The following passages taken from the last yearly report of our Home Committee, read by the Rev. J. Josenhans, Principal of the Missionary Institution at Basel, at the forty fourth anniversary of the Society on the 29th June 1859 will interest the Friends and suppor- ters of our Mission in India. »Our anniversaries have everbeen and ever shall be days of praise wand thanksgiving, even in seasons of chastisements and afflictions. But wnever on the days of our yearly assembly\ have we had greater wcause for joy and gratitude, than on this present occasion. ‘While: »on the frontiers of our common country the storm of war rages, my- wriads rush into the whirl of battle and thousands of lives are sacrifi- wced, while the natives of Europe arekeptin painful suspense and an~ »Xious expectation of things to come, we have here assembled in per- wfect peace, and have met together in the house of God for the purpose »of receiving the history of the Basel Evangelical Missionary Society wduring the past year, the forty fourth of its existence and labors, »and to speak, as we have been wont to do, of the works which the ngreat Prince of Peace and Life has wrought among us and through us. »Might it not be far otherwise, and is it through our merit, that these nblessings are once more vouchsafed to us? Is it not the Lord’s doing, pand is it not marvellous in our eyes, that we all, who have come to- mgether, Brethren from Switzerland, Germany, France, Russia and wother countries, are united here and of one mind, looking forward to »the fulfilment of that hope, the greatness and glory of which surpass- wes all the pomp and majesty of the world. Truly this is a token »for good, worthy of profound gratitude. It is a pleasing evidence of 9% G g ythe fact, that even the mighty commotions of the last days, the ngreatest political events, which we, the generation of nearly half a weentury of peace, have lived to witness, have not prevailed to draw winto and to drown in the vortex of worldly interests the minds and whearts of those who hope for the kingdom of God. » Lhe income of the past year has been the largest on record in the Hhistory of our Mission. It has exceeded that of the year 1854 by »312,045 fr. or £ 12},482, (25 fr. make £ 1.) a circumstance the more wencouraging as it results from an increase in all the different bran- wches of our resources. The auxiliary associations have raised their scontributions by fr. 22,598, special donations of friends sent direct to wour treasury have risen by fr. 116,984, the halfpenny collections shave increased by fr. 7163, and even when fr. 150,000, the extraordi- snary gift of an individual friend of the Mission are deduéted, the sbalance of fr. 494,767 remains, a sum only a few thousand francs sbelow the total income of the preceding year. On the other hand »it must not be overlooked, that our expenditure has steadily risen ssince 1854 and amounted during the past year to fr. 577,851 ex- § sclusive of the cost of extraordinary undertakings, although the Home nexpenditure was less by fr. 5000. This increase of expenditure is weaused by the enlargement of our Missionary operations abroad in »India, and especially in Western Africa. Our Mission in India has ex- wceeded the budget of 1857-58 by fr. 14000 and our African Mission »by fr. 37,000. In the year 1854 the number of our foreign Mission- paries amounted to 44; at present, after deducting those who died du- ,,vring the past year and required to be replaced, we are supporting »in connection with our foreign Missionary stations, 70 brethren, »o1 of whom are married, 99 children, 3 unmarried sisters, to whom wsmust be added 82 Catechists, 11 native Schoolmistresses, and 9 Mas- Our Mission to China moreover must be sters of English Schools. weonsiderably strengthened and more largely supplied with men and »means, if we are to avail ourselves worthily of the great opening given e ah 4 » Dy thé peace lately concluded between the Western powers and the The Missionary Institution here numbers 71 »Government of Pekin. »Brethren in its two divisions, who are preparing and waiting for being ssent out in course of time to our Missionary Stations.

She came from her native country a heathen, and is about to return to it a Christian. At the time of the anniversary the roof was put on the new Mis- sion house, the erection of which had so far prosperously advanced by the Lord’s goodness, when the House was by a special and solemn service committed to the care and protection, and dedicated to the honor of the Lord whose providence has furnished the Committee in a most unexpected way with the means necessary for the execution of a plan, which they had long had under consideration. The Home Committee continueto employ three of our Indian Mis- sionary Brethren, whose health forbids their return to a tropical cli- mate, at least for the present, as travelling Agents in Switzerland and Germany. These labors have done much to advance the cause of Mis- sions, and to create and foster a greater interest in the affairs of Evangelical Missions in those countries. A brother of advanced age *) *) While this report is carried through the press, we have received a short and kind note from our_venerable Brother Zaremba begging us to notify, if possible, some slight in- Qur dear bro- accuracies of which we have been innocently guilty in our last year’s report. ther informs us: “I was not subsequently pardoned, as stated in yourreport pag. 18, by the Em- peror Alexander L, but, before my reception into the Mission house, (which took place in 1818) =g who formerly belonged to the Basel Mission in the Caucasus, which I in 1835 was extinguished by the orders from the Emperor of Russia, { prevailed upon by the influence of the powerful Clerus of the Greek Church, who were jealous ofthe introduction of the Scriptures among the Armenians and the spread of seriptural knowledge and views in their wide domain,—has been enabled through the mercy of the Lord to @ 1i conclude a Missionary tour of three and a half years’ duration and to return in peace and safety to the headquarters of the Mission. He has travelled through Russia, has visited the Caucasian provinces, the former field of his Missionary labors, Odessa with other places on the shores of the Black sea, and Bessarabia, and returned by way of Constantinople, Smyrna and Trieste. His self-denying labors coura- geously undertaken at a time of life when men seek rest and repose, ey have been singularly favored and blessed. He has excited an interest in the work of Missions among the in- habitants ofregions rarely visited by European travellers, and has gain- ed over to the faith and service of Christ a young Armenian who has since been received into the Missionary Institution at Basel. Western India. The review of almost every year in the life of individuals and of Societies presents some peculiarity of character arising from the com- 2 bination of circumstances and events which have marked the period now passed and distinguished it from its predecessors as well as success- his Majesty desired Count Capodistrias, the then Secretary of State, to signify to me his compliance with my petition, and his permission that I might follow the bent of my heart. The Minister of Ecclesiastical affairs also, about the same time, addressed a letter to me in which he congratulated me upon the choice of so noble a calling, Without the Emperor’s per- mission the Committee would not have received me into the Mission house. I went to the Transcaucasian provinces in 1821 accompanied by Br., Dittrich. We stayed eight months at Pe- tersburg, where I had an interview with the Emperor. I left Shusha in 1838. My late visit; therefore, took place after twenty years, not forty, as stated.”—In this last point, however, we were correct enough; for the leave of Alexander I. was given in 1818 and that of Alexander I1. about forty years afterwards. We did not intend to give the time from Br. Za.r_exr{xba’s de- parture to his return to the Caucasus. g ors. Each year under the providence and discipline of God, deal. b ing with men and especially with his children in wisdom and merey, thus bears, to the eye of the thoughtful observer, a signature of its own I In the history of our Indian Mission we have had years of decid- ed and encouraging progress when important victories were gained in more than one station. Such years of promise have not unfre- quently been succeeded immediately by years full of losses and dis- % couragements. The year before last was mournfully distinguished by an unprecedented mortality which almost decimated the number f of European. agents. The last. year which now passes under re- view, has seen an alarming exodus of old and tried laborers com- pelled by ill health to leave the tropics, a sudden loss suqh\ as our Mission never before sustained. Early in the year Br. Gundert returned to Europe after having long battled against a complication of disorders, until he felt it im- possible to continue at work. He hoped then, to return after a year or so, and left his wife and daughter at Calicut, where they superin- tended the female boarding School after the death of Sister Fritz. But his health has so little improved at home that the medical men who have been consulted, have protested against his return to India at all. We shall therefore lose also the services of Sister Gundert who after twenty five years of labor in this country prepares for joining her hus- band and family in Germany. After the last Monsoon Br. Hebich, our worthy Senior; who had landed at Calicut in October 1834 with two Colleagues and established the first of our stations, at Mangalore, and who had worked on without interruption for full twenty five years was suddenly warned by alarming symptoms, that his time had come for seeking in'a change of climate the restoration of his health, which rapidly gave way. He has reached home and appears to have re- gained sufficient strength and health to lay himself out in daily and _ipcessa.nt labor. Qur last accounts speak of him as staying at Basel Gl preaching every ev;ening to crowded audiences in one of the largest churches of the city and spending almost every hour of the day in visiting or being visited by such as are impressed by his plain, unmis- takeable and unvarnished proclamations of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and of the sinfulness and corruption of man. The Stations of Calicut and of the Nilagiri have lost their senior Missi“onaries, the Brethren Fritz and Metz. We hope,indeed, that these Brethren may in due time resume their labors with renewed health and strength. Yet their absence, even for a year or two will be se- verely felt. The Mangalore Station has lost Br. Hoch, one of the oldest Brethren of that Mission. And three other veteran Brethren have been under the necessity of sending their wifes and families to their native countries. A large number of Missionary éhildren, twenty- one in number, and three Malayalam youths who are to receive their education in the Missionary Institution at Basel have embarked with our Brethren and Sisters on board the Windsor Castle which sailed from Cannanore on the 10th January. A few days previous to the departure of this vessel freighted with so large a party from our Mission, Sister Miiller, the wife of Br. Christian Miiller at Cannanore, while busily preparing the outfit of one of her children for the voyage, was herself called away from her labors to the rest which remaineth for the Children of God. Two This year of departures has given us but four new arrivals. Sisters, now the partners of the Brethren G. Pfleiderer and J. Hunzi- ker, have come to join the Mangalore Station. To the Cannanore Sta- tion Br. Reinhardt has been added, and Br. $chlunk who came out to India in December 1858, has been joined by his wife. Grateful as we feel for these accessions, yet they do not cause us to forget our great losses, which are very severe, though we hope for the return, after some time, of several of the older Brethren. The recent loss of laborers from our Missionfield does notyettell upon the census, the increase of our congregations amounting to three { hindred members less one; but it presses heavily upon ‘those that are left to carry on the work, and ‘will show itself, we fear, in the census of the coming year; though it must not be forgotten, that the Lord can work through few as well as through many, and is often pieased to show forth his own power most manifestly when human sfrength is at the lowest ebb. In the increase of members the congregations of all the five districts of the Mission have shared. Upwards of one half of the members added, are communicants. The congregations of Canara and Malabar have, as usual, had the largest accessions. Coorg, the latest .of our Stations has made, comparatively, the greatest stride in advance. However, some Stations, hitherto the least fruitful, have had special proof; that the gospel, as of old, is in our days heard by the poor, and that the good Shepherd of Souls has not changed his mind, but is still seeking that which is lost, i. e. despaired of by men, but chosen by God. The Schools established at Tellicherry and Mangalore with a view to supply the Mission with Catechists and Christian Schoolmas= ters, are gradually drawing a large number of youths from our con~ gregations. Still the demand for trained and good men to assist the European Missionaries in their work of preaching and teaching, will for many years far exceed the supply from our preparandi‘and cate- ‘chist classes, youths of superior promise will from time to time be received into the Mission College at Basel, (as the three lads from the Tellicherry School, now on board the Windsor Castle), there to go through a regular course of study extending over five or six years, when they are ordained with their European Brethren and return to their native country as Missionaries, still familiar with the language, climate and habits of their homes, yet spiritually and intelieciually we hope in possession of the freedom of European Christianity. 5 8 A. Kaundinya at Mangalore has been the first of this race of German- Indian Missionaries. Two other Indian Brethren are at present in the Basel College and will return, we trust, ina year or two. Before they 3 e e leave, the Malaydlam youths, above mentioned, will have become fa- miliar with the Basel Institution, and, if the Lord be pleased further to own this experiment by his blessing, our Indian Mission may in time to come stand in the closest and liveliest connection with the mother churches of Germany and Switzerland, even if few European Brethren remain in this country to guide the counsels and labors of the native Brethren, who may then bear the chief burden ofthe work. These ‘may appear sanguine expectations to some of our I'riends. But if it be the purpose of the Lord to take possession of his rightful inheritance, to which India belongs with the rest of the world, will he not cause the great work at last to be done principally by native instrumentality? and is not the plan of our Home Committee likely to produce valua- ble native laborers? Let us hope and pray for much, and much will be given us by him who has said: Open thy mouth wide, and I Wfl‘l fill it. The work of itinerant preaching, most important as it appears to us, will suffer for some time to come from the present scarcity of Bre- thren, the strength of most of the Brethren remaining is taken up by Yet the hand of the Lord duties which confine them to their stations. is not shortened, He can send His word to such as He has chosen unto eternal life, and even raise up living witnesses and fill them with His Spirit, to glorify His name. May our present necessity prove His opportunity! W | 1. CANARA, 0 MANGALORE 16 1y Rev. A. Biihrer (1842)% and Mrs. Biihrer (1846). Rev. W. Hoch (1846) and Mrs. Hoch (1851). Rev. H. A.

' * .The coNGREGATION has had an increase of 64 souls, 25 of whom are adults. Nine couples were married during the year and 15 per- sons died, 7 adults and 8 children. The new baptisms stand in no direct connection with the public preaching of the gospel, but are ra- ther the fruit of the unobtrusive but not the less wholesome influence, which Christians of established character exercise over their heathen relatives and neighbors. The internal growth of the Church is ob- servable. The word of God silently and gradually manifests its en- lightening, chastising and transforming power. Active proofs of spi- ritual life, of personal watchfulness and corresponding zeal and inte- rest in the souls of others. do not abound as they ought. However the exercise of church discipline is not often called for. A few unruly people have given considerable trouble. Three of them have been ex- cluded for a time from the church, and one has been excommunicated who had employéd false witnesses in a law-suit and refused to sub- mit to discipline.. The generality of the congregation lead a decent and quiet life, and we are happy to observe a moral tone and sound judgment gradually gathering strength among our people, intolerant of ufiChristian conduct and overt acts of ungodliness. Most of the new converts are weavers, two have been the first fruits of the Carpenter Caste. One of the candidates for baptism, a youth, used the following words in a private conversation: “I am very glad I am going to he baptized, I feel great joy in the word of salvation, which I am now learning to read, it is my rod and my staff. It is true I am a big sinner, I wasvery bad as a heathen, I have committed all sorts of sins, I never thought of heaven or hell, nor even of a fu- ture reward, till I heard the Word for the first time from Mr. Camerer (who died \ L \ at Udapy, a little more than a year ago). I .am deeply grieved when I think of e my sins; but since I believe in Jesus, who came to save sinners, I have joy also; He has pardoned me, and therefore I have peace and joy in my heart.” e The happy expression of his countenance bore witness to the sincerity of his 0 language The family of the demon-priest, who, as mentioned in the last re- His port, was baptized shortly before he died, is also a source of joy to us widow and five children were received into the church, the latter especially stepped forth boldly and cheerfully to kneel for the administration of the rite and showed by the happy smile on their faces, that they appreciated the bless- ing bestowed on them. Their deaf old grandmother was baptized with them at her urgent request “Shall I remain behind? said she. I have given up the world and the devil, and believe in Jesus. Bowed down by age and leaning on her staff, she dragged herself to church to be buried with Christ by baptism into his death. Two great Missionary Tours have by the Lord’s blessing been accomplished within the year, one by the Brethren Kaundinya and Finckh, who with some catechists and scholars from Mangalore accom= panied the three Coorg Brethren to the great annual festival at Tala- kavery, where they called the pilgrim-crowds from the waters of the Kaveri to the fountain of living waters opened by God for the cleansing The second by Br. Hunziker and Catechist Samuel away of sin. Ammanna This was a much longer expedition, to which a peculiar interest attaches The idea ougmated with our brethren of the Press, and was under God’s blessing carried out most successfully. Br. Hun- ziker was also accompanied by a Colporteur who, however, fell sick on the road and was obliged to return tc Mangalore before the party had gone over half their ground. The threefold object of the tour was to visit if possible the whole of the Canarese country with a good stock of Scriptures and Tracts for sale and distribution, to preach the Word wherever an opportunity might offer, and to ascertain from people of all classes what kind of books would be acceptable to them. The Madras Auxiliary Bible Society met the application for a grant of Bibles and parts of scriptures in amost liberal spirit and offered to bear a con- siderable share of the travelling expenses Br. Hunziker relates the following particulars: Within the space of four months (from May to September) we travelled about a thousand miles among the Canarese population of the Mysore table land, from L village to village and town to town, visiting about a hundred different places. The principal towns and larger villages, through which we passed, were the following : Mercara, Hoonsoor, Mysore, Seringapatam, Bangalore, Toomkoor Hasan, Halebid, Sira, Chittledroog, Bellary, Harpanhally, Hurryhur, Savanur, § Hoobly, Dharwar, Bettigherry, Badamy, Guledgudda, Yellapur, Taddry, and Kumpte on the coast. Of 722 Bibles and parts of Scriptures 282 were sold, and 440 given away gratis, the latter especially to hearers or inquirers, who f chiefly on market days had come considerable distances even from unfrequented parts of the country. In the north of the Astagram Division, in Nuggur, and in the Southern Mahratta country we succeeded better than in the southern districts of Mysore. The greatest obstacle to the sale of books we found to be not so much the poverty of the people, but their greatignorance and that stolid indifference to every thing intellectual or spiritual. Samuel, the Catechist, preached regularly twice a day in the bazaars, near cutcherries and temples, or at other convenient spots, except when rain kept him at home. However even on rainy days many opportunities for conversation offered them- selves at travellers bungalows, in huts or in temples, in which we had often to stay for the night. Generally speaking the lower castes were more open to the truth than the higher as Bramins, Lingaites or Mohamedans. The latter often showed themselves positively hostile, although on one occassion two Mohame- dans wished to purchase Bibles in Hindostany, copies of which we were sorry not to have brought with us. On the same day about fifty people were lis- tening to an address from John 3, 16. at the close of which an old man said, “This word i3 true and worth our accepting and acting accordingly.” Many wished to hear the whole chapter read, from which the text was taken, a desire which we gladly gratified. We humbly thank the Lord for the measure of suc- cess he vouchsafed us in the sale and distribution of the Scriptures, as well as for the preparation of the minds and hearts of the people who came to hear our message of peace.— All the Brethren of the station have been graciously preserved- from serious illness. The younger Brethren have gradually taken their full share of Mission work. Bazaar-preaching is more regularly and vigorously carried on than in former years. On several evenings of the week public preaching is carried on by Missionaries and Catechists From 20 to 100 hearers as- in three much frequented localities. semble in those places at stated hours and generally form well behaved and attentive congregations.

The establishment affords employment to 28 people, six of whom are heathen. 46600 copies of a great variety of books and tracts have issued from the press during the year, 10,200 copies of which have been published for the Educational department of Government. The Tulu Liturgy has been carried through the press, and the Tulu Testament comple- ted. The Canarese Messenger has been discontinued for want of ade~ quate support. The Weavine EsTABLISHMENT is in a very flourishing éonditiofi. The erection of the large weaving room which contains forty looms, has been of great service to the establishment. Br. Haller is enabled to superintend all the workmen more effectually at much less expense of time and strength, and the workmen have become more punctual and diligent. Fifty more weavers might be advantageously employ- ed, but our christian weavers are all engaged already, and heathen men are shy of taking service in the Mission, from fear of losing their caste. 61 persons are fully employed and upwards of 20000 yards of all the different kinds of cloth have been manufactured within the last twglve months.

Br. and Sr. Ammann | have been enabled to hold their post for another year, and only on the last day of 1859 Sr. Ammann quitted the sphere of her labors to join the party about to embark for Europe at Mangalore. Towards the end of 1859 Br. Briegel took charge of the congregation at Mulky and its outstations, in order to set Br. Ammann free for preaching the gospel to the heathenin the neighborhodd and throughout the country. In December Br. Hartmann had acquired sufficient knowledge of the language to take entire charge of the Orphan School, for the superin- tendence of which he had been especially appointed by the Home Com- mittee, A family of 8 members, two adult individuals, 14 orphan boys and 12 christian children have been baptized. 3 couples have been married. 5 members of th¢ congregation have died. The spirit of the congregation has much improved. We witness here and there pleasing fruits of the Spirit among our christians, although now and then the old leaven of strife shews itself again and requires to be sub- dued. A good opportunity for manifesting its growth inlove was given to the church by a large Missionary Meeting held at Mulky (on the. 215t of September last). 4 e No less than 12 speakers, Missionaries, Catechists and others addressed a b goodly assembly comprising members of three different churches of the district. ) One of the speakers, an old farmer, Peter of Gudde, in simple language exhor- ted the eompany to grow strong in the Lord, toreceive His truth and to put on f] His righteousness by His blood and by His spirit. The Catechist Daniel Am- 11 manna compared the present state of things in the Tulu Country with that of 20 years ago. “Formerly, he said, not one of the heathens would have ven- o1 tured to enter at night the fort, where now the Mission house and church stand. 9 When it was first proposed to build, the heathens laughed at us and said the 0 spot chosen was hunted by evil spirits and now we are peacefully celebrating W a Missionary festival in this very place. This the love of Christ has accom- plished. Let us always remember it and walk accordingly.” A pleasing occurrence was the happy death of the oldest member of the 5 Church, Abraham of Kadike, about 85 years old, whose large family forms a considerable part of the Mulky congregation. He appeared to lay hold of Jesus more firmly in the days of his sickness, and feeling his own righteousness al- al together insufficient, more earnestly to desire after the righteousness of Christ. When he received the Lord’'s Supper a week or two before his death, Br. Am- mann had reason to rejoice at the state of his mind. On the evening of the 20th of August he prepared for his departure. He tied two knots in a piece of P cloth that lay before him, and said: “Now two knots remain for me to untie; 18 one has reference to my children, the other to the Missionary.” He then asked fl the pardon of all his people and assured them, that he forgave them all; where- i upon he ordered a cocoanut to be brought and divided into pieces, each piece fl to be covered with a little sugar and distributed among all present. At last I he shook hands with every one. On the following day when the Missionary i Brethren came to see him, he appeared only balf conscious and longed for his ) departure. All present knelt down and committed his parting spirit into the O hands of the Lord. On their rising he greeted the Missionaries, seized the hand N of one and said: “Pardon, pardon,” and afterwards “mercy, mercy”! When as- il About one o’clock in the ked: “Is Jesus near you?” he answered “yes.” following night thelight in the room went out, when he cried : “Bring light, T am going!” When thelamp was rekindled it was found that his spirithad departed. On i the same day his remains were carried to the burial ground whilst the mourning o congregation that followed the coffin sang hymus. The heathens stood still and ask- f ed: “How is it that these people die such a death?” f Br. Ammann the former, and Br. Hartmann the present superin- I tendent of the OrPHANAGE look back upon the past year as upon a il f period distinguished by many tokens of the Lord’s presence among the children. By His constraining grace the majority of the boys, part of whom have not yet been baptized, have behaved as well as the child- L Pt P ) Taeren 4 ren of orphanages at home. The senior boy had been a wicked ct D} boy himself, and had drawn several others into his evil ways. But on the spirit of truth prevailed at last and the poor boys confessed all they had done, and since then their hearts have been more open to the spi- of rit of grace. The boarders have now become used to manual labor, i} even to the hard work of reaping the rice in harvest time. From the i 9th of August to the 9th of September ten pupils of the first class ac- he 0 companied Br. Ammann on a preaching tour and helped to confirm the word of the Missionary by their conduct as well as by answers oc- casionally given to questions addressed to them. They made them- 3 selves also useful in selling and distributing tracts. 15 ITineracy: On the tour just mentioned Br. Ammann was accom- panied by Br. Traub. A few extracts from their journals will give an idea of the reception they met with. They stayed 4 days in the extensive premises of a Jain family, who receiv- ed them with remarkable friendliness. 6 The three brothers, to whom the large f property belongs, are evidently well disposed; they listen gladly and appear to feel the truth of the gospel. Their hearts and lips yield consent, but to break the chains of caste they cannot yet see their way. They refused any remune- ration for provisions farnished, remarking that they were amply rewarded by the visit of the brethren and the glad tidings they had brought to their house. 1) However they accepted a copy of the New Testament and promised to read and meditate on it, “for,” they said, “the word is a good word, but not easily under- stood without meditation.” A relation of theirs, who had come on a visit, re- ceived another copy aud said, he would read it to the people of his village. At Mudabidry and Kérkala, especially at the latter place, the brethren perceived that the leaven of the gospel was working. Many copies of the New Testa- raent and tracts were sold.— The two Catechists Daniel Ammanna and Isaac Sona too, made an extensive tour in the district N. E. of Mulky. Even three members of the congregation visited a number of villages. Their extra expen- .ses were defrayed by the local Mission fund of the Mulky congregation. Many to whom they preached the word objected to it, because it did not show them the way to earn their daily bread without labor. Others thought it quite use- less to preach the gospel, as in the present Kaliyuga (the present sinful age) nobody cared about heaven or hell. Others were more attentive and said to those who refused to listen, “Is there any fault in what they say? Does it not go in the world exactly as they say? Where are the gods and demons? What is it to these people, if we donot receive their message? They tell us the truth, why should we reject it ?” A farmer’s wife put the following questions to the Cate- 4:‘8‘ . chist: ¥Who is Jesus? What have we to believe regarding him? How shall we know, that he is God?” When the history of Christ’s birth and death on the cross was related to her, she wanted to know, what a cross was. On receiv- ing the explanation required she asked again, what relation there was between Jesus and Christ. Answer: He is one and the same, he is called Jesus, because he redeemed us from our sins, and Christ because he is the Anointed of God.— II. SOUTHERN MAHRATTHA STATIONS. DHARWAR. Rev. 0.

The spot near the Mission church, where his earthly remains rest, has been marked by a tomb erected by the Civil and Military Officers of the station as a token of their regard for a faithful minister of Christ. However we hope he has left a better and more lasting monument in the hearts of many, and the land in which his body rests will in due time bear the spiritual harvest, for which our departed brother has continued to pray and to toil. This great loss was soon followed by a severe family affliction and by the sickness of Sr. Kaufmann from which she has not yet recovered. In the beginning of the year four missionary tours were made in the neighborhood of Dharwar. The schools have remained much the same as last year. Several members of the congregation have caused much anxiety and grief by their inconsistent walk and frequent backslidings. PG we There are two Four baptisms of adults occurred within the year. the 1V candidates for baptism, one of them a Brahman in jail. ol On the 15th of September Br. Kaufmann was asked to visit a man in jail 156 of the name of Basappa. The prisoner was about 36 years of age, he had been condemned to death with his two younger brothers. The second of the three after having killed a man in his village who had seduced his wife, had taken The murderer not being found, the elder and the younger brother to flight. were seized, on the strength of testimony given by a number of false (witnesses. After some days however the real murderer was discovered. He at once con- fessed and denied his brothers participation in his erime. However all three were conducted to Dharwar, tried and condemned to death. Basappa declared that he was accused by some men, who hated him, because for 3 or 4 years back he had had intercourse with a Catechist of Belgaum, and had at length resolv- ed on being baptized. He might have warded off this false accusation by a bribe, he said, but would rather put his trust in the omniscience and righteous- ness of God. On another occasion he said: “If I am to be hung or transported, it is but a just punishment to me for having so long allowed two of my neigh- bors to keep me back from baptism. It has come to pass exactly as Mr. Bey- non of Belgaum once told me, that I should get into great trouble for postpon- The ing baptism after I had been fully convinced of the truth of the Gospel”. youngest brother too, though less enlightened, showed some susceptibility for the word of God. The murderer himself for some time seemed to be quite hardened. He freely owned his crime, for which however he tried to excuse I himself. But he was in the greatest agony from the fear lest his innocent bro- thers should share his death. He threw himself on the ground and said: “If this t guilt of having caused the death of my brothers also fall on me, I shall not escape n hell. I know I deserve death (and this he saw the more clearly the more he 16 learnt of the word of God), but they are innocent”. Although his account of the i murder did not at first appear very credible, it was corroborated by the appear- ance and demeanour of the prisoners and proved to be true by inquiries sub- il 6 sequently made. No effort was spared for the deliverance of the two innocent prisoners. The time of suspense, though painfully trying for Basappa, was a b respite of grace to him of God. He now learnt to know more of his own heart and strongly felt the necessity of surrendering himself to the Lord uncondition- d ally. While listening one morning to the history of our Lord’s sufferings, he was struck by the silent endurance of Jesus, and said with emotion: “Now I am aware, that I did not follow the Lord in this particular, In. this I have sinned. I shall not love this life any more, but be satisfied with obtaining eternal life.” He now urgently asked for baptism, saying, his soul would be at peace if he were baptized, whatever the final decision of the court might be. On the 7th of October he was accordingly baptized in the jail and received the L9y name Jesudasa which pleased him much. On the 8th, the news of his and his youngest brother’s release arrived most unexpectedly. Overcome with joy and gratitude both hastened to the Missionary who joined them in praising the Lord, the God of salvation, to whom belong the issues from death. Upon this a great change took place in their brother who was justly condemned to death. “Now, he said, I feel a great burden taken from my mind. I shall die in peace, I be- lieve in the Saviour, who has shown his power in the deliverance of my bro- thers. Hitherto I doubted. Henceforth nothing, not even the death on the gal- lows shall deprive me of my faith. I cling to Jesus. I feel assured, He will not cast me out.” From day to day he obtained a deeper knowledge of his sins, and became more and more anxious for baptism. His desire was granted. The day after the prisoner’s baptism, Jesudasa had an attack of cholera, but by God’s blessing he recovered. On the following day, Tuesday the 11th Octo- ber, Br. Kaufmann accompanied the newly baptized criminal to the place of execution where he addressed a few parting words to him and committed his soul in prayer to Him, who received the thief on the cross. The convert was perfectly composed and on approaching the gallows said to the by- standers: “I am going to God.” All wondered at the calmness with which he met death. The Lord has, we believe, graciously received his spirit. Jesudasa wishes now to live at Dharwar with his wife and three children, regarding whom he feels quite confident that they will fol- low his example. Whether his youngest brother will follow his ex- ample is still doubtful. HOOBLY. Rev. J. Miiller (1839) and Mrs. Miiller (1844). Rev. J. Huber (1858). Catechists: Paul Ndgappa, Christian Chinnoppa.

Again it has happened that seed which had for years lain under ground apparently dead, has sprung up under the blessed influence of God’s Spirit strong enough » L aa Ll to out-grow the tares which thréatened to choke. Fifteen new mem- bers, a large number for a people hitherto very unfavorably dispos- ~ - = G ed towards the gospel, have been added to the list of Communicants. Br. Miiller and his family have enjoyed good health, but Br. Hu- ber has suffered more or less throughout the year and has been com- pelled again and again to try a change of air. Yet he was permitted to see an early fruit of his labor in the conversion of his Moonshee, a young Lingaite. When Br. Huber, after his arrival at the station, looked out for a Moonshi, a number of young men presented themselves. He was led to select the young man in question. At first the new Moonshi did his work in the usual style, but after a while Br. Huber found him better inclined to listen to the truth. The word of God which he had heard from his childhood, being the son of a His conseci- Mission schoolmaster, touched his soul with convineing power. ence was aroused and sorely troubled; for, though scarcely 18 years old, he had entered the paths leading to perdition. The word wrought in him secretly. Only now and then Br. Huber observed that his feelings were excited in an unusu- al degree. When the hour of the Lord came, the hidden seed burst into light. One morning he frankly declared to Br. Huber his firm resolution to become a christian. His parents no sooner heard the news, then they ran to the Mission house accompanied by a number of people, of their caste, intent on persuading him to return to them. The trials of the first day he stood well. His strong attachment to his mother almost induced him to go back, but he over- came the temptation by clinging to the word: If any man came to me, and hate not his father and mother, he cannot be my disciple (Luke 14, 26). The following day his parents with a large following of friends turned to the charge. They could not bear the idea, that the caste of Linga priests, to which the young man belonged, should bear the shame of having produced a renegade. We now asked the magistrate to interfere. He at once sent for the young man and his parents, relatives and friends. They were allowed to reason with him without the presence of a Missionary. At last the magistrate gave the young man an hour to reconsider his determination and then once more desired him to declare his intention. When he again positively asserted, his determina- tion to become a christian, the arbitrator saw that it was time to dis- miss the people. He conducted the young man to the Mission house to our great joy. We praised.the Lord from all our hearts, for having granted so sig- nal a victory to the cause of the Mission. After a few weeks of catechetical instruction the youth was baptized by Br. Huber. Since then the work of the Spirit in him has been evident. We hope and pray that He who has called him may glorify His name in him. W e On the 28th of September, Br. Miiller writes, there was another day of grace, when I had the privilege of baptizing in his own house at Unakalli fa Demappa, a blacksmith by profession, even before the baptism of the four far- a mers and two weavers, mentioned in last year’s report. Demappa had shown himself favorably disposed without, however, coming nearer to us. After that T baptism he made some advances. He used to attend our Sunday services and by by degrees became familiar with the Missionary party. It was mnot long be- 80 fore he asked for baptism. As he was deficient in knowledge, he had to at- 1) tend a regular course of instruction three times a week. Again and again he W most urgently asked for baptism, which he needed, he felt, for his own esta- il blishment in the faith and for taking a decided stand in the face of the world around him. He was faithfully warned of the almost certain consequences of his baptism, the separation of his wife, loss in his trade ete. But after a fort- he night’s consideration he declared himself ready to join the church of Christ, at p whatever risk. I proposed, then, that baptism should be administered to him 1€ at his own house in the village Unakalli. After three more days given to him (4 for consideration, he cheerfully agreed to the proposal and fixed the day of baptism. In spite of his firm conduet I was not free from misgivings, and my tu trust was solely in the Lord, whose ways, though at times dark, turn out glo- rious in the end, when I walked on the appointed day to Unakalli, to baptize th the smith. The male part of our congregation accompanied me. The smithy, which opens towards the street, served us as chapel. It was filled by our christ- ians. Close behind them stood a vast number of people, who had collected he on the ocecasion. After singing, prayer and an address from Matth. 28, 18— A 20. the candidate frankly replied to my questions and bore a courageous and a0 cheerful testimony against the old ways he had forsaken, and for the new way ‘on which he was going to enter. After he had publicly declared the reason of i the hope that was in him, I joyfully administered baptism. Every thing pass- His wife deserted him the moment ed off in perfect order and quietness. she heard of his having resolved on baptism. So he has both to look and to work at his trade. Though no one is yet willing to work under him for fear of loosing caste, his former customers have not deserted him, and therefore there is good hope, that he will not be subject to any serious loss in his trade. There is little hope yet, of his wife joining him again; but He, who has helped hitherto, will not withdraw his hand. On the 4th Sunday in Advent an aged couple, the parents of our carpenter Nathanael, was added to the church. Since their son’s baptism, six years ago, they became gradually more familiar with us, until at length they received strength to leave their comfortable home for the purpose of joining Christ’s flock. They are greatly respected in the congregation and their numerous heathen relations frequently call on them. Lovas of The outward walk of our christians has been consistent and satis- i factory. Some evidently have joy in believing. Others, not so far \! 413 advanced, give at least proof, that they are under the influence of the at word and spirit of God. Public preaching in and about Hubly has nd been carried oni as formerly. In the beginning of the year there was some reason to fear, lest the false interpretation put on the Queen’s A proclamation might prove a hindrance. But no serioug opposition 16 was raised to our public ministrations. And it is our strong convie- tion, that a spirit of inquiry now pervades all classes unknown in for- i of mer times. Within the past year we distributed and sold alarger num- \f ber of New Testaments and parts of the holy Scriptures than in any ab previous year. For any thing we know, the fearful storm of Indian m revolt may be succeeded by the still small voice of the spirit, leading of eventually to the reception of the glad tidings of salvation by multi- 1y tudes. We have a right to pray and to hope for so blessed a change. Who knows it may be near at hand. May the Lord help us to hasten 76 the day of grace by praying and preaching in the power of His Spirit! i The different trades, by which our christians earn their liveli- 18 hood, are in a prosperous condition. Especially our weavers, who seemed to be on the verge of ruin some years ago, have by the kind i assistance of Br. Haller of Mangalore so much improved in skill and y management, that several of them are in a fair way of acquiring a 0 little wealth. h) il t0 of 6 e od L ; i e P e BETTIGHERRY i il Rev. G.

Their progress in knowledge ) is pleasing and their conduct has on the whole been satisfactory. A few extensive MissioNARY Tours and many shorter excursions have been made On these tours we find that the gospel is not sufliciently known to leaven the mass and to create a powerful fermen- fation Especially in the larger villages we always met with hearers The adversaries after a little skirmishing retire to the strong hold of unbelief from which the spirit of God alone is able to dislodge them. Considering the many difficultics the gospel has to encounter, we are surprized indeed at our being as well received as we usually are. For 1ce some months we have been in the habit of giving four lectures in the i week, from 6—8 o’clock in the evenings, in this place and in‘ the neighboring Gadag In these addresses the hearers, sometimes as il many as an hundred, have the claims of the gospel set before them. g, As by this means those who regularly attend have an opportunity to mnd hear the whole counsel of God regarding their salvation, we attach ace great importance to this opening. At the same time we endeavor to el remove many prejudices by visiting those with whom we are person- ally acquainted in their own houses. A young man, who gave much p- ho- promise last year, has yielded to temptation and drawn back, after he Iy had perseveringly saved from his earnings a sum sufficient to purchase ear a copy of the New Testament and taken great pains in learning to read in order to study the word of God. ied n The VerNAcULAR ScHooLs have gone on steadily. Much know- pe ledge of the word of God has thus been stored up in the minds of the young, to find some day, we trust, its way into their hearts, and to jan kindle a fire not to be quenched. But we have to repeat with much fhe grief, that the parents and friends of our pupils often systematically corrupt them, when they become a savourless salt and lose their attach- il mentto us and to our cause. However we mustnot become weary in teach- [3 I'= ing the young in hope. Every year anumber of boys leave our schools: of into whose minds truths have been instilled which though perhaps o1 lost for a time as a desert stream running under ground, may un- e 5#¥ el expectedly spring up some day to transform the barren soil inté a lovely garden. We walk by faith and not by sight. MALASAMUDRA. Br. J. Leonberger (1849) and Sr. Leonberger (1854). Br. F. Hqim (1857). Catechist Christian Suchy. Schoolmaster Lot Géry.

After Br, Hahn had returned from Guledagu- dda in July last invigorated in health, he relieved Br. Leonberger of the management of the farm and the superintendence of the orphanage 50 that the latter had more leisure for mission tours, of which we shall give some account below. The Catechist, Christian Suchy, our constant companion on these tours, proves a most valuable assistant. He has the great gift of a ready tongue and a sharp wit, quick in answering gainsayers, especially Lingaites, among whomhe was a priest before his conversion. He is well acquainted with Lingaite literature and knows how to silence his antagonists by pointing to their life and practices. In the management of his own house he is a pattern to the He has family prayers at noon and in the evening, congregation. when every body is invited toattend. His childlike extempore pray- er, in which every concern of the congregation, all the sick here and elsewhere, the other stations with their missionaries and congregations are specially re.membered, is edifying to every listener. Not from R EN ) 4 economy only, but also for the sake of example he is in the habit of wearing cloth of coarse mater rial, and does not thmk it below his dig- nity to mend them when needed. Friends of missions at home can scarcely form an idea of the extent of influence which such a cate- chist's mode of living has on the members of the congregation. Much as may depend on our own example, still we are Europeans but here they have a native pattern to excite them to emulation Of the congregation we cannot say much this year The appli- cants mentioned in our last report had to be dismissed all except five It became evident that they had come in search of loaves and fishes. Among the members of the congregation, there is some zeal to make the gospel known to the heathens The men are ever ready to accompa- ny us on tours, especially in their own former districts, where they are generally received with kindness by friends and relatives. It is easier to preach the gospel to others than to practiseit ourselves. Every one earns his own bread. They cultivate their allotments of land with diligence and care The women give us more trouble than the men, and the children being sent to work at an early age, do not attend Jat school as regularly as we could wish We thank God for having |~ granted us much light and love of the truth to some at least, as to of render the concealment of vicious or heathenish practices impossible The number of boarders in the ORPHAN HOUSE is the same as last Three children were lately offered to us by their mothers, but s year being too young for our school, two of them were adopted by two I f Christian families, here and at Hoobly The third soon afterwards 1l died The older boys are employed out of school-hours in cooking and other household business, besides working in the garden and the fields gt With the exception of fever in the month of November and December, we 0 have had very little sickness. The children readily answer questions re- d 10 ferring to the word of God and Christian life, but beyond this amount of g knowledge they give no signs as yet of spiritual life The Vernacular School lately opened at Mulagunda, at first numbered 64 boys 34 of whom were Brahmans Our plan of instruction £} which made the stories of the Bible the principal class book, did not suit the latter. They petitioned therefore again for a Government school which e had long been promised to them. This school was no sooner established, then all the Brahmans buttwo left us and boasted of their victory. The Brahmans have now the government school to themselves, whilst ours is well attended by boys of other castes. ITineracy. I have made, Br. Leonberger writes, seven different preaching tours to the East and South-east of the station. We are generally well received. Our hearers are many, troublesome opponents few. Our tracts are liked and bought. The people beg to be visited again andare hospitable to our native companions. This seems to indicate that the old hard groundis being prepared for the plough. Yet we must not be too sanguine as to the future fruitfulness of the soil. The kindness of the people rather springs from natural civility than from a desire after salvation. They seem to feel that Christianity is to prevail sooner or later. They are however, notalittle puzzled by the government acting in a manner contrary to their notions. For they cannot understand how the Sarkar can be indifferent to the progress of its own religion. In November last I met an old well informed Brahman at D. At the close of a long conversation, he said: “Your words are good and noble, we cannot find fault with them. I too am seeking forgiveness of sins and eternal happiness. But it is impossible to at- tain at certainty in these matters. Excuse one question: “Have you really obtained that assurance of which you speak?” Missionary: “Yes, I have.” Brahman: “On what ground ?” M. : ¥On Christ’s word and promise.” When some of the sayings of Christ were read to him, he did not oppose, but went on say- ing, “Idolatry is wrong; there is only one true God. He is to be worshipped by all. We worship only under different names. What do names signify ? M.: ¢ A great deal.” Christ’s incarnation and His last command were then compared with the incarnations of Vishnoo and their religions. Br.: ¥We live in the Kaliyuga, which according to our caleculation will soon be over. It is to last 5000 years, 4950 of which have passed away. Fifty years more, and all the world willbe one caste and worship the one true God.—” In the Koppala district I met with a number of government school boys who wanted to buy a tract called the good Way. On a visit to the school I found 40 scholars, most of whom could read. Their stock of books being very small, nearly all wished to purchase some reading books from us, and when the schoolmaster himselfrecommended our books, every boy bought one or more of our tracts, so that our whole stock of gospels and textbooks was disposed of on that occasion. When we left several of the boys begged us to bring more and larger books next time. g GULEDAGUDDA Rev. G.

Br. and8r. Kies having both been in a weak state of health the burden of the work has pressed harder upon them than formerly. They hope for early help. At the close of the year the lonely Mission house became lonelier still by the departure of the two elder boys who had to join the party which sailed in the Windsor Castle for Europe on the 8th January. Br. Kies, in addition to his other labors, was for some time engaged in building several rooms for his expected eol- league He had the assistance of brethren from other stations who came alternately to his aid. But few have an idea of the weary and irksome work of superintending building operations in these outland- ish parts Yet if we are to live among these people we must build houses Solomon Bhdskara, the Catechist, has been a blessing both to the heathen and to the congregation During a severe illness, from which he ultimately recovered to our great joy, it became manifest how much esteemed and loved he was by all Three children of christian parents and two adult heathens have been baptized. Two couples have been married Last year's report gave the baptism of Beilappa, now Abraham, the first At the same time his brother Hanama showed a fruits of the Mddiga caste strong inclination to follow his example, hut his wife opposed In the mean hile another man of the same caste, called Malappa, who had heard of the christian way from Hanama, came and expressed his desire of becoming a christian A fow weeks later he was followed by his wife, with whom he had lived for six years We received them on probation and gave them lodging Loy in Hanama’s house. e When the latter saw Malappa outrunning himself as it were he felt ashamed of his tardiness and quickly resolved on taking the de- cided step, whether his wife would follow him or not. But lo! encouraged by o the wife of Malappa who was living with her, she too was ready when the hour of decision came. Both were baptized on the 2nd of October. For the other th couple, a longer period of probation appeared necessary. Soon afterwards Ma- fu lappa’s conduct justified our caution. He showed himself a crooked character. On the 16th October both he and his wife left us altogether. Thus it happen- Wi ed that this singular couple had to help in the deliverance of the real converts al whilst they themselves missed the way of life. It As far as our knowledge and observation go, our people are ac- i cording to the measure of their spi/ritual life and experience endeavor- f91 ing to walk worthily of their vocation amidst many trials and tempt- s ations. On the whole we have cause to rejoice over them. The B little church is knit together in love which is the bond of perfectness. ) Only a woman, one of the older converts called forth the exercise of Il church discipline during the past year. None of our people are in want of work or bread. Several have acquired some property, owing d partly to the flourishing state of their trade here, partly to the credit I{ they enjoy among the heathen on account of their honesty and the fe superior quality of their manufactures. ) The ParocnIAL Scroor, conducted by {he Catechist in the mor- bl ning hours, has gone onquietly. A nephew of Shantappa, a boy of ten years had after the death of his father, attended this school for two al years and inspired his uncle with great hopes by his intelligence &) and conduct. But his mother, whom Shantappa had turned out of fi his house because she had disgraced herself by bad conduct, after ha- ving left her boy undisturbed for half a year, came back one day and coaxed him away to the deep grief of his good uncle. Br. Kies could not preach in the country as much as he wished being tied too much to the station. With the catechist and a few of the younger christians however, he visited the heathen festival at Asangy, where a demon priest by walking over or rather through the Malaprahdry river makes the multitude believe in his superhuman power. Our experience among the people has been rather discoura- ging of late. Dull indifference and pantheist%cal contempt of the Gos- A i pel of Jesus seem to reign every where. During the two years of 1857 and 1858 the disturbed state of the country was unfavorable to our work, and now the extraordinary prosperity of trade renders the people purse-proud and selfsatisfied. The better class of heathen L}l; men even are struck with the rapid change for the worse and observe dole- fully that by the great influx of money the general character of the wealthier classes degenerates, that bribery especially increased in an alarming degree. Thus the hearts of the people are little inclined to accept our preaching. Their wealth is to them a tangible token of the divine approbation of their idolatry. When, on the other hand, they feel the rottenness of their moral state, our efforts appear to them hope- less They cannot, will not believe, that christianity possesses the strength, to regenerate a people in reality, to heal their poisoned soci- al system and to lead them back to the paths of truth and righteous- ness. Even they have not the courage, to break through the snares of the flesh and of lying unrighteousness, because they donot sincerely It is desire deliverance from the way that leadeth to destruction. rare indeed that a sincere enquirer comes to us. Most of those who felt the truth, have gone back to sleep the sleep of sin again. How- ever He who has delivered thefew who are gathered around us, from such dreadful captivity and has made them upright and spiritually minded men by many miracles of Grace, our great Covenant God is able to call forth life and health again where we see nothing but death and corruption. His almighty Grace is our only hope for ourselves, for our people, and for the heathen.— WA T s I MALABAR. he h CANNANORE, of WITH CHIRACAL AND CHOVVA. fe Rev. S. Hebich (1834). Rev. Chr.

Early in 1859 the Brethren Hebich and Miiller were the only Missionaries of the Station and had to di- vide the whole labor between them. In February our beloved Senior had a serious attack of illness and was advised to visit the Nilagiri. He was the more inclined to follow this advice as our Home Committee 1; had requested him not long before, to visitall our stations and to spend He left Can- some time at each, ministering to the congregations. nanore towards the end of March for the Hills, not, however, intend- ing to sit still in a more bracing climate but to work for his Master. After five busy months it became manifest, that his health required a Z greater change. His kind medical adviser insisted on his going to Europe without delay. After anxious and prayerful consideration Lo he took his resolve and at once started with a strong conviction in his mind, that there was some work for him at home. fter 25 years of faithful labor in India he embarked at Madras on the 28th of Sep- tember and landed safely at Marseilles within a month. May He, ler who has blessed him so abundantly in this country employ him as a herold of the gospel in Europe and glorify His name in him and through him! Before he left the Hills he wrote the following farewell letter to his Con- gregation at Cannanore: Dear souls, beloved in the Lord Jesus! Grace and peace be with you! The Lord Jesus has thought it good for me to go to Europe, but I hope only for a short time, after which I hope to return with renewed strength and health. I therefore address these words of love to you all. You remember my labors among you, and you beloved at Chovva especially know, how much trouble the care for your bodily subsistence has given me; but now my health is broken. Oh take care that all of you live to the Lord and that you become a source of joy to the servants of the Lord and to-the catechists who .are laboring among you. The Lord will never forsake you, trust in Him and never forsake Him. I wish I could call you all by name, that live at Cannanore, Chovva, Chirakal, and Taliparambu. Rest assured, that I am bearing you all on my heart. Oh, live to the glory of the Lord henceforth, re- membering how much you have wearied the Lord Jesus with your sins in times past, be therefore wholly His, for He has bought you with His own blood. Amen. Pray for me! The Lord bless you with His everlasting bles- sing, and render you a blessing to others! Amen Amen! In Jesus ever yours 5. Bl | To the Catechists in particular he added: May the dear Lord Jesus keep you all unto everlasting life! Take diligent 1- care of the welfare of the whole church, the blood-bought property of the Lord ! Do all that you have to do for the Lord’s sake, and be instant in preaching and I in witnessing before the heathen of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ, and consider well, that you have been heathen also. Oh, what would you be now 0 without the blessed Gospel! Whatever you do, do it in the Lord !— d After Br. Hebich had left the station, Br. Miiller took charge of the congregation, whilst Br. Hanhart took the superintendence of the schools and some of the chapel services. We feel much indebted to the station of Chombala for affording us the temporary aid of Br. Han- hart, who will continueto assistus till Br. Reinhardt, who in company of Sr. Schlunk arrived from home in November last, has acquired some knowledge of the native language. By these new arrivals our hearts 6% — 44 — were much cheered. But this joy was succeeded by mourning. Our i dear Sr. Miiller was suddenly called to her rest. She died in con-~ 1l bR finement on the 6th of January. A short sketch of her life is sub- joined. The Carecaists have been faithful in preaching the word at hea- ft then festivals and on extensive tours as well as in our immediate ff neighborhood. Br.O'Brien has found much work amongst the English €] soldiers, and his labours have been blessed. The chapel was at times i as full as it used to be in former days. Br. Lehmann who for two years and a half had faithfully served f the Mission as headmaster of the Excrisa ScrHooL received a call to Assam, to a place not far from the scene of his former labors, whi- ther he went with his family in December. Mr. Viegas has been trans- ferred to the Tellicherry English School, which was in great distress for want of suitable teachers. By these two departures the school has lost much. The principal cause, however, of the great fall in the number of scholars is the raising of the schoolfee from half a Rupee to a Rupee per mensem. Many boys have gone to the garrison school, where the monthly fee is only four Annas. Eleven youths of the first class have left to take up employments as Agents, Clerks and Moon- shees in various offices. Twenty children and one adult person have been baptized. There are 27 Catechumeni at Cannanore and Chovva, but we do not think them sufficiently prepared for baptism. Nine members of the congre- gation have left us. They would not submit to discipline and were carried away as chaff by the wind. At Chovva we have at last suc- ceeded in establishing a parochial school. The GirLs’ Boarping ScrooL at Chirakal is still without European superintendence. Mrs. Ramawarma and thecatechists are exerting themselves faithfully, but a more vigorous supervision is urgently need- ed. One girl had been married, two have returned to their parents, and 8 new boarders have been received. Br. Miiller has begun a weekly meeting with the catechists, in which the prophet Isaiah is explained. Each time one of their num~ On Mondays BEr. ber has to read an essay composed by himself. e ur Miiller conduets a meeting for prayer and conversation with the mar- = ried men, on Saturdays with the young men. The women used to h- assemble for a Prayer-meeting at Sr. Miiller’s, till she was taken from us. Since Dr. Schlunk has taken the superintendence of the different )a. trades by which many members of our congregation gain their livelihood e their progress is very gratifying. The weaving establishment gives sh employment to 11 weavers and 8 assistants. From the 1st of April o} to the 1st of October the looms produced 3086 yards, the greater portion of which has been sold at a good price. The carpenters are d fully occupied.

Herre, the burden of the work which fell on the Brethren L g il Aldinger and Burkhardt became unusually heavy. The former had the care of the native church, the orphanage, the printing establish- b W ment and the preparandi class, while the latter, when he somewhat mastered the language had to take charge of the English school in the place of Br. Herre. In December last Br. and Sr. Irion returned fi from the Hills, and were heartily welcomed by the brethren and the congregation. Though Br. Irion’s health was considerably improved, € f the health ofhis partner appeared so completely undermined as to for- bid a longer residence in India. Sr. Irion therefore, after 15 years of faithful service joined the party on board the Windsor Castle. It I is the Lord’s mercy that Br. Irion is able to remain at his post at a time when the Malabar-district has been deprived of two of the Senior Brethren within 4 months. Twenty five souls have been added to the CoNGREGATION; 81X Were adults, seven were boys from 6—14 years of age. and ten infants, the rest are orphans and two christian servants newly employed. 5 orphan boys have returned to their respective stations after confirma- tion and a family with 4 children have left us for Udapy where the fa- ther is engaged as head-servant to the Brethren. Two of our people have accompanied our worthy Judge, Mr. Frere, to Madras. Among the newly baptized are two young fishermen, who after many a hot contest came fully out from heathenism and showed great decision of character when they had once severed the ties of family and caste. As they had beforehand acquired a good knowledge of the Bible, it was a delight to instruet them., Their whole mind and heart was given to the word. Since they have been baptized, their zeal in spreading the truth, dear to their own hearts, is so striking, that we cannot but cherish a strong hope, that they will prove a bless- The ing to their heathen neighbors and the people of their caste. church had another addition in the person of a lad who having fre- quented the Cannanore mission school resolved on becoming a chris- At tian and came here to escape from the hands of his relations. first he appeared not very promising, but now he shows pleasing signs of a heart touched by Grace.—In connexion with the conversion of the two fishermen we notice a pretty general movement in the fisher- Ay d men’s village, where Cornelius, the first convert of this caste, has been bearing testimony to the truth as it is in Jesus, for the last 15 years, i Even his own family re- without any one following his footsteps. 16 mains unconverted to this day. However, it may be looked upon as d a fruit of his testimony and consistent walk, that he lately was allowed (¢ to establish aschool inthe village at his own expense, which is attend- ) ed by 40 children, and at the same time serves as a preaching station to the Brethren, who by the heathen themselves have been invited to preach to them regularly. Large crowds are in the habit of assem- bling at the school and of listening attentively, and some have ex- pressed a desire for special instruction preparatory for baptism. If the religious life of the congregation, committed to our charge, were compared with that of an ordinary country parish at home, we think the comparison would tell in favor of the Indian congregation. The attendance at church on Sundays and during the week is good so that we have felt inclined to say to each other: It looks as if new life were springing up among our people.” They show a great interest in the awakenings and conversions among the heathen. Besides the general prayer meetings in the church separate meetings are held for men and women. Most of the church-members are attached to the missionaries, as we had a good opportunity for observing at the de- The Bible is read and the parture and return of Br. and Sr. Irion. family altar erected in most houses. That there is some zeal for the conversion of the heathen we have had a proof in the 18 Rs. contri- buted by the congregation and in the crowded attendance at the 25 years jubilee of our Indian Mission on the 25th of October 1859. The PrEPArRANDI-CLASS has given us much satisfaction. ‘What was said of the pupils in the last report, has been confirmed by the experience of this year. Their progress in knowledge as well as in spiritual life has often been striking. The missionary zeal of the pu- pils exhibited itself strongly on the occasion of the conversion of the two fishermen, who in their severe struggle felt themselves greatly supported by the prayerful sympathy and heartfelt interest the young men evinced in their case. Three of the most talented and spiritu- ally advanced among them have been selected by the brethren and e invited by the Home Committee to the college at Basel as students, to be thoroughly trained for their work. They have left by the Wind- sor Castle. The Exarisa Scroorn has given much anxiety. The number of scholars has been greatly diminished on account of the establishment of roman-catholic opposition-schools, the inefficiency and dismiss- al of assistants, and by the bad health of the head master, Br. Herre. The OrpHANAGE has had a good year. Though frequently visit- ed by sickness, we have not one fatal case to record. The progress made by the children in knowledge and their good conduct has been Some a source of joy to us. They are familiar with Bible-history. of the elder boys have thoughts of becoming catechists, and a few of those, who formerly passed through theschool, have been received into the new Preparandi-Class just opened. This fact surely speaks well for the orphanage. Eight of the boys are soon to receive special in- struction to prepare them for confirmation. Their teacher, Esra, has on the whole done well. Heis in his element among the boys, and these €L on their part are much attached to him. hil The Vernacurar Scmoons have been going on as usual. We fi constantly receive new applications for the establishment of such schools, which cannot be all acceded to; but here and there we are pri- | vileged to see some fruit produced by them. The schools are regu-~ larly visited by the catechists. G After Br. Schoch had been transferred from Canara to Mala- bar, he made it his first business, to inspect the different weaving es- tablishments in Malabar. On the whole he is pleased with the pro- gress made by our Christian weavers. At this station 15 christians i are engaged in this trade and the produce of their looms last year was 3972 yards with a variety of 41 designs.— jé I LeaAg 5, CHOMBALA. I Rev. E.

Hanhart, who went to Canna- nore to relieve the brethren there. A farther diminution of laborers took place, when Sr. Diez fell seriously ill and had first to remove to Tellicherry, and then to the Nilagiri. However, it has pleased the Lord to let seed sown by Br. Chr. Miiller 12 years ago, spring up at last, and to bringseveral souls to the knowledge of Himself at a place called Muveratu, 8 miles south of Chombala. Two men of the Tier caste obtained 12 years ago at the heathen festival of Kirur a copy of the New Testament and some tracts from Br. Miiller, who had come to preach there. One of these men, Kunyiyecku by name, at once began to witness by word and deed against the sin of idolatry, and endeavored to find some men, likeminded with himself, to read the word of God and pray to- gether. Being a physician by profession, he easily found access to all houses by his courageous and decided turn of character. An other, Cherya Chutten, more timid and circuraspect, tried on his part to lead a righteaus life and, while occasionally giving expression to the convictions of his heart, commenced reading the word of God and performing prayer in his own house. He joined Kunyiyecku and attended his meetings, as often as he could, on the other side of the Muveratu river. By this means a small number of enquirers were gain- ed, who used to gather round the missionaries when they visited the Wada- gerry school and the catechist located there. In 1851 Kunyiyecku ap- 7 il jols plied for baptism but was prevailed upon by his relations to return to theni. Soon after a brother of his, and a brother of Cherya Chutten wished to join the 1ot church, but yielded to the entreaties of their people and drew back. In the year top 1853 one of the little company could not refrain any longer but became a chri- il stian, yet neither of the two above mentioned men mustered courage to join wen him. pil In January 1859 Cherya Chutten asked the missionary to come to his house in order to see his sick mother, who wished to die a christian. His re- it her quest was complied with, but the mother recovered and her other children in- terfered and kept her back. On the 15th of March Cherya Chutten came to mol Chombala, determined this time on being baptized at any price. Anxious and ay Tiey fearful of being unable to persevere, he urgently entreated us to cut off his hair-lock at once and to baptize him soon, as he believed in Jesus Christ. Tri- ed bulation soon followed. - His youngest brother wrote him a letter full of sto- ries about his mother being-ill, his children dying etc. On his sending a mess- joir. enger to enquire the brother came himself, and seeing his lock of hair gone, at lost courage to dissuade him, but rather admonished him to remain with us th till after his baptism and confessed that his letter had been a fabrication. On 2in the 27th of March Cherya Chutten was baptized with 9 others, when his hea- of then name was changed into Samuel. Soon after his baptism he returned to Yl\ his relations according to his own desire. They received him quietly and his W mother, who was glad to have her son again, promised to join the christians K too, in case the other sons would make up their minds to accompany her. The de latter declared themselves ready,if their wives would follow them. Samuel’s he wife, Ajja, with her two children wished to remain with her husband, with % whom she had lived from her childhood. Her own brother took her to Samu- to el in spite of much opposition on the part of her mother and sisters. The Mop- fo lah, whose house Samuel had been renting, allowed him to stay and exhorted th him not to forsake his wife. After this, Samuel’s eldest brother, the head of tw the family, came and took his wife and children away and brought them as wi- t dow and orphans to her mother and brother, saying: “Here they are; you can- not now say, that I have not done my duty!” Even this was of no avail. Ajja I just passed through the house and going out again by the backdoor returned W o her husband. By this bold step the enmity of the relatives and neighbors Al was roused, who from that time refused to have intercourse with her, as she, ) they alleged, had communion with the Bible people, to whom nothing was un- h clean, and therefore forbad her to draw water from their well. She now draws her water from the Moplah’s well without molestation. But the heaviest trial was yet to come. Her eldest boy, 9 years old, was instigated by the enemies, h not to allow himself to be touched by his parents and neither to dwell nor to eat with them. The poor deluded boy was very stubborn for sometime ; but at last he was reconciled and returned. He now visits the missionschool at Wadagerry., The enmity against Samuel and his wife did not abate yet. Aj- L her, ja’s confinement was at hand; all the midwives in the vicinity were persuaded 1 the not to come to her assistance, even her mother was removed to some distance year to prevent her rendering aid. But onthe 19th of the same month the mother re- chri- turned of her own accord, and when her castepeople refused to receive her, she join went to her daughter and declared that she would become a christian. On the ) hi 20th Ajja’s younger sister came also to see the mother in spite of her husband’s S 16- interdict. He therefore locked the house when she returned and compelled | 1 her to sleep in the Verandah. When she asked for her baby on the following e t0 morning, and got a refusal, she went about in the neighborhood for two. days and crying and lamenting, until Samuel invited her to come to his house if she be- F hig lieved in the Lord. She accepted the offer cheerfully, but the child was adjudg- Tri ed to the father for the present. to: Kutty, the brother of Kunyiyecku had been for many years thinking of 688 joining the church. The heathen knew his plan and watched him closely, till )1, at last strange to say Kunyiyecku, who lived in the same house with him, 1 18 thought his hrother was wavering toolong and quarelled with him on the eve- On ning of the 31st of July on that very account. The noise attracted the notice 104 of the two elder brothers who came and vehemently abused Kutty. But Kun- 110 yiyecku, though himself still a heathen said in their presence: “The cause, to his which Kutty adheres is good, but it is not right of him to waver so long.” Now Ans Kutty saw that the Lord had opened a way for him. The very next day, he he declared his readiness to become a christian to the catechist and the day after o he found his way to Chombala and asked for baptism. Kunyiyecku sent to th ask his pardon for having treated him so harshly, and at the same sent word i to say: “You have laid hold on that which is right. Hold fast.

The day after he returned to Muverdtu accompanied by two catechists. of Many people came to see him and showed a friendly feeling i towards him, only his two eldest brothers refused to have any thing to say to s him. During his absence at Chombala his wife had asked her own people to receive her back, because Kunyiyecku also had a mind to become a christian. l]a ed When Paul made search for her, she sent him their little boy 8 months old, I8 and declared she would never follow him, to which her father added, that if i she would do so, she should not be allowed to touch him at his funeral. When i he afterwards paid a visit to his mother, she began to cry on seeing his bald WS head. However he comforted her by saying, that he was born without that il hair and that it had been cut off once before, when he was ill; now however, he had parted with it for a good purpose. ub From Wadagerry five souls were added to the church.

The christian schools have not been well attended on account of much sick- ness prevailing among the children. From the same cause the heathen schools have suffered considerably. The brethren as well asthe catechists have made several Mission- ARY TOURS varying in duration. They have met with a rather indif- ferent reception. There have been exceptions, however. On one occasion about 20 people were assembled in the compound of a Tier, listening to the preaching. One of them said at last: “How can we know what is true, if we are not told, and why have we not been told before?

Not the least of our trials was the serious indisposition, long absence and final departure for Europe of Br. Fritz, who for 18 years had been the Senior of the station, and under whose care the three congregations belonging to Calicut have grown up. The young- er brethren of the station comfort themselves with the hope that Br. Fritz may in time return with renewed health and vigor. Sr. Gun- dert too, who had managed the Girl’s Boarding School with much love and zeal, was compelled by ill health to retire to the Nilagiri for a season. She returned with her daughter, but shortly after had to prepare for her final departure from India. The school now depends on the services of Anna, the wife of Catechist Subaya. On the 25th o L of September 1859 14 souls were baptized by Br. Convert at Calicut. One of them is a weaver, who after a course of careful instruction, which he attended with real profit to his soul, was added to the church with his wife and two children. Another convert is a blind man, who in the days of his health had been a servant at Mangalore. His wife and eldest daughter died shortly after their baptism. During the time of instruction he had shown a hearty desire after salvation. A third 1s the father of our head weaver. A severe illness was the means of awakening him. In others the spirit of God is not working in vain. They wish to be disciples of Jesus and pray for His spirit. May He establish these young souls in His Grace to the glory of His Name! A young Nair about sixteen years of age one evening came to the gate of the mission premises. When the catechist asked him, why he had come, he said: “Here is the truth. I want to become a christian. He was received on probation and is now under instruction, after having by his own confession led a wandering and vicious life. An other Nair who at first promised well, left us again after a short trial. If at any time, it was during the last year, that our christians had an opportunity for proving whom they had chosen to be their Lord. Besides the absence of Br. Fritz, whose influence was much missed, the congregation felt the chastening hand of God by much sickness and an unusual number of deaths. The ravages of cholera, of which two members died, were the means of evoking a spirit of prayer among old and young. Those of the converts, who have obtained employ- ment in the Government offices, show a laudable interest in the wel- fare of their poorer brethren, by providing situations and other means of subsistence for them. On the occasion of Br. Fritz's departure they showed deep attachment to their beloved pastor, by presenting him with a handsome token of their remembrance, which cost them more than two hundred Rupees. An unlooked for event of the year is the establishment of a good ANGLO-VERNACULAR ScHooL which is frequented by 80 boys. It owes its origin, under God, to the encouragement and liberal assist- ance of an esteemed friend of the Mission. There is one little anecdote which we must not leave unnoticed. A rich Nair in the neighborhood of Kodakal voluntarily offered a CaBE piece of ground for a school, and erected the house almost entirely at his own expense. It is now attended by 20 children, but the neigh- bors are still suspicious of its object. The carpeNTERS' sHoP under the superintendence. of Br. Lauffer, and the WEAVING ESTABLISHMENT under Br. Schoch continue to prove a blessing to the mission, the first giving occupation to eleven christi- The an men and boys, and the second to an equal number of hands. produce of 10 looms during the year has been 4532 yards, which al- ways meet with ready sale among Europeans, East Indians and Natives. Several MissToNARY TOURS have been undertaken by the brethren in the vicinity of Calicut, and through the Wynaad, almost everywhere they were well received by the people. PALGHATUT. ‘Rev. J.

The chasten- ing hand of the Lord haslain heavily upon the Palghaut station. Soon after the arrival of Sr. Strobel, she was seized with sickness and short- ly afterwards Br. Strobel was laid low by severe illness. On the 18th of May Br. Strobel had to be removed to Coimbatore in a precarious state, in order to obtain efficient medical attendance. Christian friends received him there most kindly and did all in their power to allevi- ate his sufferthgs and to facilitate his recovery. Dr. Miller, though a sufferer himself, continued to do all that medical skill and unremit- ting attention eould effect, till at last the Lord was pleased to raise our sick brother up and to grant him a speedy recovery. However for W a thorough reestablishment of their health both the young invalids had to visit the Hills, where their residence has been so much blessed to them that in the middle of February 1860 they were able to return to their station. Meantime the work was carried on by catechists who preached in the markets and neighboring villages. Paul Ittirarichen proved, under trying circumstances, a faithful servant of the Lord, and during the illness of Br. Strobel a true christian friend and selfdenying as- sistant. The Excgrisa ScHooL, which was in a promising state, had to be given up in June, for want of superintendence. Yet in the face of these soretrials we do not cease to believe, that the Lord has thoughts of love and peace towards us and our station. He is Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, to day and for ever!

Wiirtele supplied the place of Br. Kittel (who was transferred to the Coorg Mission) than it became more and more apparent, that the failing health of the two elder brethren rendered them unequal to the performance of their share of labor. Br. Metz had for some time tried to hide from himself the real state of his health. Atlength e however it became evident, that his constitution required a radical change. He therefore, with a heavy heart, consented to abide by the counsel of his kind medical adviser who recommended his return home. He left Kaity the day after Christmas after having once more admini- stered the Lord’s Supper to the infant congregation. He indulges the hope that after a time the Lord will permit him to return to his'belov- ed hill people. Br. Moerike also was laid aside from active work for several months by a protracted ailment which compelled him to repair to Coonoor in order to be constantly within reach of his kind physician. Towards the close of the year he was permitted to return to his station; his health had considerably improved. We desire here to return our hearty thanks to Dr. Leslie of Coonoor, who has most kindly and disinterestedly given his valuable attendance and counsel to the members of the Nilagiri Mission and the many invalid Brethren and Sisters, who have resorted to the Hills, under pressure of illness. Man’s extremity has, in the case of the Nilagiri Mission, been God’s opportunity. Contrary to our own expectations, yea almost without our own labor, our little Badaga congregation has increased from two to fourteen members. Two whole families now belong to the church, and live among their heathen neighbors as a light in the Lord. The Lord has laid the foundation ofthe Badaga church. The hopes and prayers of the late Mr. Casamajor, the generous founder of the mission, and of many other christian brethren have after 12 years received a gracious fulfilment. This is the Lord’s doing, it is marvellous in our eyes. May He, the great Masterbuilder, who with His sovereign hand has laid the first stones, continue to select from among.the Badagas many a lively stone for His holy temple! The Verxacurar ScHooLs, though fewer in number than at the beginning of the year, have been consolidated under the uninterrupt- ed superintendence of Br. Wiirtele. A pleasing fruit of the late bap- tism is, that three Badaga girls have of their own accord begun to learn reading and writing in the evenings after a day’s work in a coffee plantation. A few extracts from the journals of the brethren will throw additional light on our position amongst the people,to whomwe have been sent. 8 Br. Metz writes : There are indications of an approaching decision either for Christ or for Satan among the Badagas. At an idolatrous festival it occurred, that the head- man called the people together in the presence of the missionary, in order to worship the God of the padre. In offering up a prayer the man, a heathen, used the following words: “Lord, (some uttered the name of Christ also) grant us pardon, Lord, let the harvest be a good one, fill our hands and our houses, and shut the mouth of the dragon-like worm!” On his last tours and farewell visits to the various districts he informed the people of his intended return to Europe, but assured them, at the same time, that even at such a distance he would not give them rest but pray for them until they yielded themselves to the Saviour. When taking leave of one of the headmen near the temple of the village, he knelt down with him and offered up a prayer which was volun- tarily repeated after him, and when they rose from their knees tears stood in the man’s eyes. The Toda even begin to feel uneasy at the spread of light and talk ofleaving the hills because they are no longer permitted to perform their eruel funeral rites without restriction. Br. Moerike gives the following particulars of the baptisms: When the two first Badaga converts, after a three months banishment, had returned to their families, God put it into their hearts, at once to commence daily family prayer, to which they invited the heathen members of their families, and they continu- ed to do so for a year and a half. The two eldest twin daughters, who accord- ing to Hindu custom had been engaged in childhood and after the baptism of their father had been removed by the relatives of their intended husbands to prevent their loss of caste returned to their father’s house with the declaration, that they would rather become christians with their father than marry heathen husbands. From that time these girls used to attend family prayer regularly with the younger children, and by God’s blessing they soon profited so visibly, that they asked for fuller instruction to prepare them for baptism. After many months of strong opposition to the wishes of her daughters, the mother of the larger family yielded at last so far as to give her consentto the special in- struction of her. children, and at times was not only present but exhibited a growing interest in the lessons herself. About the same time the mother of the second family placed herself and her daughter under instruction. Yet for the whole month that this special instruction was given them daily in an un- occupied house of the Badaga village these two women seemed undecided, till at last at the very end they received strength to conquer their prejudices and to be baptized with all their children. All that were baptized on the 25th of Septem- ber and on the following Sunday amounted to 12 souls. Such has been, un- der God, the fruit of family prayer and of the consistent walk of the two first eonverts. W g Br. Wiirtele ascribes the decrease in the number of scholars at- ¢ tending the Canarese schools partly to the indifference of the parents 0 who see no pecuniary advantage in learning, partly to their dread of Iy the influence of the christian books read by the children. Of late, 16 More however, there has been a great improvement in this respect. ) applications for the establishment of schools have been made than we I can comply with. Several schoolboys have, no doubt, felt the power of the word of God, butevery art is used for keeping them from an open profession of faith, One of these lads has gradually qualified himself for the office of schoolmaster, which he f now holds in his own village. To him the first convert, Abraham, owes much of his knowledge of the word of God. His acquaintance with the word and, An- as it seems at times, his inward convictions make him almost a christian. I other schoolboy, about 14 years old, one day confessed, thata few days before, i when he had read the history of our Lord’s passion and death, and contem- plated the sufferings of Jesus in his mind, he had wept and resolved on asking for baptism. His father, an open enemy, on perceiving that something was working in his son’s mind, took him away from school and sent him to a rela- tion employed on a distant coffee plantation. Some time after he returned home and obtained permission to go to school, but his father and the great enemy of souls have so far succeeded in their attempts to deter him, that for the present at least there is little hope of the poor boy escaping from heathenism.

Cols s sl S B ics st v iniss ) In January 1859 Br.vMoeinng returned from Europe to Mercara and Almanda, again a member of the Basel Mission. Ten days later he went to attend the General Conference, at Mangalore. On his way thither and still more on his return journey he exposed himself too much to the sun and had to suffer from a nervous fever nearly all Fe- | bruary. When sufficiently recovered he took up his post at Mukkaty, now Anandapura, where the congregation had settled, and prepared i a select number for baptism. This little band consisted of seven men with their families, altogether 42 souls, which were to receive baptism about Easter time. Finally Palmsunday was fixed upon as the day of baptism, partly from the hope we entertained, that Br. Kit- tel, who had been chosen by our Home Committee to become pastor to the new congregation, might arrive from the Hills in time to be present at this laying of the foundation of the Anandapura church. Br. Kittel arrived on the 15th of April and assisted at the baptism on the 17th. On Easterday we celebrated the Lord’s Supper with the newly baptized adults and some English friends who had come on a b visit. h Soon after another little company applied for baptism and was accepted. The second baptism will, we hope, take place at Easter Ll 1860. Having failed in building a moresubstantial house before the Monsoon the brethren lived in the future outhouses of the >ission house behind mat-doors and windows. They conducted morning and evening prayers, had when ever practicable catechetical instruction at noon, and divided the Sunday-services between them. The rest of their time was given to the study of old Canarese and Tamil. Oncea week Br. Moegling visited Almanda, where his family lived with Br. and Sr. Sauvain. Thus some weeks passed quickly and happily. But afterwards fever made its appearance and the brethren suffered from it alternately. Towards the end of June Br. Kittel became so ill, that he had to be carried to the house of Br. Richter at Mercara where he remained duringthe severest rains, Dr. Prichard most kind- ly attended him there. In August he returned to his post in health and vigor and resumed his preaching visits to the houses scattered in our neighborhood. It was a matter of some importance that the brethren should keep their post in spite of rain and fever, Br. Moegling therefore continued to stay at Anandapura. Our congre-~ gation were pleased to see, that they were dearer to us than comfort and health. Our presence and our medicines have helped to keep the congregation in better health and spirits. Not one of the adult died in the monsoon. In November only we had two deaths, one at Anandapur aud one at Beppunadu. In the beginning of September Br. Moegling accompanied his fa- mily to Mercara for his wife’s sake, who needed a change of air and medical attendance. In October the Brethren Moegling, Kittel and Richter made a preaching tour to the annual Coorg festival at Talakaveri. They were accompanied by Br. Finckh who joined them with his preparandi class from Mangalore. As early as October 1859 a fresh attempt at building was made at Anandapura, but in the midst of great difficulties and with so little success that till February 1860 only the foundation of the Mission- house was laid. Before the close of the year Br. Moegling had to accompany his wife, whose health rapidly failed, to Mangalore, where she and the LiEe children embarked for Europe on board the “«Windsor Cé.stle.” He returned from the coastin ill health and has had a weary time of sick- ness and inaction since. The Anandapura congregation it would be unjust to complainof. The newly baptized on the whole have done well. All, eventhe oldest men are diligent in learning to readin order to acquire the ability to peruse the Bible. They meet in the schoolroomin the evenings for this purpose. When an invitation came from Mangalore,to send boys to the prepa- randi school there, all rejoiced in so good an opportunity, and five boys were offered, three of whom were received. The female part of the congregation has not yet received the attention they need. The new parish is still waiting for a pastor’s wife, whose assistance is indispens- able, if instruction, discipline and order are to be introduced into houses and families. May the Lord supply our wants in due time and grant unto us those gifts of grace which we need for ourselves and for our people! Of the adult scholars who attend the night school, four have learned to read. The oldest of them, Abraham, who is up- wards of 60 years old, said to Br. Kittel who had asked him, if he found it difficult to learn: ¢In the name of Christ I shall yet succeed in learning to read; how ill would it become a christian, not to be able to read the word of God!” The Excrisa Scroown is doing well. The regular daily attend- ance is 60, more than half of whom are Coorgs. There might be many more of the latter class considering the numbers of the Coorg population. But there are several obstacles; omne 1s, that very few Coorg families reside at Mercara, wherefore Coorg boys from the country have some difficulty in finding board and lodging. A There have been four general desire for education is not yet felt. public and private examinations during the year. Two of them were held by the Government Inspector, who was pleased with the gene- ral proficiency of the scholars. At the close of the year 1859 the first class consisting of 7 youths left the school. Some have obtained Government situations, some are employed on coffee plantations, one has entered the preparandi class at Mangalore and one has gone to Madras to finish his education there. SRR {5 e o OBITUARY. (= Caroline Salome Mook was born on the 24th of May 1814, the 3rd of 15 children. Her father, J. Ph. Mook was merchantat Langencandel in the Pala- 16 tinate. The care of the younger members of the fi'ge family, only four of i} whom survive, soon engaged the lively little Caroline, who early acquired that 56 habit of cheerful unremitting activity which distinguished her to the last day of her life. However even then whilst she performed the manifold duties of a large household, the words and example of a godly man, Mr. Koehler of Strass- burg, who occasionally visited the family, made a deep and lasting impression ) on her heart. In the year 1851 she lost her father, who died a true believer. 16 She was now sent to the well known girls’ school at Kornthal in Wiirttemberg. “T There she made the acquaintance of that excellent and godly man, Father Hoffmann. )= Her stay at Kornthal did not last long. The mother, who after the death of her husband had taken charge of a free school, required an assis- 0 tant and found all she wanted in her own daughter Caroline, who eventually succeeded her in the management of the school. The young schoolmistress d was so completely abhsorbed in her work, that she gradually lost the good im- , pressions received in childhood and led, as she herself afterwards acknowledg- ed with sorrow, a life without Christ and without hope. Her school became her idol till a faithful minister, the Rev. Mr. Haerter of Strassburg roused her out 6 from spiritual sleep. He came to visit the school, examined the children and took notice of every thing. When all was over and he was going to leave he patted Caroline on the shoulder and said: “I am pleased with your school, Miss "Mook, you are very zealous and think you are doing your best, but I find one great defect, you do not allow the Lord to work in your own heart, or those of the children.” These few words uttered with great earnestness and love prick- ed her heart. She stood thunderstruck and could not say a word in her de- fence, but felt she had fully deserved the rebuke. Now her eyes were opened, t she saw her lost state, and after aprolonged struggle obtained that peace which passeth all understanding. Having received grace her calling became her joy and happiness. She had no more thought of any merit of her own, but rejoic- ed in the free grace of God. Thenceforth she not only taught her pupils at school, but visited them in their houses, preached to their mothers and estab- lished little working meetings for the Mission here and there. Thus prepa- red for the missionary calling, Miss Mook was engaged by the Ladies’ Society at Basel in 1842 to go to India as schoolmistress. In the year 1844 she mar- ried Br. Chr. Miiller at Tellicherry, where she labored with great devotedness among a number of Portuguese children whom she daily gathered around her, and visited a heathen girls’ school which her husband had opened in the town. In the year 1849 she accompanied her husband to the new station of Chom- bala, 8 miles South of Tellicherry, where a congregation of 30 souls had been Wia At once she threw herself heart and established in a remarkable manner soul into the work of instructing the female part of the congregation and of educating the children. Eight years were thus spent among a growing con- gregation to whom her faithfulness, diligence, zeal and love were greatly bless- bt ed. In autumn 1857 she had to exchange her beloved Chombala for Canna- nore, whither her husband was called to assist Br. Hebich. On the 27th of Sep- tember the bell which she had procured for the little church on the hill, called the congregation together for the farewell meeting, after which Br. and Sr. Miiller took leave of their beloved congregation bathed in tears. At Cannanore shehad to go through a school of suffering and self denial, in which she rapidly ripened for the joy of her Lord. During the year 1859 she often expressed a presenti- ment, that the Lord would soon take her away, and without abating in her wonted cheerfulness and energy she frequently appeared absorbed in thought On the 5th of January 1860 she rose in the morning as usual at 5 o’clock, but did not leave her room Her confinement was at hand. At nine she lay down and said to her sorrowing husband: “I believe my end is at hand. Ask leave of the Committee, take the children home, or send them, if possible, with the On her husband’ assent being given, she party now ready for embarkation said: “Now I can calmly and cheerfully die, for I know that my Redeemer li- veth.” She desired to have a token of remembrance sent after a friend who had recently left Cannanore, to leave a few keepsakeés to her children at Basel, and to give contents of her working box, in all 25 Rs. and her clothes to the poor at Chombala Havine arranged these things, she awaited her end with calm- In ness and fortitude and was much engaged in prayer for the whole day the following night the dreaded hour came Her sufferings were very great In vain did her kind physician call in two of his Colleagues to give their advice and assistance However even during the last fearful struggle passages like these: “The blood of Jesus Christ, the son of God, cleanseth us from all sin,” “These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed heir robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb,” were on her lips and #a her heart, until all pain ceased and she breathed her last in the morn- ing between 8 and 9 o’clock. In the evening of the same day her remains were accompanied to the burial ground by the native congregation, and the Bre- thren Fritz and Hoch who spoke at the grave, the former in Malayalam, the latter in English, from the words: “If thou wouldest believe, thou wouldst see the glory of God.” A deeply afflicted husband and six children mourn their Marvellous are the ways of great loss, which is felt by the whole Mission the Lord, dark and mysterious at times but in the end full of grace and truth.— Al Western Africa. The Gold Coast of Upper Guinea is the first field of foreign Missions on which the Basel Society have entered and which in the midst of many sore trials and great vicissitudes they have been enabled to maintain to this day. The last years’ report of the Basel Committee opened with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord for having given them many proofs, that they have not in vain labored, prayed and waited for many a year: There are unmistakeable evidences, they said, of the mighty in- fluence which the Mission exercises over the Negro tribes of the Gold Coast. Many a time, it happened in the course of last year, that we were amazed at the news of the African mail, reporting unexpected and ra- pid changes which, we had imagined, could not take place before the lapse of years. Those who interest themselves in the African Mission have to learn patience, and to be satisfied with slow progress. This lesson we have been taught by the painful experience of many years. The greater is now our joy at the unexpected successes of the past year. However our warfare with the powers of darkness in that part of the world is far from being ended. The war between the British and a rebellious chief, an enemy at the same time to our cause, has led to the ruin of our new station at Odumase. Quite lately our brethren have been informed of instances of human sacrifices for the dead of- fered in spite of the prohibition of the British Government. Neither is the slavetrade yet put a stop to within the limits of our Mission di- strict. Br. Aldinger writes: ¢The slave trade which wastes and im- poverishes: Africa has not yet received its death blow even on the Gold Coast. For several weeks past we could see children, boys and girls from 10 to 15 years of age driven by Christiansborg to Akkra market. The price of a strong and healthy youth is 50 Dollars.” Three of our brethren and one sister have gone to their rest. These are painful bereavementsin afield so full of Missionary graves. Notwith- standing, neither the Committee nor our brethren have wavered in faith. The hands of the remaining laborers have been strengthened. An ex- perienced laborer has returned to Africa accompanied by two new 9 i e brethren and one sister who is engaged to one of the brethren there. Three brethren, who had been seriously ill, and one of them a suffer- er for years, have been wonderfully and completely restored. The latter has felt strong emough to decline several invitations to come home. In comparing the last census of the African mission with that of the previous year we find an increase of 40 adult members. The number of catechumeni is 89. There are 61 heathen scholars. The grand total of persons connected with the Mission has increased by 207 souls. Another circumstance clearly justifies our expectations of a more rapid development of the African church, the striking in- crease in the number of native assistants which has doubled. In the seminary then there were eleven pupils who have since become ca- techists. In their place 22 new boarders have been received into the institution, and the brethren hope, that in future a new class may be received every year. If this hope be fulfilled even partially, we may look for great things within a few years. We may be able to throw our nets farther and farther without augmenting the European agency, and the country may be filled with the sound of the Gospel in every direction, especially ifthe Lord baptized our Afri/can brethren with spirit and fire from above. A 10 less important branch of our work in Africa is FEMALE EDU~ caTioN. In three different localities (Christiansborg, Aburi and Akro~ pong) there are 112 Negro girls educated by European schoolmis~ tresses and missionaries’ wives. In connexion with these girls insti- tutions we have to mention the encouraging fact, that a number of protestant ladies in Russia have taken a deep interest in them and largely contribute to their maintenance. The desire for christian instruction and the preaching of the gos- pel is constantly spreading. No less than four villages in the vicini- ty of the principal svt'ations have been supplied with catechists and schools. At Late, a place near Akropong, formerly one of the least promising localities, a congregation of 26 souls has lately been gather- ed. The Catechist Edward Samson writes, as follows: — B o { e “1 will iot say much in praise of our Christians, our Catechumeni and scholars, but I must let you know that we have commenced building a school- Some fetch water, others house and are greatly assisted in it by our people. prepare loam, a third party goes to cut grass. When others ask them why they labor in this way without pay, they reply, “we do it for christianity’s sake and because we want to learn.” I observe them very closely and have to find no fault with them. I therefore continue to pray and ask the Lord, to whom all power is given, that He may keep them from the power of Satan who would The chief too continues friend- drag them back to their former wicked ways. 1y towards me and the school.” Among those who were lately baptized at this outstation, is the heir apparent of the chief. Perhaps this village, so often oceupied and as often abandoned may become the first place in the Aquapim hills, where a christian is called to the management of public affairs. At any rate the formation of little congregations at our outstations is of the utmost importance. If the number of converts continue to in- crease in the villages, heathen customs and heathenism itself will re- ceive one blow after another, until the day when it must be decided who is to rule over men’s hearts and minds, Christ and his word, or the prince of darkness and the wiles of the fetish-priests. China. Br. Lechler is still at home for the benefit of hisrhealth, but fully engaged in advocating the claims of China in churches and lecture rooms., He has also translated the gospel of St. Matthew into the popular dialect of the Chinese language, and printed it in Roman cha-~ racters according to the Alphabet of Prof. Lepsius at Berlin who His most kindly offered to carry the translation through the press. only Colleague, whom he has left behind in China, Br. Winnes, has since borne the whole burden of the work. ‘He will, ere long, bé join- ed, and comforted by Br. Martig, who left Basel in October, and paid our Western India Stations a visit on his way to China. Lilongis now the most hopeful inland station where the native congregation in the 9% il long absence of their European pastors during the late war, have pros- pered beyond expectation. Our Committee therefore have gladly con- sented to make Lilong the head quarters ofthe Mission, as soon as practicable. Br. Winnes writes of his visit to the long deserted little flOCk, of Lilong and the neighborhood. When we reached Lilong on a Friday afternoon and approached the chap- el, which had not been touched by the heathen during our two years absence, the people residing near the chapel soon espied us and came running to meet their old friends. One of them was old Chin-si-pak, whose leg had been brok- en by the kick of a horse on the day of the attack at Pukak. He came to meet me leaning on a crutch. The sight of the man touched my heart. But when he pressed my hand with tears in his eyes, and called out in Chinese:my pas- tor comes, my pastor comes! and all the rest, young and old, received me with affectionate joy, I was so overcome, that I could not speak to them for some time. I then went with my companion, Br. Hanspach of the Barmen Mission, to the little room on the top of the chapel, which the christians had put in or- der for us. Here we felt soon at home. From the time of my arrival to our departure I had daily visits from members of our congregation. They showed us much attention, kindness and love, and provided us plentifully with fowls and eggs. Sunday was the 4th Advent, a lovely day. The whole congregation as- sembled together. Parties of christians came from Pukak, Ha-tshun, and Tong-hong-kang, and the chapel was crowded. This opportunity for preaching to so large an assembly brought the responsibility and importance of my call- ing forcibly home to my heart. I preached from the gospel of the day which was the testimony of John the Baptist, and my dear companion gave some catechetical instruction. After service I shook hands with such churchmem- bers as I had not seen before. The Lord’s Supper I could not celebrate with the congregation, though many desired it, because I could not stay long enough to make full inquiry into their individual state of mind and their conduct du- ring our long separation. I wished to reach Hongkong before Christmas, where I intended to administer the Sacraments. I believe it was wholesome for our people as well as for us to have been separated for some time. The congre- gation has [stood firm although some individuals have fallen away, but their places have been filled up by new converts. They have shown me great at- tachment and kindness, which comforted me much and completely won my heart, though in former days they had often tried my patience. Christianity has struck deeper roots in the hearts of many than I was prepared to find.. At any rate we have here a good starting point whence to carry the Gospel through the country. The Hakka congregation at Hongkong under Br. Winnes’ charge consists of about 30 people, 8 of whom are pupils living under his own roof. The Committee’s report on the Chinese Mission closes with these words: “If we had more brethren and more means at our dispo- sal, we doubtless would send more than one missionary to China. Per- haps the spirit of the Lord will soon raise up men here and there, who do not wish to live tothemselves but to the Liord and feel constrain- ed in the name of the Crucified to carry the message of peaceto the Chinese. If it be so, let them make haste, for the days of sowing ‘are numbered. Soon the harvest day will come, the day when the wine- press will be trodden. Then it is too late!”— D e CONCLUSION. The changes which have come over India have tend- ed on one hand greatly to multiply the demands on the liberality of the liberal, and on the other to impair the resources of the Kuropean community. We ac- knowledge with sincere thankfulness, that among the many applicants for pecuniary assistance our Mission though a foreign Society has not been overlooked. Du- ring our past official year, up to November 1859 the Indian contributions of our Mission have amounted to the sum of Rs. 870. 11. 11. frommembers of native congregations, — 7820. 6. Donations from our English friends, 3743, 14. 10. Subscriptions toward Schools. Our Home Committee had during the financial year of 1858 received from Switzerland, Germany and other parts of the continent a larger amount of donations than in any previous year. On the day of the last anniver- sary there was an actualsurplus of 21,000 franes in the Basel treasury. Since then, however, the decrease of subseriptions, especially within the last two quarters, has been so great, that according to the latest accounts the Committee have been compelled to raise a loan of nearly 8000 pound sterling for meeting the current expen- ses. Under these circumstances our Indian Friends will par- don us if we appeal with greater urgency than ever for the continuance, yea increase of their liberal support. Our Western India Mission has completed the twenty Lo fifth year of its existence in this country. It has, under (Glod’s blessing grown slowly but steadily. Native congregations have been established and show signs of vitality, in Canara, the Southern Mahratta coun- try, the Malayalam and the Nilagiri. The Mission is no A number of our Breth- longer a problem but a fact. ren lie buried in the country of their adoption. A na- tive ministry has commenced to rise by the side of the European agency. We have taken a fair share in the literary labors of Indian Missions. The population of our districts have had the gospel preached to them and the name of Jesus Christ has become familiar to the heathens around us. The time of greater successes, we trust, is approaching. Shall it be said, that the German Mission was liberally supported by the Christian Community of India only while it was a novelty, and that when it had taken root when its work began to tell on the people and its influence to be feltin the country, its former friends ceased to take an interest in its progress, or that after one generation of zealous and loving supporters had been removed, no successors were found for them among the succeeding generation of British Residents? We hope better things of the Christian Community of the present day, and trust, that our British Brethren and Friends, though their means may be somewhat im- paired in these days of retrenchment will enlarge their hearts and devise still more liberal things, as they see the day approaching, when the battle of the Gospel and Name of Jesus, against the powers of darkness in India g will be decided. We would not take one Rupee from the resources of any other Missionary Society in India. We heartily desire that all should prosper, and if Chris- tian liberality do flourish more abundantly, all will share in the blessing. Yet, if the poorest are to be helped first, the: Basel Evangelical Missionwith an income of 25,790 Expenc Pound Sterling, and three Missions in Western India, Journi Western Africaand China, carried on by 102 European Munsh (atech Missionaries, and a staff of 96 Native Agents has a strong claim on the support: of those who long forthe Postagt day, when the Gospel shall be known among all nations.
