IIIIIIII & THE ELEVENTH REPORT OF THE GERMAN EVANQELICAL MISSION; IN THE CANARA, SOUTHERN MAHRATTHA, AND VAT A /a\ TALAM PROVINGCES: AND ON THE NILACIRIS. BANGALORE: PRINTED AT THE WESLEYAN MISSION PRESS. 1851. 2 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. 6 CANARA. MANGALORE STATION. CONGREGATION. Rev. C. L. Greiner and Mrs. Greiner ; Rev. A.

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 of Samuel one of the Utchila converts, has been added to the church; he is 20 years old, and promises to follow the footsteps of his brother, who witnessed a good confes- sion during his short christian course; he was attacked by cholera, and died-in peace A near relative of Joshua the former with the name of Jesus Christ upon- his lips.

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, whose wife is his mother’s sister. His two elder brothers had been impressed with the truth of the Gospel, but turned back; and one of them afterwards died in enmity His unhappy death had a wholesome effect upon and contempt of the Gospel. 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. On account of the opening at Gudde, Isaac, who formerly used to attend the lessons of the catechist class, has been withdrawn, and placed among the new converts gs reader and catechist. Backsripers. The Pujari Korage (see last répdrt) has returned to heathen- 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 man from Kauru, who had endeavoured to join us, has drawn back from fear of the world. Several members of the congregation have been excommunicated on account of drunkenness Six of our people have died in the course of the year; among them was Samuel, who was carried off by cholera, after he had assisted many who had been attacked B 10 by the epidemic. In life and in death he behaved as it became a disciple of Christ, Six marriages have been celebrated, eighteen children baptized, Simeon and Andrew however The brethren have had no time for preaching tours. have visited Utchila, Gudde, Kallianpur, and Adya; and have had access to the minds of some people. The poor house under Simeon’s charge, affords an asylum to many a poor forlorn sowul. To all of them the Gospel is made known ; some also during the past year have bsen received into the church. 2. SCHOOLS, &c. Rev. H. Moegling, \Rev. G. Wiirth, Rev. W. Hoc]s,‘ S. Miiller, G'. Boswger. 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. Towards the end of June however, Br. Wiirth, fo‘rmerly at Hoobly, came to his assistance; and from:July 1850 the accustomed Silas who left on regularity has been restored to the school. account of sickness, has not yet regained his health. Isaac has Thus been put into active service, under pressing necessity. the number of scholars has been reduced to nine. They will 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 education, * No Scholars have been received since September, 12 The annexed list will shew the present positon of the School LIST OF SCHOLARS Roman Total.

The work of the ¢‘Bibliotheca Carnataca’’ has been resumed, the Madras Government having most liberally entrusted a large pumber of manuscripts from the college library to Br. Moegling. One school book has been prepared by order of the Bombay Board of Education for the use of their Ca- narese schools. A secon d volume is now in the press; some old tracts have been reprin- ted.

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. +These 12 letters give the correspondence between a young and ncobleminded Brahman convert and a wicked relative and former friend, in which the hearts of both are laid bare.

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, in another family, has had a salutary effect upon the hearts of the parents.

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. B SOUTHERN MAHRATTA COUNTRY DHARWAR. Rev. G. Weigle, and Mrs. Weigle; Rev. H.

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. B — 16 HUBLY. Rev. J. Muller, and Mrs. Muller.

The congregation still consists of only two members; but several are waiting for baptism. 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- ed by their relatives ; but after a few days turned out of their houses on account of the enmity of the whole chste.

There 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. A house has been given to them, where they have Chinnappa’s wife seems to have been set up in their trade, working for their bread. been drawn away from her family, not only by attachment to her husband, but also by higher motives. To the surprize of Br. Miiller the people seem to take no notice of these last steps taken by the objects of their formerly lost indignation. 1 7 ENQUIRERS On the same day with Chinnappa and his wife another young weaver, an acquaintance of Paul’s, came to live on the mission ground ; his name is Genappa ; his village is at some distance. He staid nine days; his relatives came to take him away; he was not strong enough in faith to withstand their entreaties, and returned Since then, however, he has written to Paul declaring that he still desires and hopes to join us Shortly after a Linga priest on horseback, made his appearance, and desired to be received into the mission.

Hiller and his family have for several months suffered from an epidemic ophthalmia, On the whole Br. Hiller's health has not been so good as in former years. Br. Kies also was ailing for a few months, but enjoyed good health during the greater part of the year. Br. Leonberger, who has succeeded Br. Stanger, (now at Bellary in connection with the London Mission,) in the mnanagement of the mission colony at Malasamudra, has entered upon his work and has now passed the period of preparation. He also suffered from ophthalmia for some weeks, but otherwise his health is good. Until the 1st of September 1850, Br. Kies lived at Malasamudra attending to the pastoral duties of the colony, and assisting the new brother, From that time to the 14th December he was absent on an extensive missionary tour. During his absence Br, Hiller took charge of tbe small Malasamudra congregation.*® The Gospel is becoming more and more extensively known in the The so- district over which the operations of the brethren extend. called Nudi people especially appear to open their minds more freely to the truth of the word of God than others.

Br. Kies, accompanied by Christian, spent several months in an extensive missiona y tour At Galadagudda he staid three weeks He was chiefly engaged with Lingaites who believe in the Nudi of Basava He expoynded to them the principal doctrines of the word of God. Every evening he held an assembly with those who were inclined to hear, opening his addresses with prayer On Sunday he conducted regular service, which was well attended Five persons declared them- selves determined to receive baptism as soon as a missionary would settle among them. Others made similar professions On the first of October Br. Kies arrived at Danati, where Christian had formerly lived The latter confessed to his former disciples, that his teaching, which they had received from him in times past, was false. By the grace of God he himself had come to this knowledge; and it was his duty to tell them the truth, and to exhort them to follow him in becoming disci les of Jesus Christ, and receiving the word of God ¢ Having done this’’ he said ‘‘ I have freed my conscience and cease to be responsible for you in the sight of God: you must now judge and act for yourselves. »~ S everal of them appeared to be moved, but they openly confessed that the ties of family and of caste were too strong for them. On the 8th October the travellers came to Chabbaneer. A man of the name of Lingappa, who had last year promised to.remove to Bettighery and to join the brethren speedily made his appearance He confessed with sorrow that his wife, who was unwilling to leave her home, and rejected the word of God, had kept him back hitherto, and declared his readiness to forsake his wife and children and He was come to Bettigherry to be baptized if Br. Kies commanded him to do so exhorted to patience and prayerful perseverance regarding his wife and invited to visit Bettigherry after harvest time. 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.

Kies took solemn leave of them and departed. During Br. Kies’ absence the Christians of Malasamudra joined the congregation at The Lord’s supper is administered to them Bettigherry on Sundays for divine service. 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, 1 ey e s % MALAYALAM. 1 CANNANORE, TAHI, CHIRACAL, AND ANJERCANDY. ly Rev.

HeATHEN SCHOOLMASTERS are not worth much, and are only employed be- cause Christian schoolmasters are not yet to be had; besides the establishment of a school in a village serves the missionary as a point d’ appui. 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.

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. g PuBLic PREACHING in the streets of Cannanore is regularly kept up. The poor § house is also frequently visited. The great festivals at Payawur (Feb. 13—20) and at Taliparamba (March 10—18) were again visited by the whole company of Cannanore evangelists. The people listened. Once the brethren were driven away by a shower th of stones. None however was dangerously hurt. The brethren returned from both Ui battle fields with great joy, praising God for the the glory of their ministry among the 8 thousands of heathen worshippers. From 2nd—20th December, Br.

The mission has sustained a grievous loss in the death of the devo- ted Thomas, who entered into his eternal rest on the 2nd of May last, He was he attacked by the small pox in April, but quite recovered from that trying disease ; shortly afterwards he was seized with cholera, which put an end to his earthly life in a 5) few hours. It is well with him; he is now, we feel assured, with the Lord, whom he it loved. In the beginning of the year 1846, a sanyasi from Tamrachéri, a place to the N. E. of Calicut, came to the mission house to ask for alms, bein g on a pilgrimage to Gokarna. When asked about his pilgrimage he said ¢ Like the rest of men, I have 26 many sins, and I go to wash them away.” 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 thirty daysin examining the doctrines. At the end of that time he had tasted too much of the good word of God to think of leaving us; he read diligently and at the same time cheerfully performed every labor which, in order to try his sincerity, we thought He was then employed fit to impose on him. On Pentecost 1546 he was ba ptized. as a workman in the priating office, where he behaved in an exemplary manner, All the while he continued to study the word of God with great relish, and would often put guestions on some passage or doctrine. After a few months, he was considered From that fit for the service of the Gospel, and entered upon the duties of a catechist. time to his death, he proved himself a faithful servant of the Lord. His zeal, patience, love of sinners, and willingness to suffer shame for Christ’s sake, would have done credit to an advanced and experienced Christian, His course was short; he ripened quickly; the Lord has taken him to Himself. As for us, we have wept for him; as long as he was with us, he gave us only joy. To the praise of God we give this testi- mony to our departed brother. Thomas’ place has been supplied by Mattai of Worda= kara. Mattu formerly teacher in the boarding school has gone to Edakadu, one of our school and preaching stations; he is assisted by Gabriel -the senior boy of the boarding school, who was married last February. Taddi is now in charge of the junior classes of the boarding school, and superintends the whole number during their work- ing hours. The Sunday and Trae CONGREGATION is much in the same state aslast year. week-day services are regularly attended ; there is certainly a considerable amount of scriptural knowledge in the minds of the people old and young; nor are proofs wanting of the power of divine grace and of the sanctifying influence of the Spitit of God. Still there is much more of outward profession than inward life, more of head-knowledge than hearty love of Christ. O that the heart of all might be touch- ed with a due sense of their own unworthiness, and of the surpassing love of God in Christ towards lost sinners. The greater part of the congregation live together at Nettur; they generally attend the morning and evening prayers in the boarding school hall. The women (the majority of them at least) spend a few hours daily at the mission house engaged in needle work, under the superintendence of Mrs. Irion or Mrs. Muller, while some useful book is read aloud to them. Once a week the The men women meet for the purpose of reading the Scriptures, and social prayer. have also a private meeting every week. Baprisms. '['wo women, inmates of the poor-house, have been baptized; both evinced a real desire for the salvation of their souls. Their progress in knowledge, and the apparent earnestness of their profession, as well as their conduct. have been very satisfactory. May they grow in grace! Eight youths belonging to the mission school have, after due preparation, been baptized ; may they serve the Lord whose they are, and become members of the church which is on high. Besides these, four children of Christian parents have been baptized. CATECHUMENI.

Knowing himself to be a sinner, he desired to be cleansed by the blood of Christ; and exhorted his companions to seek the ‘‘ one thing needful.” On the evening preceding his death, he called all the boys, and entreated them to turn to the Lord, to love Him, to serve Him alone, and to set their hearts on things above He asked them to sing a hymn, and then took solemn leave of all On the next day, they again assembled around him; he was too weak to say much ; he longed for his dissolution, and called on the Lord to take him to Himself. A hymn was sung; and while prayer was being offered for him, he fell as- leep without, as it were, tasting the bitterness of death The Lord be praised for His grace!

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, His T e, aabas o SR ARG ol - s R ol 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- PO E st i e 30 vice of the Gospel. Rachel had been a great enemy, though she did not altogether forsake her husband. The knowledge which she had of the word of God rather harden- In ed her heart ; she was a sore vexation to Jacob ; but the Lord had mercy on her. May last she was attacked by cholera which was then sweeping off many. Rachel She began to know and feel her was spared, and danger turned her heart to God. sins, and to believe in the name of Jesus whom she had so long despised. Her father in the mean time inherited a large property but she had found a better treasure, and bears patiently the hatred and contempt of her own wealthy relations. CATECHUMENI.

On account of quarrelsome conduct she had been excommunicated, but on amendment was about to be restored to church fellowship, when she was removed. The relative who had been most hostile to her, In Korea, still a heathen, was carried off by the same disease on the day following. November 1850 a fisher family from Mahe,—Kunken, his wife and daughter—came to Chombala; they have withstood all the efforts of their relatives, and are now pre- paring for baptism. May the Cord preserve them in His truth and grace! 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! T o e CALICUT. The Rev. J. M.

The girls’ boarding school is doing well. The English school at Calicut, and the Mala- bar schools, supported by a friend of the mission, are flourishing. On the other hand, they have had severe trials. One catechist died after a lingering illuess, His end was peace ; but faithful labourers are not easily replaced. The poor Nayadi colony at Kodakall, has suddenly come to an end through Musulman proselytism. The day school for Portuguese and Indo-Briton girls, has been closed for want of pupils being willing to attend, May the Lord pour out His Spirit on those who bear His name and may His glory be revealed to the heathen ! 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 year’s day were three girls belonging to the boarding school. CONVERTS, AARON and REBEcca were Nairs, and have long been in the 3 9 = service of the mission. They attended church for years, and gave up caste—but there they stopped. The husband was not so indifferent as the wife, but there appeared no At last the wife was touched with a desire after spiritual things in either of them. 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. He who can bring good out into a victory of His grace! .of evil, may also convert this triumph of darkness Pl — NILAGIRI. Rev. M.

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.
