ELEVENTH REPORT

OF THE

GERMAN EVANQELICAL MISSION;

IN THE

CANARA, SOUTHERN MAHRATTHA,

/a\

TALAM PROVINGCES:

AND

ON THE NILACIRIS.

BANGALORE:

PRINTED AT THE WESLEYAN MISSION PRESS.

REPORT.

=

THaE sixteenth year of our mission has passed with its

hopes and fears, sorrows and joys, troubles and comforts, strug-

gles and successes; with its chastisements and blessings, with

its sins and its mercies.

Memory, man’s recorder of the past,

has laid up its story among her records; and the Lord, before

whose judgment-seat we must all appear (2nd Cor. v. 10,) has

recorded all its works -in His book; (Rev. xxii. 12, 13).

Matter enough for reflection, repentance, humiliation; but also

for joy, thanksgiving, and praise, in the sight of Him unto

whom all our hearts and all our deeds are manifest,.

Reviewing the past in the light of God’s truth, we desire

as it becometh poor-contrite, broken-hearted sinners, who have

nothing in themselves wherein to trust or to glory, to approach

His throne in deep humility; giving glory and honor to whom

alone they are due, to the giver of every good and perfect gift,

to the Father of mercies, to the God of love.

For we are un-

worthy of our high calling, unworthy of being ambassadors for

Christ, heralds of God’s love, ministers of the Spirit among the

gentiles.

Although, therefore, the less thoughtful reader of mission

reports may consider it a

L

e

pid

in, easy, and pleasant engage-

ment to give a yearly account of the progress of a mission

to its friends and supporters, we confess that to us this duty,

obvious as it is, does appear not a little burdensome.

How

L3

4

difficult it is to report faithfully, and to speak the truth in

Christ, only those know who have earnestly tried it themselves.

And if we pleased all men, but incurred the displeasure of Him

whose “ loving kindness is better than life,”” and whose favor is

the life and hope of our work, what would it avail us?

We shall try then to give a sober, humble, honest report,

and entreat our friendly readers to lay aside great thoughts and

enthusiastic expectations before they enter on the pages of a sim-

ple tale of a mission year, which has passed without notable

events or changes.

Among the stations situated on the coast, some congrega-

tions have grown in number, and we hope in grace.

In the

Southern Mahratta country, and in the neighbourhood of Man-

galore, indications of coming victory appear more and more

distinct.

The sad falling away of the poor Nayadis at Kodakall

excepted, no ground has been lost by the mission, although we

have been tried by sickness in several quarters.

The boarding

schools of the mission are prospering.

The industrial school

has not yet overcome the difficulties of an Indian commence-

ment; but it bids fair to succeed in time.

Among the schools

established for the benefit of the rising generation, the two

English schools at Mangalore and Calicut, especially flourish.

The liberality of our Indian friends and supporters, has not

grown weary. Their cont1'ibutions have equalled those of the

past year.

May every heart and hand through which the Lord

is pleased to send us help and encouragement, abundantly

receive out of the treasures of the heavenly Father, gifts and

blessings to cheer them in the land of their earthly pilgrimage,

and a full reward of grace in the country of their eternal in-

heritance.

b

Although revolutions and wars have threatened to shake

our native land to its foundations, the good hand of God has

hitherto restrained the wild spirit of anarchy and communism.

Who knows but that the almighty ruler, may hear the “Give

peace in our time O Lord” of His children on earth %—Great

efforts have been made during the past year in our native land

by those who have kept the faith, for the establishment and

extension of “Home Missions,” for the conversion of alas!—

German heathenism; and consequently foreign missions do no

longer occupy the minds and hearts of the people of God at

home, so exclusively as in former days.

Yet our committee at

Basle, and our mission in India have had enough, God be

thanked! What more do we want?

In the course of this year we look forward to the joy of

seeing among us a deputation from our beloved committee:;

who will see with their own eyes, hear with their own ears, and

acquire a personal acquaintance with the labors, the people, and

all the affairs of their Indian mission ; and return to Basle, we

trust, refreshed in spirit, to be joyful witnesses of the work of

God in India, and zealous advocates of our cause among the

churches of Southern Germany.

Our second general confer-

ence has been held at Mangalore.

The importance of this

assembly for the welfare of the mission has become so apparent,

and the work committed to the conference is of such magnitude

and variety, that we have asked our committee’s leave to hold

another meeting in January 1852.

May the Lord continue to

bless these meetings to the union, strength, and health of our

mission.

Brother Buhrer’s health is, God be thanked, improving;

and we hope to welcome him back to his work after the next

nionsoon.

In August last Br. Lehmann, formerly connected

with the late Dr. Haeberlin’s mission in Bengal, joined the

Tulu mission and is now preparing for active duty. Br. Deg-

geller has taken his fair share of work. Still the sigh, “few are

the labourers,” has often arisen in the course of this year in

behalf of the Tulu work.

The regular services on sundays and

week-days are generally well attended: the friday prayer-meet-

ings of the men and of the women of the congregation, with

their simple and wholesome religious exercises; and the monthly

celebration of the Lord’s supper; were now and then seasons of

gracious visitations from on high, of holy sorrows and joys,

and of awakenings of souls.

The missionary meetings on the

first monday of each month, when the new little church

of Mangalore joins in the prayer of the church universal for

the coming of Christ’s kingdom, have rarely been intermitted.

Two great baptisms have taken place ; 37 souls were baptized

on Palm Sunday; and on the 8rd Sunday in advent 84 souls

were added to the church; besides 18 children of merpbers of the

7

congregation, who were baptized in the course of the year.

Thirty-five persons are under catechetical instruction, and wait

for admission into the church. On new year’s day, eight adult

persons were, after due preparation, admitted for the first time to

the Lord’s table. The Church schools for boys and girls, though

far from fulfilling our desires, are yet in a satisfactory state; the

former attended by 30 children, 15 of whom are boarders—the

latter by 43 children, of whom 36 are boarders. Two little com-

panies belonging to these schools are preparing for confirmation.

At Utchila and the neighbourhood, the Gospel appears to

gain ground, chiefly among the Billavars.

The settlement at

Bolma is prospering.

Thus the oldest church of the mission is,

under the blessing of the Lord, steadily growing and spreading.

More might be done if the brethren engaged in the Tulu mis-

sion could undertake the work opening before them; but alas!

““the labourers are still few.”

Catechists and Schoolmasters—OIld SiMmEoN is still at his post in the poor-house,

with a household of 20 or 30 sick people under his charge ; he attending to the wants

of their souls, as well as their bodies. Besides which he often engages in the work of

an evangelist with zeal, and not without God’s blessing.

ANDREW his brother also,

a faithful man, has of late, on account of the scarcity of labourers, been called to the

office of a catechist,

Enos one of the first Mangalore converts’, is settled at Bolma,

where he keeps a little school.

Titus is stationed at Utchila, where he has ample

work, and has often to bear the brunt of the battle between the Gospel and heathenism,

Isaac has been withdrawn from the catechist school and placed at Gudde, 5 miles to

the north of Utchila. A new company of converts seemed to gather in that place, and

some person being absolutely necessary for their instruction and management, one of

the young men was taken from the school.

ELIEZER is the teacher of both the boys’

and the girls’ schools; he has long served the mission in the capacity of schoolmaster,

and if we knew how to supply his place, we should gladly employ him as a catechist.

DANIEL has charge of the boys’ school, superintending the manual labours and the

household affairs of the Institution.

Christian forbearance forbids us to praise the

labour and characters of these our fellow labourers. They serve the Lord, and do not

we trust, desire to be praised before men.

As for the heathen schoolmasters, we

long for the time, When we shall be able to displace them, for christian and trained

men.

THe CONGREGATION. A few of the old members of our church have after years

of indifference, been awakened to thirst after grace; some have been led to repentance,

and have confessed their sins with a broken heart.

During the seasons of preparation

for the Lord’s Supper, the influence of His Spirit has often been felt. The Word of

God is willingly heard, and its pewer at times felt by many. Still the congregation as

a body, does not present to our eyes the appearance of life and health; but rather that

8

of disease needing a supernatural cure of deadly slumber not to be broken save by the

power of Christ’s resurrection.

A small Tamil congregation is attended to, chiefly on Sundays, when they have a

morning service, performed sometimes by one of the brethren, Eliezer acting as inter-

preter ; sometimes by Eliezer alone.

A little company of Tamil Christians under the

care of a christian lady at Honore, has received some visits from different brethren

during the past year; they have rejoiced in the evidences afforded them of a work of

grace carried on there without the help of a regular ministry.

BoARDING ScHOOLS.

The boys 23 in number, are under the care of the bre-

thren Greiner and Deggeller.

Their school is open also to boys, who live with their

parents,

Eliezer teaches them in the mornings reading, writing, cyphering, and

biblical history; explains the Gospels to them catechetically, and reads with them

¢¢Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress,” and Canarese tracts. in the afternoon their occupa-

tion is to make straw-mats, which are in considerable demand; in this work, the 8

eldest boys are also engaged in the mornings.

Their conduct, diligence, and progress

in christian knowledge are on the whole satisfactory.

The girls 43 in numbér, work

the whole morning until 2 o’clock under Mrs. Greiner’s superintendence—in the after-

noon 36 of them are regularly at school under Eliezer, who instructs them much in the

same way as he does the boys. 15 of the elder girls have three weekly prayer-meetings

with Mrs. Greiner; several of them appear to feel the influence of the Spirit of grace.

A poor orphan girl was lately received from Shimoga, her mother was a Konkan

brahman woman who had lost her caste.

After her mother’s death, a Konkan brah-

man brought the orphan up for some years, but afterwards sold her to a smith for 28

rupees.

Being cruelly treated by her master, she sought and obtained the protection

of the magistrate, who punished the seller and purchaser of the child, and sent her to

us; sheis 10 years old, and a quick intelligent creature.

CONVERTS,

Nathanael, formerly Pernu, (vide last Report,) is the first fruits of

Ursa. A year ago he destroyed the demon’s chapel in his house, and amidst many trials

he has stood firm.

Our hopes that his wife would return to him have been fulfilled;

her new nameis Martha. Five children, Marcus, Mary, Susanna, Michael, and Peter,

were baptized with the parents.

Bolma the mission farin, on the south side of the

Fakire (vide last report) has been bap-

Netravati, has yielded its fruit also this year.

tized; his name is now Isaac; besides him' a weaver-family, father, mother, and two

sons,

(the elder of whom a youth of 20 years, has taken the lead in this change,) have

been received into the church from the same locality ; at the same time a servant girl

of the Vokilme: caste, who had, by listening to the conversation of the converts at

Bolma, been: induced to seek farther instruction, was baptized. Three brothers who

had formerly attended the Canarese school of the niission, but.on whom for many years

e atlast professed their faith in Christ,

the Word of God seemed to-have no effect; hav

and appear to be sincere

in their profession.

They are by descent Malayalum Tiers,

but have lived here since t

heir childhood. Their names are now Matthew, Johﬂnes-,« and

Jacob.

From Bokkapatna, one of the suburbs of Mangalore,: where Andréas; Obadiah,

and other members: of our church reside, some souls have been awakened.

A brother

CATECHUMENI.

At Mangalore only a few persons have applied for catechetical

neighbourhood.

The husband though well inclined, is kept from embracing Christi-

anity by the ties of property and family.

The wife resolved to break through, cost

what it might, and joined her .brother, accompanied by her three children. 2. Dug-

gane, one of Titus’ neighbours, one of the 4 sons of a widowed mother, whose favorite he

was, made an open profession of his faith in September, and lives now with Abraham,

the younger brother, and led him to Christ.

He is a promising youth, diligent in

his work, zealous in learning to read and write, and delighting in the word of God.

He has been followed by his younger brother Kampu, whom his wife a little while

after, joined.

The examples of Duggane and Kampu encouraged Momme the brother

of Barnabas, (who was baptized last year,) to free himself also from heathenism. 3.

Maini, a poor but courageous and respectable man, after a long struggle with his own

heart and with his relations, arose at last boldly, destroyedhis demon temple aod idols ;

and drew after him his brother-in-law Meinde, the head of alarge family. When Mani

cast his idols away Meinde wavered, and waited to see what would happen to his bro-

ther after the bold deed. No misfortune occurring, he took courage and joined him; he

is agood natured, honest, but weak man. Another brother-in-law, Tuhre, has followed

his relatives.

Mani’s and Meinde’s wives first left their husbands, then returned; and

at last, after having overcome the shame of laying aside their heathen ornaments (upon

which we insist, remembering Jacob’s example, Gen. 35. 4) cordially joined them;

this family consists of twenty two souls.

4. About the same time, Korage, a young

man, caught by the new spirit, declared his determination to be a Christian ; when his

mother delivered him into the hands of his incensed relatives, who carried him away

and kept him prisoner pight and day in a neighbouring village, and forced him to do

homage to the Bhiita. At last he escaped and ran to Utchila. 'When his relatives ques-

tioned the Bhata anew, he answered, ‘‘ he had delivered him into their hands once,

but since they had let him escape, he would have nothing more to do with the matter.”

Before this, the family in despair performed the funeral ceremonies for the renegade.

The farmers (Vokilme) and the Brahmans oppress the poor ignorant Billavars much,

and hate the idea of their deliverance from the yoke of ancient superstition, by the

power of which they have been hitherto kept in humble servitude.

ism, and is now a zealous enemy; he has rebuilt the temple which he destroyed a year

ago. He was not baptized when he desired it, because distinct proofs of a change of

heart were wanting in him.

He permitted his relations who lived with him, to con-

tinue heathenish ceremonies, and has at last completely fallen under their influence,

Mattu of Urva has also returned to his idols with new zeal and zest; also another

Br. Moeglig’s sickess, by which he was laid aside from

full work in the begining of May last, has caused a short

interruption to the studies of the catechist class.

the end of June however, Br. Wiirth, fo‘rmerly at Hoobly,

all of them, if it please God to spare their life and health,

leave school and engage in mission work under the superinten-

dence of the brethren whom they may join, in May 1852.

Their conduct, diligence, and progress have given satisfaction.

May the Lord himself, by His grace and Spirit, render them

faithful, and able to serve Him as witnesses of His love among

their people.

After Br. Buhler’s departure for the Hills, the whole work again devolved on Br.

Moegling. During this period, the following parts of Scripture were fully expounded ;

1st Timothy, and the first part of 2nd Timothy, and the first 14 chapters of the pro-

phet Isaiah.

The first 5 chapters of ¢ Butler’s Analogy,” translated into Canarese,

were carefully explained, and understood.

In the same manner, ‘‘Paley’s Horz

Paulin®’’ were treated, i. e. an exact Canarese translation, with some occasional addi-

tions was dictated and explained, until the scholars appeared to be in possession

of the argument.

At theend of the chapter on: 2nd Corinthians, this lesson was

interrupted.

Of Jaimini’s Bharata 11 books, from 7 to 17, were read and explained,

11

Some sermons were written out from skeletons of Sunday afternoon sermons, read

from notes taken at church and corrected on Monday mornings.

The repetition

of the lessons of former years, but principally the study of the ‘“Analogy’’ and the

‘“‘Horze Paulinze,” occupied the remaining time of the scholars.

Br. Wurth in the

second half of the year, gave the ollowing lessons:—Acts of the Apostles ; the

minor prophets from Obadiah to Zephaniah.

The needful annotations were dictated

to the scholars in the lessons, and afterwards privately repeated.

Two hours were

daily spent upon the New Testament expositions, and one upon the Old Testa-

ment.

The 4th lesson was Universal History; Ancient History was completed.

Br. Hoch during the greater part of the year taught Algebra from 4 to 5 in the

afternoon, and singing from 5 to % past 5.

Altho’ the scholars were encouraged to

read English books in private, all the above lessons were given in Canarese. A full

knowledge and free use of the native language appears to us indispensable to the effici-

ency of native evangelists, and yet scarcely attainable, unless the medium of instruction

in the catechist school, be the language of the country.

Herrmann A. Kaundanya who went home with Br. Moegling in 1846, and on his

arrival was received into the missionary seminary at Basel, is now completing his

course of preparation, and will return (D. V.) after the next Monsoon, well fitted we

trust, for the work of an evangelist among his own people.

The public English school continues under Br. Hoch’s

charge, who is assisted by Mr. May.—The annual examination

was held in September last; 188 English, and 46 Canarese scho-

lars were in attendance.

The friends of native education, who

honored the school with their presence, expressed themselves

much pleased with its state, especially with he progress made

by the junior classes, who had never before acquitted them-

selves so well.

The school has again been subject to changes and fluctuations.

In the beginning of

the year, several of the most advanced pupils left the school precipi

tately, for reasons

not yet fully come to light; since the examination, the number of sé¢hol

ars has again

considerably diminished, on account of the admission of a number of t

oddy drawers’

boys into the lowest class; whereupon all the brahmans who had the pro

spect of sitting

on the same forms with these low caste scholars, protested and decl

ared that they

would rather leave the school than so degrade themselves. Their protest was of course

disregarded ; consequently a considerable number, some of them very promising boys,

left the school; several influential persons, we understand, have since the examination,

taken the trouble of dissuading some families from sending their young people to the

padres’ school.* The BoaRDING ScHOOL FOR INDO-BRITON BOYS is

principally

under Br. Hoch’s care,

and before the end of this year the pupils of this institution

will form part of his family, when they will have all the advantages of a Christian home

Br. Moegling’s sickness has been an impediment to this branch of labour.

*Hridaya darpana is a free translation of an old tract, popular on the Continent of

Europe.

1t contains a practical explanation of a number of tables on which, in a

grotesque manner, the progress of the human heart towards faith and sanctification

and a happy death on the one hand ; and on the other, the downward progress towards

wordliness and perdition are depicted.

The book seems to strike Hindoos as much

as it it does Grermans, notwithstanding the incongruities of the-pictures.

Throughout the year brother and sister Ammann have

had sufficient health to give themselves fully to their work.

The congregation is stationary both in number and in their spiri-

tual state, though there have been exceptions for good and evil.

The school under Mrs. Ammann’s charge, has a few more scho-

lars,

During the monsoon Br. Ammann’s principal occupation

was the revision of the Tulu translation of the New Testa-

ment.

During the dry season in the beginning and end of the

year, he was engaged chiefly in preaching the Gospel of the

salvation of the world by the free grace of God, throughout the

district as far as Honore.

One of the elder members of the little church, fermerly a demon priest, has:

been exercised by a chastening which appears to yield the peaceable fruit of right-

eousness. For six weeks he was very ill with fever, and came to gates of death. At

last he resolved to try the water cure. He was removed to the mission house, was

treated by Br. Ammann, and recovered in a short time, ‘T'he severe illness of a child,

gether, having fallen under strong suspicion of being implicated with a brother of his,

in a robbery committed during Br. Ammann’s absence at Honore

When inquiry was

made he complained of injustice, and withdrew from the church.

In the Sunday

morning services the harmony of the Gospels as far as Luke 13th has been expounded,

during the past year.

The afternoon catechizations, in which old and young take part

have followed Luther’s minor catechisms as far as the 2nd part of the apostle’s creed.

Four new children have been admitted into the mission school; they are very young.

The number of pupils is now eight.

In spring Br. Ammann spent about a fortnight

in each of the following places, viz: Karkala, Kadendally, Cass, and three weeks at

Mangalore. After the monsoon he first visited the people of Mulki and the neighbour-

hood in their houses, and afterwards preached for a week at Brahmavara, five days at

Kundapoor, five days at Honore, eight days at Kadike, three days at Ajarn, and six

days at Niddodi.

Unless the missionary remain sometime at each of the places where

he desires to make the Gospel known, he cannot expect to produce a lasting impression

on the minds of the people; the lower classes of whom seem to think of nothing but

food, raiment, and money; while the higher and better educated brahmans are given

to talking and wrangling instead of opening ear and heart to the sound of the Gospel,

and the voice of Him, who died to save them. The revision of the New Testament has

been completed with the exception of a part of the Acts of the Apostles.

Br. Layer has safely arrived in Germany with his family, but

his health has not yet improved sufficiently to permit his speedy

return, Br. Weigle formerly on the Nilgairis joined the station on the

2nd April 1850.

He is principally engaged in the revision of the

Canarese Bible, and at the same time assists Br. Albrecht, upon

whom the chief part of the direct mission work has devolved after

15

Br. Layer’s departure.

The state of the congregation is not very

satisfactory ; but there are signs of better things to come among the

Canarese people.

The schools have been rediaced in number.

Also

in this province of our mission the labomers are few.

John of Sirey who is doing catechists work here, has proved himself faithful, and

renders valuable service to the mission.

He and his betrothed one are as yet the only

Canarese members of the mission church; most of the rest are Tamulians. A few

souls among them have spiritual life, and prove by their works their love of Christ.

All the others appear to have little more of Christianity than the name; and give the

missionaries infinite trouble by their vagabond habits of idleness, drinking, lying, cheat-

ing, &c.

till it would not be right to refuse them Gospel services, and christian

mercy ; and it would ill become ministers of the Saviour of sinners, to despair of any

man alive. May God give grace and mercy te these poor souls, and patience and love

to His servants.

The two Sunday services and the Wednesday evening service are

generally well attended.

Also in other respects their connexion with the missionaries

and the church seems to be valued by the majority; but a wordly and carnal mind

drives the word of God from their hearts.

Roman Caztholics sometimes apply for

admission, professing abhorrence of the doctrines and practices of the church of Rome;

and entreating us to receive them among our people.

Thus during the past year, one

man, three women, and three children have been permitted to join the congregation.

Although they have not given evidence of a change of heart, their outward conduct has

hitherto been creditable.

A heathen woman also, who had lived for years with a Ro-

man Catholic was after many entreaties instructed, and afterwards baptized and

married. The girls’ school has been much reduced.

Some were married; two had to

be removed for grievous misconduct. They have been sent to other stations.

Seven

only remain ; three of whom are too young for school and work. During the past year

this little school has given much more cause for sorrow than joy.

One family,—husband, wife, and three children have gone to Bellary. Two chil-

dren have died.

Four adult persons have been excommunicated for misconduct; one

for theft, three for adultery.

Br. Albrecht was again severely ill in June last; but has, God be thanked, greatly

recovered, He has according to his strength and health attended to street-preaching

at Dharwar, and performed two missionary tours, one in January and one in Decem-

ber. The people are generally attentive, and in the villages more regard seems to be

paid to the word of God, than formerly.

The Gospel also continues te be preached to

the poor who come to the mission house weekly, to receive alms and clothing furnished

by the liberality of the English residents.

The schools conducted by heathen school-

masters have been reduced to two.

The masters, were idle and careless, so that their

scholars learned but little.

Besides, they were suspected of reading heathen books

instead of those furnished by the mission.

One of them was discovered awriting and

teaching obscene songs.

Two Canarese men and their wives have lately come to Dharwar from a consider-

able distanee in search of Christian instruction.

One of them is a respectable farmer,

who appears to be an honest, serious man, the other does not appear to be equally in

earnest. English services are performed on Sunday mornings (except when the chap-

lain of Belgaum visits the station) and on Thursday evenings.

CONGREGATION.—Isaac has at last been married; his wife was one of the

boarders of the Dharwar school.

Both of them give satisfaction, and live in peace.

Paul is a holding on his course; he is daily engaged with visitors, acquaintances,

and strangers, and promises to become a useful assistant. Sometime ago his wife

seemed inclined to join him; but all hope has, for the present, vanished. His own

mother is said to have dissuaded her from this step.

ConvERTS.—Four of Paul’s former friends, Chinappa. Gangappa, Shivayogi,

and Ishwara, escaped from their friends at Gokarna, whither they had accompanied

them on a pilgrimage in January last, and sailed to Mangalore, where they were receiv-

ed by the brethren. They returned to Hubly in March; when they were at first receiv-

Chinappa’s wife boldly joined her husband, braving the entreaties, threatenings, and

insults of her nearest rélatives.

Their position, appeared to the brethren dangerous,

both on account of the inexperience of the young men themselves, and on acconnt of

the intrigues of thelifamilies and caste. It was however sometime before they made

up their minds to follow Ishwara’s example.

Shivayogi removed to the mission house

on the 8th of August, Gangappa on the 21st of September, and Chinnappa, with his

wife, on the 17th ‘of November.

these last steps taken by the objects of their formerly lost indignation.

A man of the name of Lingappa, who had last year promised to.remove to Bettighery

and to join the brethren

Travelling towards Surapur Br. Kies met with many

Vedantists in the villages on his road, who despised the doctrires of the Bible as below

the notice of philosophers who had risen above the elementary ideas of morality and the

vulgar conceptions of a future judgment

In the neighbourhood of Surapur Br. Kies met a glass-bracelet seller of the name

of Kautappa, whose acquaintance he had formed two years ago.

He staid eight days

in his village and saw him every morning and evening, when he conversed and disputed

with him on the Vedantic system, which Kautappa had studied these twenty years

He listened with great interest to the exposition of the principal doctrines of the Bible,

and afforded Br. Kies a welcome opportunity of entering deeper into the tenets of

Vedantism and of collecting materials for a refutation of the Pantheism in vogue among

the people of these districts.

After a stay of three weeks at Surapur, at the hospitable house of Captain Taylor,

where, as formerly, visitors and opportunities for setting forth to enquirers the prinei-

ples of truth, were abundant. .The travellers went to Kosigy, a village situated in the

ot

direction of Bellary

Many believers in the Nudi, with whom Christian was acquaint-

ed, live there.

between truth and error, between Christ and Basava, they pretended to think that

Christ and Basava were incarnations of the same God ; and when this subterfuge was

taken from them, one of their speakers answered : ‘‘ well—let us be lost.”” Upon thig

declaration Br. Kies took solemn leave of them and departed.

During Br. Kies’ absence the Christians of Malasamudra joined the congregation at

from time to time. On Sunday afternoons many of the boys who attend the school of

the mission come to the mission house, where they receive christian instruction with-

out the formality of a service.

Abraham, the eldest of the Malasamudra converts,

who was baptized many years zgo by Br. Frey, (now at St. Helena) is notwithstanding

his age of upwards of sixty years, still active and faithful in the service of the Lord.

One of the servants of the Bettigherry brethren, with his wife and daughter, have long

wished to be baptized.

They have received sufficient instruction; but their sincerity

being doubtful, the brethren have hitherto hesitated to receive them into the little

congregation, which would suffer much by the addition of even a few doubtful or un-

faithful members,

The Adawi swami and his family, who appeared so hopeful a year ago, have crea-

ted a sad disappointment by long and systematic deception and dishonesty. When

their character was discovered the brethren reproved them, and determined to keep

them under stricter control for the future.

They did not wish to send them away, on

account of their children who, it was hoped, could be brought to the knowledge of the

truth, even if the hearts of the parents remained unchanged. But when the Swami

saw that he was to be hedged in and that his evil practices would be stopped, he de-

camped. This was July last.

They had lived seven months on the mission premises.

The shastra reader Sankappa, who is mentioned in the last report, continues his course

steadily. The evening meetings are still carried on and often attended by the brethren,

who are now and then much gratified by what they hear and observe.

Sankappa once

openly declared that Vedantism promised a great deal to its disciples, and that the first

lessons of Pantheism looked like deep: philosophy, but to the mind of the initiated

nothing was offered but the nameless, incomprehensible Parabrahma. The Christian

Scriptures on the contrary revealed to the heart and mind of man a God, who had a

name, who had manifested himself in Christ, and was an object worthy of love and

confidence, etc.

On another occasion some of the men related, how they had first been

awakened out of their thoughtless Purana belief by an emissary from Panderpur, a

Guru, who preached a kind of moral Vedantism.

From that time they had become

Vedantists, until they heard of the Christian doctrine. They now asked for meetings

of a more direct religious character and their request will be cheerfully complied with.

One evening, on Sankappa’s proposition Br. Kies prayed with them, on being assured

that they had discarded their former invocation of Ganesha.

They appeared very

devout and one of the seven men, who had joined in prayer, said that they bad not

known what real prayer was; this was a childlike address to God, and something

much better than their Yogadhyana.

Sankappa says, that his only reason for not

making a public profession is the hope of winning over some friends to join him in

receiving baptism and renouncing heathenism.

Some time ago it was found necessary to build some new streets in order to ac-

comodate the growing population of Bettigherry.

The brethren gave the people their

counsel and assistance in this undertaking.

Consequently when on occasion of a

D/

sk

!

festival a flag was to be hoisted onthe new site, the brethren were consulted, and on

their advice the Union flag supplanted the flag of Basava.

The brethren Hiller and

Leonberger were invited on the occasion, and Br. Hiller tock the opportunity of address-

ing the large assembly on the difference between the spiritual character of Christian fes-

tivals, and the carnal irrational nature of heathen holidays.

The people assented and

assured the brethren, that since their arrival in the district many things had been

mended, but much they acknowledged yet remained to be done ere they could come up

to the standard set before them.

Scmoors. The school at Asunti has removed to the colony of Malasamudra. The

same number of boys attend as before and now the school is completely under the eye of

the brethren, which will prove a great benefit.

The nine schools connected with Betti=

gherry are on the whole in a satisfactory state.

Some of the masters, particularly those

who have grown up in the schools of the mission, are attentive and have a decided lean-

ing towards Christianity, although they have not the courage to forsake the world.

Tae CorLony, Br. Leonberger has had a great deal of work and trouble during

oy LR 4 8 et

his first year.

No new colonists have been received. A farmer’s family who were

received last year, had to be dismissed again after several fruitless attempts to reclaim

them. Several of the old labourers also had to be removed. The second year, it is to

be hoped, will be more auspicious.—May the Lord give his blessing, without whick

man labours in vain,

Tue CONGREGATION.

The whole church of Cannanore, Tahi, Chiracal, and

Anjercandy, European and native, has increased to a company of nearly 400 souls.

One sixth of the above have been added during the past year.

The European and

native congregations are united on Sunday mornings, when the English service is in-

terpreted into Malayalam by one of the catechists.

The English congregation have

two evening services weekly, and the native congregation two morning services weekly

besides.

Every month a missionary meeting is held, and every month the Lord’s

supper is administered to the whole church at once.

The seasons of preparation for

the Lord’s supper have been richly blessed to the hearts of many. A missionary spirit

prevails in the church.

The Anjercandy congregation has grown most, about one

bhundred. Communicants, fiom that plantation were present at a last Lord’s supper

of the year, while twelve others who staid at home, partook of it afterwards.

Born

slaves, they are prone to the temptations of ¢‘Chandala” nature.

They are very

irascible and lose their temper, almost their senses, when they are in a passion. The

torrents of Chandala abuse are frightful.

They are generally of a weak understand-

ing and very superstitious.

In one family of our converts, charms were used to save

the life of one who was past recovery.

Still spiritual life is growing among them

gradually ; their souls are precious in the sight of the Lord who had shed His blood

for them ; and it would cheer every christian heart to hear these poor slaves, (who were

a few vears ago buried in heathen darkmess, and who have now come to the knowledge

of God) sing Christian hymns; rudely indeed but earnestly ; while they work in the

plantation under a burning sun—a music strange and unwelcome to their overseers,

who are of higher caste, and despise the poor Pulayars.

May the Lord pour out His

Spirif on all who bear His name.

BoarpiNe Scuoovs. Eighteen boys live at Tahi under the care of Joseph; the

younger are taught by Vedamuttu formerly at Tellicherry, who has been received again

on trial, after a separation of three years and a half from the church.

Seven of these

boys are communicants, five of them desire to give themselves to the service of the

mission.

The girl’s school at Chiracal contains 54 boarders.

One girl was taken by

her mother to Bombay : her father (a protestant) lives there.

Five new boarders have

been received.

Some of the elder girls will soon be married.

On the whole the con-

duct and diligence of the children have been satisfactory. Of theit progress in spiritual

life, little can be said ; they are brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord;

the time of harvest will prove the fruitfulness of the seed and the goodness of the

ground.

The schoolmaster who teaches the girls Malayalam, began to grow weary

and sleepy; temptations however, have served to excite him to watchfulness and

prayer.

ConverTs. The Anjercandy people have already been mentioned ; 43 souls from

that plantation were baptized on the 6th of October, 29 adults and 14 children, Among

the other partakers of the ordinance were Simeon, an old Nair, whom O’Brien and Paul

found engaged in a pilgrimage to Benares.

He received the word of salvation, and

people at Anjercandy were much incensed at the baptism of Israel, and the people

about Chiracal, could not brook the loss of the three weavers.

Israe! had taken a

daughter of his to Cannanore, where they ate with christians; consequently the girl

lost caste.

Upon this, the relatives of the mother who had left her husband, came to

Chiracal and claimed the girl in her mother’s name ; but were refused,

They then

tried to entice her away, through some of the neighbours; this attempt also failed.

On the 14th of October, the Navaratri was celebrated, and the public servants had a

holiday.

This day was chosen for an attack upon the mission house.” About fifty Tiers

from Anjercandy, Tellicherry, and Cannanore entered the premises, demanded the girl,

and threatened violence. No police were to be found; the mission servants who opposed

the mob and required them to withdraw were beaten ; the tumult increased as the mob

gathered strength, aund for five hours the house was in a state of siege, surrounded by

several hundred people.

At nightfall the police made their tardy appearance, and dis-

persed the rioters.

On the following day the girl was sent to Cannanore, and a com-

plaint lodged with the acting magistrate against the assailants.

The girl declared her

wish to stay with her father, and was baptized on the 18th October.

The magistrate

of North Malabar afterwards imposed a few slight fines on the disturbers of the peace.

This was enough to shew that government would protect peaceful people, though

missionaries.

Some persons have been excommunicated; among them the wife of a former

schoolmaster, who instead of humbling herself has persuaded her husband to leave the

f

station. The number of deaths during the ye#lr was 23.

In the little village of Tahi

300 souls were carried off by cholera.

The school was removed for two months till the

epidemic ceased. At Anjercandy almost all the Christians were seized with small pox.

All recovered but a few; among these was Timothy the catechist.

At Cannanore,

Peter, Br. Hebich’s faithful servant, once a thoughtless drunkard, was taken away

rather suddenly.

He had long been ailing. His lungs were bad. During a season of

hard work he would not spare himself.

When at last he gave himself rest, he sank

rapidly. He died in peace.

He was told that there was a better way

of cleansing away sin, which he might learn if he would stay.

He consented to spend

The whole of the little mission company has been graciously

preserved in good health.

All the laborers have been enabled to do

their work without interruption during the past year.

The little

Church though subject to the weakness and diseases of infancy, is yet,

by God’s grace thriving. The Sunday services are attended by all the

members of the congregation, and also by those who live at Wadakara

and Mahe.

From the weekly services on Tuesday and Friday evening,

the fishermen are generally kept away by their calling ; also from the

daily morning prayers at the mission house; instead of which they

meet for a short prayer in the catechist’s house every morning before

going to sea.

The Lord’s supper is celebrated once in three months.

The mission prayer meeting is regularly held on the first Monday of

every month,

The Gospel is made known to the heathen neighbour-

hood, not without proofs of its power.

The poor fishermen have had

a hard year, but they have been helped.

The Lord be praised for all

the trials and all the blessings of the past year.

CATECHISTS AND SCHOOLMASTERS.

Paul is stationed at Chombala, and

Daniel at Wadakara ; the latter is by birth a Nair; he is 25 years of age.

Hitherto

he has worked in the field, but his character and knowledge of the Bible are such

that he has been chosen to succeed Mattai, who had to supply Thomas’s place at

Tellicherry.

They have been principally employed in visiting the scattered farm

houses and little hamlets around, with the message of the Gospel, besides assisting

in the nursing of the infant church. The converts at Mahe have as yet no catechist

resident amongst them ; but receive weekly visits from Paul. Jacob is in charge of

the school at Wadakara, attended by about twenty fishermen’s boys, who are all very

young ; because as soon as they can work they are employed in assisting their pa-

rentse

Luke teaches the little school at Chombala.

There are at present only six

n—

29

pupils (three girls having gone to the school at Chiracal) who spend their forenoons

with Luke, and in the afternoons accompany their mothers to Mrs. Muller, under

whose superintendence they are employed in work, while some portion of Scripture is

read to them.

A school of thirty Tier boys, under a heathen schoolmaster is in a pro-

mising state.

Itis held on Daniel’s premises, is well superintended, and examined

every week, The schoolmaster not being a Christian, the heathen people have more

confidence in sending their boys.

Tae CONGREGATION.,

The past year has been one of great scarcity to the

poor fishermen.

In their distress they have been helped by two friends, one at Basel,

and one in India, whose names we are not permitted to publish. The Lord knows them

and will be their reward.

Disputes among the feraale part of the congregation often

occur, and disturb the harmony of the little household of faith; but peace is ever

restored when the remembrance of the mercy of God softens their hearts.

CONVERTS.

On Pentecost Kunga, a fisherman, about 60 years of age, brother

to Louisa, the mother-in-law of the Anjercandy catechist Timothy, who died of the

His name now is Noah. After the

small pox (vide Cannanore report) was baptized.

raonsoon 1849, he once paid a visit to his converted relatives, when he heard the word

of God from them for the first time.

He was struck with these new words, and soon

applied for further teaching.

He attended the services at Chombala and received

catechetical instruction.

His earnestness was such, that, his desire for baptism was

soon complied with without hesitation.

He lives by his trade as formerly, and is no

burden to the mission; the whole of his conduct is a good witness to the truth of the

Gospel among his people.

His son, a youth of sixteen, when the father was baptized

and lost caste, went in a rage among the Musulmans and was circumecised. Poor lad !

Two adult persons were baptized in July.

Kocken (now Timothy) was baptized on

the 14th, and schoolmaster Jacob’s wife on the 28th. Her name is now Rachel ; with

the mother, her infant son Joseph was received into the church.

The accession of

these persons has been a source of great joy. Timothy is a fisherman of about 24 years

of age, a cousin of Paul the catechist.

Three years ago he tried to join the church of

Christ.

He started one day for Tellicherry intending to become a Christian.

His

parents and friends guessing his purpose, ran after him and prevailed on him to return

to his family ; the fairest young woman of the fisher caste was given to him in marri-

age, and they entertained no more fears of his defection.

However a year ago, his

wife persuaded him on the occasion of a great festival to pay a visit to Calicut,

After

the festival, when about to return home, his wife’s relatives asked him to settle

amongst them at Calicut, and exercise his calling as a physician. On his refusing to do

this, they threatened to take his wife from him; and as he persisted in going home,

they detained her. Thus he returned to Mahe a widower, having as it were regained

his freedom.

He came to Chombala on the Saturday before Pentecost with Ramatti

brother to the wife of the catechist Paul, and declared that he would now profess the

name of Christ and join the church.

On the evening of Pentecost, a number of their

relatives came lamenting and begging them to return home; Ramatti gave in, but

Kocken stood firm.

‘When Ramatti was carried off in triumph, a message was sent

that Kocken’s father, would come the following day and take away his son,

by fair means

or foul. Kocken said: *‘ Let me cut off the badge of caste, and they will, in despair,

let me alone.”’

He cut off his lock of hair, and was from that moment free,

father made no more attempts to remove him, and the young man felt at once that he

belonged to Christ and his people. Though not accustomed to manual labour, he has

cheerfully done the meanest work, and is growing in grace and knowledge. He may if

it be the Lord’s will, become a valuable member of the church, and labour in the ser-

PubLi ¢ PrREACHING. The catechists and Br. Muller preach the Gospel, to all

who are willing to listen. Generally however the people must be visited in their houses,

as there are no villages or large bazars near the station. Few people can read, and

they seem quite taken up with the cares of this world.

O that the Lord would pour

out His Spirit, and call the dead to life!

CATECHISTS,

It has pleased the Lord to call to his eternal home ABRAHAM, 2

valuable labourer.

He was born at Elattur near Calicut in 1807, of a family of the

Kuruppu caste.

He received a tolerable education, by which he was fitted for the

office of schoolmaster and physician; which form part of the privileges of that caste.

He was very skilful in the treatment of the diseases of children.

In 1843 he entered

the service of the mission, and established a school at Elattur, which prospered till his

™

conversion in 1846.

He was

He was baptized on the Christmas day of that year.

forsaken by his family and all his scholars; but he had found the Lord.

‘When the

storm had a little subsided, he re-opened the school with a few pupils.

There was no

hope of much usefulness for him as a schoolmaster ; yet his continued residence among

his own people conduced to the furtherance of the Gospel, which he adorned by his life

and conduct.

He therefore remained at Elattur, until the sad declension of catechist

Titus made it needful to call him to Calicut.

In his new office he was a faithful ser-

vant of the Lord, loved and esteemed by all who knew him. His death was caused by

an ulcer which formed in his thigh, and afterwards spread as far down as lis knees.

His pains were at times excruciating, but he was always patient.

““ What (he would

say) are my sufferings compared to the agony of our Lord in His passion.”’

He had

a presentiment from the beginning of his illness that it would prove fatal.

Still he

consented to be removed to the hospital, where he received every care which the kind-

ness of the doctor could bestow upon him.

On the last evening of his life, Br. Fritz

received from him the confident reply ‘I believe, yes! I believe,” when he asked him

if he was fully relying on Jesas Christ.

He died surrounded by members of the

church, amidst their prayers.

Praised be God who delivered our brother from heathen

darkness through faith in His word, and in the name of Jesus !

A severe trial has

befallen another catechist, Jacob, who was bitten by a mad dog in March last; a child

who was bitten at the same time died on the fortieth day.

Jacob’s life was graciously

spared, but he was for a long time in daily expectation of dying of hydrophobia. This

affliction has been a blessing to him.

Paulus, David, and Christian have laboured

without interruption, and are diligent in their work,

Tae CONGREGATION is on the whole in a satisfactory state,

Two young men

who had been excluded from the communion of the church, have been re-admitted ;

but five others alas! are still excluded.

Among the ten children baptized on new

sense of sin, and a desire of pardon ; her zeal affected her husband; and both earnestly

desired instruction and baptism.

MARK and ANNA, an unfortunate couple who had

lost caste by the connexion they had formed, (he being a Tier, and she of the carpenter’s

caste) came in great distress to the Nayadi colony at Kodacall, begging to be admitted

as laborers.

On ABrAmaMm’s recommendation they were received, but they would not

work; and at last it was found needful to dismiss them. This discipline proved wholesome.

Mark obtained work elsewhere; aund from that time they both began to seek better

things.

While preparing for baptism, they gave pleasing proofs of repentance.

May

they love the Lord much who has forgiven them much., JoHANN and THERESA and

their nephew JoNaAs are the first fruits of the Nayadis.

God be praised for this work

of His grace among the poor outcasts.

Luke a youth of the Chemmer caste, lost all

his family about two years ago by cholera and measles. He wandered as far as Cochin

under the impulse of desire for the acquisition of knowledge.

At that place he was told

that there were some foreign teachers at Calicut who would be likely to instruct him, so

to Calicut he resolved to go; but it was the monsoon ; and the ferries were too expen -

sive for a poor boy like him. By labouring a few days he obtained some money, and

set out.

Part of his property was stolen from him, and it was with difficulty he reach-

ed Calicut, half naked and starving.

He asked for instruction, which was given him

on condition of his working for his bread.

He was willing to do any kind of work,

and was sent to the mission farm at Cailandy.

There he worked so hard and was so

diligent in reading the scriptures, and showed so real a thirst after truth, that he was

soon received among the catechumeni, and baptized on the 1st of January. There are

at present twelve adults under instruction.

From this school

The girls’ boarding school now contains twenty-nine pupils.

since its establishment in 1845, ten girls have been married; ten have been taken away

by their relations ; one has been sent to Chiracal; and one child has died happily. God

be thanked !

The elder girls are preparing for confirmation, and it is hoped that sever-

al of them will be admitted at Easter to the Lord’s Supper.

The English school has

had a large accession of scholars during the year ; there are about one hundred boys of

different castes attending.

Many of the higher caste people are still afraid of the

school.

They mistrust the zeal and liberality of the PADRES ; and much dislike the

idea of having the doctrines of their shastras contradicted by European geography and

astronomy. Others are drawn to the school by the hope of worldly advancement to be

obtained by a little proficiency in English.

Biblical lessons are not objected to.

The

0O1d Testament History as far as the Life of Abraham, has been explained. The Roman

catholic bishop of Mangalore has forbidden the boys of his church to attend our school,

No wonder, he is afraid of the Bible !

PuBLic NATIVE SCHOOLS.

At Calicut, three Malayalam and one Tamil school

are supported by the liberality of a christian friend.

Four Malayalam schools at

Coilandy, one at Pudiangadi, one at Elattur, and one at Puttur, are under the charge

of the mission. All are provided for by the same friend. The schools at Coilandy have

been much reduced by the ravages and the dread of cholera, but are filling again. A

knowledge of the word of God is spreading among the people, through these schools,

‘The visits of the missionaries are often good opportunities for preaching to old and

young ; besides the heathen schoolmaster by teaching Scriptural truth, may himself be

converted, as was the case with Abraham.

DEFECTION OF THE NAYADIS,

For some time the Mussulman priests seem

33

to have been very zealous in a Talook near the borders of which Kodakal lies,

They

are in high repute among the lower castes, and seem to have set their hearts on the

conversion of all, even the Nayadis. At last they have succeeded in enticing our poor

colonists ; by what means, is not yet become quite manifest.

Almost al! of them were

circumcised, except the three who were baptized on New Year’s day, and their pa-

rents.

The Mussulmans were in great joy, processions were formed, in which the

Nayadi children were carried about in palanquins; fire-works and other tokens of

rejoicing announced the triumph of Mahommedanism to the people of Ponany and

Pudiangadi.

The colony is now deserted, but will be taken possession of by some

families from Calicut, when it may perhaps please the Lord to make the colony a bles-

sing to the neighbourhood. Hitherto it has been shunned as being the abode of Naya-

dis.

The past year has been full of trials to the mission family atid the

work ; but the mercies of God have abounded.

The love of an all-

wise Father manifests itself as much in chastisement as in blessings.

The mission is still new, and the brethren must sow, plant, and water,

in hope.

May the Lord in due time cause the seed to spring up, and

may a rich harvest of souls be gathered into the heavenly garners !

Kaity, the former residence of the ever-to-be-remembered founder of the

Nilagiri mission, G. Casamajor Esq. has been purchased by the Home

Committee; and made the head quarters of the mission.

The pro-

perty left by Mr. Casamajor’s will is administered by three trustees ;

the senior missionary being one of them, and acting as treasurer.

In the beginning of the year Br. Buhler (accompanied by Mrs. Buhler) returned

to the station from Mangalore, where he had for eight months been assisting, chiefly

in the instruction of the catechist class. The whole mission party took up their abode at

Kaity, which after the sale of the eostly furniture, became a suitable residengce for

E

34

‘them.

A short time afterwards Br. Buhler had an attack of fever after a visit to the

Todandd, when he slept at Kergaltore, after a fatigving day’s march.

This illness

lasted several months, and often assumed a dangerous aspect,

But the Lord was

pleased to hear the prayers of His people, and restored our brother to health and

strength.

His name be praised!|—Br. Metz’s health is sufficiently strong to enable

him to spend the greater part of his time among the Badagas, (he has lived much in

the Koonda villages) Occasionally, however he is subject to violent but short attacks

of his former disease.

Br. Moerike’s health has on the whole, been good. Two mis-

sion families have betaken themselves to this sanatarium.

Br. Buhrer. who had long

been ailing at Mangalore, removed to the Hills with his family, and has greatly bene-

fitted by the change.

Mrs, Irion from Tellicherry after a long and dangerous illness,

has sought refuge at Kaity, and seems to regain her strength.

During Br. Buhler’s

illness, the brethren could not engage as much as usual, in visiting the remoter parts

of the Hills.

Still some new missionary connexions have been formed with people,

related by blood and language to the Badagas who live on the S. and N, Western

parts of the Nilagiri ; and with the Irula tribe, who inhabit the fever haunted girdle of

the Hills.

Their headman seems to be a person of sense; he lives in a village at the

8. Western part of the Hills.

The Irulas have asked for the establishment of a school

among them, but we have no schoslmaster to send,

The time has not yet come, when

the inhabitants of these Hills will visit the mission; the lost sheep must be sought out

by the servants of the chief shepherd.

The great religious festivals of the Badaga and

Toda tribes furnish good opportunities for delivering the Gospel-message to larger

numbers than are to be met with in the small and scattered villages. At the great Tire

festivals of Mahalinga in Melur, the three brethren made their appearance.

On ap-

proaching the temple, the principal Gauda of the Mekanid, instigated by the brahmans,

requested them to take off their shoes; but the brethren told him ¢ that the ground

they were standing on did not belong to Mahalinga, but to the Creator of heaven and

earth ;”” and they received no furth:r molestation.

The great feat of the brahmans

at this festival is to walk or rather to dance over a pit full of half burning coals, from

six to eight feet long, which they do nearly naked; their bodies anointed, their hair

adorned with flowers, and holding a reed bent over their heads.

‘The miracalous in-

violability by fire of the brahmans, is matter of great astonishment to the poor ignorant

Badagas.

The brethren prayed that the Lord would expose the tricks of the priests,

and behold one of the brahmans burnt his foot so badly, that after a few days, he came

to the brethren begging for a plaister to heal his wound !

This circumstance when it

became known, had a great effect on the people.

However the brahmans said, *‘ that

the man who had been injured, must have been guilty of some heinous offence, for which

Mahalinga punished him in this extraordinary manner.”’

Satan is never at a loss for a

new lie.

Some effect has certainly been produced on the minds of many by the preach-

ing of the Gospel ; but nowhere yet have we seen a real change of heart.

Sometimes

the Badagas will acknowledge the truth of Seripture doctrines; heathen ceremonies

are at times discontinued ; for instance, the worship of Gangamma, the river goddess,

has been stopped in two places; still these are but foreshadowings, as it were, of a

change yet to come,

May the Lord hasten the day of grace! In February 1850, a

sanyasi, who had been on trial for one year and a half was baptized at Kaity in presence

of several friends of the mission. He had given good proofs of his sincerity in breaking

off his sanyasi habit of opium eating ; still the brethren were not without fears for him

on account of a proud and self righteous spirit, which at times manifested itself in him S

though he would express sorrow for his misconduct on such occasions.

After his bap-

tism he was tempted to drink brandy, and what was worse, tried to hide his sin.

He

»

3

3

was sent in July to Cannanore in hopes that the change, and cémmunion with a more

numerous native church, especially with the more advanced members of it, would be

good for him.

But alas ! the journey down was too trying for him ; he tasted opium

once again; and when subjected to church discipline, his proud spirit rebelled, he sud.

denly left Cannanore, and has not since been heard of.

The relapse of poor David has

been a sore grief to the brethren.

Of the three schools, the one at Kugaltone has been

given up because the master fell sick, and went back to the low country. The Kotagiri

school is not in a very satisfactory state.

The Kaity school has eighteen pupils who

are taught by the catechist Satyanaden. They make good progress and promise to fur-

nish the Mission in due time with efficient schoolmasters.

Four of them are inséructed

in English.

Some of the scholars seem to receive the word of God in truth. One of

them has been flogged by his father for praying to a Heavenly Father. Some of them

are called ‘‘ SErMoON MaKERS” by their people, and suspected of a desire to become

Christians. From a letter written by one of them to a friend at Mangalore, we extract

the following passages. ““My soul is very uneasy, for it is fit for hell; because I am a

great sinner, therefore the Lord will not receive me.

I desire to be a Christian, but 1

cannot forsake father and mother and all relations.

Yet the Lord says, ‘‘no man can

serve two masters.”” I pray to God all day for the forgiveness of my sins. Though I

pray to God, yet I am a heathen ; once I dreamt that Mr. Casamajor touched my head,

and said, “Nanja I will make you a present;”” that present was like ared stone. I awoke

and wept for him. 1 am very sorry for him. Pray to God for mwe lest I be lost.” Many

a heart among the Badagas old and young, is we hope from time to time visited by

the Spirit of grace, calling to remembrance the word they have heard.

May the Lord

reveal unto them His glory !

Canclusion,

We made a mistake last year in saying that our Committee was

in debt to a large amount.

We were ourselves misled by a letter, the

import of which we misanderstood, and which was afterwards explain-

ed.

The expenditure of the past year, has been provided for, by

extraordinary legacies, and by the continued liberal support of our

Indian friends, notwithstanding a considerable falling offin the regular

home contributions.

We hope and trust that our friends will not

repent nor tire of their wonted liberality ; to which we now appeal, by

laying before them an honest repnrr. of our labors, and a frank state-

ment of our expenditure.

Being the only Protestant missionaries in

the districts we have occupied, we are free to cluim the sympathy and

help of every Evangelical Christian who desires the spread of the

Gospel in India. O that this great country may become subject to

the Lord Jesus Christ during the stewardship, and by the instrumen=

tality of the Christian nation, He has in His merey, and wisdom en-

trusted with its government.
