THE

NINTH REPORT

OF THE

GERMAN EVANGELICAL MISSION,

IN THE

CANARA, SOUTHERN MAHRA’J?THA

ANID MALAYALAM PROVINGCES;

AND

ON THE NILACGIRIS.

BANGALORE:

PRINTED AT THE WESLEYAN MISSION PRESS

1849.

REPORT.

——= OB O

Tar fourteenth year of our Mission having passed we beg to pre-

sent the customary report.

It is this time our pleasing duty to set out

with sizcere and grateful acknowledgements of the generous liberality

with which the extraordipary appeal, we were compelled to make last

year, has been responded to by our Friends in a manner far exceeding

our highest expectations.

Upwards of eighteen thousand rupees have

been contributed to the funds of our Mission, which were at a low

ebb indeed, in the end of 1247, by the Christian public in the South

and West of India.

And we have to value this rich gift of love the

higher, as the past year has laid a taxation unusually heavy upon the

benevolence of the Indian public.

Hearty thanks to all our large-

hearted Brethren and Friends, and praise and glory to Him, who has

remembered the necessities of His servants and supplied them out of

the treasury of His Grace.

This our ninth report contains nothing very remarkable or extra-

ordinary.

God be thanked we are all still alive, and at work in His

service among the people of this country, for whom a day of Grace, we

believe has come,

We pray and liope, that the Lord of all grace will

turn this wilderness into a garden,

Our employment and experience

does indeed beur a strong resemblance, to the situation of some bands

of workmen, sent into the jungles to commence cultivation. We have

cleared some patches of ground by cutting, and burning, and digging,

by hard labour ; and we rejoice in our work and manner of life, as

much as any other backwood’s man, who turns a piece of wilderness

into a general abode of humanity

In some places we are sowing the

good seed, as it were among the very stumps and roots of trees, among

the very rocks and bushes, in others the ground begins to have the as-

pect of a regular ficld, or a pleasant garden

Still we are surrounded

by a wilderness, ever ready to encroach again, upon the hard won

ground, the old vegetation is ever attempting to spring up with new

luxuriance, and the sound of the roaring lion, seeking whom he may

.devour, is often heard. Ner’are the labourers sent by the Lord of the

4

country, to take possession of the wilderness exempt from the hard-

ships and dangers incident to their situation.

They suffer now from

the cold of unbelief, now from the fever of impatience, and in the heat

of the day or in the loneliness of the dark night their spirits often sink.

However, progress is made, and the wilderness will in due time, it may

be when our own bodies will have been .sown into this ground, become

a field, a garden of the Lord, full of plants of His own planting, of trees

of righteousness, of fountains and rivers of living waters.

Thus saith

Faith ; let us believe Her words and pray and work for their fullfilment,

while it is day.

And may the Lord himself give His Amen aod His

blessing.

MANGALORE STATION.

1.—CONGREGATION.

Rev. C. L. Greiner, Mrs. Greiner ; Rev. A, Biihrer, Mrs Biihrer;

Rev. B. Deggeler.

We have passed through another year, by the mercy and faithful-

ness of our God. Many and great have been His favours, and we de-

sire to praise and glorify His holy name, 1 bowing low before His

face and humbling curselves for so many sins, infirmities, and short

comings of which we must plead ourselves guilty.

The past year has also been full of trials with regard to the state

of our congregation, but the Lord gives us grace to believe, that the

riches of His merey have not yet ceased neither shall ever do so; but

that He will accomplish His work in His people.

His grace has been

visibly manifested in several, during the past year, by reproving,

awakening, humbling and healing them. But many, we are sorry to

say, are yet without a brokea and contrite heart, and not having expe-

are more willing to hear the word than in any other place. The man

o

whose baptism has been mentioned above, is from that place.

Two

young men there (one of them a Fisherman, the other a Toddy drawer)

have been impressed with the truth and have joined us.

Both of them

had to undergo a hard struggle,

The one was sorely tried by his

mother and other relations; they endeavoured by entreaties and threat-

enings to hinder him from taking the fatal step, all their attempts were

in vain.

The other one, after having left his wife and house, was told

But the

that he sheuld be received again into his mother’s house,

people of his caste refused to receive him as they were afraid that thus

their caste would be destroyed ; still they tried all they could to per-

suade him to return to their caste,

He did not listen, but a fortnight

later they succeeded, with the help of some influential farmers, in get-

ting him first into their own house, and after sometime to a distant

village, and arrangements were made to receive him back.

But great

anxiety of mind was felt by him; in the night preceding the day, on

which he was to be received again, he made his escape and in the night

reached Moolky, where he took refuge in the house of one of our

Christians, and sent for Titus, (our Catechist at Utchilla) who

came at once, and, on finding him really sorry for his weakness, sent

him to Mangalore, where he was since regularly instructed.

It is but

natural that this affair occasioned no small noise at Utchilla and in

the neighbourhood, and many, who used to come to the house and

hear the word preached to them, are so much frightened that they now

avoid and hate us as most dangerous people. This ill feeling, however,

has somewhat sabsided, and it seems that the Lord will glorify Him-

self still at that place

We shall try to visit the place at least once a

month, for a couple of days,

We are very anxious to get a piece of

ground at that place, which might be cultivated by the people who

have left their home for Christ’s sake, and are thrown out of employ-

ment, in consequence.

We intend to apply to Government for that

purpose, and shall feel very thankful if our request is granted.

Two young men, who expressed a desire to become Christians,

and two Christian families, have settled on our little Colony Bolmah

in the course of the year,

Buat we have been under the painful neces-

sity of removing one of the families on account of the fall of its head,

a man in whom we placed great confidence.

In August Enos was

placed there as a Catechist, to help on the Christians and to preach to

the heathen in the vicinity. But we regret to say that there is in him

a want of energy, as well as of that faith which worketh through love ;

one of the young men (mentioned above) left the place again, but

6

another one took his place ; and there are now three who receive daily

instructions with a view to their baptism ; another one, we hope will

shortly be added to their number

Br. Greiner undertook a Missionary tour to the north of Manga-

lore, on which he-was absent for five weeks, two of which were spent

at Utchilla, to confirm those who on former occasions, had shown a

desire to hear the word, and to preach to those who had never heard

the gospel.

At Cap, the member of an influential family was not far

from the kingdom of God ; but it would seem that he has quite fallen

away, as he was no more seen at Utchilla, though he had been advised

to seek instraction there, the place being but 6 miles distant from his

native village. At Udapy, Karkalla, Moodbiddery, Goorpoor, Bantwal,

and Feringapet the people, with a very few exceptions, were deaf to

the truth. In the last named place only a drunkard expressed a desire

to join us.

The girls school has been carried on in the usual way:

we have met many encouragements as well as trials.

May the Holy

Spirit work in the hearts of the children; so that the Father may be

glorified in the Son.

Three girls have left the school in the course of

the year, two of whom were married to young men belonging to the

congregation, and one has entered the service of Mrs, Ammann,

Another girl, who had come of her own accord, went away again after

some time.

Mrs Greiner being absent on account of ill health, the

care and superintendence of the school entirely devolved upon Mrs.

Biihrer.

The Tamil congregation at present numbers 38 members, who

have regularly divine service on Sundays.

9. The Lord has humbled us in different ways, during the past

year, but also comforted us according to his merey. I could not itin-

erate as much as I might have wished, being kept at home partly by

Br. Greiner’s absence and partly by indisposition and business.

have been permitted to baptize a young man, a peasant, of whose

sincerity I was convinced ; and who has since proved himself true un-

der the many trials that have befallen him.

His name

Shortly after his baptism be was married to a young girl of our School,

and sent to Bolmah,

I made some short tours in the neighbourhood of Mangalore—to

rd

e

Bolmah, Suratkul, and Utchila.

At Bolmah the Roman Catholics are

very ignorant, they even join the heathen in the sacrifices which they

offer to the demons.

Many of the heathen are very much afraid of

our visits ; they believe that we wish to make them Christians by some

craft or enchantment.

When conversing with some heathen at Su-

ratkul, they objected to my opposition to their idolatrous practices by

asking, how it came that so many rich and great people were attached

to their mode of worship ; why government sanctioned it by supporting

their temples and priests.

1 was told. in another place, that a gentle-

man (whose name they mentioned) bhad given a considerable sum to

their temple.

One of them asked, why God had not destroyed the

devil after the fall of Adam, but allowed him to go on doing so much

evil ; he thought that the ignorant people might perhaps believe us,

but that the better informed (to whom he thought himself to belong)

never would. His objections were answered out of the Ist Chapter

of the Romans and the 11th Chapter of Matthew, but the poor con-

ceited man thought himself wiser than God and His word.

I visited several places in the neighbourhood of Utchila, where I

spent twelve days.

I preached, one day, at the house of a priest; se-

veral of the people boasted that their demons were able to heal the

sick, to cleanse the lepers, etc.

A poor leper, just present, heard

their sayings and called out: Sir, look upon me, my hands and feet

are a proof of the healing power of the demons, I have vowed and

brought sacrifices to them, but they have not helped me.

This silen-

ced the people, but a woman replied : It is the punishment of your

sins,

Two weddings were celebrated on one day in the house of a

toddy drawer.

Several hundred people assembled on this occasion. I

went to the house with Isaac and Titus, and we had some quiet con-

versation with many of the guests.

My text was the marriage feast

Some enemies who came in from Mulkee induced the

them to be quiet, but in vain, and we were obliged to retire.

After

a while Titus and Isaac returned to the house and had the pleasure of

preaching for about an hour to attentive listeners.

In January I visited the great festival at Udapy, Samuel accom-

panied me; we chanced to meet his father in a Bazaar on the road ;

he turned his back to us and would not say a word to his son.

At

Udapy I preached about the fall of man and the way of salvation

through Christ ; but I was prevented from entering fully into the sub-

ject by the constgnt objections raised by some Brahmins,

8

On the evening of the same day I went again to the Bazaar to

preach. In the neighbourhood of the temple I found a crowd of peo-

ple, occupied with preparations for the feast. A young Brahmin,

with some others, came and asked what I wanted and why I had come

here. Ireplied that I had a message worthy of their acceptation, as it

was able to save all who believed it; he smiled contemptuously and

retired. Meanwhile a number of people had gathered round me and

1 conversed with them for some time, till I was interrupted by the

young Brahmin who forced himself through the crowd, took hold of

my hand and said :

We shall not let you go, unless you shew us the

God whom you preach.

I tried to convince him of the folly of his

request by telling him that God was a spirit and cannot be seen by

sinners as we are, moreover that he could not shew me his own soul

or spirit. But all my reasoning was in vain ; he insisted upon my

some cried out:

Yes, he had said it, he must shew him; but most of

the people were silent. I requested them to be quiet and to hear me,

but on seeing that the noise only increased, I went off. The crowd

followed and the Brahman continued close to my side ; they made a

dreadful noise ; I wanted to go to the Cutcherry but missed the walk ;

at last I got into a street which leads to the public Bungalow. Here

the noise increased and stones were thrown at me.

I requested some

people with whom I had conversed in the morning, to put a stop to

this disorder. They reproved the crowd. I then hastened on till I

was beyond their reach, and reached the Bungalow. After some time

a peon was sent from the Cutcherry requesting me to point out the

first, to do so, but thinking that we might again be prevented from

preaching in the Bazaar, 1 pointed him out and he was taken into cus-

tody, but released next morning at my request.

Next day I visited a village in the neighbourhood, where I met

with some people, (among whom the headman of the place) with whom

I had some conversation to which they listened attentively ; after I had

left they sent me a present of cocoanuts. In the evening I again went

to the Bazaar and preached close by a shop.

Some people listened,

guage. Some brahmins, however, by abusing and mocking, soon

compelled me to retreat. On Tharsday I again went to the village in

which I had been on the preceding day ; I was able to speak at seve-

ral houses of the way of salvation. The people listened and assented

9

to what I said, but were very shy. On my return I met the headman

who took me to his house, where I met some people from the neigh-

bourhood of Mulkee, who listened to what I preaclied, and said that

they had heard the same words from the Padre at Mulkee.

My

conversation was too long for the headman; he repeatedly tried to in-

terrupt me by offering to take me to another house, and when I left he

was nowhere to be found. Still afterwards he brought some cocoanuts

for me to the Bungalow.

In the evening I went to the bazaar, where I met a brahmin sit-

ting before the house and reading ‘ Biblical stories” which he had re-

ceived from us in Mangalore. He asked me to sit down and to explain

them to him, which I did gladly.

On Friday Br. Deggeller and myself went to the road which leads

to the sea, and was full of people going to bathe; on their return we

tried to speak to them, but they were not very willing to listen, think-

ing that the waters of the sea were better able to wash away their sins

than the blood of the Lamb of God.

After dinner we resumed our

post.

Some people who had come from the Ghéats, listened very ate

tentively, and even followed Br. Deggeller to the Bungalow to be

spoken and read to, at the very time in which the cart with the idol

was drawn through the streets.

It is a great pity, that these simple

people cannot read. A brahmin who passed by and heard that we

were Padres, said.

¢ If these are Padres, you may be sure of all their

words being untrue.”

On the road we met twelve fishermen ; I asked

them what they were doing; they replied that they had just now drawn

their god Krishna on the cart and had but received the third part of

a pice each for their pains.

On my asking them, why so little, they

replied : the god whose cart we have pulled is very poor. I told them

that they had more profit from carrying a gentleman than from serving

such dumb and dead idols, and preached to them the living God, rich

unto all who call upon him.

obliged to live in a miserable small house close to the unfinished build-

ing. The ruins of his former palace are still to be seen at Vittla,

The first visit which I received was of the headman of the place, who

talked a great deal about the foily of loving the world and seeking

riches, and tried to convince me of the identity of their Shastras with

ours.

But, when I came to speak of idel worship, he defended it by

saying that those who know God, contemplate Him in the image.

Another visitor did not hesitate to say that all their Shastras and ce-

remonies had been invented by men, that Jesus Christ was the great

God who had created us, and that we ought to love Him, but the peo-

ple, added he, are like the young birds which, after having been hatched

replied that he thought it was enough, if he did it before his death.

When I went to the bazaar in the evening and on the following days,

I found scarcely any body, a company of tumblers attracting all peo-

ple

On Sunday morning the above named man with the headman

and another one who is employed in the Cutcherry paid me a visit.

We had some conversation about their system of pantheism, and I

tried to shew to them the impossibility of the world, and all that is in

it being an illusion, and, as it were, a play of god, and to shew that

it was the devil who

played with men by the tricks of idolatry.

This led to the question who the devil was : and in course of the reply

I entered more fully into the truths of the gospel, and finished by

reading to them the st and 2nd Chapters of Genesis. I gave them

the gospels in Tulu. With the exception of these people but few came

to ask for books.

The Rajah who knew some of our brethren, sent me an invitation

by two of his people with whom I went to his house in the evening.

He received me in the half finished house, where we conversed about

the word of God and the way of salvation, as well as about Geogra-

formation about medicine and shewed me an old English book treating

of this science, which he was unable to read, and of which I could not

make much myself. He invited me to spend a féw days with him and

sent for my luggage to Vittla, giving orders at the same time that all

we wanted should be given out of his own stores, On Monday we hai

some long conversations.

Two things the poor man was particularly

anxious to learn: whether there was no medicine which might cure all

diseases and prevent death ? and whether the art of changing common

metals into gold was known in Europe,

I was, of course, obliged to

answer both questions in the negative, but took this opportunity of

telling him, how death had lost its terrors for those who have found

forgiveness of their sins and peace with God by faith in Jesus Christ,

and how miserable an endless life would be in such a world of sin and

suffering.

He also wished to be informed about Magnetism, etc. and

to know the particulars of the place and circumstances, of the future

world ; but easily comprehended how we, being sinful and mortal men,

cannot have adequate ideas of the nature of an eternal God and of

heavenly things.

I explained to him, how all that was revealed to us

in the word of God of the glories of heaven and the terrors of hell was

sufficient for us.

This again reminded him of death, a thought which

seemed to be dreadful to his mind, and he asked why faith in Christ

which was said to take away our sins, did not deliver us from death

also, which is the wages of sin.

I replied by telling him of the eternal

life which is given to believers, and of the resurrection of the body,

which doctrine I illustrated by reading to him the 5th Chapter of John,

This led to the doctrine of redemption, in general, and I pointed out

to him the want of real joy and peace on the part of a sinner,

who

tries to be reconciled to God by his own works, as well as the peace

and power of those who believe in Christ.

He then asked, whether it

was not sufficient to believe that Chri-t was the Son of God, and to

pray in His name to the Father?

Why it was necessary, by forsaking

caste and eating with Soodras to be exposed to disgrace and persecu-

tion.

I replied that the question simply was, whether caste was ac-

cording to, or against the will of God.

After being convinced of its

being contrary to His will, the Christian no more cares for the opinion

or hatred of the world, bat forsakes it, in obedience to God whom he

serves. I added that men, whom self love has set at variance with each

other, are not only recoaciled to God by faith in Christ, but taught to

love and esteem each other as members of one family, which precludes

the keeping of caste, and that the forsaking of those things which are

Lo s

contrary to the will of God, is included in the open confession of Christ

commanded to the believer, With regard to disgrace and persecutiog,

12

I told him, that Chriét had called those blessed who suffer for His

sake, and that, in order to be partakers of His glory, we must take a

share in His sufferings.

Moreover I assured him that true faith in

Christ as the Son of God and the Saviour of sinners, creates quite new

views and feelings with regard to caste and all other things.

The people of the Rajah, too, conversed with me in his absence.

All of them expressed their conviction that idolatry, caste, etc. were

but the inventions of men and the product of ignorance; that they only

took part in the idolatrous ceremonies for the sake of their people,

without attaching any value to them, that they did not belong to those

who teach salvation by outward works (Karmamarga) but to those

who strive to attain to it by inward knowledge (Gnanamarga.)

They

were very obliging, and were almost offended at my leaving them so

soon. I gave books to all of them. The Rajah received ¢ the Pilgrims

Progress” and two gospels.

May the blessing of God rest upon the

word preached.

1I. BOARDING SCHOOL.

My time during the past year, was entirely occupied by attending

to this school,

In the mornings T have given instruction in Reading,

Writing, Arithmetic, Biblical History, and Geography, assisted by

Christian Hamsika, and in the afternoons [ have superintended the

boys at their work.

employed as writers.

We met with many difficulties in setting the boys to learn trades,

and it took a long time to make them understand that these trades

were calculated to supply them in an honest and honourable way with

their daily bread.

During the first year they considered the work as

a kind of pastime, but when the charm of novelty was gone and they

saw that they must work in good earnest, some of them cried now and

then.

The parents, too, were foolish enough to think it a shame that

their boys should be employed in such a way. But we hope that, after

sometime, all will be convinced of the value of an independence secured

by the knowledge of useful trades.

One of the elder boys, who had, for years, tried our patience by

idleness, selfwill, and other sins, at last tried all he could to annoy us.

He was therefore sent to Cannanore to his mother, though he asked

pardon and permission to return to the School.

Two of the weavers have been married in the course of last year ;

one of them who has come from Tellicherry will probably return there

and instruct some of the elder boys in that institution in his trade.

We give to the unmarried weavers one fourth and to the married

ones five sixths of the profit of their work which will we hope enable

them after a few years to set up for themselves.

In the beginning of

October, T was compelled by ill health to leave Mangalore, and to go

to the Hills.

The change, under God’s blessing, has been beneficial ;

still I am far from well, and often feel that my constitution has suffered

a severe shock.

As the rest of the elder boys will shortly leave the school and the

younger will have a separate school of their own, I shall have more

time to devote myself to preaching and other direct Missionary labours,

for this purpose I have commenced the study of the Tulu language.

III. ENGLISH SCHOOL.

The past year has been an important time for this School ; “its

influence has grown and spread.

The attendance has never been bet-

ter, and tho’ fruit does not now appear, yet we are confident that the

Lord will give us another harvest in due time, as He has done here-

tofore.

The first class have had the following lessons: Reading of the

Bible, Universal History, Geography, Grammar, Translating from

Canarese into English and vice versa ; composition ; and Arithmetic.

The second and third classes read the Bible, and were instructed in

Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, the rudiments of English Grammar, ete.

The fourth class learn to spell and write and commit to memory easy

sentences. Three lads of the first class act as monitors during seve-‘

ral hours of the day.

We cannot but feel that the organization of the school is yet ca-

pable of much improvement, to which we are, however, approaching by

a regular course of lessons and strict order. Still more I feel the want

of hearts open to the influence of the word of God.

At times I think

I see signs of interest and feeling in some face, but such impressions

appear to be but passing.

May the Lord give me faith to pray and

work patiently, with true and self-denying love.

May he have mercy

upon these poor souls and cause at least some of them to hear Iis

voice and to follow Him.

talent for the work, I have of late given him an assistant in the person

to His honour and to the glory of His holy name.

V. PRINTING ESTABLISHMENT.

The Press has commenced to do some work besides supplying our

own Mission as hitherto, with the books required for its own use.

A

translation of a school book of Chambers’ for the use of the Canarese

Schools in the Southern Mahratta Country which are under the direc-

tion of the Bombay ¢ Board of Education” was printed during the

year.

The Press has also been employed by the Canarese Bible Re-

vision Committee, for the printing of a first draught of the translation

of the greater part of the New Testament, which they submit to the

criticisms of all Canarese Missionary brethren before the final revision

is undertaken.,

A commencement has also been made in the printing

of a ¢ Bibliotheca Carnataca,” or an edition of all Canarese Authors of

note, ancient and modern,—a work which is carried on at the expense

of one of the most liberal friends of Missions in Soathern India whose

name is too well known to require mentioning

The object of this

undertaking is to furnish the Missionaries, employed in the service of

the Gospel among the Canarese, with a complete materiel for master-

ing their language.

One hundred copies only are, therefore, printed

of each book.

My labours during the past year have more particularly been di-

villages and houses during my visits in different parts of the country

My aim was to know nothing

but Christ crucified ; and thus my preaching, though it varies accord-

ing to the difference of hearers and circumstances, may be briefly

summed up in these truths., God has given to us, poor and hell worthy

sinners, his only Son to be a propitiation for our sins, and to give life

to the world ; by his blood forgiveness of sin aad eternal life are of-

fered to all men; repent and believe

We think that such an offer

ought o be great and precious for the heart of a poor sinner; but

most who hear it scem to be little interested in it. As long as we speak

of our sinful state and the justice of God many are attentive and ap-

pear interested ; but if we mention Christ crucified, they look indif-

ferent and drowsy ; most of them think that these things are good for

the white people but not for the black, and this prejudice is not easily

removed by a mere contradiction

Others make the objection: How

could God suffer, die and rise again ? Others have their hearts harden-

ed by fatalism ; saying that all we do is in vain ; what God has written

into mans skull must come to pass, be it good or bad, happiness or

misery.

Others say that they do not want salvation through Christ ;

they believe that fasting on the eleventh day of the month, gifts to

brahmins, or the service of gods and demons will procure them for-

giveness of sins.

Others believe that by pronouncing the name of

Narayana or Rama their sins are devoured as wood by the fire. There

are also those, who, from fear of being bewitched by our preaching,

I have (with few exceptions) no more heard of the rumour that was

afloat among the people last year, that we give a powder to them to

entice them to adopt our caste.

But the enemy has tried by another

means to hinder the power of the word. The people had been made

to believe that I myself had brought offerings to a certain demon,

because the troubles he gave me were too great for me, and many gave

me to understand that they believed this rumour, by saying that their

demon service was far from being vain, as even such as believed in one

God, worshipped the demons in secret.

The belief in these demons

is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the Tulu people, among whom

I have to labour, and many of them defend it with great warmth,

They believe that there are a great many angels, servants of God, who,

these give them the food (which consists in the offerings of rice, fowls,

In their public sacrifices, the priest and another worshipper

of demons pretend to be possessed by the spirit which is to be appeas-

ed by the offerings, and usually promises, as an angel before god, to

do good to the sacrificing people

he not unfrequently concludes by

exhorting the people to further offerings

There are demons who are supposed to be the guardian, not only

of houses and families, but of whole villages ; for these a great feast is

kept at least once a year

at which all the inhabitants of the village

present their offerings, and people come from a distance to offer such

gifts as they may have vowed to the demons, when in danger

Thus

these poor people are kept in constant fear and slavery ; and are the

have been permitted by him to be served by men

Even those who

somewhat feel the truth of the word of God, live in constant fear of

being killed by the demon, if they were to give up their worship

There, no doubt, are some whose belief in the demons is somewhat

shaken ; but, in general, the fear of them is deeply rooted in the hearts

Nothing short of the grace of Christ is able vo loosen bonds like these;

year, with regard to our Missionary labours. We have been permitted

have been compelled, by illness to be less active ; Mr Albrecht, in

particular, was unable to work for several months on account of severe

indisposition which compelled him to go to the coast for three months,

from whence he has returned strengthened, but not perfectly well. But

in the same measure in which our strength failed, did the Lord reveal

his might by calling wandering sheep to His flock. Thus He strength-

ened our faith by visible proofs of His unchangeable desire to save those

who are lost.

We have been permitted in the course of the past year, to admit

into the church of Christ, ten adults and two little girls.

Six of these

are Tamulians, and four belonged to the Lingaites

Up to that time

we had only now and then been permitted to baptize a Tamulian, still

we longed for the time in which the Lord would open a door to us,

among the Canarese population of this district.

By the conversion of

these four persons this longing desire of our hearts has been fulfilled

and the foundation for a Canarese congregation has thus been laid.

These four converts are: an old Linga priest—a young man formerly

a cloth shopkeeper—the wife of a headman of a village, who still is a

heathen, and the daughter of respestable heathen parents, who have

given their consent to her being married to the young man mentioned

above. The Linga priest, whose name is Peter, is an old man, though

still strong and of an energetic character.

He has nearly forgotten

how to fead and to write, but has a sound understanding; He formerly

led a wild and vagabond life; at the same time he was a dreaded sor-

cerer and much sought for as an exorcist.

He was convinced, some

years ago, of the falsehood of the Hindoo religion by the reading of such

passages of Canarese Shastras, whose authors reject idolatry and caste,

and prophecy of the establishment of true religion. At the same time

he was advised by two other men, who despised the worship of idols

and keeping of caste, to practice these doctrines by joining those, who,

though in secret, assemble to eat meat, and eggs, and drink spirits

to prove that they believe all men to be of one caste. He propagat-

ed these doctrines and gave such feasts, to which he invited people of

20

different caste, on which occasions verses alluding to the folly of idola-

try and caste were sung,

Some years ago he heard of us from others

and began to feel interested in what he heard ; a year and a half ago

At

he heard the gospel preached by one of us on a missionary tour.

that time he was a disciple of the priest (mentioned in the last report)

who had come with many of his followers to us, to become a Christian.

But as that man continued to delay this step, the Linga priest resolved

to make the beginning himself and to separate from the rest.

So he

joined us.

He has been with us for upwards of a year, and gladdens

our hearts by his sincerity, and his zeal in making known the way of

salvation to others.

quaintances, and we have reason to hope, that some of them may follow

his good example,

not renounced caste. He was fully convinced of its truth after a short

four months, and we cannot but rejoice on his account. As he is talent-

ed, and has much zeal and love, we hope that he may soon be made a

useful fellowlabourer to us, and partly he is such already by the grace

of God.

In October we were visited by three heathen who had felt

the drawing of the Father to the Son, in a village no less than 100 miles

distant from Dharwar, Br. Layer, writes thus about this visit, On the

10th of October three Lingaites, two of whom were priests and one a

money changer made their appearance at my window.

On my asking

them the reason of their visit, they replied that, by the reading of our

books, they had been convinced of the folly of idolatry, and that they

wished to become disciples of Jesus Christ,

But as this was impos-

sible in their own village on account of the persecution to which such

a step would expose them, they had come to ask us to allow them to

live with us.

The above-mentioned young man had some time previ-

ously given me an account of these men, but I was both astonished

and rejoiced to find by many conversations that I had with them in

the course of four days, that they were not only seeking, but had al-

ready found the truth. They had been led to the faith in the following

nmanner.

People of their village, who had received tracts from Mis-

sionaries in distant villages or on pilgrimages, brought them to one of

21

the priests (who was well versed in their Linga Shastras) requesting

him to read these tracts and to communicate the contents to them.

He did so, and by this reading

was gradually convinced of the truth

of these books.

The other priest, his brother, and the money changer

read them too aud received similar impressions.

From that time all

the three tried to procure as many tracts as they cculd.

They read

them with great zeal, talked them over and were more and more con-

vineed of the truths they contained,

About six months ago they were

confirmed’ in their faith by the young man, who visited their village

He daily conversed with them during his stay of twenty days, gave

them the Gospels and Christian books

and even induced them to go

with him to a temple at some distance where nobody could observe

them, and there to kiteel down with him in prayer to the living God,

thus converting an abode of Satan into a Sanctuary. I was astonished

to see how much knowledge of divine things they had acquired. They

knew by heart long passages of tracts, and were acquainted with all the

leading events related in the gcspels.

They showed, moreover, such

a clear insight into the articles of the Christian faith, the doctrines of

the trinity, the fall and redemption of man, the necessity of the new

birth, ete, that I can fully approve, what a pious gentleman, after

having repeatedly conversed with them, has told me, viz; that they

give the impression of being Christians of some years standing. The

confession of their faith in Christ and their hope of salvation through

him was such as one ouly hears from those who are rooted in the faith

by grace.

On seeizg and hearing all these things, we could not but say.

“ What hatb God wrought !” Not by might, nor by power, but by my

Spirit ” saith the Lord God of hosts.

only once seen and heard a missionary, and that was six years ago,

and at a time when they were indifferent about what they heard. .

I add that, on a Missionary tour that I lately made, I visited

these men in their home, and found them to be the same as they had

shewn themselves here.

One of them requires some time to settle all

yea even anxious to listen to our preaching; this

encourages us to hope that the Lord may shortly bid the dead bones

to stir and live. Sometimes the people have very confused ideas about

spiritual things, as may be seen by the following circumstance.

In a

discourse with some people, in which we endeavoured to prove that

the creator of heaven and earth is the only true God

one of them re

lated the following story which is well known among them

“ A female (a worshipper of the Goddess Yellamma,) and a Linga

priest travelled together; they unexpectedly came to a large river and

had nothing to cross it

The woman takes a large pumpkin, sits in it

and calling upon her goddess with all her might, safely reaches the

opposite shore

The Linga priest spreads his cloth upon the water,

seats himself upon that, and, calling upon Shiva, safely reaches the

middle of the stream

here he begins to fear

The woman advises

him to call upon Yellamma, he does so and is drowned.”

This, the

arrator observed

is a proof that it is quite indifferent which God or

idol we worship, provided that we do it in perfect faith

Another

man to whom we endeavoured to shew the folly of worshipping the

priests, sinful men as himself, replied : A tree is full of fine Mangoes;

I wish to get one,

but must throw 10 or 20 stones before I can suc-

ceed.

Just so T may be deceived by 10 or 20 priests, but at last I

may meet with one who can take away sins.’

Some shew by their opposition that the gospel has pncked them

to the heart

A bigotted Linga priest

who has a school of about 30

boys in a neighbouring village, caused the pepper in a shop close to a

place in which we were preaching to be stirred, and was glad when

Schools

We had seven schools during the past year, viz, § boy’s

23

We are sorry to say that the schools do not appear so promising as we

could wish, in consequence of our having so frequently been prevented

by sickness to superintend them

Still the children have mot only

been taught those things which will tend to make them useful for this

life, but also those things which we hope may prove the means of sal-

vation to some of them

One of the girls schools, being very badly

attended, was dissolved

We made an attempt in a reighbouring village to conduct a

school with the condition that we should defray half of the expense

connected with the school and the parents of the pupils the other half.

The parents were quite willing in words, but when the thing was to

be done, only a few kept their promise; the rest sent their boys to

other schools saying that

if they were to pay any thing

they would

rather give it to their priests by whom their boys would be instructed

in their own religion

Thus we were obliged to discontinue the

catechist in connection with the Missionaries at Belgaum

We are

often humbled by seeing so little of a real change of heart in these

children ; and we pray that the Holy Spirit may be poured out upon

them and upon us.

Every Monday alms contributed by the recidents of the station,

are distributed to nearly 100 poor people, on which occasions the

bread of life, which cometh from heaven and giveth life to the world

is offered to them also.

HOOBLY STATION.

Rev. J. Miller, Mrs Miiller ; Ilev. G. Wiirth.

Our hearts are filled with gratitude in reviewing the past year of

our labours. For although we cannot yet speak of great works of God

among the people around us, we find ourselves called upon to praise

and glorify the saving grace of Jesus as it was particularly revealed to

us, in the case of one of the members of our little flock.

The young convert Nagappa (a weaver from this place) whom

the Lord had given to us at the close of the last year, was exposed to

many temptations after having left his relatives.

One of his sisters,

and more especially his mother who is very much attached to him,

visited him frequently and tried by flattering promises to bring him

back from a way, which in their eyes was so disgraceful.

They told

him that he could not marry the girl to whom he had been engaged—

how miserable he would be if the missionaries were to leave Hoobly,

ete

Although we, of course admonished the young man, first to seek

the kingdom of God and his righteousness, he was left to his own judge-

ment and inclination.

When his relations saw that their promises and

threatenings far from making any impression on him, only gave him

the opportunity of proving to them the folly and sinfulness of their

idolatrous practices, out of the word of God, and even from their own

religious books, they tried other means. They pretended that they only

wished him to leave our house and to return to theirs, without chang-

ing his religion.

This might have appeared very harmless; but we

were well aware, that they wished only to get him into their power

again in order to ruin him or to send him to a distant village where he

would be entirely prevented from having any intercourse with us.

The young man remained firm amidst all these temptations.

So they

gave him up for lost and have siuce visited us less frequently.

When

we exhort them to open their eyes and to lay hold of salvation, they

invariably reply : Is it not written in your Shastras: thou shalt

honour thy father and thy mother ;’

why then, do you cause children

to leave their parents? Your religion is good for you; ours forus;

disappointed ; these disappointments did not shake his mind.

He has

employment, We endeavour to increase the knowledge in reading,

writing, &c. which he had acquired previous to his joining us. On

Missionary tours he makes himself useful as a reader and Catechist.

May the Spirit of God make him a witness to his people.

servants, a Tulu man,

Several youths, friends of Paul our new convert, pay frequent

One of them, at a time, wished to remain with us and to

become a christiaz.

But, as we could not see in him any eonvictions

firm enough to carry him through the trials and temptations connect-

ed with such a step, we did not think it advisable to comply with his

request.

These youths have, in fact, broken the rules of caste, by

having repeatedly eaten with the christian members of our household.

What they want is to feel in their hearts the need of a Savieur, We

made several Missionary tours, and have the pleasure to find that

The Lord has been very merciful to us during the past year; He

has graciously helped us through in all our trials, and safely led us

with His faithful hand.

Our work has been carried on in the usual way.

The word of

God has frequently been preached at this place and in the neighbour-

hood, and many souls have thus had the opportunity to hear it. Many

seem to be hardened and no more to take heed to the word which has

been preached to them for many years without working any change in

them,

Some who used te attend the Sunday services, have left off

joining us, so that they are less attended to than they used to be; we

cannot help exclaiming with an old Brother who had preached for

many years, “ The people are tired of hearing.”

The Colonists, Two of the families, who had been here for near-

ly seven years, not shewing any desire to become Christians, and ra-

ther proving a stumbling block to others, were “desired to leave us.

They have not yet done so; but will leave us in the course of this

year ; together with two other families connected with theirs ; so that,

with the exception of the servants, we shall only have two or three fa-

milies left.

May the Lord soon give us such as seek the welfare of

their souls in truth and sincerity.

The washerman of Bensur, men-

tioned in our last report, was sent away, as he clearly proved that he

did not love the Lord. DMany“people have come from different parts

of the country and expressed a wish to remain with us, but on being

told that they must work and earn their own bread, they changed

their minds.

Such experiences are very discouraging, bat we know

that the work is the Lord’s, and He will in due time bring it to a glo-

rious end; if we will but work faithfully, never forgetting that one soul

is of more value than the whole world.

Our Christians walk in the light of the word of God,

we have always to watch over them, particularly over the Tamil family.

The two men from Humbala visited their native village for some

weeks; but on their return to us, they expressed their disgust with

the state of things there, and their pleasure in being once more

with us.

The three men at Shakote and another one, the headman of a

village in the vicinity, who has joined them long since, assemble al-

most on every Sunday in the temple to read the word of God together;

—they often visit us here, with the exception of the headman who was

laid up for a long time with a very painful disease which prevented

him from moving, he is now nearly well by the use of medicines which

we have given him.

His disease was attributed by his friends and

relations to the vengeance of the idols whom he has left off worship-

ping, when 1 went to visit him on his sick bed, I found that such talks

did not confound him, but that he bore his sufferings with patient re-

signation.

These people find it very difficult to leave their families,

which have, as it were, one purse, into which

members are thrown, and from which all are supported, those, there-

family property, and are reduced to destitution.

of God.

Some time ago a family entered the poor l/xouse here ; not much

can as yet be said about them—A man came from a place in the South

and expressed a wish to become a christian ; but when he was desired

to work he ran away. Many would come if they might lead an idle life.

The school at Shakote was given up, as the elder boys were all

taken away to work in the fields, and no others came instead.

The

school at Kurtagaty was discontinued after a short time on account of

the schoolmasters bad behaviour.

The school at Assundy gets on

pleasingly ; sowme of the elder boys and girls have been married, but

others have come in their stead ; there are 22 boys and 3 girls in the

school, all of whom learn well.

Since that gracious visitation, (from the 16th September to the

17th October 1847) when it pleased the gracious Lord to pour upon

his little church here at Cannanore—upon black and white, His holy

Spirit, hallelujahs have filled our hearts and our houses by day and by

night, which was and is peculiarly striking and exceedingly refreshing

amongst the little black children, both at Chirakal amongst the boys

and at Tahy amongst the girls. Oh, what God does is great! The

fore the just shall live by faith.

A few months after these blessings the devil succeeded to carry

some souls off, as it were by storm, of whom some have returned a-

oain. The most striking feature of God’s holy and gracious ways in

His native church here in the last year, was that it pleased Him to

take from this cursed earth into His heavenly mansions, four babes,

twelve children, two women, and John ; these all died in the faith.

These twelve children were of the age from 3—9 years, four boys and

eight girls. They all bad a very painoful sickness for a long period,

and they all expressed a desire to be with Jesus, However painful at

the time the separation from these dear children might have appeared,

yet their death was a blessing to us all Young as they were, the

Spirit of Jesus had taught them to love Him, and to be His for ever,

31

because it pleased Him to die for them and to reveal Himself unto

them.

If it is a glorious thing to see Jesus in a grown person, it is

far more so to see Him in a child.

Oh, what has Ged done for us !

Hallelujah !

The next morning at 3 0o’Clock, he was with his Lord.

This was a day of glory unto us.

All the eight little girls also were

turned to the Lord; the crowd of the girls surrounded them with

their prayers and with their songs, and when we brought their bodies to

the ground, we all felt as people that have a king whose dominion and

kingdom is -everlasting, who was dead, and, behold, he lives for ever-

more and has the keys of hell and of death, who has loved us and

washed us from our sins in His own blood, and unto whom our souls

ehildbirth, fully prepared. Jo/n is the same boy who has been named

in our report 1843, now a youth of above 22 years of age.

He gave

himself up to the service of the Lord, and the Lord dealt wonderfully

with him, so that I was greatly comforted through his service, until

about two years before his end, the devil got the victory over him, and

would take him away for something greater, when the Lord graciously

resisted his running away; yet, more than a year he wanted to be

restored again in which time I had great.sorrow and grief concerning

him, but in the last year he ripened for heaven and God gave him

grace fully to repent and to see what man is by himself.

to the work of the Lord, They were lalgt year in that gracious sea~

son, converted to the Lord by His Holy Spirit.

I, therefore, on

Lord’s day, the 22nd October 1848, seeing that I cannot keep them,

gave them up accordingly, spirit, soul and body, into the keeping ‘of

my God and Master in the presence of the two congregations, where

they also publicly gave their spirit, soul and body up unto the keeping

of the Lord, confessed their faith in the Lord Jesus, the Son of God,

and their great desire, to serve him faithfully unto death by his grace.

Amen.

To the praise of the Lord be it told : they have since that

time been the vessel by which the Lord refreshed us all. Their names

are; Daniel 16 years, little Joseph 13 years, George 13 years, Herr-

mann 13 years, May the Lord keep them for Himself and His holy

work unto Life Eternal.

Amen.,

These dear souls are recommended

to the fervent prayers of the faithful people of God.

Oan the 7th October 1848 we had again, through God’s grace, a

missionary meeting of both congregations at our Chirakal station,

This time were also, with God's grace, our brothers and sisters, the

gentlemen and ladies present, but most of our white brethren could not

get leave. It was a day of great blessing for us. The Lord was pow-

erfully amongst us. Our brethren, the seven Catechists, addressed us

also, and our great theme was: Christ crucified, the son of God j—

and particular reference was made to that great an1i glorious time in

which the Lord by His Spirit quickened and revived so many of us to

His own praise,

Amen.

Here we particularly, also, as always, re-

membered our dearly beloved brothers and sisters of H. M. 25th

Regiment at Madras, and cur brethren and sisters at Bangalore and

at all the different stations; that we all may be kept unto life eternal

and be made fruitful auto our God in Christ Jesus.

solemn season 1 in the name of the Lord married Brother George

O’Brien to sister Susanna, and Brother James Duncan to sister Sarah,

and Eliza was espoused to brother Joseph. .

H, M. 25th Regiment has been removed to Madras, and our bro-

thers and sisters in that regiment are now under the faithful care of

our dear brother and fellowservant, the Rev. J Anderson of the

Seoteh Free Church, and his brethren; our fe]lowship is with the Father

and the Son through the Holy Ghost, -

Since that time one of their

number, James Duncan, has joined us here in the work of the Lord

as Catechist, and is now learning diligently the Malayalam language,

and is recommended to the fervent prayers of God’s people, that he may

prove a faithful soldier of Jesus Christ amongst the Natives.

On the

30th of June 1848 we opened our new corner school with a public ser-

33

vice and asked the blessing of our Lord also upon this work of His.

And since that time the catechists, Joseph Searle and Joseph preach

the word of God, morning and evening to those who pass by ; also this

work is especially recommended to the fervent prayers of His people.

Many of our Native brethren and sisters have been removed

I. CONGREGATION AND GIRLS BOARDING SCHOOL,

AT TELLICHERRY.

With thanks to God we conclude another year through which

His faithful hand has helped us

We have no great suceesses to re-

E

34

port upon.

The past year has been a time of sifting rather than of

successful growth, as appears by our census, which shows a decrease

of numbers in our congregation,

But with all this, we feel the more

thankful for that which has been preserved or newly given by the

grace of God.

The health of cur Missionary families has been as good as in any

preceding year. Mrs, Gundert returned from the Hills in May, consi-

derably strengthened, and Miss Kegel, who had been ailing for some

time, recovered her usual measure of health on a visit to our friends

at Calicut, (in November and December.) Mrs, Irion has given over

charge of the girls school to Mrs. Gundert since her return from the

Hills, and devoted herself, together with Mrs

F. Miiller to the care

of the women.

Mrs. F'. Miller at the same time instructs the girls in

English, 7he girls school is now under the care of Mrs. Gundert and

Miss Kegel.

At present we have twenty-eight boarders, most of

whom are under twelve years of age.

Eight boarders entered the

school during the last year; but three of them went away and three

died ; the eldest was married ; so that we have but one more than last

year.

Their progress, on the whole, is pleasing, and many of them

are obedient and industrious,

The gracious visitation of last year has

left some abiding fruits among them, which have appeared more par-

ticularly in several cases of dangerous illness.

Ore of them, Anna,

has been cursed by her mother (a Portuguese woman) because she

withstood her enticements, from love to the Lord.

The state of the congregation is not as pleasing as we might have

expected a year ago.

The time of awakening in the end of the year

1847 was followed by one of lukewarmness, occasioned by want of

brotherly love in the congregation

The Lord, then, tried us with

sickness.

Noah a young man of caste who at the time of the general

awakening did seek and find salvation through Christ, was married on

was taken ill a week after this marriage, and tenderly nursed by his

young wife.

He gave proofs of his faith in Jesus amidst the raging

of the fever, and died on the last day of the month,

This was the first

case of small pox, which continued its ravages amongst us for nearly

three months,

Some were taken ill suddenly which caused the grea-

ter fright ; for the heathen believe that this disease is occasioned by

the goddess Kali, who takes possession of her victims of a sudden.

We have seen in many during this time of trial, how averse the flesh

is to suffering, but also how love can . triumph over the fear of death.

in their sins.

The measles and other diseases took away some members

of the congregation, particularly children,

two families (with thirteen persons) were removed from us, because

their heads were more and more hardened till at last their dwelling

among us became insupportable to them. There is nothing particu-

lar to report about the five baptisms which took place ; by which only

one adult person was added to the church

Those who are being

prepared for baptism do not show a very great desire for heavenly

things ; still we have good hopes for some of them.

II. CONGREGATION AT ANJERCANDI

We get a similar impression on turning to the congregation at An-

Jarcandi; there are but few in whom spiritual growth is visible.

Old sins such as the lust of the flesh, drunkenness, and anger have

appeared again in some

We have not been permitted to see many

fruits of the testimony of Christ which this congregation is called to

give to the great number of their heathen fellow labourers on the Plan-

tation

The situation of our Catechist Timothy there is deserving our

heartfelt sympathy and prayers; for he has to contend with many spirit-

ual and outward enemies, and three of his predecessors have more or

less been brought to shame.

Among the six persons who have been baptized during the year

there is an elderly couple who have, for some time past, heard the

word of God with longing'desire, and who live unblameably before mene.

The day of their baptism (22nd October) was a day of rejoicing for

the better members of the congregation, as nearly two years had elaps-

ed since any adults had been received into the church

ved our people there from falling into sins, but has made them a light

to their friends and relations, so that some of them begin to ask for

the way of salvation.

This, we may hope, is partly owing to the

respect which our Catechist Panl has gained even with our enemies,

by faithfully following Christ.

=

IV. OUTSTATION AT WADAGARA.

Wadagara is another outstation in the south; Catechist Matthew

is still waiting for some fruit of his labours, which we hope may appear

ere long. The word of God is regularly read in a Tier family, and

their superstitious and idolatrous practices are gradually discontinued .

Also a Nair a man of some consequence among his neighbours is high-

ly rejoiced at the word of God : he would insist upon rewarding the

Catechist with money for his first instruction and has since proved

that he has the truth at heart,

But he has not yet ventured to make

an open profession.

These two outstations have hitherto been regularly visited by the

two brethren Gundert and C. Miiller ; but we have hopes that Br. C.

Miiller may be enabled to devote himself more exclusively to this

hopeful work, by removing to Chombala.

The word of God has been preached with more or less success at

the heathen festivals in the neighbourhood, two of which were visited

by Br. Gundert and several by our Catechist Thomas.

We were not

able to dispose of many books on these occasions, so decided is the

enmity which shows itself on all our meetings with great numbers.

We are rejoiced at the faithful witness which our native Brethren bear

to the heathen on such occasions, and sincerely trust that greater num-

bers may yet be won by their faithful service.

V. BOYS' BOARDING SCHOOL.

In laying before our friends a short report of our boys school, it

might easily happen that, without our wishing to do so, we might copy

last year’s report ; for in our school so small a change is perceptible

from year to year that such repetitions can hardly be avoided. If once

we should be permitted to report to our friends that all our boys had

been truly converted these repetitions would cease. and there would be

But till then we must

abundance of new events to report every year.

be conteat with the state of things as it is.

When we last reported upon the institution, the number of our

pupils amounted to 46.

In the course of this year we have received

_seven more boarders ; ten have left us and one has died after several

months illness; we have consequently four less than at the end of last

year.

We are thankful to say, that, with the exception of one, none

out of the ten has ran away from us, (as it used to happen so frequent-

ly in former times) and only one of them was sent away on account of

his

bad behaviour.—Three of the boys were sent away with their

relations who had given us a vast deal of trouble; Adam and Esra,

too, were prevailed upon by their mother, to leave us ; their going away

grieved us very much ;—but we have since had a letter from them

which shows that they already begin to feel the evil of their having

left us, and we pray that grace may be given them to renounce their

Romish relations together with the inheritance which had been held

out to them, as a bait.* Justin, was sent back to his mother on account

of ill health. Henry and Samuel Wiggins, too, have been sent back to

their father.

A Nayar boy who had been with us but a short time is

the only one who ran away one night, and stole some clothes.

May

the Lord cause some of the good seed which has been sown into these

childrens hearts, to germ and to bring forth some fruit in his own

good time.

There is not much to say about those who have been newly re-

ceived. Two of them are already placed with some masters tc learn

trades, and seem to be industrious lads. The rest have begun to visit

the school; we cannot report great progress of any of them.

The

beys were employed in the following manner during the past year. In

the forenoon they have their lessons (till one o'Clock.) The two

youngest classes are instructed in reading, writing, arithmetic, and

their catechism.

We have a spelling book for beginners; the Bible

* They have returned in February, 1849.

38

is the only class book for the rest. The two senior classes have gone

through a course of Biblical history, explanation of the Psalms, har-

mony of the Gospels, the fulfilment of prophecy, church and profane

history, geography of India, arithmetic, and singing. We have no

particularly talented boys which is our reason for trying to make them

well acquainted with the word of God in the easiest manner possible.

All the boys with the exception of those who learn trades, work in

the garden in the afternoon, from 3 to 5 0’Clock, under the superin-

tendence of their schoolmaster, Taddai, who understands the cultiva-

tion of land.

The boys at first were much averse to this kind of work ;

but we are glad of it as it is a sure means of keeping off idle people,

who would otherwise come to us to be fed and clothed. Two of the

boys, a weaver and a book-binder, are still at Mangalore,

Six are

here ; one of whom is a smith, the others ironmen, carpenters, and tai-

lors.

Three of them have to go to town every day, and seem to be

industrious and to like their business.

With regard to the spiritual

state of our boys we can say but little.

The time of awakening last

year was followed by a period of sifting. Still we may hope that a

fear of sin has remained in many hearts, and this is a great blessing,

particularly with the younger boys.

Another fruit of that time is a more willing obedience among the

children,

The stick is nearly banished from the school; and words,

which formerly did not suffice, have taken its place.

When we first

begdn the work in the garden, we had to hear many complaints and to

see many discontented looks; now this is a rare occurrence ; this

proves more love for work,—no little thing among Hindus ! —Another

remaining fruit of last years gracious visitation is a daily prayermeet~

ing which was then begun by the boys, (without our suggesting it,)

and has been continued ever since.

This, certainly, is kept up only

by the better boys; and is, no doubt, a burden to some of the rest,

particularly to the younger boys; however their attendaoce is quite

voluntary and we of course, do not the least interfere with it.

We have but eight boys who are not yet baptized ; all of them

have repeatedly asked to be admitted into the church; but they are

too old to have their request complied with, without previous instruc-

tion and the assurance on our part that a change of heart has taken

place in them.

Only five out of the thirty-four baptized boys

: partak;a of the

Lord’s supper.

Of all of these we may say, that a work of the Spirit

is begun in their hearts; and that their influence with the other boys

is a good one,

counts of our school, the more we would ask you, pray for us.

VI. DAY SCHOOLS.

The schools at Tellicherry and in the neighbourhood were, at the

beginning of the year in a very declining state, and gave us much un-

easiness; but, by the grace of God, the boys schools at least have been

The

so much bettered as to be a subject of joy and gratitude to us.

course of instruction has been the same as in former years: Reading,

Writing, History of the Old and New Testaments and Explanation of

the Epistles of St. Paul in a weekly meeting, held in the Mission house

at Tellicherry. After having for some time tried in vain to prevent

the learning of heathea songs in our Schools, we have at last succeeded

to do so to a great extent, by translating Bﬁnyan’s Pilgrims Progress,

into Malayalum verse, the boys now take great pleasure in learning

this by heart ; and we have even been asked by some adults for these

¢ Shastras.”

Through the grace of God, two schools have been re-established

at Wadagara.

One of these, and that the most promising one, is held

in the verandah of our Catechist Matthew’s house.

The Bible is the

only class beok, and they love to learn the word of God.

Most of

them learn more than they are required to do.

One of the boys, who

had always attracted our attention by his diligent and obedient beha-

viour, was lately beaten by his elder brother, upon which, to the no

small astonishment and horror of the parents, he knelt lown in a cor-

ner of the room to pray for the offender, according to the word of

Christ. He was at once forbidden to go to school any more ; but the

schoolmaster, (who as yet halts between two opinions) tried to per-

suade them that it was at least better to pray to the Creator than to use

bad language ; and thus the boy was permitted to return to school.

Oh that the Lord may preserve the spark of faith in the heart of this

child, This pleasing experience has strengthened our hopes more

than we can well express.

The schools have also this year, been a means of preaching the

gospel to adults:in different ways. The word of God is daily preached

in the poor house ; on the 22nd of April a dying woman was there re-

eeived into Christ’s church by baptism ; all who were present at the

40

administration of the holy rite, were deeply touched and we trust

the name

Book of the heart...

In distributing the books we make various experiences

Some

receive them gladly and use them profitably ; others dare not touch

them for fear of being bewitched by the power which they ascribe to

them, and of being won over to Christianity. The seed whieh is sown

in this manner, works more in secret and mostly unseen by us, still

we sometimes have the pleasure of seeing it spring up and bring forth

fruit

The book of the heart with pictures appears to be particularly

liked by the people ; the natives knowing the meaning of the different

animals which represent various sins very well ; and they seem to feel

interested in the things, thus brought home to them,

Were we to

give away the little books gratuitously, we would, no doubt, be rid of

all the copies; but we ask a trifle for them, which is not much liked

by the natives who know nothing of buying books.

ALICUT STATION

Rev. J. M. Fritz, Mrs, Fritz, Rev. J, Huber, Mrs. Huber,

In reviewing the closing year we feel ourselves called upon to

thank the Lord for all his love and faithfulness which He has shown

to us in many ways during the past year, and to exclaim

¢« Not unto

We

us, Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name be glory and honour.

have been permitted to make known the gracious will of God by dis

tribution of parts of the Holy Scriptures and tracts, by schools and

preaching. We are grieved to say that we cannot speak of much suc-

cess ; this is sowing—not harvest time

May we be faithful in sowing

the heavenly seed ; we or our successors shall then see a season of

reaping ; for the word of the Gospel cannot fall to the ground ; it

must accomplish the gracious purposes of God

aund at the proper

time both he that soweth and he that reapeth shall rejoice together

We have not met with much direct opposition, on the part of

the Natives, either Mahomedans or Hindoos

The greatest enemy

that obstructs our way, is the dreadful indifference with regard to the

best and holiest things we offer them, and which alone are able to

make the sinner’s heart for ever happy. May the Lord create in the

hearts of these poor people hunger and thirst, not after the things of

this world, but after the bread and water of life, even Jesus and His

righteousness.

We have also this year had the joy of perceiving a growth in the

grace and knowledge of God and our Saviour, in some of the members

of our congregation, and thus the sad trials which others occasioned

to us, have in some measure been lightened

We have had the privilege of adding several souls to the church

On the 23rd of January we baptized six adults and four younger girls,

belonging to the girls institution which is under the charge of Mrs.

Fritz, and Mrs

Huber

We had reason to believe that a work of

grace had beeen begun in the hearts of the elder girls, and our hopes

have been confirmed by their conduct

On the fourth of June a weaver with his family (three persons in

all,) and on the 5th of November a Tamil family of four members

were baptized.

The latter one are servants to an English family at

this place.

On the Ist of January 1849, another Nair family together

with two youths, two women, and two children, were received into the

%

church.

May the Lord acknowledge them as His own and write their

r

42

names into the book of life.

We have had six marriages during the

year and several children were baptized.

On Sundays we have regularly two services in Malayalim, and

our daily morning and evening prayers, can be attended to by all peo-

-\

ple on our premises.

Mrs, Fritz and Mrs,

Huber have

@4

weekly

prayer meeting with the women belonging to the congregation, and

the men assemble for the same purpose once a week,

May the Lord

be in their midst,

The Lord has shown us Hié mercy on our two outstatic;ns, Coi-

landy and Cotacal, where some of our Christians reside.

We cannot

yet report of victories among the people who visit the schools at the

first named place, nor among the Nayadees at the latter station; of

one boy among the latter we cherish the hope that he received the

word in * good ground.” We work in hope, not doubting that the

Lord will make good His promises,

The Lord has graciously preserved us from sickness and death

during the past year, in our native congregation.

But Mr, and Mrs.

Fritz have had the privilege of surrendering their first born, and at

that time only child, to the faithful shepherd of souls,

The Lord has

given it, the Lord has taken it, the name of the Lord be praised. Mrs.

Huber’s health has been so far restored as to permit her to take an

active part in all the labours connected with the schools, etc. We

take this opportunity of publicly expressing our heartfelt gratitude to

Dr. Buchanan for his unwearied and kind attention and help te both

of our families.

May the Lord reward him!

We mentioned in a former report some Tam:l Christian families

who live here, but who have separated themselves from us, because we

would not tolerate their caste prejudices.

One of them have since re-

joined the Roman Catholic church, (to which they formerly belonged)

and their children who had been baptized by us, were rebaptized.

Another Nair family who had for some time been in connection with

us, but had been sent away on account of bad conduct joined the Ro-

man church. A davghter of this family who knows and loves the

Lord, is a member of our congregation.

Since November 1848 Mrs, Huber has commenced an English

day school for Portugese and Indo-briton girls, and it is prospering in

spite of the opposition of the Romish priest; there are already twelve

pupils, amongst whom are three Parsee girls.

The girls boarding school at present numbers thirty children, _

their age varying from four to sixteen years.

‘We hope that some of

these children will t:e the Lord’s!

43

About two hundred and thirty heathen children are daily instrues

ted in the Mission schools.

Thus far the Lord has helped us,

And we trust that His grace

may furthermore help us, and that He will bless us and cause us to be

a blessing to such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death.

J. M. FRITZ,

J. HUBER.

NILAGIRI STATION.

Rev, G. H. Weigle, Mrs Weigle. Rev. M, Biihler. Rev, E. Moerike,

In reviewing the past year, we see much reason to praise the

Lord, who has given us many tokens of His grace in the beginning of

this work, for as such we must consider our present labours, as our

deficiency in the knowledge of the Badaga dialect was a considerable

impediment to our operations.

Br. Weigle who is employed by the Madras Auxilary Bible So-

ciety as translator to the Canarese Bible Revision Committee, has de-

voted all his time to this important work.

Br. Mosrike whom ill health obliged to exchange the low country

for the Hills, has been permanently stationed up here, and his and Br.

Biihler’s time has been exclusively devoted to preaching in the villages

of the Badaga’s and attending to the schools.

Br. Moerike resided

at Karteru ; Br. Biihler spent the greater part of the year at Kota-

gherry ; for some months he was at Mysore to study the Canarese

language, which is indispensable for a Missionary to the Badagas who

speak a hill dialect of the Canarese.

Mrs. Gundert and Mrs. Greiner who had been with us on account

of ill health, have returned to their stations after having under Gods

blessing in a great measure recovered their health.

Br. Metz also who had paid us a visit on account of his health,

left wus in hopes of having gained sufficient strength to resume his la-

bours at the coast, but has since been obliged to return an invalid.

Our Missionary laboars have often put us in mind of the words

of the prophet : *“ Who is he that despiseth these days of small things.”

% Not by might nor by power but by my Spirit it shall come to pass,

saith the Lord God of hosts.”

Our last report mentioned two small

schools at Kateru and Chogatorre, and a large flourishing one at Kai-

ty, which was attended by upwards of a hundred boys, who made plea«

44

sing progress, notwithstanding the novelty of the thing

for reading

and writing heretofore was a thing unheard of amone the Bada-

gas

They read the word of God and often caused us to rejoice by

their remarks on it, and by their voluntary visits to our house

But

this promising school was dissolved for six months on account of the

misconduct of the schoolmaster, in which the son of one of the first

Gaudas was implicated

This being found out, the head Gauda used

all his influence with the people, net only to prevent them from send-

ing their children to school, but to make our intercourse with the

people in gereral, as difficult as possible. He so far succeeded that the

school at Karteru was attended but by a few boys, and the one at Cho-

gatorre had to be given up altogether

The people of some distant

villages, who formerly had expressed their wish to have schools and

even their willingness to build or fit up houses for that purpose, now

turned from us.

Br. Moerike one day came to a large village, where

the people had long ago promised to have a school

When he said

I have now been eight times with you, and you have always referred

me to some future month or lucky day, and after all you do not keep

your promise, they replied

And if you come a thousand times what

is that to ns?

But

thanks be to Gad

the above mentioned Gauda

acknowledged his fault and asked the pardon of the generous friend of

our Mission who had established the school ; and the Gauda assisted

in reopening it; it is now prospering again under the charge of a

Christian schoolmaster. The school at Karteru, too, is better attended ;

another one has been commenced at Sullugodu in the neighbourhood

of Kotagherry, and we have hopes for a fourth at a large village. We

have also a Tamil school in the Bazar at Kotagherry.

The state of these schools exercises great influence on our prin-

cipal work,—the preaching of the word in the villages

which is natu-

ral, considering the intimate connection between all the Badagas.

For although they are dispersed in four Nadus, (districts) and upwards

of two hundred villages, they are in close connection by their lan-

guage,

aste, 1ntermarriages, ete,

One funeral ceremony assembles

the inhabitants of many villages—one religious festival collects persons

out of the four districts

This intimate convection,—though it may

in time become the instrumeat of much good—at present is a great

hinderance to our work. The enmity of one Gauda soon infects others,

and we often observed the dread of losing caste, etc. spreading from

one village to another

In visiting the villages

we have mostly met

with a friendly reception at first; and were thus enabled to speak to

45

individuals and crowds of the things concerning their peace ; on se-

cond visits we have often been received in a less friendly way, chiefly

owing to the influence of those who think themselves wiser than the

rest, and intimidate those who lend us a willing ear.

Sometimes we

did not get one answer to all our questions, and at others the people

dispersed in all directions when they saw us approaching.

Though we cannot speak, after so short a period, of great victo-

ries gained by the gospel, we perceive with joy that some light is be-

ginning to dawn upon the thick darkness which has hitherto covered

the hearts of these poor idolators,

The acknowledgement of the pow-

er of sin and sinful habits, of their weakness in counteracting the

influence of the secret workings of the devils and sorcerers, the objects

of their superstition, (amongst whom the Mullakurumbers in the jun-

gles on the slopes of the hills are most dreaded) and their readiness to

acknowledge their utter ignorance in spiritual things, frequently pro-

cure us an easy access to their hearts.

Oh, one of them exclaimed,

with tears in his eyes—none of us can take the root of sin out of our

hearts,

Some have attended at our Sunday services ; others our daily

morning and evening prayers; but as yet none of the Badagas have

ventured openly to join us, although many are convinced of the truth

of our way, and have some confidence in us.

In some places the peo-

ple assure us that they pray to the God Jesus every morning and

evening, and we have no reason to doubt their statement, after having

One of them asked some time

had frequent intercourse with them.

ago: DPray, tell me, Aow I must pray to Jesus.

There is no doubt

much ignorance ard superstition mixed up with these expressions, as

we may perceive by a name they sometimes give us: Shiva kandid-

hone—Swami-kandidhone, which means the man who has seen Shiva.

We therefore, do not attach too much value to these expressions, their

minds are, as yet too little enlightened.

We are brought into frequent and familiar contact with the peo-

ple, by distribution of medicine, inoculation, etc.

Frequent applications for help, made by poor lepers, people ill of

the small pox, etc. made us anxious to have a small poor fund which

would enable us to help in eases of real distress, Some kind Christian

friends at Ootacamund have contributed some money for this purpose

and we feel most thankful for their aid.

In October last a Sanyasi, who for many years past had visited

the hills as a beggar, came to us.

We had met kim on a previous oc-

tion; now, to our surprise, he wished for instruction about our way.

Since then Br. Moerike instructs him regularly. Although his confi-

dence in his own good works as a means of salvation has given way to

a more meek and humble disposition, we must yet wait in faith and

patience, for a complete change of heart.

May God, who alone can

prosper our sowing and watering on this hard ground, look down in

mercy upon us, and glorify His name amongst a people who do not

yet hunger and thirst after His righteousness, and wander about upon

the mountains as sheep without a shepherd,

been sent out by our Committee, to join the Mangalore Station, and

to establish among our mnew Native Christian commuunity some

trades which promise a fair return to honest industry. They are them -
