RERORT.

In reviewing the experiences of the last twelvemonth,

compared with those of the previous year, we are con-

strained to acknowledge, that in the absence of any

striking events, we yet have enjoyed many rich blessings,

and that the manifestations of healing grace have been

fully as abundant as those of chastening discipline. It

is of the Liord’s merecies that we are not consumed: be-

cause his compassions fail not, but are new every mor-

ning. The statements subjoined, relating the chequered

occurrences at each station, will be found to illustrate

this precious truth; and if we cannot tell of brilliant

achievements, we are fully satisfied that we have been

permitted to pursue our work, to proclaim the glorious

message of Salvation, and we feel that the Lord must

do the rest.

His word shall not return to him void.

After long and faithful services in the Tulu Mission

our Br. and Sister Biihrer left us, with nine children in

their charge (18th January 1857) in order to seek in

Europe the restoration of their failing health. We hope

to see them return with new strength to their field of

labor, which stands particularly in need of tried work-

mern.

We have received valuable reinforcements: first

1%

in October 1856 by the arrival of the Brethfen Hand-

rich, Hauser and Strobel, with Miss Lang (now Mrs.

Deggeller); and again in January 1857 by the landing

of the Brn. Bosshard, Herre, Hunziker, Keuler and

Laufer.

Still we do not feel strong enough to reoccupy

the outpost Shemoga, abandoned last year.

Even at

Honore our operations are suspended, in eompliance

with orders received from our Home Committee.

We

have now many young laborers new in the field; and

may the Lord soon enable them to take the place of

their predecessors and quit themselves like men.

In Sept. a dear native brother, J. C. Ramavarma,

was set apart for the Ministry. It was the first ordi-

nation performed in this Mission aceording to the rites

of the German Evangelical Church. We were warranted

by our Br’s. former services as a Catechist in forming

Bl

great expectations of his usefulness among his Malaya-

lam countrymen, but before many months elapsed, the

Lord saw fit to take him to Himself. May the example

of Ramavarma’s humble, selfdenying walk not be lost

upon his fellowlaborers.

The new impulse, given to education by the late

measures of Government, has stimulated us to new ex-

ertions. We have established new schools, and strength-

ened and enlarged our older institutions.

Grants in

ald have been applied for and obtained. The prepara-

tion of suitable school books has been much at our heart,

and has occupied part of our time. We have even,

5

upon the wish of our Committee, considered the advi-

sability of further diminishing the number of available

e 3

laborers, by giving up one of them to the service of

Government, for the purpose of helping on the cause of

Education inthese provinces. Some conscientious friends

have taken exception at this step, seeing that the Bible

is still not taught in Glovernment schools, and that the

difference of the objects pursued by their Educational

Department, and by us as Missionaries remains palpable

enough. To these and other objections we do not shut

our eyes. They influence us to move cautiously in these

matters, and to consider even whilst advancing the pos-

But whilst we honor the

sible necessity of a retreat.

different views of our friends, we would ask them to

bear with us, if from early associations we feel some-

what prepossessed in favor of Government Education,

and are inclined to make allowances for their difficulties.

We confess that we earnestly deprecate a premature and

indiseriminate withdrawal of zealous Christians from a

cause so essential to the emancipation of India from its

ancient thraldom. May the Lord also in this moment-

ous question make our way plain before us!

The increase in Church members has been very slight

ey

during this year.

Many cases have occurred in which

discipline had to be exercised, and we have become

stricter in readmitting such as have brought dishonor

on the name of Christ, as well as in examining the

motives of those that present themselves as inquirers

6

and Candidates for baptism. We have to fight With

many an old leaven and meet occasionally with tough

resistance; especially in the Tulu Stations, wheie even

Catechists shewed themselves weary of our continual

superintendence and interference.

In one or two places

the Christians seem to imagine, that to have the rule

over them is a peculiarly sweet privilege, and that they

must needs assert their spiritual independence. Yet have

they shrunk from choosing the alternative we proposed

to them, of electing and maintaining their own teachers.

Any how we see that new struggles are in store for the

Churches growing up around us: and we would look

for a fresh supply of strength and wisdom to Him who

changeth not, Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and

today and for ever!

I. THE CONGREGATION.

Br. Bithrer, who had spent the hot season at Mercara,

returned towards the end of May to take charge of the

Native Congregation, jointly with Br. Kaundinya. After

careful instruction of the ignorant part of the Congrega-

tion, they were enabled to add several to the number

of Communicants.

Others who were hardened in their

sins without evincing signs of repentance, had to be ex-

cluded, some to the extent of breaking off all connexion

with them.

One of these, a retired shopkeeper and secret gambler who had

despised all warnings, was suddenly taken away in his sins, an event

which, happening as it did immediately after his expulsion, seemed

to strike even the careless with salutary fear.

On the whole we find that, whilst many a hardened

soul remains careless and unimpressed, the word comes

8

home with saving power to some of the younger mem-

bers amongst whom have occurred cases of decided

conversion.

One Sunday a youth was overcome by the word preached: he found

no rest until he had confessed the sins that alarmed him to a Brother,

who helped him to believe and hold fast the full pardon in the

blood of Christ. His family had been divided against itself, but

the new life of one member became a power that healed the breach

and led also others to seek with new zeal the things that pertain to

their peace.

One family felt inwardly moved, to confess sins of witcheraft committed

for the purpose of counteracting sickness. When the case was investigated,

others came forward and showed their deeds.

It was discovered, that many

had occasionally resorted to very questionable remedies, whilst others made a

conscience of practices we felt some hesitation in condemning altogether. The

healing art, as practised at present among natives, particularly of the lower

Oh that the prayer of faith were substi-

tuted for nine tenths of the remedies tried!

classes, remains an intricate subject.

Our Catechist Elieser has been laid up for months, but is happily

enabled to glorify his Lord in the severe test to which his faith and

patience are put. May he come out of the furnace a vessel sanctified

for the master’s use!

Only three adults have been added to the Church by

!

baptism. May they be kept by the power of God through

faith unto salvation!

II. THE SCHOOLS.

The Grrs' InstrTuTion, superintended by Mrs. Hoch

and Miss Will, contains at present 45 boarders and 12

dayscholars.

Only a few of these could be admitted

to the Lord’s Supper.

Most of the elder girls are difficult of access, talkative among them-

selves, silent before their téachers.

They have however exhibited

increasing diligence in their studies and tasks of work.

It is the

Spirit only that can open their hearts to the good Shepherd. English

has been taught to the most advanced, they appear to like it and some

The school building has undergone alterations which appear to

have improved the state of health, only one death having occurred

in this year, and that in a child weakened by inveterate disease.

The ParocmraL BoyscHOOL is in a prosperous condition.

The parents have been gained to send the children more

regularly, than most natives can be induced to do.

All

Christian children visit now the school from the 6th to

the 14th year of age.

The most talented (at present

five) are made over to the English school.

The Carecmist Crass consists of only seven youths,

who are instructed in the Scriptures and Systematic

Theology, besides attending in the English school the

lessons that are deemed necessary for them.

duct.

One youth had to be dismissed from the school for gross miscon-

Another left it, tired of learning, wherein, on account of his

advanced age, he made little progress, and afraid also of the task of

preaching which the nearer it came, the less it was to his taste. Br.

Kaundinya has visited Subrahmanya together with Br. Meegling at

the time of the great annual feast (Nov.—Dec.) There the scholars

found repeated opportunities of announcing in different languages the

glad tidings to their countrymen, whilst the Missionaries addressed

chiefly the Canarese and Tulu pilgrims.

The Excrism Scmoor enjoys the confidence of the na-

tive community more than ever, the number of pupils

on the rolls being now as high as 203 in all the five

classes.

Many of the late accessions come from a con-

siderable distance.

It has in consequence been found necessary, to enlarge the accom-

modation of the school by building an upper story. The school was

visited by Lord Harris on the 28th November.

He devoted some

time to the examination of the pupils, and concluded by exhorting

them not merely to acquire knowledge in order to qualify themselves

for Government Offices, (the one thing needful in the estimation of

o)

most of these youths)—but to seek

after truth because it is its own

reward, far more precious than silver, gold and rubies.

Br. Hoch is aided in the school (since January 1857) by Br.

Keuler, who has charge of the 2nd Class.

The other three Classes

are superintended by teachers educated at this Station, J. Kamsica,

G-. Kolb and Mahadeva.

Help was afforded to the school, especially

during the Monsoon when there was a scarcity of teachers, by several

friends, of whom Lieut. M. A. Sweny, L N. has endeared himself to

the pupils in a peculiar manner by his faithful services.

Tittle can be said of the Cawarmse ScmoOLS.

In a

measure they answer our expectations, but much remains

to be done, especially the substituting of instruction

by classes for the present unsatisfactory method of

teaching adopted by the native masters: viz. instructing

each individual pupil by turns.

The Bramiax Girr-Scmoor is prospering. Looked

upon at first with great suspicion by the Brahmans it is

now visited by 17 girls. They are taught reading, wri-

ting and arithmetic.

Of late fhey have also made a beginning in needlework, and are

for this purpose visited twice a week by Mrs. Gundert: they candidly

confess they like this better than, Seripture History. As the pa-

rents do not allow their children to walk to any distance unprotected,

and the Schoolmaster would not be able to gather and convoy a

] i

greater number, it is proposed to establish a second school in another

quarter of the town.

IIf. INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT;

The weaving establishment has employed some 20

laborers and a number of apprentices and women. More

orders were received, than could be promptly executed.

Hence endeavors were made to draw some heathen weavers into

connexion with our establishment: but fear of Christian influence has

finally kept them from closing with the offers made.

11,408 yards

of different fabrics have been woven during the year.

The Madras

Exhibition of 1855 has awarded a second class medal for Jacquard

tablecloths. Br. Haller finds much to occupy him at the other stations

of our Mission, where looms are either at work or are now erecting.

)|

11

It is therefore the intention of our Cqmmittee, soon to send another

weaver to assist him.

In the Shop books to the value of 820 Rs. have been

sold, two thirds of which were obtained for schoolbooks

in different languages.

The Press has received an accession of strength in

the person of Br. Hunziker, who joined Br. Plebst in

January 1857, and will, we hope, infuse new vigor into

the working of this important branch.

When this leaves the press, an old friend of our Mission and parti-

cularly of the Mangalore Station, will have bid farewell to India.

It

is he who in 1834 welcomed our first three Missionaries to his house,

and who from that time has never ceased to take the most lively

interest in our work with all its trials, blemishes and successes. The

English school owes to him a special debt of gratitude. A great part

of its library, as well as the chemical, mechanical, and geographical

apparatus are his gifts, and will keep up within the room, where he

often visited, examined and encouraged the youths of Mangalore, the

remembrance of the name of Findlay Anderson.

The past year has had its peculiar trials.

In the

beginning of 1t menaces were uttered against the Station,

which induced the Missionary to tile his house in all

haste.

As some god or other had prophesied, that the Missionaries would

be forced to retire to the South of the Mangalore river, the natives

were confident, that the Mission house would either be burnt after the

example shown at Udapi, or that, being too late in the season, the

Padre would be washed out of it by the rains.

The tiling was in-

deed finished under the pouring showers of an early monsoon, but

e §

without any material injury to the house or its inmates.

At Coditur however an enemy succeeded (February 1857) in

burning the house and harvest of the solitary Christian Luke, who for

years has maintained a consistent walk amidst the surrounding dark-

ness.

Yet have the heathen neighbours kindly assisted and comforted

him in that fearful night to the best of their ability:

“You must not

think now of going away, as if we were against you: the fact is, we

all regard you since your conversion as the best man in the place, and

we cannot do without you.”

Br. Deggeller was married in October to Miss Lang.

His health has been fluctuating, and he will now have

to try a change to a cooler climate.

He has been deeply tried of late by a strange excitement, which

unexpectedly arose within the Church. A discontented young Cate-

chist, who threw up his appointment at Udapi and retired amongst

his relatives at Mulki, has so managed to steal the hearts of the

Congregation, as for the time to make our exhortations and warnings

In consequence of this the Lord’s supper could not be

It does not appear advisable to proceed

to harsher measures, but -we will wait patiently till their eyes be

opened to discover the desirableness of order and unity in the Camp

of the Lord and they recover themselves out of this subtle snare.

We

may add, that in our Judgment this is still the foremost of the Canara

Churches, there being none in which attention to the Word and mutual

love are more marked, however much even these Christians may

partake of the Tulu n‘ttmal character, distinguished as it is by a

certain dullsighted and sluggish obstinacy

After the fiery trial through which this young Station

had passed, we looked for repose, but it is still delayed

*They have now humbled themselves and are happy

et have We'to rejoice over some sheaves gathered, whilst

other plants have been choked and withered, and our

work consists mostly in sowing with tears.

After the Mission house and Chapel had been destroyed by fire

(December 1855 and March 1856), the former was rebuilt before the

rains.

The ruins of the Chapel were not interfered with; an early

Monsoon storm (26th May) added to them the remaining steeple: also

one sixth part of the new tiles on the Mission house was swept away.

The house was however made habitable by some contrivances, and

Brn. Ammann and Camerer could, from May, devote themselves un-

interruptedly to the work of the ministry. Regular preaching in the

bazar was resumed and is carried on without molestation.

Even

most of the Swamies are friendly. The outstations were frequently

visited, and the Sunday services so arranged, that two congregations

at least emjoyed the preaching of a Missionary on each Lord’s day.

The Candidates for baptism at Malapa, Killenji and Calyanpur were

duly taught by turns.

The Catechists were diligently superintended,

and periodical meetings instituted for their further instruction.

Mrs.

Ammann attended to the girls and taught them, as well as several

boys, the use of the needle in the afternoons, until failing health

obliged her (January 1857) to try a change to the hills.

The little Calyanpur Congregation, which consisted

ol §

of 8 or 4 families connected with Aaron, the first con-

vert, has greatly grieved us, first by their marked indiffe-

rence to the means of grace, then by a prominent anxiety

about the thin

olect

=)

os of this world. Considering the ne

e}

of their secular grievances as a want of love, they have

at last relapsed into heathenism: and one family of

Clatechumens has joined the Romish Church.

Thus the

enemy has gained a victory of more importance, than

the destruction of property to any amount could have

obtained for him.

Also in the other stations many have been careless about the word

of life.

The Congregations are as yet very weak and easily shaken

by every wind. Three Catechists have left their work at this station:

one because he preferred to devote his time to his fields, two others,

because they disliked the strict supervision introduced.

One of these

has repented and is employed on an outpost near Mangalore.

The

40

15

other has managed to enlist in his behalf the sympathies of his many

friends at Mulki, and continues for the present refractory.

The former Brahman School master of Karike, once

Ramachari, now Suwartappa, has joined himself to the

Church together with his truly interesting family.

His

wife was soon enabled to believe in Christ, but he passed

through many a struggle, before his selfrighteousness

and philosophy succumbed before the Cross.

They

were baptized (on Newyear's day 1857) with Simeon,

the aged father of a Canarese Cooly, that had been killed

last year by a fall from the roof of the Mission house.

He has received the word of salvation with the joy and

simplicity of a child. The baptism of these 6 souls from

among the Canarese has formed a cheering commence-

ment of the present year.

May such mercies be mul-

tiplied to us before its completion!

Br. Kaufmann has been cheered by the aceession of

Br. Handrich whom (in October) he received at Coompta

and accompanied to his new station.—There has been

no increase from amongst the heathen: the number of

16

Christians has even somewhat decreased, by the depar-

ture of some families that sought a livelihood at Bellary

and Mangalore.

Br. K. has begun to itinerate through the villages surrounding

Dharwar.—He was surprised to find in some not very remote ones

‘Where the

unmitigated ignorance of the very sound of the Gospel.

Gospel had been announced more regularly, indifference was the pre-

dominating feeling with which his message was received. The number

of souls, who may be said to be in any earnest about their own religion,

is exceedingly small.—A pleasing contrast to this listlessness was

offered by the experience of a native brother S. who went with the

Catechist to see his relations near Sholapur.

At first they were

received with tears and lamentations: but soon every one requested

to hear the new word, and many listened to it with an intense desire

to learn all that could be learnt of the true God and His love for men.

One was induced by curiosity to accompany the brethren on their return

to Dharwar, others promised to follow them. There are several sects,

that in secret reject the shackles of caste, but at the same time encour-

age every vice; these seem to drive a thriving trade also in that part

of the country, and to delude many souls, that aspire after something

better than the drivelling superstitions of their forefathers.

mering tongue ?

The two Preparandi, who for the last three years had

been instructed with a view to their being employed in

the Lord’s vineyard, have now entered upon their work,

number, several of whom evidence true sorrow for the

sing of their early youth and delight in God’s word.—

In Gadag a school has been opened, which is already

visited by 40—50 boys.

On the other hand one of our own schools has been almost émptied,

because one youth professed to believe in Christ.

A great personage

went so far as to distribute presents to all that would forsake the

school, and the elder boys have not yet returned. The frail youth

stood fast for a few days, but was at last carried off by his relations,

and has since ingratiated himself with them by declaring, that we gave

him something to drink that deprived him of his reason.

The same day Parameshwara a Mahratta youth, who had passed

already through several struggles with his conscience, came to the

determination of abiding with us.

His father though deeply grieved

by this resolve, yet exhorted his son, if he thought this the better

way, to stick to it and be obedient.

The annual festival at Gochandragoda has been visited, when mul-

titudes heard the Gospel.

Many pilgrims felt interested in our mess~

age, and religious conversations were rife in the shops and huts till

late at night.

The result however seems chiefly to be this: ¢ We

have heard enough,—don’t listen any longer; for it is impossible to

hear this word and to continue in the old way.”

Thus we may feel

b

assured, that the word of the Lord does its work: it will be a savour

of life to such as receive it, and of death to those who reject it.

This station has enjoyed rich blessings.

Last year

a number of Catechumens crowded together, seeking

45

19

rather the bread that perisheth, than the way, the truth

and the life.

Of the small remnant that was left after

L

various sifting processes, 7 adults with 7 children could

be baptized on the 24th of August.

About as many

remain under instruction.

A truly single hearted Ma-

homedan widow and her boy are amongst the converts:

she is' a pattern to the believers by her zeal for every

good work.—From September to December Br. Leon-

berger paid a visit to our stations along the Western

coast, in order to recruit his failing strength.

He was

enabled, after his return, to close the year with thanks

and praises; for the prayers answered and hopes ful-

filled exceeded the measure of all his former experience.

As many as 70 enquirers have left the Colony during the year,

having shown themselves more or less hopeless vagabonds; yet have

some of their children returned to us.

A visit was paid to the Shirarti Math during the annual festival.

There they worship the deceased Swami, until the death of his sue-

cessor supplies them with a new object of adoration.

We had many

attentive hearers, chiefly of those that came from the South. One of

them remarked feelingly; %The Gooroos cannot make us better than

we are, for wherein do they differ from us? all our hope is in such

as are better than we.”—When the Idolcar stuck fast in the wet soil,

the Swami sent his whippers, to drive together all the loiterers, for

the purpose of extricating the poor god.

The Station has been strengthened by the arrival of

Br. Strobel from Europe (19 Oct. 1856).—ATso Miss

Kegler has come to the assistance of Mrs. Diez in the

Girl’s Institution, which received large accessions in

January (after the date of our census).—Our dear Br

J. Ramavarma was ordained on the 3rd of Sept when,

he witnessed a good confession before a great assembly

of Christians and Heathens.

He was suddenly cut off

by smallpox in the midst of his usefulness (11 Febr. 57)

and we feel his loss deeply, surrounded as we are by

increasingly heavy responsibilities.

In our Obituary we give a sketch of our brother’s life, not perhaps

fully in keeping with the mode generally adopted in biographies

written shorﬂy after death, when one loves to recall to memory the

many p);,ecmus qualities that had endeared the departed to the survi-

vors, but in the style which we think he himself would have preferred,

by ascnbmg all to the praise of that wonderful mercy, that plucked

him as a fire brand out of the burning.

The annual feasts at Payawur and Taliparambu were

visited, both in 1856 and 1857, and the Grospel preached

22

without molestation.

Our tracts, priced as cheaply as

possible, found purchasers to a limited amount (about

a Rupee at each place).

The usual preaching spot at Payawur was on a low wall near an

old Temple.

This time the majestic tree, that for ages had sheltered

the fane, was found destroyed by lightning, and temple, idol and wall

lay crushed under the heavy branches. It was easy on that spot to

show even to the careless the perishing nature of their gods.

Br. Hebich preached the Gospel on two excursions.

From 18 May to the 9 August he visited Mercara, the

French Rocks, Palhally, the hills and Palghaut: In Oect.

and Nov. he announced the glad tidings in the well

frequented fairs and markets of South Malabar, and

attended the opening of Zion Chapel at Ottacamund

(3rd December).

Meanwhile the schools in and about Cannanore received a new im-

pulse by the earnest exertions of a zealous friend.

The Brn. Rama-

varma and Strobel devoted part of their time to the school in the

Mission compound, where from 150 to 170 children are taught in 5

New

classes, the 1st class learning also the rudiments of English.

schools were erected in the most promising localities, of which none

|

prospers better than that of Chovva, where 110 and more children

(mostly boys) make pleasing progress under the superintendence of

the Catechists C. Stocking and M. Abraham.

Yet we have even here

experienced, how slight a cause may seriously affect the well being of

these schools.

‘When slates were introduced, a rumor was at once

spread abroad, that a cunningly devised plan had been laid, by which we

had placed in the hands of the children most potent means of conversion,

and a panic ensuing, the school was half empty for some days.

In December our connexion with a mneighbouring

plantation, where in the course of 18 years a consider-

able congregation of laborers had been gathered into

the fold of Christ, came suddenly to a close.

The owner dismissed the Catechist and desired Br. Hebich to dis-

continue his visits.

Catechist Timothy had thus to quit the field in

which for 7 years he had done faithful service.

The greater part of

his Congregation having come to the resolution of following him, we

o

were obliged temporarily to receive them at Chovva; but it is our

intention to settle them as independent farmers on any suitable ground

that can be obtained for them.

We shall be thankful to such of our

friends as may be stirred up to remember us especially in this present

difficulty.

This Station has been considerably reinforced accord-

ing to its wants. Br. Sauvain joined it from Calicut, in

order to assist in the newly opened English school. Br.

Aldinger has acquired so much of Malayalam as to be

able both to preach and to give lessons in the Orphan-

school, whilst Br. Herre devotes himself chiefly to Eng-

lish teaching.

The English school was attended by as many as 140 scholal;s, which

number has of late somewhat diminished ; 124 being its status on New

year’s day. The boys are divided into three classes, of which the

first contains only 6, the second 34 pupils.

The progress of the

scholars was most marked in the third class.

Considerable difficulty

was experienced from some Mahomedan youths, who would not sub-

mit to order and discipline: after their exclusion there was a striking

abatement in the number of petty thefts.

Order is still a hard lesson

to many, and regularity both in attendance and in the payment of fees

requires again and again to be strictly enforced.

24

The Orphan boys are diligent and obedient. Br. Aldinger, besides

superintending their education, instructs them in English, Arithmetic

and Church history.

Qaveral adults have come to the Liord. Two women

were baptized (15 May), one of whom died shortly after,

happy in having found the Saviour of her soul. Her

last word was: I know well, He does not leave me.

Four others received baptism on the 21st of September,

one of whom, a Nayer of Chiracal, had there received

his first impressions from the faithful teaching of J.

Ramavarma. But being afraid of his relations, he left

his birth place and came to us for instruction. At his

baptism he nobly answered the questions addressed to

him, and now adorns the doctrine of Christ by an hum-

ble and cheerful walk.

The labors of the Missionary have been often inter-

rupted by failing health. He was in consequence obliged

to seek for a time a cooler climate above the Ghauts,

where he has been enabled to preach the good tidings

to a number of Paniers working on a coffee plantation.

On Good friday 1856 six persons were received by baptism into

the Church. One of them, a Tier, had already for 9 years thought

25

of coming to us, persuaded, that the religion chosen by his old

friend P. must be better than his own. Still he had delayed coming to a

decision, until, one day feeling unwell, he trembled at the prospect of

death, (as smallpox was just then carrying off great numbers), and

stated his desire, “not to die in his sins.”

The relations tried both

by flattery and violence to turn him from his purpose, but were defeat-

After Br. Sauvain had left the station (in Febr. 1856),

the burden of labor was beginning to weigh too heavily

on the shoulders of the Missionary.

The arrival of the

two Industrial brethren was therefore a most welcome

and welltimed relief. When they have learned the

language, the elder of them will take charge of Codacal,

our agricultural colony in the south, whilst the other

26

superintends the Carpenter’s shop and assists in the

work carried on at the central station.

Codacal is now by far the most important outstation. The rail road

E &

passing very mear it, attracts many laborers to whom the Gospel is’

freely announced; opportunity is also afforded for suitable occupation

to any Christian who will honestly work for his livelihood. On the

other hand the temptations to dissipations, excesses, carnal liberty and

money pride are greater, and we cannot boast of signal success in

combating them from a distance.

The presence of a Missionary on

the spot is urgently required.

Thirteen adults have been baptized in the course of the year.~—Just

now we are greatly refreshed by the conversion of schoolmaster Canara.

He had as a boy learned in our schools: but was absorbed by other

thoughts and pursuits, when his father, two years ago, on account of

failing health gave over to him the school at Puttur.

Soon the old

impressions revived; in vain he struggled to shake them off. On New

year 1857 he ran in to Calicut and opened his heart I must now

confess the truth, for I believe in Christ.”

But in order not to see

the grief of his aged parents, he begged to be sent for a time to Coda~

cal.

After two days the father came tottering in, almost distracted

by grief.

He was urged to allow his son to act up to his con-

victions, but hardly taking notice of what was said, he pursued his

journey to Codacal, to rebuke the disobedient child.

Still his love

4

did not permit him to be hard on the poor youth; he in fact only

asked him: Why could you not wait for my death before taking this

step? After all he likewise thought it best for his son not to return

to Puttur; where he himself has now undertaken to carry on the

school with the little strength left to him.

The Lord have mercy

on the poor old man!

Catechist Christian lost his young wife in July 1856.

The daughter of a

wicked mother, she had loved the Gospel from her first acquaintance with its

promises.

Being baptized upon her earnest request during a dangerous illness,

she revived against all hopes. Soon after her marriage her husband died of

smallpox (May 1847).

During this time she recovered from an attack of the

same disease.

She was ever after weak in body: but growing in spirit, she be-

came a valuable help in the Girl's school.

In 1849 Christian chose her for

his wife.

They were a happy pair, however trials abounded with them. Three

children preceded her in death. Then two premature confinements exhausted her

strength. Her chief grief was the evil conduct of her nearest relations, for

whom she was continually interceding with the Lord. She had yet the joy of

seeing a sister return from the Romanists, and she employed her ebbing strength

in guiding her to the Saviour. When that was accomplished and she saw her

reunited with the church, her work was done.

With joy and peace she left

this vale of tears on the 5th of July.

the hill tribes: but the Gospel continues to be preached.”

The Catechist had to be dismissed for unfaithfulness and

want of truth

In July Br. Mceerike visited for the first time the Badaga Colony

Mauhatti, which stretches over a hilly track above the Hosanur pass,

some 30 or 40 miles beyond the Eastern apex of the Nilagiries

The

Badagas there live in five hamlets, under the protection of a neigh-

bouring Lingaite monastery. They heard the Gospel with considerable

surprise

It was likewise announced in the populous Canarese vill-

ages on the road. A poor peasant who for the first time heard the

message of God to his scul, was so taken with it, that he exclaimed

in the highest amazement: this must be true!

On the other hand many who understand the truth sufficiently well

are now determined to shut their hearts to it

“ Preach of God or the

40

Lord, they say, talk about the Creator who made us all, only don’t

mention Jesus: we have enough of him and don’t want him

And

both Curumbas and Cotas are now hard at work, to discover who

among the Badagas show any liking for the truth; over such they

strive by any means whatsoever to re-establish their ascendancy

There is in consequence much dissension and strife in the infected quar-

ters, chiefly arising from suspicions and accusations of sorcery

Old Lydia, after being abundantly comforted through her protracted

sickness by the nearness of the Lord, grew at last somewhat impa-

tient under her accumulating sufferings

In July she was delivered

from them by peacefully falling asleep in the Lord

*Br. Metz has chiefly worked among the Todas, whilst Br. Mcerike confined

himself to the Badagas.

The past year has been a season of progress in the

Coorg Mission. For April 1856 Mr. Richter took charge

of the English school from Mr. Lewis, a young East

Indian. Since then it has much improved. The number

of secholars has increased. A

ublic examination held

in October last fully established the eredit of the school

<p

In February 1857 the Supreme Government sanctioned

the establishment of the school and granted a liberal sum

for its maintenance

The management of it has been

entrusted to Mr. Meegling

In May 1856 the household of the Coorg Mission was placed on a

new footing by the marriage of Br. Meegling with the widow of his

intimate friend, our lamented Brother Weigle of whose sudden depar-

ture our last report has given an account

The Missionary and his

partner have visited together the great jatras at Talakaveri and Su-

brahmanya; and Mrs. M. has taken charge of the female part of the

little congregation and girls attending school.

Public preaching has been ecarried on at the markets of Mercara

and Virarajendrapetta as formerly. There are generally numbers of

attentive or at least quiet listeners to be found

In December 1856 a considerable number of Holaya

families at Beppunadu resolved on forsaking the worship

-

29

of their dreaded demons and seeking admission into the

Christian Church.

They were freely received.

IThey have little knowledge, but their sincerity does not appear to

admit of doubt.

If they had no faith in Christ, they would not dare

to give up the worship of those devils which are greatly feared in

Coorg. They have taken a tract of waste land from Government, at a

distance of 6 or 7 miles from Beppunadu, and are going to settle there as

a separate Christian community. Since their secession from the body of

heathen Holayas living at Beppunadu, they have been joined by a few

families who at first held back; and more are likely to join after some

time.

#The little Church of Almanda is now nearly filled on Sundays.

A tract “the Mirror of the heart” has been translated into English,

and two English tracts, one of Ryle's Remember Lot” and Mrs.

Mitchell’s Bala Sundari Tagore have been translated into Canarese.

Our esteemed Home Committee have come to the resolution of

refusing to adopt the Coorg Mission, but we continue to hope, that

the comnextion between the new Mission and the Basel Society may

yet be preserved.

#*They are now about 130 souls in 20 families.

VI. 0BITUARY.

The chief incidents of our Br. Jacob Ramavarma’s

life can be told in his own words.

Before his ordination

he wrote for our Home Committee a candid account of

his life, from which we transcribe almost literally.

] was born on the 28th Nov. 1814 at Tripoonittura, the Capital of the Cochin

principality, which was then ruled by my father, the Rajah Vira Kerala. I was

called Ramavarma, because born on Ramanavami. If my father preferred my

elder brother, as being of & bolder spirit, I was patronized by the mother, who

by word and example taught me as pure a morality as can be attained by a

heathen.

The father wanted to make of me a zealous Veishnava, and had me

instructed in Sanscrit lore from my earliest youth.

I was accordingly a firm

believer in Jagannatha, the tutelar Deity of our residence, and being of as tudi-

ous turn of mind, I hoped one day to reach his feet by learning all about the

Puranas and eschewing every evil practice.

The father’s death (in 1828) followed according to Malabar law by the sue-

cession of the nephew, exposed our family to many vexations: for three years

we lived retired at Veickam, and were reduced to various shifts for gaining our

daily bread, until Col. Morrison and Major Cadogan by strenuous exertions

SR

30

succeeded in righting us.

When in consequence we were enabled to return to

the Capital (in 1830), I joyfully resumed the former studies, and gave myself

so fully to them, that my mother even blamed me for not joining in the plays

and amusements of youth. About this time I was shocked to hear that a Brah-

man who had been put in charge of the chief tem

ple, had one night stripped the

idol of jewels to the amount of 15000 Rs.

I prayed earnestly that the rogue

might be brought to condign punishment, but the petition, however frequently

repeated, remained unanswered. Soon after this the golden image of Vittala

which my father had set up for his private worship, was stolen and broken up

by another Embran (or Mal. Brahman). This was too much for me: I began

to doubt the Divinity of these made gods, and in spite of my mother’s entreaties

avoided, as far as possible, all participation in their worship.

‘About this time a pious Captain gave my elder brother a Malayalam New

Testament. He threw it over to me with the words, “there, student, look!” I

admired the book as a specimen of printing in our own language. But when

I looked into it, the many foreign names in Matth. I. deterred me from reading,

and I generally left it upon the table merely to show it to visitors as a novelty,

and to laugh over those uncouth sounds.

I was just then devouring some of

the worst Shastras, which made me dislike not merely religion, but every moral

restraint. I still submitted somewhat to my mother’s words, until the completion

of my studies and the investiture with the sacred cord should be over.

That

being done I abandoned myself to the lusts of my evil heart. I was then 16

years-old, and for 2 years my mother’s voice had no power over me. But the

sudden death of a young niece frightened me in the midst of my wild career.

I knew I was wrong. What if I should die? I feared the 400 and odd hells, and

felt that I had deserved them richly.

One day I was revolving in my mind the propriety of changing my pursuits,

when a cousin spoke to me about learning English in the Padre’s school at Co-

chin. My mother approved of the plan. Accordingly I went to Cochin, visited

4p

the Rev. Mr. Ridsdale (about July 1834), and was admitted as a dayscholar. I

liked to see him pray and expound the Scriptures, but for some months under-

stood nothing of what was going on. The first teaching I could make out, was

a racy attack on idolatry, which I relished exceedingly. When therefore a mo-

nitor told me to look a little into the Bible, I answered very readily, % Why

should a man not acquaint himself with every faith? I shall read it gladly”.

Upon this I got a Malayalam New Testament from Mr. Ridsdale, who put a mark

into the Epistle to the Romans, and wished me to read this first of all.

I then

remembered the volume I had treated so shabbily.

I took the book home, read

it through, and learned many passages by heart.

Soon I was bold enough in

company with a Concani Ananta to go to Church during a Sunday service, but

I heard little of the first sermon.

The second sermon I heard treated of Is. 53,

“He made intercession for the transgressors”.

That made on me a strong im-

i;

pression: I too was a transgressor, no doubt, and I could believe that Jesu's

prayers are offered for me also.

Now I should gladly have become a disciple of Christ, if only there had been

less shame in the way.

I continued to read the Scriptures under many internal

struggles.

Once in going to Cochin the boat was nearly upset by a sudden

squall.

In that moment of danger I made a vow to become a Christian, and

was enabled to inform Mr. Ridsdale of my resolution. He would have baptized

me the following Lord’s day, if our Brahman cook had not informed my mother

of all he knew and suspected, whereupon I was detained at home and incessantly

watched, Yet I did hardly waver in my resolution: a slight attack of disease

31

strengthened it rather.

As soon as a favorable opportunity offered, I went to

Cochin.

The next day (5 April 1835) I was baptized together with the above

Concani John Ananta.

I gave up my string, hairlock and caste

came to see me, whom I advised to follow my example.

My wuncle also paid

My elder brother rushed against me with a poniard,

but was soon softened, and gave me even some money before he left. He con-

tinued to afford me some assistance as long as I stayed at Cochin, although,

according to caste custom, he had to make a representation of my person with

Butea leaves for the purpose of performing for me, as a deceased relation, the

funeral ceremonies.

A native Christian D. the Suriani Munshi of Mr. Ridsdale had not been

present at our baptism. When he saw us, he pretended to pity us: “Poor fellows

said he, to be thus taken in! Could not you be saved in the religion of your

fathers?” This word surprized me much. It did more with John A, Whenever

difficulties arose, he would say,—% Was not D. right? are we not to be pitied ?”

Alas, he was never happy. He joined at last the Syrians and died, it would

seem in great darkness. How many reasons have I to thank distinguishing

grace!

My own state at that time was however not much brighter than his. I

loved the Lord to a certain extent and wished to serve him, but knew hardly

how to set about it. Iliked to go to Church and to tell others of the Gospel.

Occasionally I would ask some Christian to accompany me and go to invite

some poor idolaters to come to Jesus.

If they asked questions which I could

not answer, I felt distressed and tried to find a solution.

Now and then I

begged the Missionary to instruct me, but he had hardly sufficient time for all

his avocations.

I was not right in my inmost heart.

Of private prayer I had

hardly an idea. I would read and repeat printed prayers, but felt not satisfied

with my state.

Joseph Fenn was then Moonsiff of Cochin, himself a converted

Nayer. He would say “God does not look to the book, but to the heart; try

to pray with the heart.”

I found the advice good and followed it with some

benefit.

But as I felt at the end of two years, that I spent my time to little purpose,

I begged to be sent to Madras in order to complete my studies. The Rev. J.

Tucker procured me a place in Bishop Corrie’s Grammar School (May 1837)

where I was for 8 years instructed by pious teachers, and experienced much

love from Mr. Tucker, with whom I lived.

I shall always keep in grateful

remembrance the many benefits bestowed on me by the Church Missionary

Society and those of their agents who have served me in the Lord. Some are

asleep, among them Mr. R. who had then already arrived at the end of his

career.

Others are still in the field. May He be their rich reward!

When I look back upon my stay at Madras, I must also gratefully remember

the blessed names Anderson and Johnston, hoth of whom have shown me much

of the love of Jesus. I wondered how some could think it strange and blame-

worthy, that I should visit such men and listen to other than Episcopalian

teaching. But J. Fenn had prepared me for finding divisions and sectarianism

even in the true Church of Christ.

I was now and then harrassed by doubts on

these subjects, but kept them to myself.

After I had been three years at Madras, my benefactor Mr. T. was obliged to

go to Europe.

I felt his departure as a great loss: for in the institution which

I then entered I found more strictness and less love, than I had been accustomed

Being of rather a timorous constitution of mind, I was easily discouraged

and began to think of returning to the Western Coast. It was just about this

time that my next friend and country man, the Syrian M. confided to me his

I had often wished to see Jerusalem, and thinking

plan of visiting Antioch.

this a favorable opportunity, I accompanied him, little caring as to what might

be the will of God concerning me.

We came as far as Belgaum (1841) where

the Missionaries received us kindly and employed us during the rainy season.

When M. set out again for Bombay and Syria (where he was consecrated Arch-

bishop Mar A. by the Jacobite Patriarch) I was detained by a disease of the

eyes. The Lord had mercy on me and would notlet me lose myself by pursuing

my own ways.

For about 2 years I was in Rev. Mr. Taylor’s house, treated

as a child of the family and employed in teaching English and Tamil, and preach-

ing to the Canarese. Ihad every occasion to learn what vital Christianity really

is, and every incitement to give myself wholly to the Lord. But after all I fell into

a great sin, such as I had not committed for 10 years. I felt undone, wept,

eried and trembled before the Lord; yet peace I found none. When after some

days I was accused before the Missionaries, I denied boldly and grieved them

deeply with my foolish pride.

This made an end to my sojourn at B. but in

parting the Missionaries gave me their blessing and exhorted me, as F returned

to the Western Coast, to visit either Mr. M. at Mangalore, or Mr. H. at Cannanore.

The Pattimar took me past Mangalore to Tellicherry, from whence I walked to

Cannanore (Sept. 1843 ).

Catechist Aaron saw me in the Chapel and sought my

acquaintance. He took me to Mr. Hebich, where I told all my story except my

fall. That part I was determined to hide from all men, and denied it stoutly

when I saw Mr. H’s suspicions. But upon the principle of rejecting none who

come to him, but giving a chance of recovery even to the worst sinner, Mr. H.

kept me on trial.

My heart was soon gained by his open and hearty manner;

after some months (Feb. 1844) I married a simple Christian girl and was made

Catechist of the new outstation Chiracal.

)

I had now found an end to my wanderings; but how was my soul? I had

read the Scriptures and many good books, had heard many exhortations and

advices, had often been powerfully drawn to repentance by the outstretched

arm of the Lord, was repeatedly roused to consider my ways by sickness and

other trials :—but notwithstanding all this I always relapsed into a certain carnal

security, resting on a faithful discharge of my duty to men, having a form of

godliness, but denying the power thereof. Still God would not let me pass

over into eternity in this fatal drowsy state of my heart: after some years he

was pleased ‘to reveal His son to me and grant me the gift of his Holy Spirit.

It happened in this wise.

In September 1847 there was a powerful revival in the Church of Cannanore.

One Thursday as usual Mr. H. was preaching at Chiracal, when two youths

began to cry aloud and accuse themselves of heinous sins. Fear and trembling

fell on the hearers. I had to interpret, but was so overcome, that Mr. Hebich

sent me out of the room to recover myself. I sat aside and wept: my heart

beat audibly; it was as if I was told, “now, hard heart, thy time is come”. Some

how or other I collected myself so far as to continue interpreting to the end.

But I was like a drunken man.

Others, I saw, had found peace by repenting,

confessing, and believing.

I tried to share their happiness, but as I was deter-

mined not to acknowledge my fall at B. I found no rest. The following Sunday

I sat selfcondemned under the word preached, it was as if fire had settled on my

heart and passed through my bones; and I said to myself, “this is a beginning

of hell fire; better out with the poison”. I sought for an opportunity to speak to
