REPORT.

We have entered upon the twentieth year of our

Mission.

In October 1834 the first three Brethren

landed on this coast, and now we look back on a long

series of trials and joys, of sins and mercies,—it is to be

hoped above all, with a deep feeling of humiliation.

We have seen much of man’s weakness, and something

of the Lord’s strength; we know we have deserved

wrath, even in works comparatively good; but thanks

to His unfailing compassions, we are not consumed: we

are even increased, quite as much as we could have

hoped at the beginning of our work. May all the glory

be given to Him, whose strength is made perfect in our

5

weakness!

During the past year all our lives have been spared,

but we have had a considerable number of invalids.

Of

these Br. Mogling, who last year left the coast resolved

on returning to Europe, found in the Coorg country an

open door for the preaching of the Gospel, and was

induced to prefer laboring among those mountaineers

to the prospect of visiting his native country. At the

end of his first year in Coorg he finds himself no ways

injured in his health: on the contrary he hopes to regain

1%

4

his full strength without being laid aside from work.

He has had much to cheer him in the commencement

of the new Mission, marked though it was by trials of

different kinds.

The convert Stephanas, who accom-

panied him from Mangalore in February 1853, was

gladly received by his wife and children, who were

baptized on the 4th of March, and have since made

very favorable progress.

The claims of the family to

retain their ancestral property were impugned by the

Coorgs; but the highest authority has decreed, that the

law which secures liberty of conscience to all classes,

extends to Coorg as well as to the rest of India, and

Stephanas is effectually protected in the midst of many

enemies.

Knowing that our Home-Committee were

already pledged to begin several other stations, Br.

Mogling felt it his duty to commence this Mission on

his own sole responsibility.

We now join him in thank-

ing God for the support freely given by a number of

liberal friends of Indian Missions to him and his work

during his separation from us, and for the resolution of

our esteemed Home-Committee on the 19th January

1854, to receive him back into their society, and to

engage in the prosecution of the Coorg Mission. ~We

hope, if spared, to give in our report of 1855 a new

chapter, headed “Coorg Mission; Alamanda Station”.

Let our friends help by prayer to make it a rich and

interesting one!

The Brethren Albrecht and F. Miiller, have both

5

for a season been laid aside from their work. The

former seeks to recruit his health by a stay on the

Nilagiris.

Br. Miiller is just now in Coorg and feels

considerably better.

Our Sisters Irion, Biihler, Huber,

and Ammann are still suffering, or at least not restored

to their spheres of labor, and we commend them to the

earnest intercessions of our friends.

Under these circumstances we were greatly cheered

by the accession of new laborers from our fatherland.

The Brethren Kaufmann and Kittel joined us in Decem-

ber 1853, accompanied by Miss Kegler, a teacher for

the Calicut Boarding School, and followed in February

1854 by Br. Pfleiderer, a young merchant who is to

undertake the management of our Industrial Depart-

ment.

The Brethren Kies and Wiirth have both been

married to their brides sent from Germany.

Our dear Committee have thus given proof of their

strenuous endeavour to supply their stations with the

workmen needed. Their's was no easy task during a

year of dearth and manifold distress, which dried up

many of their former resources.

Yet have they had

faith to undertake a new labor of love.

Hitherto our children have been cared for, as emer-

gencies arose, without any systematic arrangement.

For

some time past it has been felt, that this weighty matter

At

ought to be provided for in some fixed manner.

first it was thought that our children might be educated

in two seperate establishments on the Nilagiris.

But

6

our own wishes pointed rather to our native country as

the soﬂ wherein we should wish them to strike root,

and the Committee have most kindly resolved to open

there without delay a Home for the children of all their

Missionaries

They request us to send them at once a

goodly number of pupils, and we are hastening to carTy

out their wishes

It will be a new trial to many a

parent's heart, but the Lord will give them grace and

strength to bear up against it, and to continue in His

service without repining and murmuring. We find this,

alas! not so easy a thing, even after the many tokens of

his lovingkindness which we have experienced

May He, who has shown Himself so faithful and

gracious to His unworthy servants, increase our faith,

that we be found always praying with praise and thanks-

giving, glorying in tribulations also, opening our mouth

wide that He may fill it, alway abounding in the work

of the Lord, for as much as we know, that our labor is

not 1 vain in the Lord!

turned in December, she appeared greatly improved,

though not quite restored; soon however an old disease

renewed its attacks, and undermined her strength to such

a degree, that we fear she will have to return to Europe.

Br. Huber accompanied Mrs. Huber to the Hills, and

brought her back from thence; yet during the greater

part of the year he was enabled to continue at his post.

The English School has suffered in consequence of

a change of teachers, which became necessary on account

of the misconduct of the former master.

Thirty adults have been baptized in the course of

the year.

Among them was a man 78 years of age, who

greatly lamented the weakness of his memory. He

gave however good evidence of his faith, was baptized,

and died in peace a few weeks afterwards.

At Codacal a goodly number of people from the

Tier caste (corresponding to the Shdnars of the Tinne-

velly District), as well as a family of Panickers, have

been brought to a knowledge of the truth.

The strength of the Mission staff has beén augmented

Fy

b

the accession of Miss Kegler, who has been sent

out by the German Ladies Society, and will assist in

conducting the Boarding School, where Mrs. Huber had

left a void deeply regretted and not easily filled up.

Br. Fritz writes: In some of our adults the Lord has doubtless

commenced His work. He will also carry it on, to the praise of His

name.

One of our men, a weaver by trade, had for a long time

greatly tried the patience of his believing wife by his enmity against

the gospel, which he continued to manifest after hé had renounced

caste.

He went so far as to say that the death of his boy, an amiable

and hopeful child, had been caused by the frequent prayers of

the mother.

At last, however, the gloomy and morose man was

softened, and believed to the great joy of his wife; but at the same

time his protracted ailments terminated in dropsy, of which he died

on the 6th of March last.

In the Girls School a very intelligent girl of 5 years has died. ~She

bore her sufferings very patiently, and during the last night she fre-

quently exclaimed, Come Lord Jesus!”

The Carpenters Shop is making good progress. Several Christian

youths of the Calicut congregation as well as from other stations are

v

bound apprentices, and the earnings of the young men fully cover

their expenses.

A Nayer youth from Travancore, who had heard the Word of God

from our English Brethren in the South, but was afraid to confess

Christ in his own part of the country, resolved to set out on his travels.

When he came to Codacal, the Catechist spoke to him so faithfully and

He is a well in-

earnestly, that he was prevailed upon to remain.

formed, clever youth; we have therefore directed him to attend our

English School.

The increase of our Co

dacal congregation has rendered it desirable

to have a piece of ground, on which the converts may earn their

livelihood.

Through the kindness of the Collector we have been

enabled to obtain a very suitable spot, which was in former days the

hunting ground of the Vettattu Rdja. By cultivating this ancient

forest, a good many industrious men will be able to support them-

selves.—Our Northern out-stations Ellattur and Coilandy are as yet

rather barren spots: but we can look with some satisfaction on the

work going on there by means of the well frequented schools.

In the midst of much that is cheering, we have not been without

our trials. A Nayer youth of good natural gifts came to stay with us

9

for some time.

After a short while he was annoyed at our not

baptizing him so soon as he expected, and therefore joined the Roman

Catholic congregation at this place.

There he was made much of,

‘but soon he misbehaved, ran away, and turned Maplah. To ingratiate

himself with his new friends, he put them up to persecute one of our

Christians, whom he knew to have formerly been a Mahommedan.

Happily the anger of the Maplahs did not go beyond the sending of

threatening messages, and after a short time the unprincipled young

man tired also of this change of his religion.

The last we heard of

him was, that he had joined the Syrian Bishop, a man of some zeal,

who bestirs himself at the Southern extremity of our district, to gather

a congregation from amongst the heathen.

We have for some time felt the want of churéh ac-

commodation for our increasing congregation. Encour-

aged by the subscriptions of many friends and a liberal

grant from Government, we are now about to lay the

foundation of a chapel, which we hope will be finished

in the course of this year.

The three first months of the year were to us a time

of many struggles and trials; but the Lord has been

pleased to follow it up with some signal mercies, where-

of we are glad.

~ In the beginning of February, Rama, the brother of Ezra, joined

us with the intention of becoming a Christian.

tion.

She had no mind to become a Christian; yet she said, that as

all her children were now at Chombala, she too would come to live

near them; but first, she said, she must attend the customary offering,

which the people of her caste bring to the god of snakes. =~ On the

sons and two daughters were very glad to have their mother with

them, but she would not listen to the word of God. Next day she

was suddenly carried off by Cholera.

The same day, three heathen

relatives, who had accompanied her from Pudiangady, died of this

fearful scourge.

Rama, greatly shocked, urged me to baptize him

without farther delay.

I did so on the 12th of the same month, and

was rejoiced to find, that although there had been so little time to

prepare him, he gave satisfactory evidence of his faith and knowledge.

Two Tier men at Wadagara, who had long since heard the Word,

and had shown so much love for it, that for some time they had regular

Morning and Evening prayers with their families, after a time became

lukewarm, and even began to mock at the truth. One of the brothers

was attacked by smallpox.

Upon this the other fled; but he did not

escape the contagion.

‘While the two unfortunate men retained their

reason, they expressed their sorrow for having neglected the message

of grace, when they had time to accept of it; but soon they lost their

consciousness, and thus departed from this world.

Yet has it pleased the Lord to open a door for us at

Wadagara after repeated disappointments.

We long

had known Chattappa, a fine looking old man, living

near the Catechist’'s house.

He was the district head-

man of the stone-cutters, and had two years ago begun

to build a temple at his own expense.

After some time,

however, the roof of the new building was carried away

mean while the man became well acquainted with the

Gospel, but hesitated to give his assent to it, and con-

tinued most strict in the observance of the nsages of

caste &c., saying that while he continued to be a heathen,

he preferred being a thorough one; and that, if once he

became a Christian, he hoped to be a thorough one too.

He might have continued for some time to halt between

He accordingly repaired

to Chombala, and showed the sincerity of his professions

by a becoming walk. He received baptism on the 10th

of J uly, after he had manfully withstood the temptations,

arising from the desire of his numerous relations to re-

cover him by any means.

This man, named Aaron,

For the present he prefers staying at Chombala, where he finds

more nourishment for his soul.—The school at Wadagara, which in

former years offered several promising features, has in consequence of

this conversion suffered to such an extent, that.it had to be closed.—

There is now no school in connection with this station, except one for

Christian children, which is duly appreciated by the congregation

On the evening of the 11th March, when returning

from a little tour, I was told that a Tier woman, who had

long been acquainted with our Christians, had with two

children come to the house of one of them, with the

to the little house, which was surrounded by Tiers armed

with knives

The woman who was inside, assured me

of her firm determination to abide with Christ.

But we

were surrounded by about 300 people, who had been

brought together under the influence of the village head-

martl.

Om remonstrances were fruitless.

From the

village authorities no aid was to be obtained, and we

Q¥

12

were not inclined to use force. So the woman was drawn

N

forth from the hut, and dragged away with frequent

blows.

After having been ill treated in her father’s

house, she was taken to a temple, and made to swear

that she would henceforth avoid all intercourse with us.

In consequence of a complaint which I made, she was

brought before the Magistrate on the 11th day after her

removal from our house, when she not only declared

her intention to remain a heathen, but denied all that

had occurred. The ringleaders of the assault on our

house were punished; but in the principal point we

were defeated.

We had to wait till the 10th of June, when we had

the happiness to hear, that the young woman had again

come to the house of FKunice, and declared with tears,

that she could find no rest without becoming a Christian.

As the headman of the village had threatened to kill

her, she asked to be sent to Tellicherry.

Her request

was immediately granted, and she left accompanied by

two of our men.

But God sent a more effective protec-

tion, the heaviest monsoon-rain, under cover of which

she reached Tellicherry in safety with her little girl.

She was very sorry for the untruths, she had told before

the Magistrate; but it must be admitted, that she was

under very strong temptation, being frightened out of

her wits by threatenings and charms of various kinds.

She now enjoys much peace, and pleases us by her dili-

gence and intelligence.

She was baptized on the 15th September, together

with a young Nayer who had joined us.—Elisabeth’s

husband, who had expressed his intention of following

her, and tried several times to see her in secret, was after

all prevailed upon to take another wife.

The last year has been a very peaeeful,(and we trust,

fruitful year for this station.

We had the privilege of

baptizing 28 heathen, on the 11th August and 25th De-

cember.

Altogether the congregation has been aug-

mented by 52 souls.

Five youths, who are apprenticed

to various trades, were admitted to church-membership.

The workshops have gone on prosperously.

Mrs. Irion, whose health had been much shattered,

has since July last resided with our kind friend, Dr.

Foulis at Cannanore, to whom many of us are deeply

indebted for his professional assistance. Under his ju-

dicious aud assiduous treatment her disease is gradually

giving way, so that we have fair hopes of her ultimate

recovery.

Br. Miiller, whose health has for some time been very

indifferent, likewise spent six weeks at Cannanore, where

he had to undergo a surgical operation.

Afterwards he

14

tried the effects of a sea-voyage to Bombay, and now re-

sides for a time with Br. Mogling, to see what the

mountain air of the Coorg country may, under God’s

blessing, do for the re-establishment of his health.

A District Orphan-house has been established accord-

ing to the wish of our Home-Committee.

It already

numbers 38 orphan-boys, half of whom were sent by the

Cannanore Brethren.

The pupils are divided into two

classes, taught by the Christian Schoolmasters Thaddai

and Elieser, and have made satisfactory progress during

this first year of the institution.

Some of the boys give

a promise of future fitness for employment as Catechists.

In January 1853 the Brethren were sorely tried by the perverse

conduct of Jonah Baker, a baptized Moplah, who persisted in de-

manding to be made Catechist, without manifesting sufficient intellectual

and moral fitness for such a situation.

The conflict with him ended

in his abrupt departure; but after some time he came back somewhat

humbled, and has since broken off the intercourse with his family,

which had been a constant snare to him for many years past.

Several schools had to be discontinued, chiefly because we saw,

that the class for whose benefit they were established (the Tiers) had,

in the increase of their worldly prosperity, ceased to set any value on

the instruction offered to them.

In the months of January and February Br. Irion preached the

Gospel in the Cadutta-nddu, and met with a favorable reception. Some

hearers offered a small sum of money to the two Catechists who ac-~

companied him, by way of reward for their trouble. Many were very

eager to obtain tracts; even a Rdja was very desirous of getting a

supply of tracts for the instruction of his children.

The Rdja has

since paid the Missionaries a return-visit at Tellicherry.—Br. Miiller

also looks back with pleasure and thankfulness upon a preaching

excursion, which he made in the Cotiote Tédluk.

In the poor-house, Noah, the man upwards of a hundred years

of age mentioned in the last report, is engaged in teaching some Cate-

chumens to read.

Though converted in his extreme old age, he

appears quite fresh and youthful in his way of thinking and talking;

he is still able to read without spectacles, and to write a legible,

though trembling hand.

It is always a pleasure to us, to see and

converse with him.

15

Two Tier youths, one of about 13, the other of 22 years of age, have

joined us in the course of last year

The former, Ebenezer, is a very

hopeful lad, and makes pleasing progress in his studies

The other,

Philip, has steadfastly resisted the entreaties, threatenings, and lamen-

tations of his friends, and appears to be growing in grace since his

baptism

An old woman of 63 years, who had formerly led a dissolute life,

heard the word of God with great attention, frequently shedding tears

on account of her sins, and in remembrance of the love of her Saviour

We have now reason to believe that she has found peace with God

for she evidences this peace by her daily walk

During the year 1853 the Native congregation has

decreased in number, and some even of those who are

still members of the congregation, have grieved the

hearts of the Missionaries by frequent backslidings.

Still we have to rejoice over souls, quickened and sanc-

tified by the truth. Among the European congregation

the Lord has wrought many wonders of His mercy.

But it is our lot in this place, more than in any other

station of our Mission, to experience all the changes of

Indian life.

In December 1853, the 39th M. N. L. left

the station, by which event the European congregation

lost nearly thirty of its members.

Some of the Native Christians at Anjercandy have

fallen away, and are mow troubling the rest of the

congregation.

In Palghat a house has been purchased, to serve as

a chapel for the Native congregation.

1

v

The outstation Taliparambu has been strengthened

by some families of Native Christians, settled there for

the purpose of gaining their livelihood by weaving. Two

young candidates for baptism are the first fruits of the

work carried on at that station.

In February Br. Hebich paid his yearly visit to the great heathen

festival at Payawur.

A sick Coorg-man who heard the preaching of

the Word, accompgnied the Brethren back to Cannanore, and stayed

there for some weeks; but as his worldly expectations were not

realized, he returned to his home.

From the 8th to the 19th of March the Taliparambu festival was

visited. Br. Hebich and his Catechists were enabled to preach the

Word joyfully, without any difficulties from without.

On one occa-

sion only stones were thrown, which however more frequently hit

the hearers than the preachers.

An old man, who has now heard the

word of God for the last ten years, and frequently scemed to be im-

pressed with the truth, rather discouraged us at the end of a sermon

by the faint praise he bestowed upon us. “All” he said, “is true and

good: yet after all, your religion is the same as ours; only you call

God by another name.”

We distributed fewer books than formerly,

but had the satisfaction of seeing them more highly prized. A boy

of his own accord offered some copper coin i

. payment for tracts, and

we, of course, gladly supplied him.

In October, two Catechists were, at the request of an esteemed

English friend, who also defrayed the expenses, sent out on a tour of

colportage into the Southern District of Canara, where the Malayalam

language is extensively spoken.

The results of the experiment were

encouraging, especially at Casergode, and we therefore hope to

repeat it.

One of the Catechists, Gnanamuttu, had to be dismissed. He had

fallen into grievous sin, and had besides givene vidence of determined

worldly-mindedness.

May the Lord yet in mercy recall him to

repentance and life.

From the 21st of August to the 27th of September Br. Hebich

visited Palghaut. e had many opportunities of preaching the Gos-

pel there and in the surrounding market-places, and met with very

attentive hearers.

On the 18th of September, he celebrated the

Lord’s Supper with 30 Native Christians at Palghaut, some of whom

were recently admitted into the Church.

Some of the old Church-

members have, alas! fallen away.

Also several Natives connected

with the 20th N.NI, who had shown themselves willing to listen the

Gospel whilst at Palghaut, have since the removal of the Regiment to

Cannanore, kept aloof from us, and returned to their old ways.

The two Catechists at Palghaut have been diligent in carrying the

message of the Gospel to both Malayalis and Tamulians in and

around that populous town.

hey also paid a visit to an interesting

tribe of mountaineers in the Anemala-hills, who heard them attentively,

and invited them soon to return; but Daniel suffered long and severely

from jungle fever, contracted on this excursion, and the visit has not

been repeated.

O’Brien also was several times laid up with a

liver-complaint.

In the month of September the wife of the European Ca

Stocking fell asleep, believing in the Lord Jesus with childlike

confidence.

Br. GuNpERT WRITES: Since January last we have received a

heathen family, which had formerly been under instruction at Calicut,

but had left again without joining the Church.

This family at first

behaved so very badly, living in constant dissensions, that we were

just about to send them away once more, chiefly on account of the

incredible hardness of heart, which the mother of the house showed on

all oceasions,—when it pleased the Lord, so to touch her heart by the

word of the last Judgment and of the books which shall be opened

(Rev. xx, 12.), that she wept for days together and confessed her sins

to God and man.

Thinking it right to be cautious in this case, we

determined to prolong the time of preparation, and are happy to find

at the end of the year, that there is indeed a decided change in

the old people: so we hope soon to receive them into the Church by

Baptism.

A Syrian family of the Roman Catholic faith, which was for some

time at Chombala, and since May 1852 at Cannanore, has left us in a

sad manner.

It soon became apparent that the father of the family

was too little grounded in faith, to resist the constant revilings and

taunts of the Romanists; and at the same time his caste-prejudices

were so strong, that he secretly arranged a marriage between his sis-

ter and a Roman Catholic.

The intended bridegroom was willing

to become Protestant, but would not forsake his evil practices, such

as drinking.

This induced us to withhold our assent from the

engagement; whereupon the deluded man took his sister back from

our Girls School, threw himself into the arms of Romanism, professed

great delight at having regained his peace of mind, rejoiced at the

public burning of his Bible, and condemned all heresy to the nether-

19

most hell. After all the Roman priest found, he could not marry the

pair from som: canonical impediment; consequently the family left

him and returned to nominal Protestantism, but joined themselves to

another denomination.

Julia, a Wettuwer woman, who had been forsaken by her husband

and had received baptism in 1852, has regained her children by her

husband’s death.

This man after seeing and hearing much of the

truth, had at last left our neighbourhood in great enmity, and forbid-

heard of his death after the lapse of a fortnight, his relations had al-

ready taken charge of the children, and these thought to honor their

dead father by refusing to become Christians.

However

their

heathen guardian, whose own child happened to be lying dead in the

hut, surrounded by weeping female relations, was touched by the en-

treaties proffered in the name of a truly desolate mother; God inclined

his heart to let the, children depart and join her, and she thus joyfully

learned, that the Lord is abl(e to restore even what has long been

given up.

The Girls’ School which numbers 56 boarders, is flourishing. In

the month of May we had the joy of admitting seven girls to Church-

membership by confirmation.

In conclusion Br. Hebich desires to send his special

love to his dear Friends, Brethren and Children in the

Lord, whom, though dispersed in all directions, he

strives to hold in faithful remembrance.

We live in

times which, no doubt, try our faith. So instead of grow-

ing slack, let us be urged forward in the ways of our

Immanuel by that word of Peter: “If the righteous

scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the

sinner appear?”’—%Jesus Christ, the same yesterday,

and to day, and for ever.”—He will not fail, neither

become faint nor weary.

Therefore, Beloved, let us

be steadfust and look up unto Him, who has begun a

good work in us.

He will also perform it to the praise

of the Father. Hallelujah!

Amen.

The congregation is, thank God, steadily increasing

in numbers.

On the 15th of January 1854, Br. Greiner

had the happiness of baptizing sixty persons, adults

and children.

The new-comers are partly residents

in Mangalore, partly people from neighbouring villages,

which are frequently visited by the Missionaries and

Catechists.

Some families of weavers, natives of Gurpur and Panambur, have

joined us, having been made acquainted with the truth by some of

our Christians.

A young man who had gone through much adversity,

at last found rest in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Before he could be

baptized, he died suddenly of an apoplectic fit, the sequel of a jungle-

fever, which had gradually undermined his health. A Concani Brah-

man, who had married a low caste woman, and had suffered much on

account of this misalliance, heard the word of God through some of

our Christians, and joined us.

His sincerity and candour lead us to

hope much for him.

At our out-station Bolma, a man of the name of Maroo, who had

formerly cursed his Christian children, was at last subdued by the

distress which he suffered by -being separated from his industrious

sons, and has now joined the Church.—A family of the Bant (Nayer)

21

caste at Bolina has also joinedv us after a hard struggle.

The per-

suasion of influential heathen and Mahommedans in the neighbourhood

had almost unsettled the minds of these people, when something

occurred to convince them, that their heathen and Mussulman friends

were after all extremely selfish,—upon which they came to us, full of

shame and repentance.

A Roman Catholic youth of good family, who had been a student

in the Popish college, but had left it from conscientious reasons, was

through the influence of Br. 8. Miiller brought to the knowledge

of the truth, and joined our congregation after many struggles.—On

the other hand three members of our congregation have joined the

Romanists.

One who had formerly been a Roman Catholic, has

returned to his former creed; another went over after he had been

excommunicated from our congregation on account of adultery; and

a woman left us in hopes of finding there greater temporal advantages.

The Girls’ School is in a prosperous state.

It now numbers 65

girls.

Three have died during the past year; two of these gave us a

good hope regarding their inward state.

Five of the elder girls have

married during the year.

scholars, who are, besides the usual school lessons, employed in

weaving mats, and in manufacturing twine and rope; they are also

taught to fold and stitch books, and to cultivate the garden.—DBr.

Deggeller has devoted some of his time to Bazar-preaching, and has

made some preaching tours in the neighbourhood of Mangalore and

along the Ghauts, on which he was accompanied by a number of the

boys under his charge.

Thirty-three of our Christians are now occupied in the weaving

establishment under the superintendence of Br. Haller, which is of all

our workshops by far the most successful.

Two children of our late Catechist Andreas have followed him in

death; the first an amiable girl, who desired to be with the Lord, and

was taken away most unexpectedly; the other Joseph, a hopeful

youth, who although enfeebled by a long fever, was still intent on his

studies, until informed of the dangerous turn his disease was taking.

As soon as he heard the news, he rejoiced ‘over the prospect of de-

parting for his eternal home, and when his hour was come, exclaimed

with his eyes raised to heaven, ¢Oh what glory do I see!”

THE CATECHIST

SCHOO L.

Rev: S. Kullen, and Rev. H. A. Kaundinya.

The number of the Catechist Class has been redﬁeed

to twelve, for two of the pupils had to be dismissed for

disobedience and indifference to their calling.

The

progress made is on the whole satisfactory.—During the

rainy season some of the pupils were retarded by failure

of health.

The pupils have completed a course of sacred history. They have

read in the Old Testament Isaiah, Job, and the writings of Solomon.

A number of those Psalms, which contain more explicit prophecies

regarding Christ, were carefully explained to them, with the assistance

of a valuable popular commentary, which we hope ere long to trans-

late and print in Canarese.

In the New Testament the Acts of the

Apostles and the Epistles have been read and explained, with special

reference to the Church History of the Apostolic age.

In ancient Canarese seventy-five of those short poems, which teach

the worthlessness of all worldly pursuits and the necessity of exclusive

devotion to one God, have been read and explained. These poems,

which are highly esteemed by the educated Natives, are not only

classical in their style, but also highly interesting, because they show so

clearly, how near an approach to truth the enlightened Hindoo mind

is capable of, and yet at the same time what an immense gulf separates

even the finest sentiments of heathenism from the truth as it is in Jesus.

~—In German a solid grammatical foundation has been laid; and some of

the scholars begin to translate with ease.

Singing is much practised,

and we are glad to say, with pleasing success.

Br. Kaundinya, lately assisted by Br. Deggeller,

has regularly preached in the Bazar on Tuesday and

Friday Evenings.

He 1s on these ocecasions accom-

panied by his pupils; and it is a matter of thankfulness

to be able to say, that the audiences have usually been

numerous and well behaved, although as yet no visible

fruit of these labors can be pointed out.

bourhood of this station. Especially at Uchila, Gudde,

Beilur, and Kalidnapur, great progress is visible. These

places have therefore been frequently visited; and also

the festivals which took place in the vicinity, have been

made use of to proclaim the word of truth.

Entire

families in this neighbourhood have renounced idolatry,

and, what is peculiarly hopeful, in several instances

the converts have been permitted to continue to reside

under the same roof with their heathen relatives.

A late

visitation of the Cholera has been instrumental in direct-

ing the attention of many towards Christianity, chiefly

because some of our Christians attended upon sick hea-

then, who had been forsaken by their own people, and

even slept in their houses.

One woman who has onl

lately joined the Church, especially distinguished herself

by her self-devoted and courageous love towards her

heathen neighbours.

Our Christian Toddy-drawers have unanimously come to the

resolution, not to retail any more toddy, but to sell it wholesale to

the contractor only.

This resolution makes them very dependent on

the contractor; but it has been necessary in order to save their families

from the contamination, which is the unavoidable concomitant of the

retail-sale of spirits.

It would be far better, if all the toddy could

be converted into sugar; but this is rendered next to impossible by the

scarcity of fuel.

The Mulki congregation has also resolved to build a church;

and the very considerable contributions in money and labor which all

the Church-members have made, show that our people are earnestly

desiring, and really deserve to have a suitable place of worship.

While the congregation is thus prosperously advancing, we have

of course to experience a good deal of enmity from those who are

without.

One of our converts had to leave his daughter, a girl of 7

years, in the hands of a heathen, to whom she had been betrothed.

Some of our people had their fields and gardens spoiled by malevolent

neighbours, while they themselves were at church. Others again are

threatened with vexatious lawsuits, for which false witnesses are easily

procured by their adversaries.

In the beginning of the monsoon the waters rose to an unheard of

27

height, and the consequence was that our plantation at Kadike Wég

much damaged, and the houses of the Christians swept away. Happily

no lives were lost.—During the rains Br. Biihrer translated Barth’s

Biblical Stories into Tulu, and now he is engaged in the translation of

a valuable Manual of Christian Instruction for the use of Catechists.

Josiah, a young man who is preparing for the office of Catechist,

was seized by his relations and forcibly detained, while on a visit to his

native place.

After a fruitless attempt to escape, his relations tried to

compel him by intimidation, to take an oath that he would not leave

his mother again.

He did not swear, but interceded for his deluded

relatives, requesting us not to lodge a complaint with the authorities.

After some weeks he happily found means to escape, and has since

been left at peace.

In the neighbourhood of Udapi, an intelligent Bhuta priest has

joined us with his wife and brother-in-law.

The priest greatly ex-

cited the ire of his neighbours, by deliberately desecrating the Bhtita

temple. He has remained steady. The loss of his wife and little child,

who died shortly after having been baptized, was blessed to the hus-

band by increasing his humility and zeal in the pursuit of the new

way, which he rejoices to have found. His brother-in-law was for a

short time alarmed, thinking that the family were suffering from the

wrath of the neglected idol; but prayer and exhortation soon restored

him to sober cheerfulness.

P. 8. We are rejoiced to add, that on the 26th of February 1854

twenty adults were baptized at Gudde; and the prayer room at that out-

station is already becoming too small to hold the growing congregation.

Br. Ammann was absent from his station for four

months.

The state of Mrs. Ammann’s health rendered a

change to the Hills indispensabfé, and Br. Ammann’s own

much debilitated frame required a similar change. During

his absence, the Catechist has faithfully done his work

among both Christians and heathen; while Br. Ammann

found many opportunities for preaching the word of

God on the Hills, where he frequently accompanied the

Brethren on their Missionary tours.—While at Honore,

Br. Ammann has regularly preached in the bazar twice

a week. His auditory has mostly consisted of strangers,

for the inhabitants of Honore and the surrounding

villages show much aversion and indifference.

The Tamil congregation shows a hopeful zeal and

earnestness.

Some of the members are diligent in their

endeavours to attract enquirers. Their children are col-

lected in a school, which a Christian Lady carries on

with long-tried devotedness. Some heathen, among them

also a Brahman, have professed a desire to become Chris-

tians; but Br. Ammann is not yet quite clear about the

motives of the latter.—The bazar school is in a better

state than last year.

troducing himself to them by means of a native well acquainted with

them, who accompanied him on his tour.

Several of these cultivators,

and among the rest the headman of the caste, listened very attentively

to the preaching of the Word, seemed to comprehend its meaning, and

eventually became quite friendly and familiar.

Also among the

three other castes of cultivators Br. Ammann has found acceptance.

At Sircy there is a spirit of enquiry among the higher castes.—

The small Tamil congregation at this place has been repeatedly

visited.— At Sunda, the Swami of the Haiga Brahmans, and the

spiritual head of the Jains, were visited.

Both were, alas! equally

contented with their own way and religious persuasion.— In March,

the great festival at Glocarna was visited by the Missionary in com-

pany of the Catechist.

The Gospel was preached to thousands.

29

Some heard the word willingly, while others cried out, %Great 18

Mahabaléshwara!”

From the 17th of August to the 2nd of October, Br. Ammann

travelled back from the Nilagiris to Honore, via Mysore and

Mercara.

He halted for two days at every stage, in order to preach

and distribute portions of Secripture.

He was enabled to dispose of

some of the latter in almost every place, and had of course ample

opportunity for preaching. At Mysore the people grew angry, because

the Missionary declined to enter into useless disputes, and confined

himself to the statement of Gospel-truth. At Periapatam, the announce-

ment that we are all sinners and worthy of the curse, was peculiarly

unwelcome, because the multitude thought, that words of such evil

omen would deprive them of the blessing to be derived from the feast

they were then celebrating. Nevertheless the majority of hearers every-

where were attentive.—At Mysore Br. Ammann had the pleasure of

meeting with a low caste man, who had been baptized by the Rev. C.

Campbell of the London Mission.

This man teaches a school every

evening without any remuneration.

The word of God seems to have

touched the hearts of some of his scholars, who propose to become

Christians, but are somewhat intimidated by the petty persecutions,

which their teacher has to endure.

Br. Albrecht has been obliged to proceed to the

Nilagiris in quest of health.

He left the station on

30

the 17th of September. Br. Weigle has been 6rdered

by the Home-Committee, to repair to Mangalore, and

there to superintend the literary labors in connection

with our press.

The station has been reinforced by Br.

Moerike who arrived here on the 6th of February 1854,

and by two new Brethren from home, who came out

by the December steamer.

The latter are at present

engaged in learning the language.

The Brethren have

been grievously disappointed by the misconduct of several

enquirers who at first gave them fair hopes.

One family

has been baptized. The father of the house, a Tamu-

lian, had long been desirous of joining our Church, but

had been prevented by his wife, who was a very violent

and ill-disposed person.

This woman was bitten by a

mad dog at the beginning of last year, and the fear of

death, as well as a sense of the kindness which she ex-

perienced at the hands of some of our Christians, pro-

duced a marked change in her conduct, and inclined her

to ask for admission into the church. After a course of

instruction, suited to the very limited capacities of this

pair, they were baptized together with their children on

the 22nd of January last.

Their conduct has hitherto

been consistent and satisfactory.

The Schools are in a prosperous state.

Lately the experiment

has been made of establishing a Heathen Girls’ School on the Mission

premises.

All sorts of difficulties were started at first; but we per-

severed; and now we have a tolerably well attended day school, which

is constantly under our own eye,—a thing which we had long felt to

be most important, especially with regard to Girl's Schools.

1t is

worthy of remark, that some of the heathen girls have, of their own

accord, desired to be instructed in female work, and have for this pur-

pose attended at extra hours.

The congregation, of which the Tamulians form the greater part,

has given more satisfaction than in former years.

The great stum-

bling blocks have been taken away, and there is reason to hope for

better things.

In the course of last year, a Native Reading and Debating Society

31

was established here by an enterprising and intelligent young man

from Poonah.

Although this institution has of course no direct

Christian tendency, yet the Missionaries have watched its rise and

progress with attention, and have thought it right to encourage it by

permitting the use of one of their schoolrooms for the debating meet-

ings.

The debates have frequently turned upon those points, which

must be uppermost in the mind of every real friend of India, such

as the degraded state of the female sex, the pernicious effects of

caste, the uselessness of charms &e.—The Library and Reading Room

is also, for the present, established in a side room of one of our school

buildings.

In connection with this society, our Native friends have

established a High Caste Girl School, which is well attended, and where

the progress of the pupils was shown, at a late examination, to be

very satisfactory.

We hope, that with regard to these interesting

undertakings of the Natives themselves, the saying of our Lord will be

fulfilled, “He that is not against us, is on our part.”

The past year has been marked by trials and defec-

tions rather than by a joyful progress

of the kingdom of

God. Yet we are thankful to report that also during

this year a family of six persons has been baptized; and

there are five Catechumens awaiting baptism. Towards

the end of 1853 and in the beginning of the present

year, Br. Miiller and his wife have been seriously i1l of

fever, which disease has been very prevalent during the

2

&

past season; but they hope that by God’s mercy the worst

is passed, and that new strength will be vouchsafed

them to continue their labors.

The most melancholy occurrence of the year has been the falling

away of Andreas, one of our Christian goldsmiths.

This man, whose

conduct had been irreproachable for more than a year, lately showed

symptoms of mental aberration, which induced the Missionary to place

him under treatment in the Dharwar lunatic Asylum.

While there,

he seemed to be doing well; but after he had been discharged, it

became but too evident, that he had become addicted to the use of

intoxicating drugs.

All remonstrance was in vain; he became quite

unmanageable, and at last left the Mission premises, and returned to

his heathen relatives and acquaintances, where he endeavored to stifle

the voice of conscience by railing and blaspheming against the truth.

In this sad occupation he was joined by one of the younger members

of the congregation, who had found himself disappointed in his selfish

and worldly expectations, and therefore left the Mission. The conduct

of both however was such, that their words were without weight even

in the estimation of the heathen, who would gladly, if possible, have

made the most of their testimony against the truth.

In October a young coppersmith broke his caste, cut off his hair-

lock, and steadfastly opposed all the attempts of his relatives, to make

him return.

The brothers of the young man hereupon lodged a

complaint, in which they represented that three of our Christians had

forcibly abduced him. The native magistrate, instead of investigating

this false charge, applied himself to intimidate the youth, and at the

same time permitted his relations to use their best efforts to persuade

and alarm him.

Notwithstanding all this; the youth repeated half a

“Take this down”,

said the magistrate to the writer, who had not taken any notes of

what had passed before; and forthwith the young man was delivered

to his triumphant relations, who were so elated by this success, that

was brought to the notice of the European authorities, an order was

given to the effect, that in future all cases of conversion should be

exempted from the jurisdiction of the native magistrates.—It was not

long before we enjoyed the benefit of this order.

A blacksmith at

Domricoppa had long been friendly and willing to hear the word of

God, but had thought it impossible and unnecessary to break Caste,—

in which persuasion he was strengthened by the Roman Catholic

33

inhabitants of his village.

His son, a lad of 20 years, was more fully

persuaded of the truth, and therefore came to join us.

The father,

encouraged by the late triumph of the coppersmith, complained to the

Native Magistrate; but the Missionary insisted upon the case being

sent up to the Collector, where, after a short investigation, the young

man was permitted to act according to his own conviction. He has

since given much satisfaction by his conduct; and we are in hopes that

the father will yet follow the son.

There are several other men, of whom it may be said that they are

not far from the kingdom of God; but one is hindered by his affection

for an old father—another by the desire of being first settled in life;

and, alas, the baneful practice of smoking and eating opium and hemp

is a great obstacle with many. We frequently meet with people who

have a great deal to say against idolatry and caste, and even

assert that their God and ours are the same,—while, if we get more

intimately acquainted with them, we find that tkeir God is principally

worshipped by secret meetings at which persons of various castes eat,

drink and smoke with each other.

How are those to be pitied who

consider such drunken banquets as the expression of an enlightened

esoteric religion!

Their progress is

pleasing, and they are, as far as we can judge, in a very

proper frame of mind.—There are no great successes to

report; yet six souls have been baptized and four others

are 1n course of instruction.

There is less opposition,

than formerly, against the preaching of the Word. The

leaven seems gradually to penetrate the lump.—The

Schools have recovered from the panic occasioned by

the first conversions and are now in a thriving condition.

Jacob Chittawadiga, a weaver from the neighbourhood, had his

attention drawn to the “new way” by the conversion of one of his

friends. He was regular in his attendance upon our evening prayers,

but felt too weak to separate from a woman, with whom he had

formed a connexion, and who would not hear anything of Christianity.

At last he threatened to forsake her, and their domestic peace was

disturbed. In Oct. 1852 the woman came to the Mission house, where,

as it happened to be Sunday, she was invited to attend worship. An

impression seemed to have been made upon her, though she avoided

(as it seemed, from bashfulness) the Missionary. But after a few

days Chittawadiga came, determined to remain with us; and declared

that his principal anxiety was how he might be saved.

The woman

too promised to come; but subsequently her heathen friends prevailed

upon her to stay away. Jacob was baptized on Easterday 1853, and

has hitherto conducted himself well.

He weaves together with his

friend Joshua, who had first attracted him.

‘In February last, Br. Wiirth made a preaching tour, in the course

of which he also visited Honnoor, where our brethren of the Bellary

Mission have a hopeful outstation.

At Katrigi, in the Nizam’s country,

Paul endeavoured to obtain his wife, of whom he had heard that she

was half inclined to join him.

But his endeavors were unsuccessful;

Paul was not even permitted to see, or converse with, her.

Subse-

quently however we succeeded in convincing the parents of the young

woman of our disinterestedness, and conceived hopes of better success

at some future time.

These too, however, were destined to be frustra~

ted: for the young woman died soon after of Cholera,

In February 53 a young woman, a native of Gadag, who had long

desired to become a Christian, notwithstanding the threatenings of

of her father-in-law, learned to read and write, and is now diligently

The farming operations at this station will have to

undergo a great change, because the Commissariat af

Belgaum has ceased to purchase the sugar, which used

to be manufactured at this station, and there will, con-

sequently, be no market for so large a quantity as has

hitherto been produced. However, even if a regular

sale could have been secured, the manufacture must

have ceased after a year or two from want of fuel.

In August and September last Br. Leonberger made a Missionary

tour to the South, accompanied by the Catechist pupils from Betti-

gherry. e preached the glad tidings of salvation in twenty-eight

villages and towns.

At Mulagoonda three young weavers stayed with

Lakshmeshwara, whose ruins tell of a bygone time of glory and splendor,

as well as at Ranabednore, several hopeful enquirers were met with.

The collecting of the Christians 1

n the Mission éom—

pound (formerly they lived here and there in the midst

of the heathen village) has been a salutary and even

necessary measure, which enables the Missionary to be-

come more thoroughly acquainted with them and to exert

a greater influence over them.

The Catechist, feeling that he had not done all that he might have

done for his heathen relatives, asked and received leave to visit

them. He went to his native place, which'is about fifty miles distant

(in the Nizam's Country); asked their pardon for some wrong, which

he had done them while he was a heathen, and preached to them the

word concerning the Saviour of sinners.

All were touched, and some

of them promised to join him at the Mission Station.

The Church has received an important addition in

the person and family of Malcappa, a silk weaver.

38

This man had conducted a large weaving establishment of his

own; and though he was in debt to a considerable amount

, yet while

he was a heathen, he had found no difficulty in continuin

g his oper-

ations, and even paying off part of the debt.

But when he declared

his intention of becoming a Christian,

there was a general panic

among his creditors.

The

y came and tried every means of dissuading

him from the decisive step

. But he nobly resolved: «Let things go,

as they may: I will cast myself at the feet of the Lord Jesus.” and

acted accordingly. Upon this the creditors thought it preferable not

to urge the man to a declaration of insolvenc

y, and the new convert

on his part made arrangements at once to p

ay off as much of his debt

as he could. For this purpose he sold 1

s newly built house and

his stock in trade.

Now the question was how he should henceforth

support himself and his family. At the same time it became desirable

to make a provision for the other Christians who had, till then, lived

in inconvenient dependency on a heathen master silkweaver. In this

emergency we received most valuable aid fr

Malcappa has since been baptized and called

The accession of this energetic

at gain to our congregation, and has

already led several of his

friends to think of following him.

A weaver from the Nizam’s Country who, six years ago, had com-

mitted a crime, came to visit us in great compunction of heart. He

seemed to be greatly struck at our unwillingness to receive him at once,

as the Mussulmans had offered to do at other places.

Pilgrimages had

given no peace to his mind: and he asked with grea

t earnestness, if

Christ would forgive him.

He was told that he was guilty of death,

and that we should not protect him, nor indeed could do 0, in case he

were prosecuted.

He said, that he was willing to suffer death, and

that he was only seeking for peace of mind. We thought it not right

to stand in the way of one seeking rest with Christ. He broke his caste,

and took up his abode with some of the Christians.

Once again he

was driven to leave us by his inward restlessness;

but he has now

returned, and opportunity is given to him to prove his sincerity.

In February 1853 the weaver caste celebrated a great festival in

this neighbourhood ; the image of their god, which, pending a quarrel

between two parties of this caste, had long been buried in a dunghill,

was now rescued from its ignoble resting place and solemnly en-

throned. During this festival we had crowds of visitors who tried to

ascertain the truth of the various rumors they had heard regarding

our Congregation: the influx was so great that the Christians were

obliged to stop their daily work, in order to speak with the visitors.

Many have, there is reason to hope, left with favorable impressions.

A remarkable case of conversion was that of an intelligent Raj-

Herald No. 51 for 19 Qct. 1853.

This man and his family resided

on the Mission Premises for some time, and gave great satisfaction ;

but after the lapse of some months they made up their minds to go

to Madras because the climate of the Hills did not seem to suit the

wife.

The Brethren accompanied them with their best wishes and

The Hill tribes, especially the Badagas, have during

last year been visited by a very fatal epidemic, probably

typhus fever. This scourge carried off at least 500 per-

sons, and afforded new opportunities for reaching the

hearts of these poor people.

In several villages it raged so violently that those who were not

attacked, took fright and ran away to the jungles, leaving the dead

and dying to themselves.

The brethren were incessantly employed

in visiting the sick and bringing to them the Gospel message which

had been known to many of them in their former days of health. Br.

Metz especially devoted himself to this service, and was also enabled

to distribute medicines by the liberal aid of some Christian friends.

His treatment of the sick was, in many cases, blessed with success;

in one village, where the disease had been raging, not a single per-

son died after the arrival of the medecine.

Being so constantly

amongst the sick and dying, Br. Metz sometimes felt as if he would

also be seized by the contagion; but the Lord has not given the

heathen this opportunity for reviling His name.

41

In one village (Keeloor) the heathen have again asked the breth

to pull down the idol temple, and to erect a small Christian Church.

Br. Metz told them, to do so themselves; but for this their courage

is not yet sufficient.

The school at Kaity has come to a lamentable

end: it had to be discontinued because four of the boys were con-

victed of a long continued course of theft and robbery on the Mission

premises. The Brethren meet with greater opposition than formerly.

Doors which they used to find open, are shut and bolted against them.

They have sometimes to hear horrible blasphemy. Yet there are

also numerous proofs of the efficacy of the Word which they preach

under so much discouragement.

Young men, who had learned to

read and write in the late Mr. Casamajor’s school, now rejoice to

refresh their knowledge by means of the recently printed Gospel of

%

St. Luke in their mother tongue.

The intercourse with Badagas of the Malayalam country, which

was established by Br. Morike in 1851, continues to be kept up.

Parties of these frequently visit Kaity on their trading expeditions, on

which they bring Buffaloes and gold dust for sale.

One of the principal headmen, who has frequently prayed on his

knees with one of the Missionaries, has been accused by the others on

account of his continued neglect of the established idolatrous usages ;

and the Kotas have threatened not to supply him henceforth with the

agricultural and domestic.implements which they make for the rest of

[

the hill tribes. A Badaga, who was just about to steal a wife according

to their custom, happened to fall in with one of the Brethren, and

asked to have his blessing for the connexion he was on the point of

forming.

The Missionary insisted on the word:

“Whoremongers

and adulterers God will judge”!

The man in vain entreated the

Missionary to unsay this word, till at last his mind was set at ease by

his relations, who assured him with an oath, that the word of a Padre

was of no consequence, and then urged him to take the woman.

Shortly afterwards the woman died in a sudden manner and the man

was about to kill himself by swallowing opium, when his brother

came running to the Missionary, to ask him, to speak “good words”

to the disconsolate man.

the more.

In this manner, while some fear, others hate

On the 23rd of Au

died.

gust a young Badaga of the name of Nanja

This youth had given us great hopes from his boyhood.

He

had been the best scholar of our first Canarese School, had subse-

quently rendered us good service as a teacher of the Badaga dialect,

and had given such evidence of the workings of the truth in his heart,

that our dear departed friend Mr. Casamajor sometimes designated

14th Report German Evang. Mission.

him as the probable firstfruits of the Badaga Mission.

But, alas,

though his impressions and acknowledgments of the truth continued

strong to the very end, he delayed an open profession of Christianity

until it was too late, and we had with sorrow to accompany his corpse

to the heathen funeral pile.

A sister of this lad who had for years

suffered from leprosy, often attentively listened to the parables of the

Prodigal Son, and of Dives and Lazarus, which were read to her by her

elder brother.

When she heard of poor Lazarus, she seemed inwardly

to liken her own situation to his.

On her deathbed she complained,

that she had no evidence of the existence of another world.

There

is no Keilasa, (Hindoo heaven,) she exclaimed.

But on being re-

minded of a Badaga song descriptive of the other world (which contains

a very near approach to Christian ideas) she all at once exclaimed:

“Yes there is a heaven”—and soon afterwards expired.

Suicide is very common among the Badagas.

Br. Metz has suc-

ceeded in rescuing five Badaga women who had poisoned themselves

with opium, by the speedy administration of suitable antidotes.

CONCLUSION

0

The preceding account will show, that the past year

has been a season of progress in different provinces of

the Mission, especially among the people of the Tulu

Country. For the fourth time the increase of the year

in converts amounts to two hundred souls

May soon

the time come, when the numbers of prisoners set free

by the name of Jesus will be counted no more by hun-

dreds, but thousands.

The liberality of our good Friends and Brethren in

India has kept pace with the increase of our necessities.

Upwards of fifteen thousand Rupees have been contri-

buted to the Mission, besides some thousand Rupees

received by the new Mission in Coorg. Our joy in re-

ceiving these gifts if love is great; how great must be

the joy of the cheerful givers! Acts xxii, 35

Great things are now doing for the temporal good of

India by its Rulers, awakened to a sense of their great

responsibilities

May the people of God be aroused to a

corresponding zeal in laboring for the spiritual interests

of this nation, so that when it begins to feel its powers

multiplied by knowledge, it may find itself bound to its

Christian Governors by the sacred ties of gratitude fox

spiritual life and liberty—communicated to it though

the agency of Evangelical Missions
