REPORT.

TaE past year, the seventeenth of our Mission, is one of the

most important in the History of our Western India Church. Our

Mission has had an increase of more than two hundred souls, a nume-

ber never reached in former years,

A small new Church has been

formed at Guledgudda, (7 coss from Kaladgi, 18 coss from Bettigher-

ry,) by the baptism of twelve souls, ten adalts and two children, from

among the Lingaites.

At Hubly also, converts from the same class

are coming from time to time, and they appear sound and true men :

these are cheering signs of an approaching day of grace for that part

of the Canarese people.

Four brethren from our native land have

joined our ranks, a most seasonable and valuable accession.

One of

them had finished his studies at the university of Tiibingen, when our

Committee sent him a call in the name of the Lord, and commissioned

him to take charge of the Catechist Institution at Mangalore, the

health of whose former master was then despaired of. Another of the

new company is the first native Missionary of our Society, one of the

three Brahmau converts who were baptized in 1844, The third has

been appointed to assist Br. Hebich at Cannanore, to relieve him of

part of his multifarious work. The fourth has taken charge of the

Mangalore Printing Offices, He will soon establish a typographic

ptess, for which new Canarese types are preparing at Basle,

The first class of Catechists regularly trained in the Mangalore

Institution, has entered on active service as Catechists and School-

masters in different parts of the Mission, and a new and larger class.

has been received into the School,—for the duties of which, the two.

brethren mentioned above have been set apart,

But the most remarkable feature of the past year was the arrival

among us, of the Principal of the Basle Missionary Institution, who

4

was deputed by our Comimittee to visit and examine their India Mis-

sion, The Rev. J. Josenhans arrived at Mangalore on the 14th Octo-

ber 1851,

He spent a month in preparing for the general visitation,

On

and in inspecting the Mangalore Mission with its out-stations.

the 15th November he left for the Southern Mahrattha country sta-

tions,

On the way thither he staid two days at Honore, where he

decided upon re-establishing the Mission, which had been long discon-

tinued.

A Church had been built by F. Lascelles, Esq. which was

offered to the Mission, if a Missionary would occupy the station.

Br.

Ammann, formerly at Mulky, was charged with the re-commencement

of the work at Honore.

The greater part of December was spent by

Mr. Josenhans, at the stations of Hubly, Dharwar, Guledgudda, Betti-

gherry and Malasamudra.

From Christmas Day, to the 8th of Janu-

ary 1852, he stayed at Mangalore—On the 4th January the Catechist

Class was dismissed, each of the young men receiving his instructions

and a blessing from Mr. Josenhans.

The remainder of January and

the first days of February were, given to the Malayalim Mission.

From Calicut our friend proceeded to the Nilagiri Hills, where he

stayed 20 days.

On his return to the Coast he paid a visit to Coim-

batoor and to Palghaut, where a new station in connexion with our

After a

Mission will soon be established, if it be the Lord’s will,

rapid journey along the coast, Mr. Josenhans returned to Mangalore on

the 15th March.

The ensuing fortnight was employed by him in

making the preparations necessary for the third General Couference of

The

our Mission, which Mr. Josenhans wished himself to conduct.

Conference assembled on the 29th March, and a week was spent in

important and, we hope, fruitful deliberations.

On the 6th of May

Mr. Josenhans embarked again for Europe.

has thus been among us upwards of 6 months ;—he has labored dili-

gently and incessantly with the energy of a zealous man fresh from

Europe ; —he could not perhaps have borne such a pressure of work

He has embodied the result of his observations aund

much longer.

enquiries in a letter which may serve for a Report of our own, and

which will be much more interesting to our friends, than any account

we could ourselves furnish of our own labors and the progress of

our work.

Many are the advantages of personal visits of Deputations from

Missionary Committees to their foreign Missions. Personal inter-

course is much more satisfactory in every respect, than the most

accurate and complete written communications,

There are many

things in a Mission, an exact knowledge of which is needful for the

formation of a sound judgment on its state, circumstances and indi-

vidualities, and of which a correct idea can never be obtained by, nor

conveyed effectually to, the friends of Missions in Europe, except

through one of their number, resolving to come to see himself. The

Missionary brethren themselves, having long been away from hLome,

and gradually losing their own remembrance of things and persons at

home, become apt to misunderstand and to misinterpret the conduct,

principles, commands and instructions of their Committees,—unless

they are refreshed from time to time by the visit of a Deputation from

home, and cheered by the presence of a friend, who can enter person-

ally into all their affairs, and who by putting himself actually for a

time in the place of the Missionary, learns naturally to sympathize with

him, and to feel for him, and is thus enabled to become the faithful in-

terpreter and hearty advocate of a cause and of brethren, who have

become familiar and dear to him by personal investigation and living

intercourse.

The native congregations are also encouraged and

strengthened by the presence aniong them of a representative of that

European Church or Christian Corporation, to whose zeal and love they

owe both the Gospel which they have heard and believed, and the men

who have published it among them, and are devoting their lives to the

service of their souls in Christ’s name,

We thank God for having inclined the hearts of our Committee

to send our esteemed Principal as a Deputation to their Indian Mis-

sion ; for having granted to him a forward mind to offer himself for so

arduous a task, and for having enabled him to accomplish the work

undertaken in a manner so satisfactory both to himself and to the

brethren of the Mission.

May his visit as it has commenced, so con-

tinue to bear good fruit to the furtherance of the kingdom of God

amongst us!

We earnestly pray that the Lord may be pleased to bring our

esteemed friend safely back to his home, and to cheer by his presence

6

and his fresh tidings of the Indian Mission, the hearts of our Commit-

tee and all our friends in Germany and Switzerland.

We are happy to substitute for a report of our own the subjoined

letter of our beloved l?rincipal, which he wrote a few days previous

to his departure from India.

To the Friends and Supporters of the Basle

Lvangelical Mission.

CHRIsTIAN FRrIENDS.—Being about to leave this country, to

which the Committee of the Basle Evangelical Missionary Socie-

ty have sent me, for the purpose of visiting all their Missionary

stations in Western India, I take up my pen to give you an

account of the results of my Visitation.

In doing so, I con-

ceive that I am fulfilling a twofold duty incumbent upon me as

the Deputy of our Committee. In the first place I feel constrain-

ed, in the name of our Missionary Society to present to you,

who have hitherto befriended and aided our Evangelical labors

in this country, our most heartfelt thanks for your continued

and extensive support, which alone has enabled us to carry on

our Missionary labors in this country upon the present extended

scale; and in the second place I feel it to be my duty, earnestly

to solicit in the name of our Lord, whom I have ‘the happiness

to serve, the continuation of your prayers as well as of your

ministrations in behalf of our work.

I undertake this duty

the more cheerfully, because during my sojourn in India I have

felt afresh and more strongly than ever, that it is a blessed task

to co-operate in the proclamation of the Gospel with so many

thousands of believers, gathered out of all nations and tongues,

and because I am enabled to say to the praise of God, that

the state of our Missions in India, such as I know it to be

from personal inspection, has exceeded my expectations. It

must indeed be confessed, that throughout our Mission, and

7

even within the circle of our Missionaries, I have met not only

with things that are pleasing and creditable, but also with

manifold defects and weaknesses.

I have been obliged, at his

own request, to discharge one of our European lay brethren, who

after a trial of some years had not succeeded in adequately filling

his post ; and I had to advise one of our Missionaries, who had

for many years thrown himself and the Committee into a good

deal of trouble, to make an exchange of stations. He preferred,

however, leaving India for America, where he hopes to find

occupation as a preacher to a German congregation.

Some of our younger Missionaries have not yet acquired

that experience and that maturity in the spiritual life, which

are needful for successfully cultivating in the power of God the

hard soil, upon which the seed of the Word of Life is to be

sown. On the other hand, there are men among our Missiona-

ries, who “preach Christ and Him crucified in demonstration of

the Spirit and of power ;”’—and to a// our Brethren I am ena-

bled to give this testimony, thatthey “press toward the mark

of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus,” though some do

this with more energy, decision and devotedness than others.—

It has been especially gratifying to me to find, that our Mission-

aries are zealously employed in breaking down by word and

deed that middle wall of partition which nature and history,

sin and prejudice, have erected among the various castes of

Hindoos, as well as between us and our native brethren.

Our

Missionaries act in full accordance with the principles of our

Society, when they, although in no wise denying their connexion

with the Evangelical Churches of Germany and Switzerland,

yet retain that largeness of heart and independence of mind,

which attaches more importance to the fundamental unity than

to the individual differences of the Evangelical Churches and

communities, and which esteems love to Christ and His re-

deemed ones higher than the glory of orthodoxy and church-

manship.

Lastly I am happy to be able to announce to you,

8

that the General Conference of our Missionaries has spontane-

ously acknowledged and re-established the original principle of

our Society, that its laborers are neither to receive a fixed salary,

nor to accumulate private property out of the savings made

from the funds placed at their disposal, but they will only

receive the amount actually required for their maintenance, in

faith depending on the Lord, who accounts every laborer worthy

of his hire, and confiding in the love of the friends of Missions

as well as the affectionate care of the Committee.

With regard

to our Missionary work, it cannot be denied, that the results

which our Society have hitherto witnessed by the grace of God,

are but a weak and feeble beginning of that, which will and

must come to pass according to the promises of the Lord. But

he who “despises the day of small things,” shows his ignorance

of the laws of God’s kingdom; he who knows what exertions

and struggles must precede the redemption of even one soul

from death unto life, or the laying of the foundation of a

Christian Church in the barren and hard soil of heathenism,

will certainly praise God for what He has done, and yet will do

From our most northerly station

“in our Missionary field.

(Guledgudda in the Belgaum Collectorate) to Kotaral and

Palghaut in the Southern extremity of the District occupied by

us, and from the Western Coast to Kotagherry on the Nilagiris,

we have only 13 large stations, on which European laborers are

permanently located, with 19 or 20 out-stations. The number

of baptized Christians at all these stations does not. much

exceed 1000, a small number in comparison with the masses of

the Hindoos and Mahommedan inhabitants of this populous

coast, and with the crowds of Roman Catholics.

Besides, we

cannot deny that the spiritual life of these newly established

But on the other hand

congregations is in some cases feeble.

we derive great comfort and encouragement from the fact, that

with the exception of Kaity, the place most recently occupied

on the Nilagiris, each one of our stations is able to point to a

9

small congregation, gathered out of the natives of the place

itself or of its neighbourhood, as to a visible fruit of its labor.

Another fact worthy of notice is, that at least in one place, (at

Anjarcandy), the Lord has enabled us to bring the whole hea-

then population within the pale of the Christian Church.

Similar importance I attach to the fact, that we have succeeded

in establishing purely Christian settlements at Chombala, Coi-

landy and Cotaral.

As to the spiritual life of our small congre-

gations, there is indeed a great variety in the degrees of spiritual

advancement, which they have attained to; but I have found

several among them well instructed in the Word of God, fervent

in prayer, and in the case of many individuals adorned with

Christian graces.

Indeed I do not hesitate to say, that when

observing theseé newly gathered congregations at seasons of

public worship, or when conversing with individuals regarding

their inward state, I was often grieved by the contrast present-

ed by these infant Churches with the present distracted state

of European Christendom !

Sometimes, when visiting one of

the humble abodes of our Hindoo Christians, for instance the

one in which our beloved Catechist Timothy lately finished his

pilgrimage, at Mahe, I could not but ask myself, if I should

have attained to such a degree of love to Christ and the brethren,

as that manifested in the lives and deaths of some of these new

converts, had I been born and educated in circumstances similar

to theirs.

The influence of our Mission on the population of

the country at large is evidenced by a variety of facts.

I was

highly gratified by observing the degree of regard, which our

Missionaries (and I may say the Mission itself,) have acquired

in the eyes of the entire population, for instance at Mangalore,—

and I was truly surprised to observe during my tours, the ex-

tent to which the Gospel of Christ is known throughout the

country, the interest taken by the heathen population in our

movements and undertakings, and the attention which is paid

by the people even during their festivals, and (at least in the

B

10

Southern Mahratta country) in their very Temples, to the

preaching of the Gospel of Christ. There is, however, a consi-

derable difference with regard to the development of our work,

as well as with regard to the difficulties it has to contend with,

in the various Districts which we have occupied. I shall there-

fore endeavour to give you a short description of the peculiar

features of each of our Missionary Districts, beginning with the

Mission on the Hills.

NILAGIRIS.

The tribe of mountaineers, towards whom our Missionaries

have hitherto chiefly directed their attention, is that of the

Badagas (Burghers).—This tribe, for several centuries secluded

from the rest of the Indian world, is very ignorant but less

depraved and more accessible to the truth, than the people of

the coast and of the Dekhan.

There is something patriarchal

in the public, as well as in the domestic life of the Badagas, as

you may see from the circumstance, that the villages consist, pro-

perly speaking, only of a few large houses. Our Missionaries,

though they desire to employ every means calculated to awaken

and enlighten this tribe, must confine themselves to conversa-

tion and preaching, as long as the adult population cannot read.

This deficiency, will be gradually though slowly removed by the

working of schools.

One favorable circumstance is this, that

the manners of the people admit of a much more familiar inter-

course with Europeans than elsewhere. The consequence of

this 1s,

that there is probably no Badaga man on the Hills, who

has not had the Gospel preached to him ; some of the people, es-

pecially some of the headmen of the villages, being ‘““more noble,”

But for

have received the word with great readiness of mind.

the present, an obstacle to their conversion has arisen from a

circumstance, which at first appeared to be rather favorable

than otherwise, the people are more closely connected with each

other than almost any other tribe ;—some say: “Heathenism

11

must be abolished and Christianity established by a decree

of the people at large ;”’ some express a hope that this will soon

be done ; they may be right ; but a different course is equally

possible ; the union of the tribe may be dissolved, and then a

new era in their Missionary History will begin.

In the SoutHERN MAHRATTA CoUNTRY, where our Society

has labored since 1837, a small native Congregation has existed

at Dharwar for many years past,—but most of its numbers are

Tamulians, and this exotic character of its members is the cause,

why the Church of Dharwar has not yet attained to its proper

vigour.

At the other stations a long time elapsed before any

signs of Life appeared.

At last a small band of vigorous

youths and men, weavers, coppersmiths, and goldsmiths by caste,

broke through the fetters of their heathenish superstitions at

Hoobly, and about the same time some headmen of the Nudi sect,

at Guledgudda, who were soon followed by others, declared

themselves in favor of the Gospel. Even at Bettigherry, which

was a station we feared we should be obliged to relinquish, seve-

ral families have come to a saving knowledge of the truth during

the last few months.—We rejoice in these signs for good. But

why have they only now made their appearance? The people

above the Ghats are less refined, more independent, and

therefore less susceptible of impressions and more apt to resist.

Besides, the Linga worship, a modern religion formed under the

influence of Mahommedan and Christian ideas, and for this very

reason more vigorous than other Pagan systems, still enjoys

undiminished influence and reputation. This no doubt accounts

for the slow progress of Christianity in these parts; nevertheless

I cannot help thinking that our success might perhaps have

been earlier also in this district, if more boldness and less cal-

culating prudence had entered into the work, and if the fitting

up of the cradle, into which the future babes in Christ were to

be placed, had engrossed less attention and care.

In CaANARA our Missionaries have hitherto pljoclaimed the

12

gospel principally to the Tulu people, and Christianity has struck

its roots almost exclusively within the limits of the Tulu country

The nucleus of the numerous congregation at Mangalore, as well

as of that at Mulki and the neighbouring out-stations, consists

of Tulu speaking cocoanut cultivators (Billavas.) Tulu is the

prevailing (but not the only) ecclesiastical language of our con-

oregations in this District

A superficial observer might gather

from this, that our Canara Mission would seem either pur-

posely to have confined its influence to this narrow sphere of

usefulness, or at least to have met with little or no success in

Yet

on a closer examination

other parts of the province

things wear a different aspect

On the one hand, the number

of preachers in this District (there are only five) is too small to

fill the whole province with the sound of the Gospel, more

especially as the Tulu District alone required their most stren-

uous exertions

On the other hand the influence of the gene-

ral institutions established at Mangalore, reached not only, (nor

even principally) the tribes inhabiting the province of Canara

but in a certain sense, it extended throughout our Mission.

In the same way as the Church at Mangalore, being the oldest

of our Christian Communities, is the most consolidated, and may

be in many respects, regarded as the model of the other con-

gregations, also the institutions established at Mangalore, have

always exercised an undeniable influence over the whole of our

Mission.

However the time seems to have arrived for extend-

ing our operations also towards other classes in Canara,

who

do not speak Tulu, and towards the more remote parts of the

province

The re-occupation of Honore, and the separation of

the out-stations Uchila and Gudde from Mangalore, and their

being attached to Mulki, may be regarded as a small beginning

of this extension

Still there remains an important task for our

Mangalore Mission, namely that of reaping the fruits of so many

interesting and toilsome hours spent in intercourse with the

higher classes of the Mangalore population, and founding a

second Canarese-speaking congregation

13

The MaLABAR DistricTt I consider as the most fruitful

of our Missionary fields. Notwithstanding the fanaticism of

the Moplas, and the distracted state of the province arising

from this cause; notwithstanding the insulated location of the

families on their secluded Parambus, notwithstanding even the

badness of the schools, (which are the worst I saw any where),

the Missionary work bears its richest fruits! It is-here thata

village inhabited by several hundred people of the Puleya caste,

has been entirely Christianised ;—here three Christian colonies

are springing up, which were founded in the midst of great

difficulties,—and here we have lately succeeded in occupying

one of the strong holds of brahmanism. And not only do our

out-stations compass a greater extent of country, but also the

province from Taliparamba to Palghaut is being filled with the

sound of the Gospel. Lastly this province rejoices in the great-

est number of able Catechists, and has produced the greatest

number of useful books.

May it perhaps be the intention of

Divine Mercy to indemnify this province by divine comfort, for

the temporal disasters

with which it is overwhelmed ?

It

remains to be noticed that Malabar is not only the strongest

(numerically speaking) of our Districts; but fortunately all our

laborers in that province are men of some standing and experi-

ence, who co-operate in pleasing harmony.

With regard to a Liturgy and Church discipline, we have

hitherto contented ourselves with deciding the general ques-

tions connected with these matters ; regarding particular points

we allowed the individual Missionaries to adapt the practice of

our Continental churches to the wants and peculiarities of our

Missionary congregations.

In pursuing this plan, our Society

was guided by the conviction, that it would be neither expe-

dient nor just, to transfer without alteration the arrangements

of the Evangelical churches of Germany and Switzerland to

the soil of India.

But with the increasing strength of our con-

gregations the want of some regulation calculated to unite and

-

14

systematize our Church Government, has been increasingly

perceptible, while at the same time the experience we have

gained, enables us to act with less apprehension of danger in

this difficult part of practical Divinity. I therefore have appoint-

ed a Commission for the compilation of a Liturgy, and a collec-

tion of church regulations, in accordance with the general

principles agreed upon at home, and this Commission finished

its labors so as to admit of the draft of a Liturgy, being laid

before the general conference of our Missionaries for their ap-

proval, and now the sanction of the Committee is all that is

needed, for the purpose of introducing this Liturgy amongst

our Missionary congregations. The collection of church regu-

lations could not be completed during my presence in India, but

I have taken the necessary steps towards the completion of the

labor, which is already begun.

‘We have three kinds of schools.

The first which we deem

the most important, and to which we pay the greatest attention,

are our Parochial Schools, which are partly mere elementary

schools, partly Boarding Institutions for the education of Chris-

tian children, as well as such others of heathen origin, who have

been given over to the Mission by their parents or friends.

In

former years, we used not only to instruct, but also to clothe

ani feed all the Christian children of our congregations, but of

late those boys whose parents are able to educate them, have

been sent back to their own families, and provision for their

instruetion in the Word of God, and in the usual branches of

school learning has been made in the Parochial Schools, while

orphans and those children whose parents are unable from

poverty and other causes, to provide for their offspring, are sent

to orphan houses, where they receive a plain education, and are

during part of the day occupied with some easy manual labor.

At the

With regard to the girls we pursue a similar plan.

smaller stations, more especially those which are exclusively

inhabited by Christians, a beginning has been made of sending

15

back the girls to their parents, yetin such a way, that they

continue to receive instruction in reading, writing, and in nee-

dlework, at the Mission house.

Nevertheless our Female

Boarding ‘Schools, for those girls who could not be properly

educated or protected from the influences of heathenism at home,

All these

are still maintained and are always full of pupils.

schools have Christian masters; they are, for the most part, un-

der the care of our Catechists.

The impression made on me by

these schools is on the whole a favorable one, notwithstanding

all the imperfections which (as I am fully aware of) adhere to

our Elementary School System.

The children even of the

lowest classes (of which the greater number of our Church mem-

bers consist) are mentally elevated by these schools; in many

cases, the intellectual and moral training they undergo, enables

them in after years to compete with, and even to excel those

youths of higher descent, among whom they are thrown in edu-

cational institutions of a higher class.

At the same time I was truly gratified by the Christian

spirit which pervades these institutions.

I cannot omit to

notice one instance of this: when visiting the orphan house at

Mangalore, I asked a poor crippled boy to bring me from his

small library the book he loved best; without hesitation he

chose the Book of books!-—When I asked the boys to sing,

they at once struck up a Canarese translation of the German

Hymn, “Praise the Lord, the mighty King ot Glory,” and sang

the whole of it, correctly and prettily, without any assistance—

Still there are many difficulties connected with these schools ;

in the larger towns we are under the necessity of teaching

several languages; there is a want of appropriate school books,

Some of the teachers are deficient in theoretical knowledge, and

others in practical and educational skill.

This has induced our

Committee to endeavour to erect a Seminary for the training of

Christian Schoolmasters, parallel with our Catechist Seminary,

but hitherto we have not been able to carry out this plan from

16

want of suitable youths, who might attend on such a course of

1nstruction.

In the mean time, we have taken measures to in-

struct our Catechists, as well as the pupils of the Catechist

schools 1in the art of Tuition.

The second kind of schools, are the Elementary Schools

for the heathen.

We have a good many of these schools at

each of our stations ;—Some of them, in which the Missionaries

or Catechists teach for an hour or more during the day, are in

a very good state.

I have seen several heathen schools, the pu-

pils in which displayed an amount of knowledge of Biblical

history and other branches, as would have been creditable to

the children of many a village school at home. I was gratified

in many places at seeing, that the heathen children show a

real desire for instruction.

And indeed, even were we not ex-

pressly commissioned by the Lord, the Hindoo children would

deserve our best exertions on account of that peculiar loveliness,

and the great amount of talent which so many of them possess.

Yet the result of my inspection of these heathen schools has

been to impress me more strongly than ever with the convic-

tion, that in order to become not only starting points for direct

Missionary labor, but really fruitful in themselves, and satisfac-

tory to the mind of the casual observer, as well as to the Super-

intendants and Teachers, they must be thoroughly remodelled.

The third class of schools are those higher Educational

Institutions, called English Schools.

Of these we have at pre-

sent #wo—one at Mangalore the other at Calicut. In connexion

with the former, there is a Boarding School for Indo-Briton

boys.

These schools, in which, besides the English language,

most of the higher educational branches of study are attended to,

have been hitherto very numerously attended, and seemed alto-

gether in a very promising state ; but during the last year they

received a rude shock, from which we hope however, they will

gradually recover.

On account of a determination on the part

of the Missionaries to insist on the maintenance of perfect equal-

11

ity of castes in the school, the Brahmin boys left “en-masse 2

some influential natives at Mangalore even came to the resolu-

tion of setting up an Opposition School ; and soon after the

Mahommedan pupils also left the school, because they would

not agree to reading the Bible as a class Book. In both schools

however we have still an attendance of 50—60 boys, partly

Heathens of the lower castes, and partly and chiefly Roman

Catholics. And, that the teachers have not labored in vain,

with regard to those who have left, we have a proof in the fact

that some of those, who were compelled by their parents to quit

the school, often visit their old teachers, and sometimes mani-

fest their sorrow by tears.

Lastly I have to mention those Institutions, which have

been established at Mangalore for the general benefit of our

rising congregations,

These are, the Catechist Institution and

the Industrial School, which have been in existence for several

years past.

The Catechist school has now, after a Quinquen-

nial course of instruction, furnished nine Hindoo youths for the

office of Catechists.

After having myself ascertained their

intellectual and spiritual state, which I found on the whole very

satisfactory, I have solemnly set them apart for their office, and

superintended their distribution over our stations. A new class

of fourteen youths, who, we have reason to hope will equal, if

not excel their predecessors with regard to gifts both of nature

and of grace, have been selected and received into our school.

The school itself has been placed under the supervision of the

general conference, and chiefly of its President, the Rev. S.

The more

Hebich, and its Secretary, the Rev. II. Moegling.

immediate superintendence of the School has been committed

to the Rev. S. Kullen, the first Missionary whom our Society

has especially called to this service.

He 1s assisted by the Rev.

H. A. Kaundinya who after a preparatory course of six years

study was ordained to the Ministry of the Gospel by the Right

Rev. 8. C. Kapff, General Superintendent and Prelate of the

C

18

Evangelical Church of the Kingdom of Wiirtemberg.

He 18

the first native preacher, who labors together with us for the

regeneration of his land.

We trust and pray, that he may be a

pure and strong light, burning and shining among the pupils of

the Cate

chist School, and in the midst of the native Church at

large.

Our workshops, in the establishment of which our Society

had no other object in view than to afford opportunities to the

converts of maintaining themselves by the labor of their hands,

and if possible to advance the moral and physical condition of

tradespeople belonging to our congregations, have hitherto had

a very unequal fate.

The forge and carpenter’s shop, we were obliged to abandon

after the removal of their European Superintendent.

Our watchmaker finds it easy to support himself and his

shop, but he can only find work for a few natives, and for this

reason we consider this workshop, though in itself sufficiently

successful, less suited to our purpose, than others. The weaving

establishment is in a very promising state.

We likewise hope

to be successful in our typographical establishment. Mr. Plebst,

a friend who has accompanied me from Europe, has been en-

trusted with its superintendence.

The difficulties, with which

our Missionary workshops have hitherto had to contend, have

induced the Committee to direct my attention in a special man-

ner to the investigation of the best plan for organizing these

institutions.

I have done my best to meet the wishes of the

Committee in this respect.

But I must confess that I doubt,

whether the financial position of our Society, will admit of the

Committee’s adopting the advice, which I shall tender to them

after diligent and lengthened consultations with our Missionaries,

and various other Missionary friends in this country.

The above are the principal results of my six month’s tour

of inspection in Western India; Perhaps I may be allowed to

add a §hort sketch of the general operations of our Society, and

19

of the state of our affairs, which will enable our friends to form

a clearer idea of our position, proceedings and wants.

Our Society is a confederation of Evangelical Christians of

various ecountries, especially South Western Germany and

Switzerland, who belong partly to the Lutheran, and partly to

the Reformed Church. The managing Committee, whose mem-

bers are partly Swiss and partly Germans, holds its sittings at

Basel. The Society maintains two Institutions at Basel, one the

Preparatory Institution with two Tutors, one Assistant and 20—

24 pupils of from 18—24 years of age; and the Missionary College,

with five Tutors, five Assistants, and from 30-—386 pupils, who

after completing their studies, find employment in the service of

other Missionary Societies, especially the “ North German Mis-

sionary Society” at Bremen, and the “Church Missionary Socie-

ty” in England ; some go as Pastors to German Congregations in

N. America, and in the Southern Provinces of Russia (Grusia

and Bessarabia), and some engage in the service of our own Society

as Missionaries in our various fields of labor. When our Society

originated, the principal object in view was to educate able

Missionaries for the service of other Societies, and now after we

have been enabled through the Lord’s goodness, to establish

and conduct Missions of our own in various parts of the world ;

we still deem it one of our most important tasks, to open a way

of Missionary usefulness for the many talented and pious Ger-

man youths, who long for employment in this great and holy

cause.

The Missionary fields on which our Society has entered, are

(besides this country, in which twenty-nine of our brethren are

now engaged) the Danish settlement of Cape Coast Castle, lately

transferred to the British Government, and China.

At Upu,

Abude, and Acropong, our three stations in Western Africa, seven

Missionaries are at present laboring with evident success: after

many severe trials, among which was the death of thirteen of eur

laborers, the Lord has of late begun te vouchsafe to our brethren

R0

health, cheerfulness and zeal, and given thém free access to the

hearts of the Negroes of the Aura and Aquassim tribes.

In

China, three of our brethren are laboring, beset with many

difficulties arising from the unsettled and insecure state of

matters in those parts; yet they are not without hopes of success.

Our wants for the various Missionary schemes and operations

now specified may be stated on an average, as follows :

Total £10,653

Only once, (in the year 1845,) did the actual income of our

Society amount to the sum of £10,722; but since then, and es-

pecially since the prevalence of distress in Southern Germany

on account of the Revolution, our income has not covered the

expenditure.

Our annual receipts have amounted to about

£9800; but the gradual accumulation of the deficiency in our

Treasury has, since my departure for India, compelled our

Treasurers to raise a loan of £4000 Under these circumstances

our Committee will, after my return, have to decide whether we

should continue our Missionary labors to the extent, to which

they have now attained, or whether we are to consider the want

of funds as a token from the Lord, that He wishes us to make

reductions.

The present state of our prospects is all the more

grievous to me, as I see, that the work of the Lord is only now

really commencing throughout this land, so that I confidently

21

expect that richer streams of blessing will year by year be pour-

ed out on India.

This assarance would enable me with joy to

return to my post at home; but I carry with me fresh calls on

our Treasury, which must necessarily be met, if we are to do

our duty to the families just emerging from heathenism. The

Missionary friends at home begin to talk of reductions! T shall

oppose them, my Christian friends, as long as I am enabled by

faith to stem the current of public opinion in our Christian

circles.

But this my position emboldens me to address to you

also a request.

It is this. Assist us in liquidating the debt

which we have contracted, and from love towards the people of

India, who are your own subjects, add a little more to that fifth

part of our expenses, which you have hitherto had the kindness

to defray, and thus enable us to continue our India Mission

labors.

It is true, we have no special promise, which entitles

us to hope for a large share in the Evangelical labors connected

with the Christianization of India; but we have reckoned it a

privilege to be your fellow laborers in this task.

On the other

hand, the things which the Lord has already accomplished in

India, and for its people through our instrumentality, give us a

claim on your love and your support. They are your subjects, to

whom our Society has now ministered for 18 years, without any

gain or hope of gain. They are your subjects, to whose regene-

ration our Missionaries devote their lives.

This is the first

appeal I have made to the friends of Missions in the East

Indies; I trust God will not allow it to be put to shame.

Finally, Christian friends, accept of my sincere and cordial

wishes for your bodily and spiritual welfare.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you and me.

We shall add only a few memoranda necessary ‘to fill up the

outlines of the account of our mission, which are given in the preced=

ing pages.

resolved on placing her under the charge of Dr. Porteus at Coimba-

toor,

Under the care of this skilful physician, to whose kindaess and

attention we beg to offer our grateful acknowledgments, the poor

invalid soon recovered, when she was advised to return to the Nila-

giris.

Br. Moegling’s health has also been restored sufficiently to

render him capable of remaining in the country and of returning to his

post of duty.

He has been most effectually relieved by three new

brethren stationed at Balmattha,

The increase in the congregations has been greatest at Cantanore,

where upwards of eighty baptisms are recorded, and at Mangalore,

where upwards of sixty souls have been baptized, (Apjarcandy and

Chirakal being included in the Church register of Cannanore, and

Uchila and Gudde in that of Mangalore )

The English school at Mangalore has suffered a severe check,

Thirty nine Brahman boys were withdrawn from the school on account

of the admission of a number of low-cast boys into the classes and forms

occupied by the Brahmans. Twénty six Musulman scholars subse-

quently left the school on the ground, that they objected to the Bible

tasks given to them.

There seems to have been some secret under-

standing between the heads of the Hindu and Musulman population in

opposition to the Mission school. At the last examination 106 boys

were present ; now 40 only are on the list. Also the Calicut English

23

school has suffered in some m‘eas‘qre from éim‘-il‘ar causes. We must

wait and hope.

The Mission has been extended considerably notwithstanding the

threatened failure of its home-resources.

Guledgudda has been

taken up as a new out-station.

Br. Kies, the pastor of the newly

formed church has gone to reside among his people.

At Hubly the

little company of Christians is growing inwardly and outwardly under

the blessing of the Lord.

Honore has been occupied by Br.Ammann,

who will regularly visit also Kamptee and Sircy.

His place at Mulki

has been filled by two brethren from Mangalore, Br, Biihrer and Br,

Lehmann.

At Mangalore the public preaching of the gospel has been

taken up again by several of the brethren, and their reception on the

part of the people is rather favourable than otherwise.

The Canna-

nore station will send out some of the young men to important out-

stations—Taliparambu and Palghat.,

Chombala and Calicut, particu-

larly the outstation at Koilandy, are prospering and growing stronger,

May the Lord have mercy upon us and the people to whom he has

sent us, and give victory to His word.

The liberality of our India friends has continued unabated,

Up-

wards of ten thousand rupees were given to us during the last year,

as attested by our list of donations.

Most heartily do we thank our

openhanded and loving friends.

May the Lord himself give each one

his reward of grace.

Under the present difficolties of our Mission we

need most assuredly the liberal assistance of our Indian supporters, and

whatever may be our own unworthiness of our calling as Ministers of

the Gentiles, the cause which we serve is His, and therefore most

worthy of the heartiest euthusiasm and the most zealous co-operation of

all those who love His appearing.

APPENDIX.

Translation from the German of an Address delivered by

H. 4. I(m‘z‘u’tln?ya on the 20th July 1851, at his ordination in the

Principal Church of Leonbey, by the Right Revd. Ch. S. Kapff

one of the Prelates of the Evangelical Church of Wiirtemburg.

I was born at Mangalore on the 10th April, 1825. The name of my father was:

Runga, he was of the Kanudiuya family, my mother was Rukmini, of the Kansya fa-

mily. My father called me Ananta, after my grandfather, bnt an uncle of his, who was

staying at our house on a visit, changed the name of Ananta, which is a name of Shiva,

and means, ‘‘the Infinite,” into Ananda, i. e. (‘‘spiritual) joy.”—Thus with the usual

addition of Raya (Prince) I was called Anandaraya, i, e. Prince of joy.

—My mother

30

tongue is the ‘‘Sarasvati’ or Konkana, but from my infancy I spoke Canarese like 2.

second mother tongue, I learned also Tulu, and afterwards Hindustani, my father was

a pleader in the Court of Mangalore ; his desire was, that I should also in time enter

the service of Government, and therefore he sent me to a Canarese school, when I

was four years of age, as the Canarese is the Government language in our Province. In

this school I learned to read, write, and cast accounts.—I was not long to enjoy the

blessings of parental education.

Both my parents died when I was nine years of age.

Yet my father has

exercised a lasting influence on the after development o

f my mind

from the recollections of my

and character.—1I shall relate two important eccurrences

early childhood—My father was very fond of my two sisters, who are still alive, yet I

was his favorite, being his only son, and the youngest child of the family. In the even-

ings before I went to bed, he would often permit me to lie down on his bed by his side,

and to talk to him on any subject that came into my mind.—One night—I was scarce-

1y four years old—I asked him, “How God looked P’ He perceived at once, that I did

not question him about idols, for I had the family idols daily before my eyes, and there-

fore gave me a deliberate answer.—I do not recollect how the question about the form

of God, had entered into my mind. Perhaps the sight of the family gods had excited

my curiosity concerning the shape of the great God, perhaps some words which had

fallen from my father’s lips on God and the Divine nature had struck my mind, however

that may be, the great question must have laid strong hold upon my childish mind, for

to this day I retain the most lively remembrance of the hour, the room and the con-

versation I then and there, held with my father.—Ile said, ‘““God is like a Globe,”

¢He has no hands and feet, eyes, and ears as men have, He is ineffable, without

¢tyisible shape, without perceptible qualities, changeless:”’—these words sank deep into

my heart ; I thought, I know now what God is.

From that moment, I ceased to feel

the least awe of idols, such a God as my father had described to me, I believed in j these

idols I thought, were nothing, yet being an infant of four years, I was unable to turn

to any further use the knowledge thus communicated to me by my beloved father. The

other memorable event was conunected with the death of my father whieh took place in

February 1834. A few days before his decease my two sisters stood with me by his

bed side when he looked upon us with much tenderness, and said with great emotion :

turning to them

“Dear girls, you are both well provided for, in the houses of your

husbands, but this, my infant boy (pointing to me) has no one to care for him.”’

On

the day of his dea

th, knowing that his last day was come, he requested the bystanders

to give me some food, lest I should have to fast ti

11 the evening.—I had put on the

Brahminical cord, and being thus made a brahmin, I could not have tasted food, till

after his body was burned. A few hours later, he sent for the priests, several relatives

also assembled around him—with certain ceremonies he distributed some Alms, set

himself on the Darbasana (seat of holy Grass) as those only do who renounce the world

in the manner of brahmins, drank a little of the water of the Ganges, which was kept

in the house of the priest, Suboaraya Bhatta, and desired a passage from the Bhagavat-

Geeta to be read to him, (this is a purely Pantheistic Poem)—yet he could not die in

peace, anxiety for my future welfare kept him alive ; he had indeed provided for me, for

he left me a house and two gardens, but 1 was too young to take care of myself. The

father-in-law of my younger sister, an honest man, in whom he placed full confidence,

stood by his side, he took my hand and said to me, ‘“This is thy father ;’ then point-

ing to me he said to him, ‘‘This is thy son.”’

He remained sitting up a little longer,

then laid himself down and died—It may easily be conceived that the words and ac-

tions of my father previous to his death made a deep impression on my mind, I was

my mother also (who had been expected to die before

greatly moved. Within 24 days,

my father) breathed her last. Thus was 1 left alone in the world, an Orphan, helpless

31

but too young to feel and to underétand the full extent of my loss; yet though I knew

it not, these melancholy events of my childhood, contributed much to the formation of

my character, and gave a peculiar and indelible stamp to my mind—the living example

of my beloved father impelled me to imitate him as far as lay in my power. I desired to

know what he knew, to make myself honored as he was, and to die a death as quiet and

peaceful as his.—I have related these things because without a notice of them the after

course of my life would scarcely be intelligible, and also because I desire to take this

opportunity of telling you, that the opinion of some good people, who think that all

the heathen without exception are cruel and impious and sunk into the depths of moral

depravity and outward misery, is incorrect.—Honest—yea—I might almost say pious

people are to be found among the heathens ; they are not all wanting in moral rectitude

v

but are all destitute of the glory of God, and have no hope of eternal life ; the noblest

among them is incomparably lower than the least of those who believe in Christ, for

the true Christian has eternal life, the heathen has it not !

It is good and necessary to know that it is not the business of the Missionary to

relieve the outward misery of the heathens by means of European civilization, or to

reform their lives by lessons of morality ; such endeavors do not bring man a whit

nearer to God, than heathenism itself ; the Missionary has to offer to the Gentiles that

eternal life which is in Christ :—Nine years old, then, I had become an orphan, the

father-in-law of my younger sister, being engaged in trade, could not, or would not un-

dertake my education.

It was therefore resolved upon by him and his friends that the

youngest brother of my father should live in the house with me, and undertake the

duty of training me up. I was under his charge for about 8 years, during the first 5

years. I learned Mahratti, and a little Sanscrit, and committed to memory some pas-

sages of the Vedas, which are required in the worship of the family gods.

Then I

began English, for some time I went to a private school kept by a Portuguese, then I

took lessons from a discharged English soldier; being dissatisfied with my progress, I

1]

consulted Bhagavantaraya (now €hristian Kamsika) who was then my neighbour, and

attended an English school then lately established by the German Missionaries.

By

his advice I went and was admitted into the school, some time in the year 1840 ; with

the consent of my uncle, and my father-in-law, for I was already engaged to the daugh-

ter of the Moonsiff Janardanaya of Mangalore.—In this school I became acquainted

with brother Moegling then the superintendent; by great and winning kindness he soon

gained the hearts of his scholars; besides English, I learnt among other things, a little

Arithmetic, Geometry, and Algebra; I had naturally a great love for Mathematics,

while at home, I had made some progress, and had read a Sanscrit and Canarese work

on that science ; I was therefore delichted, when brother Weigle began to teach us

Mathematics, under him my love of science increased ; I had no intention of leaving

the school soon. One of my fellow pupils got a situation in the Government service ;

my relatives began to laugh and say that I should be going to school with my children!

for my minority was over, I had completed my marriage, and was administering my

own affairs :—however I did not care what others thought or said, I had tasted the

sweets of knowledge, and had no mind to abandon my studies abruptly. I meant to

stay one year longer in the school, and then to apply for a Government situation, but

now something occurred which completely changed the course of my life,

In this school I was unwittingly under the influence of christianity; in the monsoon

of 1841 brother iufﬁer took charge of the school which is now under brother Hoch ;

and entered upon his work with great zeal, he not only taught us Geometry but (what

was of more consequence) the Scriptures ! with great earnestness.

He began to ex-

plain the Book of Proverbs ; the moral power of the book itself, and the serious,

solemn

and zealous manner of the teacher produced a very strong and wholesome impression

upon the hearts of the scholars.—Also the words of Christ (Matthew v. 34, 37), had

its effect upon our consciences : I, for example, made up my mind no longer to repeat

on every trifling occasion (as is the habit of my countrymen) the name of God, but to

content myself with a simple asseveration whether my word was believed or not. I was

now about 16 years of age. At home, I repeated to my friends what I heard at school.

I was then fond of moral lessons though they were given by Missionaries ; of ceremonies,

I thought nothing ;—my uncle, Shantappa, began to fear lest I should be caught in the

Mission net, and tried to counteract the teaching of brother \gu er by initiating me

in the mysteries of Pantheism : he was completely successful ; from a child I had been

very fond of that Philosophy of which my father had been a disciple. Eagerly I drank

First I was taught ¢‘Tat tdam asi’’ (That art Thou)i. e.

in my uncle’s lessons.

¢Thou Thyself art God, the World, the universe 1"’

This is the essence of Pantheism, this was very sweet to me, afterwards I stu-

died a Book called the * Philosopher’s stone”” from which I learnt that the

existence of Grod was a possibility, but that every created thing was produced by the

Heavens and the Earth, the male and female Powers of Nature; this is Naturalism or

Atheism. I was much pleased with my progress, but my mind was dissatisfied with

this half way philosophy ; following the resonings of my uncle and of my book to their

conclusions, I attained to a yet higher stage of philosophical knowledge, denying the

reality of all existing things and conceiving that the “ ALL? and ,, NoTHING are

one |—Strong in this ¢ N1minism” I denied the reality of every thing and endea-

voured to rid myself of self consciousness in order to become a Philosopher indeed

1 now pitied the Missionaries who believed in a Heaven and a future Judgment, as

ignorant and unphilosophical men, considered sin to be a mere imagination, and be-

came very proud; yet I wished to live honestly and respectably before men. Such was

my state, when I was attacked in June 1843 by an epidemic fever ; during this Chris-

tian sickness (strange to say) I prayed for health to that God in whom I thought I

did NoT believe!—A brother-in-law of mine was seized with the same fever bat my

uncle’s medicines, and the nursing of his grandmother, were blessed to our recovery,

in three weeks we were enabled to rise from our sick beds ; but I now discovered that

the fover had almost entirely deprived me of memory. What I spoke, read, or thought

of, in one hour, T forgot in the next, especially ALL the English I had acquired was

clean blown (as it were) out of my mind; I was much grieved at this, once when

reading an English book with Brother Weigle, my want of memory affected me so

much, that I could not help weeping in his presence ; he observed my strong emotion,

left me, and went to another room to pray for me, when he came back, he found me a

little calmer, and advised me to pray to God, and ask of him the restoration of my

e

covered both my memory and my former knowledge of English. Brother Moegling

was then on a Missionary tour, brother Weigle gave him an account of what had

hen brother Moegling returned to Mangalore, he read with my

passed between us—W

class some passages O

f “SHAKESPEARE,” and expounded them, witha view of

leading us to a better knowledge of sin, and the necessity of confessing our sins, and

attaining pardon of sin from God—both the brothers prayed for me—at a much earlier

period brother Moegling had asked God that He would give me to him; their Prayers

were fulfilled—On the 24th November 1843, early in the morning T paid a visit to Mr.

Anderson the Principal Judge of Mangalore, he had desired me to read to him some

articles out of a Canarese Newspaper. After leaving Mr. Anderson I went to the

Mission House, to see brother Moegling, he was busy at the time but was unwilling

to lose the opportunity of talking to me, so he gave me an English Almanack,

33

published by the ““ REricrous TRACT SoCIETY ;" and told me to go to another

room, and read a while till he was disengaged ; and then he would call me.—As I

turned over the pages of the Almanack, my eye fell upon an anecdote related of an

ancient lawgiver.

‘“ A king made a law, that every one convicted of adultery should lose both hig

«eyes ; his own son broke the law, the king impartially pronounced judgment against

him, the people who were much attached to the prince,

entreated the king to spare

him ;

the king was inexorable; yet from love to his people, and to his son, he

‘ordered him to be deprived of one eye, and for the other he gave one of his own eyes.

Thus all the world saw, that the king was truly intent upon upholding the law, but

also full of love to his people, and his son.—The story was wound up by these words,

*‘God so loved the World, that He gave His only begotten Son, dear to Him as the

apple of His eye, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have ever-

lasting life :’ this simple application of the story made so deep an impression on me

that I did not know what to do. In greatexcitement of mind, I went to brother Moegling

and asked him to explain it to me, as if [ had misunderstood the language ; he saw

this was the time, to speak to my heart, and set before me the essence of the gospel,

the reconciliation of a simner through Christ Jesus, the forgiveness of sins by His

blood, and the promise of the Holy Spirit. To these truths he gave his own individu-

al testimony : ““Consider he said; if we are not deceivers or deceived fo

ols, then this

word must be truth ; and if it be truth, then

you also are under an obligation to believe

the gospel.”

I was unable to speak and remained silent, he saw that my heart was

touched, and exhorted me to make trial of the gospel Now. Whosoever believes, and

confesses his sins in faith, receives THEN and THERE the peace of forgiveness, if you

believe in Christ, confess the sins which trouble your heart.”” I said: “I will confess my

sins”’ but I hesitated, he entreated me with much love, and exhorted me in the name

F )

of Christ, to open my heart now, freely, without hesitation, and without doubt. I replied

“I cannot express what I have to say.” He said:

‘‘you need not speak, you may sit

down and write.”’

With these words he left me, and went into another room to pray

for me, in the mean time, I sat down and wrote what I had to say. To this hour it is

a wonder to me, how I came to confess my sins to a stranger ! of course, I then only

confessed, what at that time seemed to me the most grievous sin. When brother

Moegling came back, he read what I had written, he was much moved, and told me to

kneel with him in prayer; he thanked God, for the grace given me, and asked Him

to establish me in the faith, We rose, and gave each other the right hand of fellow-

ship as brethren ; for several hours we sat together and conversed on the troubles and

persecutions which might follow, the loss of my caste,

my property and my wife,

But

I

the treasure I had found appeared to me so great, that compared with the peace and

salvation I had received in Christ, every thing else seemed as nothing.

At last in the afternoon, I remembered that I had to go home, and took leave. On

the way, I could not contain myself, but ran and leaped for joy, I found all my friends

in great distress at my long absence; sometime afterwards, whea my

conversion was

known, my uncle, the philosopher, said to me. ‘‘Yes, yes 1 I knew,

Bhagavantaraya and

Mukundaraya, (now Jacob and Christian Kamsika)

were embolden

ed to confess Christ;

two other class fellows of mine also joined us in readin

g the Bible daily and in prayer

with brother Moegling.

After a short time, I tried to make the salvation which is in

Christ known to my dear wife

.

’

she was astonished at my strange way of talking of

sin, pardon of sin, the Saviour Jesus Christ and other gospel truths. My friends dis-

covered my change of mind, and suspected my frequgnt visits to the Missionaries. On

E

34

the 24th Deceﬁber while I was with brother Moegling some people came to fetch me

home to my father-in-law ; for five days I was closely watched, on the sixth day the

Collector Mr. Blair kindly asked me to his house, from thence I returned to the Mis-

sion house. After a long and serious consultation with brother Moegling I resolved

on staying and sent word (by a peon who had accompanied me,) to my father-in-law,

that T had no mind to return to my family. This was on the 30th December ; my father

in-law and a great number of my friends and relatives immediately came and tried to

reclaim me but in vain.

On the 6th January 1844, I was baptized with my two friends

Christian and Jacob in ths Name of the Triune God, by brother Moegling who gave

me his own name,

Herrmann.—The question now arose, what should become of us 5

We might have qualified ourselves for the public service and if successful might have

gained money and h

onor ; but we saw that the Mission required laborers, and as the

Lord had delivered us in so singular a manner, we resolved to devot

e ourselves to the

service of the gospel, and the Lord has given us grace, to keep our resolution. My

two friends are preparing for the office of Catechists.

As for me, when brother

Moegling had to return to Europe in 1846 for his health, I was permitted to accompa-

ny him.

These 5 years, I have been in the Mission house at Basle, under many

shortcomings, much unfaithfulness, weakness,

brother Moegling had desired me to take him for a brother and his parents for my

parents.—In their house I enjoyed that hear

ty Christian love which is never hurtful.

Thus my dear friends I feel myself connected with Switzerland, through the

Basel Mission house, and with Wittemburgh through the manse of Aldingen, and

fboth countries by that fellowship and communion
