GERMAN EVANGELIGAL NISSION

RLEEORT,

The course of the past year has been Ghequ@r@d-

by more changes and trials than have usually fallen to

our lot during a twelvemonth.

Laborers whom we

thought almost necessary to the wellbeing of the Mission,

have been suddenly removed by the Lord of the harvest.

Others were obliged to return for a season to their na-

tive country. Some of the Stations were, in consequence,

seriously weakened, a loss not compensated for by the

arrival of a few reinforcements, however valuable.

To

complete the short sketch of our present position we

must add, that three new stations have been commenced

at the very time when our home resources are curtailed

by the present war, and by the distress which has now

80 long prevailed in Southern Germany.

Serious losses were first suffered by our Chinese

Mission.

Br. Lechler was, in March 1854, married to

a sister sent out to him from Sweden: he had to resign

this gift to the Lord within little more than a month.

The same disease that cut short her career, shortly after

carried off our Br. Hamberg, a laborer highly esteemed

1*

4

by his colleagues in the field of Chinese Missions. He

had just been enabled to compile from authentic sources

a narrative of the Insurrection in China, and was on the

point of paying a visit to the camp of Hung-sin-tsuen,

accompanied by a kinsman of the Rebel Chief, when he

was unexpectedly called to his rest, (in May 1854.)

On the 7th of July we lost Br. Biihler, the senior

Missionary at Kaity, by an attack of Cholera. The

widows of both thege brethren returned to Europe with

their little ones. ~ Mrs. Hamberg has already reached

home, having lost one of her children during the sea

voyage.—Mrs. Greiner, who for twelve years had labored

diligently in the Mangalore Mission, and could not be

prevailed on to retire for a season from her post, though

an insidious disease had undermined her strength, expired

on the 23rd of November from mere debility, having

only half an hour before given birth to a healthy child.

These were sore trials.

Little less painful than these losses were the severe

criticisms which they drew on our society, as if it neg-

lected to care for the wellbeing of its laborers, and was

therefore guilty of their premature death. We will not

hide from our friends, that we are indeed exhorted by our

Committee to live as economically as can be done with-

out injury to health or efficiency; and that the majority

of our supporters on the continent are continually ask-

ing questions such as these: are not our Indian stations

are not the

established on too expensive a footing?

5

Missionaries occasionally tempted to live like Gentiemen?

Can no reductions be made in their establishments? etc.

We are in this respect under a sort of cross-fire—our

excellent friends on this side of the water wish us to do

the thing somewhat handsomely and generously; the

brethren at home fear to lessen the sympathies for our

work within their sphere by allowing us too great a

latitude in the disposal of money, and beg of us to

discover where farther retrenchments might be feasible.

Now we may venture to say that as a body we are

trying to do our best under existing circumstances; we

do not allow ourselves to be swayed by any demands

or suggestions of friends in India or at home, which

from experience we feel assured, would, if attended to,

injure our work. We desire to maintain a German style

of living as far as is consistent with prudence: and we

are not aware that our ranks are thinned by sickness

and death to a greater extent than those of English or

American Missions.

We do not wish to give any

offence to such of our brethren in the ministry as live

more comfortably, or to judge their manner of life and

the scale of their expenses: and we hope that neither

will theirs be set up as the standard; seeing that in such

a case even the instructions given to the Apostles in

Matth. x. must be found fault with, and the life of St.

Paul condemned as wanting in respectability. May we

be instructed from above both how to abound and how

to suffer need, without being ever found wanting in

6

L]

cheerful contentedness! ¢He that is of a merry heart

hath a continual feast”:—may no folly or guilt of ours

ever deprive us of the same!

But according to some statements that have found

their way into print, we must by this time have done

with cheerfulness and contentedness.

Not only have

we “health, spirits, and hope destroyed”, but our Mission

is %in all probability ruined for ever” by the shortsight-

edness of our deputation. We are happy to declare that

such is not the case.

We do not say that we were all

equally pleased with all the proceedings of our deputa-

tion.

We do not mean to maintain that such inspections

are an unmixed good, neither would we concede that

they are an utter failure.

Too much may have been

expected from them, and their danger seems to lie in

the temptation to the Home Committees of acting at once

boldly upon the views and theories resulting from the

But

information obtained by a visit of a few months.

it cannot be counted a grievous hardship, if Missionariés

are now and then forced to look on their own doings

from different points of view, or to have the nimbus that

surrounds their work, (especially among continental

churches) removed by unsparing scrutiny and minute

discussion, or to have occasionally to defend with rea-

sons a position taken up in faith. A work that is ruined

by going through trials like these, is not of God. If

b i

any of us have had our tempers tried by such difficulties,

new to us after the great liberty of former years, we

L

can only say, we are sorry for it, and hope by the grace

of God to do better next time

But we certainly never meant to cast away our

confidence and beg to assure our friends, as they will

gather from the reports below, that during the past

year the prospects of success in our calling have no-

ways diminished

On the 6th of January 1855 two ships were seen

approaching the Mangalore roads. The one proved to be

the “Owen Glendower”, wherein our Brethren F. Miiller

and Huber with their wives and Mrs. Biihler were to

embark for Europe, taking with them 23 children of the

Mission

These were sad partings

Yet all felt com-

forted when the other Ship was found to be the “Vernon”,

about to land two Brethren, the Rev. G. Camerer and

F. Sauvain for the Tulu and Malayalam Missions, and

the brides of the Brethren Mcerike and Leonberger

We could not but perceive that, as regards the strength

of our laborers, we are still losers.

There is evidently

an end to the youthful times of our Mission, when every

loss inflicted by death or failing health was repaired

with alaerity.

We are now satisfied if we can at all

keep up the strength of our personal staff, and must

draw the means for any future extension from an in-

creasing number of efficient native teachers

Yet we

do not doubt that the Churches which sent us out will

strain every nerve to the full extent of their limited

means, in order to maintain their work of love and to

8

fill up -‘the gaps in our ranks. And we also hope that

many children of God in this country who are entrusted

with richer means of usefulness, and especially such

of them as have been brought to the knowledge of the

Lord in this heathen land, will be stirred up anew to

succour us according to our need, so that the spread of

the glorious Gospel in these regions not only be not

hindered, but even carried on more boldly and effectu-

ally in spite of the political commotions of the time.

As Br. Mcerike was ordered by the Committee, to

return to the Neilgherries, and Br. Kittel was directed

to take up his abode at Hoobly, only one brother has

remained at this place which used in former years to be

one of the principal stations of our Mission.—The native

congregation has been increased by the accession of one

Canarese family.

The head of this family is a cultivator, who was formerly a mem-

ber of one of those secret associations which are so numerous in the

S. M. country.

He used to attend nightly meetings in a solitary tem-

ple, to assist at discussions on doctrinal points and at those meals of

brotherhood, at which the distinctions of Caste are discarded. He soon

found, however, that the smoking of Opium and Bang, and the eating

of various kinds of animal food were the principal mysteries to be

learned at these meetings.

This did not satisfy him. At this time a

Gooroo showed him the % Mirror of the Heart” (one of our tracts), and

advised him to apply to the Padre for farther instruction. The Gooroo

himself had, he said, no inclination to search farther for the truth.

In

the mean time, the illness of a child induced the man to vow a pilgrim-

age to the abode of the celebrated, aged devotee (Adiviayya) near

Belgaum, who is said to subsist without taking any food. This man

too is said to have advised him to go to the Padres.

In this manner

the man, who is about thirty years of age, came to the Dharwar Mission

house.

He was instructed in the word of God and has conducted

himself satisfactorly. His wife also showed, during a serious illness,

that the word of God had not been without influence on her heart.

In

December last this family was baptized.—

Another Tamulian family which had been under instruction pre-

paratory to baptism, had to be postponed on account of gross sins of

which the husband at least has been convicted.

The Christian children, though still of tender age, make pleasing

progress-under the tuition of John.

Br. Meerike has devoted much of his time to Bazar preaching; and

the other Brethren, who were still studying the language, usually accom-

panied him. An especial opportunity of preaching the word to mul-

titudes, presented itself at a festival of the Cholera-goddess which last-

ed for three days.

Only on one day some Mohammedans created a

disturbance, by which the heathen also were encouraged to be noisy,

so that the preacher was silenced; but on the two other days he was

enabled to deliver his message without hindrance.

The Missionary family, especially Br. Miiller has,

during the last year, been severely tried by repeated

attacks of a malignant fever.

Still the Lord bas, in His

mercy, again vouchsafed a measure of health and strength.

In December last the hands of Br. Miiller were strength-

bl

ened by the accession of Br. Kittel who has been ordered,

after having acquired the Canarese language, to settle

i1

at this place.

One of the Christian weaver-families was

strongly tempted to forsake the fellowship of our little

church and to relapse into heathenism; yet we are thank-

ful to say—better counsels prevailed and some improve-

ment is visible in the conduct of the elder members of

this family. The yoimg blacksmith of whom mention

is made in last year's report, has since been baptized

and walks consistently.

Towards the close of 1854, six Christian men of the Congregation

set out, of their own accord, on a preaching tour to the neighbouring

towns and villages. They were, on the whole, well received and there

is reason to hope that they themselves, as well as others, will have

been benefited by their tour.—Br. Miiller also made a short tour in

November, but contracted a renewed and serious attack of fever. The

former indifference of many among the townspeople is gradually chan-

ged into decided enmity; but the great majority still adhere to the old

saying: “ We can do nothing ourselves; we must remain as we are, till

God is pleased to change us”.

This congregation has been diminished by the sepa-

ration from it of a married man with four children who

had

rown dissatisfied with the close superintendance

under which he lived at the Mission Premises.

Also a

psed in-

second married pair left the churgh, having rela

2%

to heathenish sing

On the other hand. one adult wo-

man and nine children have been added to the congre-

gation.

The latter were rescued from starvation duung

the late famine.

Mrs. Wiirth has taken charge of them,

assisted by some of the members of the congregation.

In June last Br. Wiirth visited Lingasagar in the Nizams Count-

ry. His way led him through parched fields—the want of water was

universal-—prices had risen to six times their usual amount; most of

the cattle had perished; the Pariah Villages were surrounded with

heaps of bones

The Gospel was preached to many; some heard it

meekly; others “raised smoke”

s the Canarese proverb says—that

is, tried to ward off the evangelical message by disputing. Many

said: Why should we join you, if we must still labor ?—Christ and

Channabasava are one and the same!—You are so powerful a na-

tion!—can't you, then, make rain? One man said that the drought arose

from God having let go the thread by which he holds the Universe;

he thought the end of the ever varying game of worldly life had now

arrived

The Mohammedans offered incense and sprinkled their

Mosques with water, in hopes of procuring rain

In one village a

Linga priest sat on a field for five days, refusing to eat or drink till

rain should come

At last the rain came, and the holy man was

brought back in triumph

The distress was very great

Many acknowledged that God had

sent the drought to abate their pride: and yet they remained hard-

hearted. Very frequently people say: When the proper time arrives,

all will join you, but this time has not yet come. Others say: We shall

become Christians if God inclines our hearts, but as he does not do $0,

we remain heathens.

Some, indeed, are very mear to the kingdom

of God, but they still want firmness of purpose to enter into it.

A heathen in our neighbourhood daﬂy smeared his sick child with

ashes in the name of Jesus Christ, saying the words & Let this child

be Thine in life and death”.

Upon farther enquiry we found that these

ashes had been given to the man by a Lingayet priest who is said to

have cured some cases of Cholera by the same application.

Others

are said to have been healed of snakebites by calling on the name of

Jesus.

Nevertheless these people who believe the name of Christ to

be so efficacious, will not hear of confessing him openly, although they

admit the necessity of so doing.

A great number of distressed people have come to

the Mission House during last year.—Some stayed for

several months, broke their Caste, attended our services,

and yet, after their most urgent wants had been satisfied,

it became apparent that they cared only for the bodily

support which they received from us.

The farmservants

have (as in former years) given much trouble by their

enmity to Christianity, which they show by doing every-

thing in their power to discourage new comers and

enquirers.

Some of the best servants were on this ac-

count dismissed. This intolerable rule of the heathen

that had received baptism at an outstation of the Bellary

Mission not very far from Malasamudra—but found it

rather difficult to gain a livelihood in their native place,

have been received here with the consent of their spiri-

tual fathers (6th January 1855); and several heathen

of their acquaintance, who are well inclined, have fol-

lowed them in the hope of obtaining regular occupation

on the extensive grounds of this colony.

Around us, the heathen have done their utmost to propitiate heaven

by means of extraordinary offerings, processions and festivals.

Num-

bers of saints professed to fast in hopes of obtaining rain from the

Gods.

They certainly abstain from their ordinary food, but are abun-

dantly provided with milk, plantains etc., and almost adored by the de-

14

luded multitudes

Only one thought seemed to fill the hearts of all, the

thought: “What will become of us, if rain is withheld”!

On all sides

we were met with the words

«If your God be the true one, ask him

to send rain”.—DBut it was evident that even a famine, however severe

a visitation, is not powerful enough to turn men’s hearts

“Thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive

correction ; they have made their faces harder than a rock they have

refused to return”.

Jerem, v. 3.

In July and August last a tour was made, during which the

Missionary met with many pleasing instances of earnest enquiry. At

Mulagunda especially, many weavers declared that they would gladly

become Christians if only a permanent outstation could be established

Also at Shiggale we had most attentive hearers

At Shiratte we met

a Mohammedan who appeared to be superior to most others in the

neighbourhood.

Though only an ordinary weaver, he reads and

understands the Koran, and bitterly complains of the ignorance and

drunkenness prevalent among his co-religionists.

1 THI!Z' CONGREGATION.

With the increase of the congregation, the anxieties

of the Missionaries increase.

There are many who do

not walk worthily of the Gospel in which they profess

to believe.

Yet we should be ungrateful, were we not

to acknowledge that the Lord still has his work in the

hearts of many both of the old and new members of the

congregation. — The Mission has experienced a sad be-

reavement in the death of Mrs. Greiner, of which more

hereafter. Br Greiner has left this station, at which he had

labored for upwards of twenty years, in order to take up

his abode and work at Udapi, forty miles to the North of

Mangalore, on the 13th of February 1855; Br. Biihrer

has taken his place.

There has been an unusual num-

17

ber of deaths in the congregation. | May the living

members be the more earnest in seeking the things

which belong to the peace of their souls!

A goodly

number of converts has been admitted into the Church

by Baptism on the 11th of February 1855.

Two young people at Bolma fell into grievous sin; the man con-

fessed, but the woman at first hardened her heart and threatened to run

away. But the Lord softened her.

For a whole fortnight she wept

and prayed and sought forgiveness for her sin.

She has since walked

in a becoming manner.—Old Simeon the Catechist was sent on a visit

to the new converts at Kalydnptr, who are exposed to much temptation

and intimidation.

Among the new comers there is a woman from an influential family

with four children.

She was first induced to seek help with Jesus on

account of the illness of her children, which she ascribed to the influ-

ence of evil spirits.

She has since been instructed and baptized, and

conduects herself satisfactorily.— An oilmaker who had wished to become

a Christian some years ago, but was then prevented, has now overcome

all obstacles, and there is every hope, that his large family will follow

2

his example.

Some, who had joined us and given fair hopes, have been again

drawn away, chiefly by the love of their relations.

The Romish Church greatly bestirs itself at Mangalore.

There

are to be opposition Schools, a College, a rival Industrial Establishment,

a Nunnery, and even, perhaps, a printing Press.

Would that we

could say with the Apostle: Every way, whether in pretence or in

truth, Christ is preached;

and I therein do rejoice, yea and will

rejoice.

The girls’ School was under the supéri‘ntendance of the late Mrs.

Greiner till her strength completely failed, when Mrs. Hoch teok tem-

porary charge of it.

It is now conducted by Mrs. Biihrer.

A great

number of the elder girls were confirmed and admitted to the Sacra-

ment towards the close of last year.

The boys’ orphan School is, we trust, prospering. Some of the

boys are very well behaved and affectionate.

The prospect of being

called back by their ungodly relations moved some of them even to

tears.

A new branch of industry has been hit upon, viz. the manu-

facture of mats and rugs out of dyed Coir-rope.

There appears to be

considerable demand for such mats.

The Orphan House will soon

have to migrate to Mulky, where it will have more adequate and sa-

lubrious accomodation than in the confined and overcrowded Compound

of our lower Mission House.—Some of the more advanced boys have

been instructed with a view to their being employed as Schoolmasters.

A shop has lately been established, in which books and Stationery

are sold by one of our Christians.

An esteemed Christian friend has

aided us in this undertaking by ordering from Madras the first invoice

of books, English, Canarese, Hindustanee, Tamil, and Telugu. The

sale has hitherto been encouraging even beyond our expectations.

II. THE CATECHIST CLASS.

The third year of the course of preparation which

our Catechist pupils undergo, has now passed away, and

The ranks of the class have

only one year remains.

been considerably thinned, for we have had the sorrow

to be obliged to dismiss no less than three young men

in the course of one year, because they had, in vari-

ous ways, given evidence of their unfitness for the

work of evangelists.—The remaining pupils, however,

cheer us by their steady walk and by their progress

which, we hope, is solid, though by no means splendid.—

One youth of this class has, at the request of our Home

Committee, been sent to Europe in order to be farther

instructed in our Missionary College at Basle.

The pupils made an extensive preaching tour to Dharwar, and

back again by Shimoga aud Mercara, in the beginning of of 1854.

They were, on this tour, accompanied by Br. Kaundinya, who found

some interesting opportunities for preaching the word, especially at

Cumptah, Sircy, Shimoga, and Chickamoglir.

A smaller preaching tour was made at the end of September, to

the neighbouring towns Mudabidri and Kérkala.

At Kérkala, the

ruined capital of the Jains, the Gospel was listened to with great

attention.

Some of the pupils also delivered short addresses to the

heathen, and were patiently listened to.

The once great establish-

ment of the Jains is visibly decaying. At Kirkala, there are said to

have been five hundred Jain families; now there remains only one;

at Mudabidri there are still forty.—

111. THE ENGLISH SCHOOL.

This institution has been signally blessed. Many

of the difficulties which beset our path in former years,

appear to be fairly overcome. The attendance is most

encouraging, and exceeds what we had formerly con-

sidered as the highest possible number of English

Scholars that could be furnished by Ma,ngalore.

The

assistant teachers do their duty zealously and satisfactorily.

A school-fee has been introduced, (of a Quarter Rupee

per mensem) in order to bring our school within the

provisions for a Government Grant in aid—and on the

first day of payment one hundred and twenty boys

payed their fee without the least difficulty.

.

A European teacher, Mr. Richter, is expec

ted )to

arrive in September next.

A public examination of the School was held on the 15th of

September last.

The subjects of examination were: First Class:

Journies of the Apostle Paul — History of the Mohammedans in

India — Practical Surveying — Pneumatics.

Second Class: History

of the birth of Christ— Geography of Asia.— The answers obtained

were creditable and satisfactory. Mr. Anderson, the Civil and Session

Judge, who presided at the examination, concluded the proceedings

with an heart-stirring address.

Several new pupils have been admitted into Mr. Hoch's Indobriton

boarding School; so that this little branch of the English School can

likewise be said to be in a flourishing state.

The Canarese Schools in various parts of the town, (four in number)

are in a more promising state than formerly. One of them had to be

closed for some time on account of the ravages of Cholera in the

quarter in which it is located. The former masters of three of these

Schools have been replaced by young men, trained at our Canarese

and English Schools; an arrangement which promises to be very

beneficial.

Br. Weigle has been engaged in superintending the

operations of this department, and especially in carrying

through the press a Biblical Commentary which is bein

translated from German into Canarese,

(He has also

shared in the stated services both English and Canarese,

and has, together with Br. Kaundinya, preached in the

Bazar'as regularly as his health and his other duties

would permit.)

V. THE INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT.

Br. Pfleiderer has been sent out by the Home Com-

mittee to take general charge of this Establishment, and

his knowledge of mercantile affairs has already been of

great 4b‘eneﬁt not only to the Mangalore workshops, but

21

also to those at our other stations, which are likewike

placed under his control.

The watchmaking Establishment has been closed, as not suited

to the requirements and capacities of our native christians. The watch-

maker, Mr. Miiller, had been invited by our Committee to enter upon

direct Missionary work, in the first instance as an unordained assis-

tant Missionary—a position for which his competent knowledge of

Canarese would have qualified him; but he preferred to accept of a

situation under Government.

Our best wishes accompany him in his

new career.

X

In the weaving Establishment, there has been a marked progress.

Twenty-four looms are now regularly worked.

‘Workmen and

apprentices will, of course, always give trouble; but since the diligent

have found, that by steadiness they can earn a great deal more than

by desultory and indifferent work, the number of good workmen is

on the inecrease.

Four youths from other stations have already

been instructed, and will, as they return to their own stations, spread

the knowledge they have acquired. The stuffs woven on our looms

meet with a ready and remunerating sale.

Br. Haller’s health had been seriously injured by fatiguing atten-

dance on a sick apprentice; but a month’s stay on the Kudure-mukh,

the excellent Sanatarium of Mangalore, was blessed to his complete

recovery.

The past year has been one of quiet and, the Lord

be thanked, successful labor.

The congregations in the

29

various villages connected with this station have, with

one exception, been considerably augmented. Especi-

ally at Gudde there has been a great increase and there

are prospects of a yetricher harvest.—At Kadike the Lord

has vouchsafed a new blessing; two families have joined

the church and some others are in a hopeful state. At

Coditdr a new family promises to join us—and the con-

version of this family is expected to influence several

others.

In the immediate vicinity of Mulks, traces of

new life are perceptible.

At Uchila only the work has,

to the sorrow of the Missionaries, been stationary s vef

not without a hope of better days. At Beiir the heathen

give witness to the light which the Christians let shine

before men by their charitable and kind conduct. At

Kalydnpdr the word finds a ready entrance into the

hearts of many. At Kiflenjec a nice family is under in-

struction, preparatory for baptism.

During the Monsoon, Br. Biihrer has devoted part of his time to

the instruction of his Catechists.

Our new-comers have to contend

with many difficulties. The refusal of their wives and families, to join

them, is a strong temptation to backsliding, to which some, alas, have

succumbed. Others are exposed to fierce persecution; one was so

cruelly beaten by his heathen neighbours, that he was unable to work

for several weeks. Another has had his house broken into by thieves

on three successive occasions.—Cholera has committed great ravages

in our neighbourhood; the offerings by which the deluded people tried

to send the goddess of pestilence from one village to another, would

not avail. Of our congregation, we lost only one member, a boy. On

the 19th of March, four persons were baptized at Mulki: among them

the first convert from the village properly called Mulki (all the other

members of the Congregation live in hamlets around this village.)

This man, who was called Simeon, had for several years ceased to be-

lieve in the power of Bhutas and refused to offer to them.

As long

as nine years ago he had intended to confess Christ, but delayed again

and again till at last his wife died and he, too, became ill. During

his illness he said to one of the Catechists: My desire is, to die in the

name of Jesus.

Contrary to all expectation, he recovered, and had no

rest in his mind, till he had taken the decisive step. Great were the

2

3

lamentations of his children and grandchildren, but the old man was

not shaken in his determination.

He hoped that his relations would

soon join him.

But this has not yet been the case.

Another baptism

took place at Mulki on the 15th of October, when twelve persons were

admitted into the church after several months’ instruction.

Most of

them have a good knowledge of the truth; the younger members have

learnt to read, and rejoice in reading the word of God.

A remarkable case of troubled conscience has occurred.

A

member of the congregation, whose conduct was in other respects

satisfactory, had frequent quarrels with his relations. No remonstrances

would avail.

He became more and more hardened and obstinate;

till one evening, after having refused an offer of reconciliation, he

became very uneasy, could find no sleep, arose to pray in the middle

of the night, but could find no words.

He went out into the fields,

pursued by the voice of conscience—at last he threw himself down

on the ground, trembling in agony. His sins stood before the eye

of his mind like mountains; he exclaimed: I am lost; I shall now die

and have to appear before the righteous judge.

He then arose,

awakened his brothers, and told them of his anguish. He asked their

pardon for all the sins that he had committed against them. They

were greatly surprised and fried to comfort him with passages of

Seripture; but he said that the word of God, instead of comforting,

only condemned him.

The Catechist also tried in vain to comfort

him.

“These promises, he exclaimed, are not for me.” Towards

evening he was somewhat more composed, but still could find no rest

during the night.

Next morning he came to me, confessed his sins

and showed every sign of despair.

I made him repeat the words:

O Jesus, Son of the living God, have mercy upon me, a miserable

sinner! He did so, tremblingly at first, but afterwards he took courage.

He was easier during the following night, yet found but little sleep.

As he was led to think of some particular sin that he had not yet

confessed, he got up, awakened the Catechist, and confessed it to him

forthwith. From that time, however, he was most desitous to hear

the glad tidings of the Saviour and the remission of sins to be had

through him.

For a whole fortnight he was so much troubled in

his mind, as to be unable to work; but ever since he has had great

peace and walked in a very becoming manner.

At Gudde, an idol house in which the Beidériu (ancestors of the

Billavers) were worshipped, has been_deserted through the conversion

of the officiating priest. A considerable number of full length (wooden)

statues of these heroes was removed or destroyed during the night;

the rain will soon finish the work of destruction.

Many members

24

of the congregation, who had expressly prayed for the destruction of

this place of abominations, are greatly strengthened in faith by this

event.

At Gudde, twenty two persons were baptized on the 22nd of February

1854. Only two of this number are children.

The adults had been

instructed in the history and doctrine of the word of God for a con-

siderable time.

Among them was the priest to whom the above

mentioned idol-house belongs.

At Beiltr, Br. Lehmann baptized eleven people; and likewise eleven

at Kalydnptlr; among the latter was also the first convert from the

North side of the Kalydnpur river.

This man was exposed to a great

deal of persecution, which has, however, gradually subsided.

His

mother, though herself a heathen, has called him back to her house.

Gideon at Beilir frequently preaches in the Bazar of Udapi after

he has completed his day’s work. He has lost much property in

consequence of his conversion, but bears his losses with cheerfulness.

His old grandmother, a woman of singular strength of mind, had at

first been a determined enemy, but now puts the younger generation

to shame by her zeal.

On a particular spot near her village she had

frequently knelt down and prayed with her grand-daughters, that a

Missionary might yet be stationed near their village. The girls had

been unwilling to yield to the whim, as they thought, of their grandmother.

They said, they would be laughed at, if they were seen to kneel in

the fields; they would rather go to an adjoining wood. But the

grandmother was inflexible.

“Just here let us kneel down”! And

this spot, consecrated, as it were, by her prayers, now turns out to be

the very spot on which the new Station at Udapi has been founded.

UDAPL

®

Bev. C. Greier, Rev. G. Camerer.

The considerable number of villages over which the

Mulki congregation is now scattered, has rendered it

expedient, in the judgement of our home Committee,

to fix a more central spot from which the evangelisation

<

of the Northern parts of the Tulu country shall hence-

forth proceed. We have received orders to erect a large

Mission house for a married brother and for two bachelors

E

D

at Udapi, the great centre of Tulu Brahmanism, and

Br. Greiner has already taken up his abode at the new

station, and will soon be joined by Br. Camerer who

has lately arrived from Furope.

Br. Biithrer has been

ordered to take Br. Greiner’s place at Mangalore, and

will there be assisted by his old fellow-laborer, Br.

Lehmann; while Br. Deggeller, with the Orphan house,

which is much in want of a more suitable locality, will

in future occupy our Mulki station.

It is our hearts’

desire that these great changes, whose main object is,

to dispose our Missionary forces in such a manner that

they may most effectually enter the doors which the

Lord opens in so many places,—may be owned and

blessed by the great Lord of the Church.

Br. Greiner has already taken up his new post.

It was not easy

for him to bid farewell to Mangalore, the scene of his labors and

sufferings during full twenty years. Yet the new field in which he

has been called to labor, is full of promise and he has been enabled to

begin with cheerfulness.

A suitable spot has been selected for the

Mission premises, and these (including a church) are in course of

erection.

The Mission compound is very near to the town of Udapi,

yet sufficently removed from the noise and abominations of the idol-

worship. After the piece of ground had been granted to the Mission

by the authorities, the leading Brahmans of the place protested against

the settlement of the Padres.

But they were too late.

The excite-

ment of the heathen was great, but they only injured themselves by

their impotent rage; for under an erroneous impression, that a certain

piece of woodland in the vicinity of the Mission compound would also

be granted to the Missionaries, they united to cut down in a single

night dll the trees, whose decaying branches had, from time immemorial,

furnished firewood to the surrounding hamlets.

Thus a footing is established in the vicinity of this stronghold

of Satan. May it soon be our happy task to report that a large and

practicable breach has been made in the fortress!

Mrs. Ammann has returned from the Neilgherry

Br. Ammann went up to the Hills before

the rains, to bring Mrs. Ammann back; and on the re-

occasion, the Bishop congratulated them on their un-

reserved abandonment of Caste, and strongly exposed the

folly and wickedness of keepmg up Caste-distinctions

among Christians.—We rejoice in this testimony from

the head of a sister church, which, we are informed, has

not failed to make a deep impression on the Claste-

AR

Christians.

Br. Ammann has given much of his time to itineracy; partly from

a conviction that this branch of missionary work deserves greater at-

27

tention than it has hitherto received, and partly because this kind of

work is most conducive to his precarious health. In February of last

year he visited Shimoga, and preached very frequently, on the road as

well as during his stay at Shimoga.

There are some young men who

evidently long for salvation; especially one, who has heard the truth

from Br. Wiirth, and who seems to have serious thoughts of confessing

Christ before men. On the return journey Br. Ammann had the joy

to see that not all the seed which he had cast abroad, had fallen by

the way side.—At Sircy, which he has visited several times, he found

many attentive hearers in the Bazar.

A journey in a Southerly direc-

tion, as far as Mulki, was undertaken during the break of the Monstin.

On this oecasion Br. Ammann felt it a privilege to be enabled to preach

to the Christians at or near Mulki, many of whom are his own spiri-

tual children.—In August and September shorter tours to the South

were undertaken, when the people of the indigenous caste (Nédavas,

Bantas, Billavas) were found very accessible.

Also the Brahmans,

and especially the Mussulmen, were found remarkably open to the

preaching of the word, during a weeks’ stay at Murudéshvara. There

was a great demand for books.

The month of October Br. Ammann

spent at Siddhaplr, above the Ghéts, in great bodily weakness, yet

constantly visited by attentive and earnest enquirers.

Bazar preaching at Honore has been carried on with as much re-

gularity as was possible; but these and other tours (the great heathen

festival at Gékarna was also visited) have caused many interruptions.

The School at Karike in the neighbourhood of Honore is going

on tolerably well; the visits paid to it are good opportunities for

preaching. The Schoolmaster is a serious enquirer, but throws obstacles

into his own way by a perverse desire to amalgamate the Christian

truth with his Shdstras. He would like, for instance, to exchange the

name “Jesus” for some other fine Sansecrit name.

A sad proof of the

enmity of the old man!

A school in the Honore Bazar eontinues to be supported by the

liberality of a Christian friend. At a late examination, the boys showed

a very fair acquaintance with biblical history.

The past year has been a very trying one; yet the

Lord always graciously vouchsafes strength as our days

are.

A great fire which consumed many of the native

huts in the neighbourhood (on the 9th March 1854) also

reached our compound—and destroyed the school and

other buildings.

The greater part of the Mission pre-

mises were saved, by a favorable change of the wind at

Cholera, has been very prevalent in several of the con-

solution of the difficult problem of providing useful and

remunerative labor for the enquirers and also for those

native Christians who are dependent on the Mission for

their subsistence; and several workshops have been

erected on a plan similar to that pursued at Mangalore;

—some who would not work, have been told that %nei-

ther should they eat”, and in this manner a weeding of

the native Congregation has been effected.—Br. Hebich

has made several extensive tours, during which he had

abundant opportunities of preaching the word of God to

Europeans as well as natives.

The girly’ school at

Chiracal now numbers 61 boarders, many of whom are

still very young. In some, we hope, a work of grace

1s going on.—The congregation at Anjercandy is dis-

tressingly poor, and exposed to many peculiar tempta-

tions.

The prayers of all Brethren are requested in

particular for this church.

The connection of J. Searle with our Mission has been dissolved.

After having been engaged in 1846, and, since that time, employed

on the same terms as a Native Catechist, he by and bye changed his

!

mind from his original engagement, and therefore the Brethren thought

it better that he should leave the Mission and seek some secular

employment.

From the 4th of April to the 23rd of June last year, Br. Hebich

made a tour to Malapuram, Palghat, the Hills, Bangalore and the

French Rocks.

On the 6th of August he had the happiness to baptize

a season of great trials.

Two members of the Mission also were attacked (Br. Diez and Mrs,

Gundert); but the Lord blessed the means for their restoration, while

at the French Rocks, at Chiracal and Cannanore several Church mem-

bers were suddenly called away. A young woman, the wife of a Cate-

chist, died in peace, wishing in her last hours, that on her grave the

Hymn «All is well” should be sung. Also Philippina the wife of

Silas, was glad to go to her heavenly home.

left to give evidence of their faith.

From the 20th of September to the 1st of November Br. Hebich was

(2]

i

again on a journey, accompanied as before by the Catechist Joseph.

He conducted daily services at Palghat, in English and Tamil, and had

goodly congregations in both these services.

The native congregation

of Palghat fluctuates much in number, most of its members being natives

of other places.—Also among the heathen at and around Palghat the

word was freely preached; we travelled from village to village, sound-

ing forth the message of the cross.

The Lord gave us much joy and

peace, and we have reason to believe that this preaching season has been

blessed to many. A beginning has been made of selling tracts. After

some failures, we at last found a good number of willing purchasers

in the market places.—The great heathen festivals at Taliparambu

and Payawlr were visited as usual.

The visitors (in 1854) were

fewer than usual, because the rice and pepper harvest had been scanty.

Our attempts to sell books were met with ridicule.

% Oh, the Padre

has turned shop keeper!” was the cry. Yet a Brahman, who seemed

interested in our books, bought several.—A good impression seems to

Rémotti, an intelligent Tier, had obtained a copy of the ten Com-

mandments seventeen years ago, before a Missionary was stationed at

a Christian.

Cannanore. Then already he had some passing thoughts of becoming

Even as a boy he was greatly interested in the first man

of his caste who had become a Christian.

This was an officer of a

local corps that had been raised during the war with the Cotiote

Réjah.—This officer had gained great reputation by his bravery, so

that he was looked upon as an ornament of his caste.

After he had

been pensioned, he had gained the friendship of a pious draftsman in

the Engineer’s establishment, and had, through this man, been persta-

ded of the truth of the Christian religion. He did not break his caste,

but kept himself pure from all idolatrous practices and used frequently

to retire to a private room for worship. The old man died and was

buried with military honors; his wife survived him, remaining a

heathen ; but his younger brother was baptized and died a short time

after him. All this happened more than twenty years ago. When

Missionaries came to the Northern part of the Malaydlam country,

Rdmotti visited the Mission Schools and became thoroughly acquainted

with all Missionary publications.

On account of his great ability he

soon found employment as a Moonshee.

While thus employed, he

continued to visit the Missionaries.

He vainly tried to reconcile the

contradictory statements of the heathen Shdstras by means of a pan-

theistic philosophy; for he could never quite shake off the sense of

sin. He enquired, searched, doubted; the meaning of the heathenish

32

sacrifice oceupied him for a long time. By meditating on these things

he was led to believe the sinfulness of man, the necessity of a future

judgment, and the existence of an atonement.

Yet a long progress of

growth in grace was needed before he felt enabled to take upon him-

self the shame of the followers of the cross—to forsake his wife and

two children, and to lay hold on Jesus as his only treasure.

The

day on which he made up his mind to do this, was the 13th of June

1854.

His conversion produced a great sensation among the

people of his caste.

Great numbers of them came to converse, to re-

monstrate, to argue, to hear the word.—He was followed in his renun-

ciation of idolatry by a nephew Cunyambu, and by an elderly female

relation of his, who had long been instructed by him and his nephew

before they had taken the decisive step themselves.—The commotion

among the Tiers was renewed when Ramotti (Abraham) was baptized,

and to a still greater extent when (in November last) he began regu-

larly to preach in the Bazars.

To qualify him more fully for the

office of a Catechist, he is regularly instructed in the word of God and

makes very satisfactory progress.

At Chiracal, on the 6th of January a poor woman died, after a

long illness, of a loathsome disease.

She was patient to the end and

comforted herself by the hope of everlasting life in Christ Jesus.

Her

only joy during her last days, when she was literally being devoured

by worms, was, to get some one to read to her the word of God, or to

hear the girls singing a hymn before the door of her cottage.

She

frequently sighed, %Come, Lord Jesu!” and at last departed in peace.

The Orphan house is going on as usual. Twelve

boarders have left the institution, and the same number

has been admitted.

Br. Miiller conducted a class of

Christian instruction preparatory to Confirmation, and

had the happiness to see traces of the working of the

Holy Spirit in the hearts of several boys.

After School

hours the boys are employed in manual labor, chiefly

in making ropes and mats from the cocoanut-fibre.—The

Heathen Schools are prospering. A beginning has been

made of selling tracts aud books to the Natives; and

the trial has been encouraging.

A preaching room and

Schoolroom has been erected, with the assistance of

Christian friends, at the entrance of the Tellicherry

Bazar, and Br. Irion has regularly preached twice a

week to an audience of, on an average, about seventy

¥

hearers.

The oldest member of our congregation, Noah, (who is mentioned

in former reports) has at last fallen asleep in Jesus in his 106th year.

Towards the end of his life he almost lost his hearing; to the last, he

did not suffer from any disease, but only from weakness and cold.—

A day before his death, the Missionary saw him for the last time.

He was reclining on a mat, warming himself near the fire.

Kambaya renewed his efforts at persuading hiswife, but to no purpose.

At last he said: well, then, you stay at home and do as you please;

keep your property. But let me take Ponnappa with me and join

Had Puakka allowed herself to be led by her husband, who knows

but Kambaya might be alive now and a member of the new Coorg

Church. May the Lord have had mercy upon him! But who would

have thought, that Kambaya’s death would be the salvation of his

wife and step-son. Yetso it was; some time after the decease of

Kambaya the Coorg Panchayet decreed, that Monnaya the only re-

maining brother of Kambaya and Puaya, Ponnapya’s father, though

married to Puakka’s own elder sister, and separated, since thirty years,

from his father’s house, (having joined his wife’s family), should now

become Puakka’s husband, and the step-father of his nephew. Puakka

was miserable; she dreaded, that her darling boy would be roughly

treated, yea, fare worse.

But what could the poor woman do.

The

whole world (i. e. her little Coorg-world) was against her.

She her-

self was seized with fever, her brother-in-law commanded in the house,

her dear boy had to bear harsh language.

In this perplexity a thought

of despair shot across her mind: If I run with my boy to the Padre,

and if we become Christians, we shall be safe.

Ponnappa will become

a learned and happy man.”

She spoke secretly with the boy, who

remembered, what his father Kambaya had spoken last year, and

joyfully agreed. One morning they left the house together, to go to.

Beppunddu; but when they had gone a little distance, Puakka lost her

courage; she could not give up everything, and go among strangers.

They returned. After a few days, however Monnaya came again to

the house, forced the fever-stricken woman to load rice, and abused

the boy;—and now the final resolution was taken.

I turned and asked: ¢ whither so late?” They replied: to Beppunddu.

her little store of rupees, and she could work. The first appearance

of these two refugees from heathenism pleased me much. The evident

mutual affection of mother and son, their straightforward and unem-

barrassed manner, their alacrity in putting their words into practice

(the boy’s juttu quickly disappeared without a word from me)—every-

thing prepossessed me in their favor, and now, after a further acquaint-

ance of several weeks, I see no reason to change my opinion of them.

hear the word of God daily, and begin to understand it, and to feel its

power.

It is a great joy to teach such people, perfectly ignorant of

course, but predisposed to receive the word of God reverentially, and

their faces lit up now and then with the brightness of joy, as they hear

of the riches of God’s love to sinful men.

May the Lord give unto

them His holy Spirit and make them His own! Is not this a good

and gracious beginning for the new Church, a first gift to the new

house from Him, who is the giver of all!

Puakka was surprised and glad, of course, when she learned from

me and Stephanas, that she need not lose all her property. The little

family property will be divided between her son and her brother-in-

law.

A fortnight ago I had another new arrival which gave me great

L &

joy. But to make things clear, I must go back to the beginning of

this year.

In the end of January a poor woman, badly dressed and

looking very miserable, came to Almanda house, and begged Salome,

years like a slave in her mother’s house, having been cast off by her

husband on a charge of adultery.

% My parents,” she said, did not

permit me to enter their house, but made me live outside, and work

with the slaves.

Since a year I have thought of seeking refuge with

you, for I am sure, you will treat me more kindly than my own people.

Salome and

I will gladly work like a slave, if you receive me.”

Stephanas asked me what they ought to do.

I said, that if they were

inclined to ‘receive such a poor woman, I had of course no objection,

but I thought it would be wise, to send such a person away to some

distant Mission-station, rather than keep her in a neighbourhood, where

every body would talk about her and her reception at Almanda. I

begged them therefore to tell Shiauwa, that she might stay, if she was

willing after a time to go to Cannanore or Mangalore.

She replied:

4Tl go anywhere, and do any thing, only receive me.”

Thus she

was received. For some time the poor woman looked at church and

at prayers more like a wooden figure, than like a living body. But

gradually she thawed into life and intelligence, she began to repeat

43

»

the Lord’s prayer, and to understand the reading and expounding of

the Scriptures.

Salome gave her an excellent character.

She had

”

never seen a person work harder than Shiauwa.

“It is a pity,

she

said once to me, “that Shiauwa cannot stay here.

I would gladly

have her for ever in my house.

But you are right, she must go.

At

Mangalore she may be baptized after a time, and afterwards, she

added, I hope, she may find a husband there, for she is only 24 years

old, and will make a good wife now, I am sure.”

In April; you

remember, I went to Mangalore to deliver my little Coorg son by

adoption, Gabriel, to my sister, Mrs. Weigle who, with her husband,

had with much love agreed to take charge of the little fellow for some

time and bring him up with their own two boys.

On that occasion T

asked Gabriel’s sisters, Mary and Martha, to accompany their brother,

and thus there was a good opportunity for Shiauwa to emigrate to the

Coast.

She took care of the children on the journey. At Mangalore

Mrs. Greiner kindly took charge of her, and employed her as servant

in the girl’s boarding school.

Also at Mangalore she bore a good

character, and after some time, I trusted, she would be baptized. But

what to do for her afterwards? Was she to live single for ever?

Being turned away by her busband lawfully, as she herself acknow-

>

ledged, had she a right to marry again? Was there no possibility of

reconciliation ?

It was a difficult case.

The solution came most

unexpectedly. A fortnight ago Stephanas brought a Coorg man to

me, who introduced himself as Bopu, of the Biddanda family at Kadi-

yettinddu, the husband of Shiauwa.

He told me, that he came to

seek his wife.

“I was in the Malaydlam,” he said, “two years ago,

when two of the women in our house, who hated both me and my

wife, contrived to disgracé her.

My poor wife at once acknowledged

the charge, and was turned out of the house and caste, because the

man who had seduced her, was a Péle (a caste below the Coorgs).

I could do nothing for her.

But I know, she has been ruined by a

scheme of enemies. I forgive her, and have come to join her. I know,

that I lose caste and everything by receiving her as my wife; but I

prefer her to my family and my caste.”

I told him his wife was at

Mangalore and would be baptized soon, I hoped. He answered, «If

my wife becomes a Christian, I shall follow her example”. I told him,

that I heartily wished he would act upon these professions, and ad-

vised him to go to Mangalore forthwith.

He said, 4I shall go

<

to-morrow morning, if you give me a certificate, that you send me,

which I may show there.

For the sooner I go the better, otherwise

my relatives will find me out and hinder me from going.”

The man

was as good as his word; on the following morning he started for

May God

‘be gracious to these poor souls and gather them into the fold of the

I could add to this report a few more interesting particulars which

I have communicated to you privately, but fear lest the birds carry

my news to the wrong ears

Safely, however, I may say, that I hope

the gospel will have great success among the Coorgs

How soon

greater progress may be made, it is not for me to know 'or to'say, but

my heart’s desire is, that Christ's name may be greatly and speedily

glorified among this people, and in all India

To return to the account of my buildings, with which I have com=-

menced: the Church, a neat structure, 40 ft. by 22 with walls 14 high

above the foundation, and of two feet thickness, stands in the céntre

of the level, which crowns the slope of cleared jungle ground, on which

I have settled, and is situated due north. At a short distance a neigh-

bour’s jungle nearly intercepts the view northward. Towards the east

the road from Mercara to Virarajendrapett passes and almost touches

the Mission ground. Towards the south we see the Perambédi hills

Towards the west there is a magnificent view across some low hills,

bordering rice valleys, of the Western range of the Ghats, from Peram-

badi to Talakaveri

The mountains rise to a height of little less than

ol &3

6000 feet above the sea, and carry the fancy of the spectator along

their green slopes and wooded glens up into the blue heavens whose

clouds and sunshines ever play around their majestic brows

In aline twenty feet behind the Church, (to the Southwest and

Southeast) my own house and its match, in which the Catechist’

lodgings, the kitchen and the godown are placed, stand at a distance

of about forty feet from each other.

Thesé houses are also 22 feet

broad and about 40 feet long. The church has three high narrow

windows on the eastern and western walls, and corresponding doors

on the north and south sides

Narrow verandas, edged with ‘green

turf, run round the buildings

Every thing looks to me most pleasant

Others perhaps may not find Almanda so very lovely a place

Yet T

am delighted with it, ‘and thantk God for this tabernacle in the wilder-

ness, and trust that it will be made the very gate of heaven to many

a forlorn 'and wayworn soul

But I must not forget to express my

gratitude to the kind and liberal friends, who have so steadily support-

ed the new Mission, though I have not teased them much, I trust, with

"

begging. Since the beginning of September 1853, I have spent upon

the Almanda buildings, including the cutting down of the jungle, few

rupees less than Rs. 1,700. = The rest of the expenditure of the Coorg

Mission during nine months has amounted to upwards of 1,200

45

L

Rupees; yet I have received all T wanted, when it was wanted. Thé

whole of the Coorg Mission account, receipts and disbursements; will

appear in the next report of the German Evangelical Mission.

This leads me to the communication of another piece of good news,

that by the good pleasure of the Lord, I trust, my connexion with the

Basle Mission has been restored. Our Committee have given me the

choice of returning at once under the general rules and regulations of

their Indian Missions, or of conducting the Coorg Mission for the pre-

sent as a kind of non-regulation branch of the Mission corresponding

directly with the Home Committee, and supporting the Mission by

special contributions for Coorg, without being connected with the con=

ferences of the older stations, or the general Indian treasury. I have

chosen the latter alternative joyfully and gratefully. A new Mission

seldom thrives well under regulations unadapted to its own peculiar

circumstances and requirements, and 1 have courage enough to trust

in the continuance of such a measure of contributions as may be neces-

sary for the unembarrassed prosecution of the work.

Though considerably impeded by the superintendence of the

building-work — and building is a peculiarly tedious business in

Coorg—yet I have been enabled to travel all over Coorg, and to

MK

preach in all its quarters during the past year.

I have visited the

great places of Coorg pilgrimage, at Talakdveri and Subrahmanya,

during the season of the annual festivals. ‘At Mercara and Virarajens

drapett I have preached almost on every weekly market-day sinee

last new year’s day, i. e. once a week at Mercara, twice a week at

. Virarajendrapett.

I have generally had good audiences, Sometimes

many and very attentive hearers.

The Lord has enabled me to do

the work of an Evangelist among the Coorgs joyfully, with few excep=

tions, and hopefully; and I believe, that the number of those peopleé

who are now and then visited by thoughts of a change, is not small

To-day I learnt the untimely end of a poor man of Nalkandda, who

had been with me several times, and talked of joining the Mission:

He was too proud to give up his caste.

Yet he returned again and

again, perhaps under some presentiment of his fate.

He fell sick soon after.

‘While he lay helpless on his bed, his elder brother murdered him 'a

few days ago.

Poor soul! Had he trusted in Christ, he would now

be alive and safe.

May the Lord have had merey upon him! Next

season I hope to lay myself out much more in public preaching, and

in trairelling through the length and breadth of the province. My

46

héalth, God be thanked, has much improved. In fact, I have ceased

to consider myself an invalid at all.

Abundance of exercise in the

open air, and in the open air of Coorg, is one of the best medicines.

I have not ridden less than two thousand miles last year, on a mode-

rate computation, and hope to travel yet more diligently during the

next fair season, if the Lord give me health and strength.

I conclude

with the hearty wish and prayer, that the Lord may abundantly bless

all the dear Brethren and Friends, who have so nobly assisted a new

Mission, commenced eighteen months ago, with no other letter of credit,

but the firm persuasion, that Christian love would not let a Mission-

ary’s faith be disappointed, and the prayer that all our supplications

for the salvation of Coorg may be graciously heard and mercifully

uanswer(‘ada to the glory of Iis name, whose we are and whom we serve.

H. MorgLING.

This report is continued up to the present date

(April 1855) in the following communication from Br.

Meegling.

A few weeks after the publication of the last Report in the pages

of the M. Chr. Herald, I left the little congregation at Almanda in

charge of the Catechist, and repaired to Bangalore, whither Stephanas

and little Samuel, who had never been out of Coorg, accompanied me.

I purposed to apply to Lieut. General M. Cubbon, the Commissioner

of Mysore and Coorg, for Government support in behalf of English

and Vernacular schools, to be established in connection with the Mis-

sion among the Coorgs.

My application was received with great

kindness, and I have every reason to hope, that this country, after

having been neglected for a while, will receive its full share of the

bounty of an enlightened and noble government, now happily bent on

the fulfilment of its high duties to this great country.

‘When I started for Bangalore in the pleasant and profitable com-

pany of Mr. E. Porter, one of the most successful of South India

Missionaries, who had paid me a flying visit,—I took with me two

Manuscripts which I wished to get printed at the Wesleyan Mission Press

viz. my articles on Coorg, published in the M. Chr. Herald, with some

additional sheets, which I hoped to complete from documents obtain-

able only at Bangalore, and a revised translation of the first half of

Paley’s Hora Paulinz.

I calculated on a stay of some six or seven

weeks at Bangalore.

But my calculations were completely nullified.

I found, that, if these two little books were to be printed, I had to

|

|

_—

47

carry them through the press myself. After careful consideration I

resolved on doing so, thus lengthening my stay to three, perhaps four

months.

When the first sheet of Paley was in the press, I was per-

suaded by an old and faithful friend of Indian Missions to revise and

print the whole of the Horz Paulinz, and to extend the translation

also to the valuable annotations of Birk. I labored as hard as I could,

and was enabled to complete the two books.

With the exception of

a short visit to Madras and some Bible Revision work, necessary in

order to absolve the Manuscripts of the new translation of the Psalms,

Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes, all my time from the end of August to the

end of January was taken up by these publications. Still I considered

that I was in the path of duty, though kept at a distance from my

large parish. The Coorg Memoirs will, it is hoped, serve the interests

of the Coorg Mission in various ways, and the printing of the transla-

tion of Paley’s Hora Paulinz, which is to pass into Telugu and Tamil

also, may assist many a Bible student among the young men of South-

ern India in the study and full comprehension of one of the masterpieces

of English Theological Science.

On the third of February I returned at last to Almanda, whither

Stephanas and Samuel, who had commenced to learn English at

pl 1§

Bangalore, had preceded me in November.

I began preaching at the

markets of Virarajendrapett and Mercara as formerly without interrup-

tion, except during a fortnight’s journey to the coast, where I wished

to see my little Coorg boy, Gabriel, and whence I had to bring home

Bopu and Shiauwa, now Thomas and Dorothea, who had been baptized

by Mr. Greiner on the 11th of February.—My preaching is received

with more attention, I often think, than last year, and generally the

listeners behave well, but it will take a long time yet before the pur-

port of these weekly speeches is really understood. I have still very

frequently to correct the strangest misconceptions.

An English school has been commenced at Mercara, pending the

sanction of the Supreme Government which has the administration of

Coorg.

Forty boys attend the school regularly.

A considerable

number will come in when the school will be fully established. One

or two Vernacular schools may be added before the Monsoon.

The Coorg Mission has entered on its third year, which will be

the year of schools. May the blessing of God rest upon this new

agency. May the ploughs of the schools and the diligent sowing of

the word and gracious showers from on high work together to clothe

the long fallow field with a rich harvest.

The subjoined account will show, that the Coorg Mission is

considerably in debt. However, a few friends may easily bring the

balance back to the right side of the book without distressing them-

During the past year the Lord has called to their

illness which had first resembled an attack of Cholera (then raging at

had been an invalid almost from his childhood; and yet we all were

al

painfully surprised when we heard that it had pleased the Lord to call

him hence.

Br. Biihler had spent his early days under the roof

of his father whom he assisted in the care of a large farm. "While there,

he had had the privilege of familiar intercourse with the pious minister

of his native place, who has since himself sent a son as a Missionary

to China

Through this Minister our brother first became acquainted

with the Missionary cause

He was received as a pupil in the Basle

Missionary College in 1835. Although his studies, while there, were

frequently interrupted by illness, yet his progress was such, that on the

completion of his course the Committee resolved to keep him at home

as a teacher in the institution, until his health should be more firmly

;\%

established. He accordingly spent some time at a Geerman University,

engaged principally in the study of the Arabic, Persian, and Sanscrit

languages, and then returned to Basle, where he rendered valuable

services as a tutor

His principal study, and therefore also the subject

of his most valuable lessons, was the Qld Testament in the original

é

Mean-

Hebrew tongue, with which he had acquired a rare familiarity

while, in 1846, our Society established a station on the Nilagiri Hills;

&

and it was at once resolved to send Br. Biihler to this station where, it

i

49

1=

was thought, he had a better chance of keeping his health than in the

hot climate of the plains of India.

Br. Biihler arrived in the beginning

)

of 1847, and forthwith applied himself with great zeal and success to

i

the study of the Canarese and Badaga languages.

Even before he

had mastered these languages, his mature christian experience and

or

il

his familiar knowledge of the word of God made him a very valu-

able assistant to his fellow-laborers, and enabled him, through the

1,

4

medium of the English language, to do a good deal of Missionary work.

After he had overcome the difficulties of language, he gave himself

wholly to the calling which had long been so dear to him. His health,

though always precarious, was frequently better than he had ventured

to hope.

The year 1849 was almost wholly spent in the low country,

first at Mysore, where he perfected his knowledge of Canarese, and at

the same ‘time aided in the revision of the Canarese Version of the Old

Testament, and then at Mangalore where, while awaiting the arrival of his

bride elect, he assisted in the instruction of the Catechist Class for eight

or nine months. At last, in January 1850, he returned to the hills with

I

his bride.

Scarcely, however, had he arrived, when he was stretched

on a bed of sickness so severe, that for many days his life was despaired

of.

By degrees he recovered, to labor a few years more in the Lord’s

an

at

vineyard. What fruits his earnest and affectionate appeals may have

borne in the hearts of his hearers, that day must reveal. But his friends

e

and fellow-laborers will never forget him.—His last days were replete

with intense suffering; yet he was enabled to assure his friends, that

“the God of Israel” was near him.—His death was the first that oceurred

f

&

in our circle since the month of May 1845.

But we were yet called to mourn at other graves.

In October last,

we had to commit to the ground, at Mangalore, the earthly remains

ed

of a beloved boy, seven years of age, who had greatly delighted his

parents and their friends by his early acquaintance with his Savior,

sle

16

and by his extensive knowledge of hymns and scriptural passages. Had

he lived but a few weeks longer, he would have gone home with the

heavenly father saw fit to call him to a better home by a shorter road.

While the sorrow on account of this loss was still fresh in our

Greiner, who expired from sheer weakness on the 23rd of November,

perfectly well from that time; and especially the last years of her life

were years of great weakness and suffering. Yet she continued to

work amidst much bodily weakness till, about a month before her death,

she was confined to her couch. But, although she had been weak and

suffering for so long a time, there was no reason to anticipate her

immediate departure; she herself, though she had often viewed death

prospects.

oL

The Basle Society has entered its 40th year: its

th

1y

birth coinciding with the beginning of the great Europe-

an peace (1815), during the continuance of which it has

grown to its present dimensions.

In no sense can it

claim to be called a great Mission, its resources never

having exceeded a tithe of the income of the great Soci-

eties.

The income of the Society in 1846 was

succeeding years, but after the return home of our de-

sympathy.

With this sum the climax of our Society’s means

seems attained. The outlay had even in the most pros-

l

f

perous years exceeded the income by L. 500 or 600,

so that independently of other causes, a contraction of

b

operations had become a duty. But it would seem that

all the Christian enterprises of the past generation have

now to undergo a time of trial.

And so have we.

The

Protestants of Russia, formerly most liberal contributors

especially to our Indian Mission, have not been able to

i

do much of late: the warmhearted German Colonists of

dl

the South, scattered from Bessarabia to Georgia, have

Germany itself, impoverished especially in the Southern

provinces by the revolutions of 1848 and 1849 and by

i

a succession of famine years, and distracted by the incess-

Ch

ant rumors of war, is in a state of distress the like of

st

which has not been experienced within the recollection

Ch

of any living man; and it is not to be wondered that in

Wy

such times the sources from which charitable institutions

fany

draw their subsistence, should be more or less dried up.

0

Accordingly there has been a great falling off in

Jos

donations throughout Germany; from July 1854 the

income of the Society decreased to an alarming extent,

()f \

and some voices declared its very existence endangered

ﬁm

by the prospect of a general war. At the end of the

Gl

year an extraordinary effort was made by the richer

Ieg

members of the Committee in connexion with a few

the

There 1s some

ang

hope of an indemnity being obtained for our losses from

It

the Government of the Colony; still the Committee will

have to bear a considerable outlay for the re-establish-

ment of that Mission; would that we could, therefore,

manage to press the less heavily on them!

But, alas, we find it impossible to reduce our expen-

diture much farther without crippling the efficiency of

our Missions; and we, too, have had unforeseen expences

b5

and losses;—especially the burning down of the out-

houses of our Cannanore Station, a misfortune which

has now occured for the second time within the year,

will entail a severe expence on our Committee.

We are convinced that most of our friends and sup-

porters do what they can, and some even exert them-

selves beyond their power.

It does not therefore seem

right unto wus, at a time when most other Christian

undertakings are suffering the like straits, to ask these

But we

friends for greater exertions in our behalf.

think it possible, that some who have not hitherto given

much for Missions, might at this time be stirred up to

consider with greater attention the claims which the work

of the Lord has upon them; and we accordingly would

request our friends, to see how they may increase not so

much the amount of their own contributions, as the num-

ber of those who count it a more blessed thing to give

than to receive.

As for us, we hope to have grace given to us to re-

joice in our holy office of beseeching the world in Christs’

stead to be reconciled with God, even if greater trials

and heavier cares than hitherto should be connected with

1t

The Lord will provide!
