousands to whom we preach at the Festivals. May the Lord be pleased to hear us soon for his Holy Jesus name’s sake, and call many out of darkness to his marvellous light. Malayalim Schools.

A few days after this i3, Theophil’s mother came from Calicut, and by her tears and e entreaties succ < T L\f} ed in getti v}q her son back -again ; he made his escape and returned to us. From the detailed account he gave us of the whole affair it would appear, that not Baker, the former Mapilla, as we had suspected, but that Theodore had been the chief instigator of this pro- Theodore, by his ject. Theophil is now with our friends at Calicat, riotous and profligate life, is fast hastening the destruction of soul and body, while Baker wanders about without rest or peace, asa living witness to the truth, that the Lord will not suffer His holy name to be blasphemed. But blessed be the Lord, we have not only to relate of trials, but also of happy results, and the Lord has shewn us in different 53 ways, that he still acknowledges our work as His. On the 23rd of March last we had the pleasure to admit by baptism into His Church the schoolmaster of the fisher village, mentioned m our last report, along with a teacher of the younger boys of the Institution. The first, named Cornelius, has lost his school by this step, the other, Shaddeus, is still employed in the same way, Although we cannot speak of their walk as being exemplary, yet on the whole we have not much cause of complaint., Another of our old candidates, Cannerin, of the Tier caste; was baptised omthe 1st of January, called Aaron; he has not much knowledge, but we think him sincere, he feels himself to be a sinner, and loves Him whose blood cleanseth from all sin. In last January Br. C. Muller baptised four inmates of the poor hospital, two men and two women, one of the men, Abel, has since died in the faith of the Saviour; the other three, John, Mary, and Christina are going on well, sickly in body, but seeking the Physician of their souls. We have at present 5 candidates for baptism, to one of whom the ordinance will soon be administered. The holy sacrament was with a few exceptions celebrated monthly, Boys’ Institution. By the apostacy above related this institution, as may necessarily be expected was in some degree affected ; but we can say, that some of the older boys expressed sorrow of heart on the occasion, prayed for 1 the poor apostates, and were led to think more seriously on their own real state, The number of boys at present in the Institution amounts to 37, three more than last year, Those that left it are Theophil, Mark, now a Teacher of the younger boys, and married to Milea one of our d boarding girls : Hassen and Tsharen, who for lack of talents, are ! |5 employed in the printing establishment, and Warnden in the same as a Malayalim writer, Admitted were 8 boys of different cast and colors, varying from 6 Lo 14 years of age, The new comers are of a better d caste than most of our old boys, and we have, therefore, more reason pe £ to hope, that they will make greater proficiency in knowledge; since our last report we were enabled to baptize 5 of them, out of which d number one has died of consumption, From among the whole number we have two communicants, Nathanael, and Assirwadem. The whole 115 are composed of four classes, the two first of which, exclusively under nd the superintendence of the Brn. Irion and F.Miiller, are taught Biblical 10 be history, - church and profane history, geography of India, arithmetic, The younger classes are of singing, English and Malayalim exercises. Eht tqught reading, writing, arithmetic, a little geography & biblical history. 3 4 Concerning the progress of the boys we cannot say as yet much, they are slow of comprehension, yet we trust they make some advances. In the meanwhile we endeavour to store their heads with knowledge and if that once finds the way to their hearts, it will bring forth fruit and amply repay all our labours, S Girls’ Institution. More still, than that of the boys, has this institutim‘ suffered by the backsliding above mentioned, as Baker and Theodore, were married to two of the girls, Susan and Rachel, the latter also having become a mother. They are both the objects of our sympathy and care, and likewise that of our joy; since we can testify of them both, that they are sincere and walk in the fear of the Lord, patiently bearing the cross He has seen fit to lay upon them, The number of Girls is at present 23. Mi le x ea, Marianne and Christina have been married during the course of the year ; the two latter are members of our congregation: Two were Lydia was married to a young Christian man at Calicut. taken away by their relatives, and two new ones have entered since the departure of Mrs. Gundert, They are entirely under the care of Mrs: Irion, and are engaged still with lace making, plain and fancy needle work. They are instructed by Br. Irion, and Matta, a native teacher, in reading, writing, casting accounts, biblical history, geography and singing; several of the girls possess good talents; yet there are but few of them that have taken the kingdom of heaven by violence, though we have such. Three have been baptized, Rachel, Dorcas, Christina,‘ and continue to go on well; these are three communicants among them, Schools, and Preaching among the People Our schosls have during the past year endured many hard storms. By the carelessness of the schoolmaster at Mahe, and the enmity of the In June and July inhabitants there we were obliged to give that up. The occasion of two other schools at Tellicherry were quite empty. this was, that in consequence of a school for slaves being established by Government, the Tier part of the population, fearing lest their e AT children should be polluted by coming in contact with these Pul .)C children, petitioned the Collector to close this hated school ; but since they could not obtain their end with him, they knew nobody else on whom to show their spite save the Padiies. Some respectable man went from house to house taking a promise from the parents, that they 39 would no longer send their children to our schools. Their annoyance, however, soon past over, and now our schools are better attended than before. The school in the Fisher village, which at one time had assu- med such a promising character, became, by the baptism of Cornelius, the schoolmaster, quite forsaken, except by a few Roman Catholics. On the other hand we can add, that we have been enabled to establish three new schools at Nattagherry, about fifteen miles south of this, one The children in ali among the fishermen, and two among the Tiers. our schools are instructed in biblical knowledoe te ) reading, writing, cas- ting accounts; and commit Catechisms to memory. Were it not, that their continuing in school was so short and uncertain, we should like to instruct them in Geography and other useful knowledge ; but since they leave us as soon as they acquire some little facility in the rudi- ments, we chiefly endeavour to instill into their minds the truths of the word of God, .The schools are chiefly the places where we preach to the adults, as these usually resort thither whenever the Missionary visits the schools ; and we gladly avail ourselves of these opportunities, as we are obliged to seek our congregation as yet in the streets or wherever persons may be assembled together. The day schosl for Girls, under the care of Mrs, Ch, Miller, con- tinues the same and contains the same number of children ; they are chiefly Roman Catholics and consequently averse to the reading of the Bible. The eider of them was married in July last to a protestant soldier at Cannanore, who is a constant attendant on Br. Hebich’s mi- nistry. A day school for Hindoo girls has been commenced in the native town, a respectable Tiar being the schoolmaster, and we are happy to say, is beyond expectation prospering; the average attendance a- mounting to 35. On account of Mrs. Miiller’s continual indisposition it cannot have the constant female superintendence so desirable, but some of the girls come from time to time to the house to be instructed by her in needle work ; yet, because of the prejudices of the parents, the attendance is } very irregular, Br. C. Miiller, however, frequently visits this school. f Besides the regular visits to our three outstations, Anjarkandy, Chombala and Nattagherry, some short tours have been made for the ! preaching of the Gospel. Br. F. Miiller visited twice Manatoddy, where we intend to place a catechist as soon as we can find a suitable man for 1t 2 ° ] and Br. C, Muller visited last December a heathen festival at Kirur, 20 miles south from this. Both the brethren met as usual with much 1 i opposition, and Witb others again who lent a willing ear; and besides > 6 preaching distributed a great many tracts It is now sowing time, the harvest is of the Lord ; but it sure]y will come, and His word shall not return to Him void. e st OUT STATION ANGERCANDY, Catechist Ananden. We can say of the members of this congregation, that on the whole they are going on well, not denying, that some things have happened, especially family quarrels, that caused us grief; but still we rejoice, that notwithstanding all their imperfections the Lord has his work among these people. One of the principal members, mentioned in our last report as having been excommunicated, continued to go on impenitently in the hardness of his heart, till at last he was publicly punished by the authorities for his misconduct, He seems now to be much humbled, and has begged very earnestly for re-admittance, but it will be some time ere we can trust his professions. Anothe r, Simon, has been excommunicated on account of drunken- ness., The rest go on pretty well, yet do they from time to time need much exhortation and much reproof. There were & baptized during The Lord’s the last year, two old men, two youths, and four infants. Supper ‘was celebrated monthly, The school is still very badly attend- ed notwithstanding all our efforts to get it on. s ouT STA’I‘ISN CHOMBALA. Cateclist Vedamutiu. This place, mentioned in our last report as being about to be enter- { ed upon for the purpose of missionary labours, has by the grace of God been established, and borne frait to the Glory of His name. Our faithful catechist, along with Paul the first fruit of that place, are un- wearied in their exertions to proclaim the doctrine of the cross in the whole neighbourhood, and are not ashamed to bear the reproach of Christ. The former received ill treatment from the Mapillas at Mahe In for not giving sufficient honor, as they thought, to their prophet. August last a Nair youth arrived from pilgrimage at this place, and resolved with Br. C. Miiller’s permission to remain here and be taught. h He willingly did any work that was told him, and under careful su- X perintendence he soon learned his true, sinfusl state, and found peace Cl with Jesus. Soon after his arrival there came™a woman with her child, that was attacked by cholera, to Paul’s house, asking for medical assis- t} tance, the child died, and the mother was next seized with the same 1 7 disease. They preached unto her the Gospel, prayed with her, and the Lord was pleased to.open her heart ; she expressed her convictions of the forgiveness of her sins and her peace and faith in her Saviour, and earnestly wished, that she might be baptized before she died. As the time would not allow of one of us being called Vedamuttu baptized heoar j8iwvivp 8 her inthe name of Jesus; upon which she soon ¢ fully departed this life, amidst the prayers of those present Also Lydia, Paul’s wife, and Achyuden, the Nair youth, were attacked by the same disease, but recovered ; though they had no medicine, and simply sought their help from the Lord in prayer. This youth, now called Daniel, was baptized on the 2d of November and lately married to a girl of our Institution, and continues to walk in the fear of t ]’l fa) 110 Lord, The school we were obliged to give u as the people were afraid to let the children come to our house, When, 6 months ago, the schoolmaster at Waddgherry, a Tiar, commenced teaching, he being obliged to know our books began and was thus led to think of Him of whom these to read the Gospels books testified. e was often visited by As be lived near Chomballa, Vedamuttu and Paul, who often spoke to him of the one thing needful. By degrees light began to dawn upon him, he saw and felt the misery of his sinful life, and that nowhere, but in Jesus, was rest and peace to be found. Thouch convicted he delayed for some time till towards the end of last year, when he was enabled to break with all family connections came hither, and was baptized on the 11th of January, by the name of Jacob. His wife, who had first greatly lamented this step becomes now more quiet yet refuses to hear anything of the Gospel. It is a remarkable fact that although he undauntedly professes the Gospel, they still allow him to be the te er of their children ; the number however has decreased from 50 to 30. A Tiar, alluding to the circumstance, said * Tt must be true what t he 11T Padries say since again one of our learned men has left us. There have been 28 baptlzed at Tellicherry and the Outstations, 4 married, and 2 buried, f 5 PRINTING ESTABLISHMENT 1 1 a Lithograph ic P res d About a year ago, it was proposed to establis 3 here, since from the distance of Mangalore, nd the a {, want of ag Malayalim Writer, it could not be avoided but that constant Ci er Y O(‘j > crept into our books.

IRIO C. MULLER 28th February, 1846 Fr, MULLER CALICUT Res. J. M, Fritz, and Mrs. Fritz, and Rev. J. Huber Catechists Titus and Chinnapen To take a retrospect, and report publicly of the progress and result of our labours has, though it must be considered an unpleasant task its various advantages, for we are reminded of various omissions, and 5 our own ignorance and helplessuess to carry on this glorious work, which is calculated to humble us in the dust ; but then again we meet also with innumerable mercies from the hand of the Lord to encourage and strengthen our hands for doing that which he has bidden us to do. Besides, our Christian friends who support us with their prayers h and gifts, have a right to ask us as to the result of our labours; to them we must answer in the parable of the sower, that some of the 1 b U seed fell by the way side, others on stony ground, others among the There is much in the former 1l thorns, and again others on good soil { to discourage, and the latter betrays so much weakness and deficiency G as to tempt us to impatience, and we have constant need to collect b 9 nothen our hands and our hearts from the examples ourselves, and stre e How much had the Saviour himself to bear with of the word of God. How often did he tell those, by whom he was always surrounded ? them of his mission and had to reprove them for the dulness and slow- ness of their heart to believe all that had been spoken and written con- cerning Him? And would it not betray want of humility to desire to have it better than the Lord himself ? We are often tempted to expect 1 too much of the Hindoos in genera b and native christians in particu- lar, yet we should remember, that we have been trained up from our very yoz_ith in the nurture and admonition of the word of God, and after all, how much has the divine mercy and long suffering of God still to bear with us! They were born and brought up under the influence of gross and heathenish superstition, have to combat with many perverted inbred principles, of which we have scarcely any conception; and should this not induce us to forbearance towards them, and more fervent intercession with the Lord for them ? yea we do resolve by the race of the Lord to continue in this our duty towards God, and our benighted fellow sinners; we will not despise the day of small things. The Lord has commenced to gather a few first fruits as his inheritance from among this people; we take it as a pledge of still greater things to come, being assured, that the idols of India must fall, and with it, self-love, pride, and indifference all be brought low, and the Lord alone be exalted in that day. At penticost last year we had the privilege to receive two families by baptism within the pale of the Church of Christ; their names are, Gabriel and Isabella.

There came others who applied for being received, and though they expressed their ready consent as to the truth of the word of God, it was their chief object to get a livelihood from the Mission, and we were 1n consequence obliged to dismiss them with an exhortation to repentance Could we relieve them of their tem 1 wants, we doubt not, thers might be some also of the character of the spiritual poor to whom the Gospel is preached. It often happen that those sent away in this way find afterwards employment with a rich Mapilla merchant, and from a kind of acknos wledgment for the relief thus obtained, be- come converts of the false prophet. Had the mission the means to give such persons some useful employment, as for instance, work in a plantation, or so, we are inclined to believe, that it would be attended with blessings to them. Such an undertaking, however cannot be ade by a missionary society, but we should greatly rejoice if some Christian friends would give this idea their serious consideration, and thereby further not merely civilization, but the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom in India. A colony of this kind must of course rest on Christian principles, and none be admitted but those who are willing to be instructed in, and to walk according to the precepts of the word of God We ar glad to state, that Theophil the youth mentioned in the Tellicherry report since his arrival here with his mother, continues to walk steadily, and his conduct gives us satisfaction. On the 21st September after a pubhc confession of his error, and expressing his firm belief in his Saviour, he was received back again into the congre- gation We cannot leav ntouched an occurrence which happened in our at con (*I'D("" Lu\l on, and which caused us much pain and grief it is, that a number of Tamil Christians have separated irom us. The cause of it is, that we would not give pl 1ce to their caste prejudices. We regret it the more, since from their scriptural knowledge, and their influential It would be tedi- station in life, we had hoped better things of them ous to rela the absurd arguments, by which they wanted to prove, that caste was not merely a name, but a divine institution, and that to speak “against it amounted almost to that of fighting against God. For three years we bore with their weakness in patience, hoping rhat f by the grace of God they would be converted from this error of their 1l - 61 ways ; but since this caste monster has set his face like a flint, ~our duty towards the Lord, and towards the congregation, collected from among the heathen, required us even at the hazard of a disruption to put a stop to it, We explained to them privately and openly, that a body of christians ought to be swayed by heart-felt brotherly love to each other, and that caste, that great barrier to spiritual unity, stood in its way ; that it was expressly against the will of Christ, who prayed that His disciples might be one among themselves, as He and His Father were one; that as'we desired to walk according to the injunc- tions of the scriptures, we could not countenance their caste distinc- tions, as then our assembly would be like a medley of Jehovah’s and Baal’s worshippers: and that consequently, if they wished to attend our divine services, nothing of their caste prejudices should find place. This was asking too much, according to their ideas, and since they We were refused to give up their points, they separated from us. deeply grieved at the step they took, but the will of the Lord in this matter was too plain to be misunderstood. In a direct way we can now of course not do any thing for them, but our prayers, that the Lord would enlighten and deliver them, follow them. These caste distinc= tions in India are indeed a radical evil, and may the Lord give grace and strength to all those of our brethren, who have still to lament over 1t, to persecute it, and to give it no peace, until it is banished from within the pale of Christ’s Church. By the arrival of Mrs. Fritz a new branch of Missionary labour has been commenced, which until now we had it not in our power to pro- secute, that is, the instruction of females. This boarding school was opened with seven girls, and within a short time 6 more were added, 80 that it numbers now 18. The Lord grant his blessing to teacher and children, and make it to prosper. Every Saturday a number of poor, on an average aboat 150, assem- ble to receive the charity of the residents, when the word of God is preached to them, by one of our Catechists, It is a sad spectacle to See so many cripples, blind, and leprous; but yet more so to behold their awful ignorance, and utter indifference about their eternal welfare.. The words of exhortation are received with coldness, and the reply often is, * this is . my destiny what can I do;” still we go on hoping and praying, that the Lord would open the hearts of some of them and draw them unto Him. With regard to the Nayadis Establishment at Cotacal, we are are glad to be able to say, that there has been a progressive tho’ a slow improve- ment in it, Some of the children are now able to read, and this small 62 beginning will be sufficient to convince the Natwes around, that they are mnot those masked Tigers and Hyenas they took them to be, but beings like themselves, capable of instruction, and mental imprevement. Though the padcy field, cultivated by the Nayadis, yielded last year a better crop than formerly, it is still insufficient to support them for the whole year, and therefore, to gain the point in view (viz) their temporal and spiritual improvement, we are obliged to make up what is wanting for their livelihood ; besides having to defray from private resources the monthly wages of those who superintend the Establishment. Till now the Lord has through some of His people graciously provided us with the required means, so that at the close of this year we can again And this encourages us to hope for the say, we have lacked nothing. future, We would add, that the care and management of the whole Establishment now devolves on our Mission, since the Government connexion with it has ceased. We avail ourselves of this opportunity to offer in the name of these poor people, their warmest thanks to the kind friends who have taken their misery to heart, and feel it their privilege and duty to ameliorate it. May the Lord’s blessing rest upon them and theirs, and may they see the fulfilment of the promise, He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord, and that which he hath given he will pay him again. Schools. We were enabled during the last year to establish four new ones (besides the five already in existence in and around Calicut) at Coilandy, fourteen miles north of this, The schools at Calicut are on the whole irregularly attended, since most of our scholars are from the poorer class, who, whenever an opportunity offers for earning a liveli- hood, leave the school and their natural sloth added to the great indiffe~ rence with which they regard mental improvement, contributes not a Besides this, the schoolmasters themselves are so -counsti- little to it. tuted, that they care very little, whether any improvement is going on or not. Exhortations have in general little effect, it is only deduction We must therefore of their pay that acts like a stimulus ‘with them. be satisfied, if the boys advance so far that they can read and write with some fluency; of Geography and History we can scarcely think. There is moreover in the Malayalim Mission a great want of elementary school books, and though we have prepared a few in manuscript, we cannot have them printed, since the expeuse for the same would be too much for our society, which is already overburdened. The atten- R ——— dance of the four new schools at Coilandy is much more regular than of the former, and the labour among them is more promising, as the boys in country villages are more simple and uncorrupted thau in larger P 63 towns, They had, however at first a great many prejudices against us but we are glad to say, that they are now getting more familiar, since they perceive more of the real nature of our coming among them. These schools prepare us often the way to visit the parents in their houses, and speak to them abeut divine things. On the contrary, at such places where we have no schools, people are apt at our approach to run away, and hide themselves from fear of being polluted, by coming in contact with us. Our work is one of time and patience, yet we know, that we shall reap in due time, if we faint not; and shall have our hope fulfilled, in seeing many brought to the knowledge of the Lord. In looking once more back on the occurrences of last year, we have much cause to be humbled and ashamed, on account of the many in- stances of our unfaithfulness and unbelief; yet we desire to throw ourselves and our work at the feet of Jesus our great High Priest, re- questing Him to give us grace to be more faithful and diligent in his vineyard, and to grant, that soon the fulness of the Gentiles may be brought in, and also Israel be saved.

The Lord let His countenance shine upon them, and give them that peace, which the world can nei- ther give, nor take away. We must repeat again, that our Society stands greatly in need of funds, and we would solicit afresh the help of our Indian friends. We often feel, that we are obliged to make large demands on their liberality, but as our simple desire is, to lead souls to the knowledge of the Lord, and to work in love and harmony with the various bodies of Christ’s church, we trust, the lovers of His cause will give us their ready support as hitherto. Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not. Amen, The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. S. HesicH, J: M. Frirz, H. ALBRECHT J. C. LEHNER, G. H.
