SRR o During the last twelve-month we sometimes heard the remark made here in India that our Mission had come to a stand-still. How- ever different the opinions might be about the causes supposed to be lying at the bottom, the fact itself was asserted to be undeniable and We do not-mean as such granted by all persons competent to judge. to decide the question by referring to the Census of our Missions, knowing that in the kingdom of God figures are of no such importance as in wordly business. We would rather look at the inward features and qualities of our work and attempt to give a tolerable insight into the real state of things by laying it all before our friends by means of this Report, so that every one may be enabled to pass his own judg- ment. At any rate we venture to say that upon the whole the work was carried on regularly and steadily. Though there were no strik- ing events to be recorded, there has been some increase in the number of Christians at most places. Though there were no tangible proofs of a great movement or revival, we were not left without signs of the working of the Spirit in the hearts of the church-members everywhere. Those of course will feel somewhat disappointed who have expected and looked for ¢ great things,” and do not find their expectations realiz- ed, but who knows if the Lord does not still mean to tell us: Seek them not,” and bids us go on with patience and faithful labor, sowing, planting, watering and praying for the day of harvest which in spite of all appearances to the contrary will not fail to appear at the time He has appointed ? At home too, it is true, a similar impression seems to prevail and was even given utterance to at the last anniversary (4th of Jul)‘r 1860) o vin these words of the Report of our Home Committee : “The year now past has been disﬁnguished before many by an extraordinary calmness spread over our Indian Mission field so much agitated at other times. And the history of our Mission in Western Africa, although showing a greater variety of events, bears much the same character, as we do not meet with any occurrence affecting and influencing the Mis- sion in a more than ordinary way there either.” That calmness abroad would appear the more striking, as about the same time there was an exceedingly great stir at home caused by one of our Missionaries who had proceeded to Europe on account of his health, our well-known Br. Hebich. His stay at Basel and his preaching there which he did carry on for some time without inter- raption, we have reported upon last year. Soon afterwards, on the 24th of January 1360, an actual tumult broke out in the church during one of his sermens, which brought the full rage of the enemy to light, and on that occasion as well as in the public discussions ensuing, the thoughts of many hearts have been revealed. Br. Hebich was preaching with great earnestness on the subject of the self- righteous and the unrighteous, Pharisees and Sadducees, according to Matth. 8, 1—12, when an uproar commenced in the gallery. Several men rushed out tumultuously slamming the doors behind them. Butnow a great shouting arose in the body of the church, in which one might catch words like these: “Down with him ! out with him! Pull him down from the pulpit.” Mr. Hebich unable to proceed gave out the second verse of the opening hymn “Follow me, says Christ, our chief.” After the singing, some order having been restored Mr. Hebich went on with his text, reading V. 10. “And now also the axe is laid un- to the root of the trees ete.” “This is a plain word, he said, these are not the words of a man, but God speaks them.”—Again a shout was heard, a single but really devilish shout: “Down with him.” Mr. Hebich went on coolly say- ing: Let us now read Isaiah ch. 40, 6—8. Whilst he was reading the uproar increased again, when one of the Missionary students ascended the pulpit and whispered something into Mr. Hebich’s ear, whercupon he closed the Bible and Most of the male auditors remained in the church in offered up a short prayer. order to see dear Mr. Hebich home who had shown a high degree of selfposses- i sion and intrepidity; for no one knew what were the intentions of those who stood outside the door.¥* It is sad to think that such a violent outburst against God’s truth could occur in a Christian city like Basel. Yet the object these dis- turbers were determined to bring aboutin such an unruly manner namely that the sermons should be discontinued, was not accomplished after all except for a very short time, and even in the Great Council the motion directed against Mr. Hebich “thatthe government be requested to prevent further desecration of the pulpit” has been rejected, so that Br. Hebich’s liberty to preach was established by the highest authority of the canton. He then set out on a preaching tour throu O oh Switz- erland and some parts of Southern Geermany, including his own native o town, Ulm in the kingdom of Wiirtembe 1.67 preaching everywhere in the same fearless and heart-stirring manner. verywhere he found crowds of hearers, and it pleased God to bless his straight-forward testimony against sin by causing many consciences to be stricken, and at the same time many hearts were attracted by the powerful state- ment of God’s good will toward men manifested in the gift of His Son. He has also met with much bitter opposition here and there. At Zurich the enmity broke out in a similar uproar as at Basel, and some of the mob are said to have fully intended to give him a beating, but by the providence of God some friends helped him to a speedy escape. Whilst newspaper writers and pamphleteers are quarrelling about him, he continues his course in the name of the Lord from townto town and from village to village, followed, as we hope, by the prayers of all wh love the appearing of Jesus Christ and his kingdom. 'ty In reference to our home affairs we have further to mention, that the new Mission College at Basel, of the necessity of and preparations for which our Friends have read in our reports of the last two years, has"by God’s grace been finished and occupied in the month of g @ *Quoted from a small pamphlet printed for the information of friends, under the title: Debate in the Great Council of the city of Basel, Switzerland, e).i O August last year. It was the Lord who gave our Committee the means for this considerable outlay, so that none of the funds subscribed for the Mission work have been applied for this purpose. Having such a much enlarged building provided for them by special gifts and legacies, the Committee were enabled not only to increase the number of students to more than eighty, but to amalgamate the College and Preparatory School as well, dividing the whole into three sections, each containing two classes under the charge of two teachers, and these again under the general superintendence of the Rev. J. Josenhans the Principal. A statement of the financial position of our Society and some par- ticulars of its work in Africa and China will be found at the end of this report. Western India. The “alarming exodus of old and tried laborers” which we had to report last year, was not yet at an end even then; for only a year after, we have to mention the departures of two of our oldest brethren, Chr. Irion and J. Ammann, together with Br. Plebst and Sr. Moerike, all alike B, compelled to seek the restoration of their health in Europe. Moegling, the Senior of our Mission after Br. Hebich was gone, had left us even before them, as his health also had been rapidly giving way. They all have taken the overland route in order to reach the cooler climate as soon as possible. The Senior of the Cannanore Station, Br. Chr. Miiller, being under the same necessity, preferred the longer voyage which he thought more favorable for his health and on the 10th of January 1861, embarked on board the Windsor Castle, the same ship which, in 1860 had had on board some Brethren and Sisters with twenty one Missionary children, and by God’s providence, had brought them to Europe not only safe and sound, but at the same time Never before such a consider- in an extremely small number of days. able number of our brethren had been home; however we cherish the — 1 9 (2 POREON hope that some of them at least may be enabled to return by the end of the present year. We think it right here to remark, that most of those who are now absent have labored in India for long periods, some even from the commencement of the mission. Therefore the necessity of The census their return to Europe for a season was to be expected. of our European laborers actually present at their stations is, we are happy to say, notwithstanding these changes, about the same as last year, in consequence of a large reinforcement sent out to make up for the losses. But if we look at the whole staff of the mission, we find that the younger brethren are now far outnumbering the old and ex- perienced hands. We pray the Lord of the vineyard Himself to make up for our losses by filling those who remain with alarger measure of His Spirit and endowing them with real love to souls and zeal for the growth of His work and kingdom. With great joy and thankfulness we welcomed the arrival in Octo- ber 1860 of eight Brethren and seven Sisters. The Brethren ap- pointed to different stations are the following: Three for the Malabar District: Br. Bergfeldt to Cannanore, Br. Schauffler to Calicut, Br. Metzger to Palghaut. Two for Southern Mahratta: Br. Brunner to Dharwar, Br. Krauss to Malasamudra. One for Canara: Br. Riehm. One for the Nilagiris: Br. Thumm. One for Coorg: Br. Stokes. The Sisters are now married to the Brethren H. Kaundinya, F. Kittel, J. Lauffer, P. Convert, A. Maenner, Chr. Wiirtele, and G. Burkhardt. The whole party of fifteen persons came out at once by the overland route, and we had much reason to thank the Lord for graciously preserving and guiding them during the voyage. They R 14 — safely landed first in Bombay, then most of them at Mangalore on the 31st of October, exactly the same date and place which saw the first beginning of our Mission in this country, twenty-six years ago.—The station of Mangalore, which may be called the social centre of our In- dian Mission, as most of our people arrive at and depart from this place, saw another large assembly at the end of January 1861, when the seventh General Conference was held. In the various meetings the special reports of each district of our Mission were read and com- mented upon, some important subjects were discussed according to the propositions made by the Home Committee, especially the subject of a sound native literature so important for the work, the state-of and mode of conducting English Schools, Vernacular Schools, Orphan houses and The result of an examination of the general superintendence of them. four catechists trained in the Tellicherry school was approved of by the Conference, and their appointment to different stations in the Ma- labar District ratified. One of them has been stationed at Koilandy, another at Chiracal, the third at Chombala (temporarily at Tellicherry) anld the fourth at Calicut. Our old complaint of the want of a numerous native agency re- mains the same. Yet if the Lord gives us grace, after some years the state of things will alter and we may look for a speedy increase of laborers. The Preparandi School at Mangalore contains three classes now, the school at Tellicherry two. The plan of our Committee is to collect a new clags every year, till we shall have four, and then to establish a higher school, properly called Catechist School, into which the best youths of the two Preparandi Schools would be received. The schools now existing are mostly ojceupied by young and unripe lads, it is trae; but we canmot but hope that some of them at least will prove fit for the work, although it may seem doubtful if all our extensive plans for training Catechists can eventually be carried out. A time of peculiar refreshment from the presence of the Lord we had in the sceond week of January this year, the prayer-week of bless- £ — 15 — ed memory. For we rejoiced in spirit to know that so many Christi- ans all over the world were united for prayer, which not only we the Missionaries, but our congregations as well heartily joined in by hold- ing special daily prayer-meetings everywnere. We trust that this holy effort has not been void of some wholesome though at presentlidden in- fluence on the heathenish darkness around us, for we know that prayer- ful Christians especially are the salt of the carth and the light of the world.

In February 1860 Br. Plebst was compelled to seek a cooler climate to recover his strength in some measure.

Mangalore in due time to take up his former labors which he carried on faithfully for seven months more, and then only at the beginning of 1861 delivered over charge of the whole printing establishment to Br. Hunziker, whose health had been somewhat strengthened on the Hills. So by God’s grace the printing work has been carried on with- out any lengthened interruption, the failure of health coming as it were only by turns.—Towards the middle of the year we had an un- expected accession by the arrival of Br. Kittel who had been sent to the coast, as the climate of Coorg where he had constantly suffered from fever, evidently did not agree with him. Now and then he suff- ered from it even at Mangalore, but on the whole his health did gradually improve, and after having assisted in the English School for some time, he was at length directed to devote his time principally to the prepa- ration of tracts and other books for the Press.—Br. Kaundinya too who had been transferred from the Catechist Institution to the English School, had some interruptions of his work there. He had to go to Anandapura, where his presence was so urgently required, by the wants of the infant congregation, that he stayed there during the Mon- soon. Then having returned to his post at Mangalore he was subse- quently married to Miss Reinhardt, a native of Southern Germany who had come out with the party formerly mentioned. At the same time Br. Kittel was married to Miss Eyth. Br. Riehm joined the industri- al department and assists now Br. Pfleiderer in the performance of his manifold and arduous duties as General Agent of the Mission. We have been weakened in number for a season, by Br. and Sr. Hauff having been compelled by ill-health to go to Mercara, yet hoping to return after a few months. The General Conference with its daily evening-services, the cele- bration of the Lord’s Supper preceding it and the large Missionary Meeting immediately following, besides the cordial and brotherly inter- course enjoyed during those days was refreshing and encouraging to 3 18 — everybody who was privileged to be present. The Lord’s blessing was evidently upon us. After three days’ sitting in conference (21—23. January 1861) the Mission- ary Meeting was held on the 24th, with an attendance as large as could be ex- pected, not only from the Mangalore congregation, but from Mulki and Udapy too. Four Missionaries and four Catechists addressed the interesting assembly in the Tulu, Canarese and Malayalam languages. Although the speaking oc- cupied three hours and a half, yet glancing at the happy faces of the hearers one could perceive that none deemed it too long. Br. Kaundinya gave some account of the Coorg Mission, Br. Irion compared the present state of the Mangalore and Malabar stations with the small beginnings which were to be seen when he came out to India nineteen years ago; the Catechists bore witness of the changes brought about by the Mission and with great earnestness admon- ished their own people to walk worthily of the Gospel by which those changes were wrought as well as to take a part in the work among the heathen.—The collection amounting on that occasion to Rs. 68 is a large one indeed, consider- ing the limited means of nearly all our Christians. At this as well as at other times it became evident that our Mis- sion Chapel was far too small, as many boys and girls had to sit out- A side; to say nothing of the precarious state of the building. A new chapel of an enlarged size must of necessity be built, and as the great- er part of the congregation is now located on Balmattha hill near the town, a site has been selected there for the purpose and building ma- terials are being collected. We beg leave to recommend this want and undertaking to the special remembrance of the Friends and Sup- porters of our Mission. The ConarEcATION generally has shown an orderly conduct and has made one step more towards an effective organization and management of its own affairs by the election of a presbytery of six elders, amongst whom are three Catechists. The elders have divided the station into districts among themselves each one having to visit from time to time the members of the congregation residing in his district and all are expect- ed to report the result of their visits at a monthly meeting. We wish to draw the attention of our friends to this fact as showing the grow- ing interest of the riper members of our church in its progress and pros- perity and as manifesting at the same time a greater sense of their own responsibilities, and therefore beg the prayers of all who share our joys — — 19 as well as our sorrows that they may be truly blessed in this important work. The Catechists of whom we never had a superabundance in the Canara district, are principally occupied with their labors in the church and among the heathen, yetnearly all of them find time to teach in Paro- chial Schools and in the Catechist Institution. The increase of the con- gregation has been small. 23 souls were received from among the heathen. MissioNARY TOURS were made by Br. Biihrer, whilst Br. Hauff re- mained in charge of the congregation during his absence. In Febru- ary and March 1860 accompanied by two Catechists he went to the South and to the East of Mangalore, visiting all the principal places bl staying at each from three to five days and preaching daily in Tula or Canarese. He had bard work during those five weeks and met with many gainsayers, except at Panimangalore where the people listened exceedingly well and purchased many books and tracts. The number of hearers at this and other places frequently amounted to 60 or 70.— In November and December Br. Biibrer visited the eastern parts of the Mangalore district again accompanied by some Catechists and a num- ber of youths of the Preparandi School. Br. Kittel also has lately made a trip to the South, and so we rejoice to think that on these oc- casions much good seed has been sown also this year, remembering too that at Mangalore itself bazar-preaching has been carried on (except during the Monsoon) several times a week by Missionaries and Cate- chists. Yet it is chiefly with regard to itinerary preaching that we find the number of the Brethren rather too small, although superficial observers may often think us to be too many. The PREPARANDI $CHOOL Was carried on regnlarly and steadily, and for the first time, with two classes, consisting now of 19 boys and youths. Br. Finckh assisted by Catechist Samuel Ammanna had the management of it, the lessons being divided between both. No case hag oceurred which grieved or discouraged us, but the conduct of the pupils At the end of in general led us to hope well of their future course. 1860 two boys left the school, the one on account of bad health, the other from disinclination to the discipline of the institution. A new plain building has been erected for this school and finished in March ()}. Z) Lo 186 1, when a third class was formed and Catechist 8ebastian Furtado employed in addition to the former teachers. Four of the pupils are Coorgs, the rest Tulu people, but instruction is given in Canarese which alone they all understand. May the Lord, who has increased their number, grant us also an inward increase of His Spirit and presence among us! The overcrowded state of fhe GirLs’' BoarpiNg ScHOOL made us endeavour to procure some relief by giving back 10 of the girls to their parents and at the same time by establishing a day-school for them and others'ata convenient spot becauseit is near their houses. But although this new Balmattha school numbers 20 scholars, the in- crease in the Boarding School has been such that even now there are three more pupils than last year. One girl who had long been sickly died, another was dismissed on account of incorrigible disobedience. Oof the two superintendents only Miss Will was present in good health throughout the year, whilst Sr. Hauff was obliged to leave in January 1861, and during her absence Sr. Kittel took charge of the school. The Exerise ScmooL had the disadvantage of many changes. Br. Kaundinya was repeatedly called to Coorg and consequently Br. Mack left almost alone, except when for a time assisted by Br. Kittel. The fifth class had to be given up for the present. Although Br. Kaundinya did return to his Mangalore work after the Monsoon, he suffered from Coorg fever, and consequently, much as his heart was in the school, where he himself had found the Lord years before when a pupil, he could not resume his labors for some time. Happily Br. Mack’s health stood his work, and considering all these circumstances there is no Much the reason to be dissatisfied in looking back on the past year. same might be said of the Vernacular Boys’ and Girls’ Schools. In the former the number of scholars rapidly increased on the appoint- ment of a new teacher more respected than his predecessor. The Printing EsTasrisument had a good year beyond all expec- tation. Although at the beginning of 1860 there was a great want of manuseripts ready for printing, yet especially by Br. Moegling’s great efforts and Br. Kittel coming to our help we soon got afloat again so that Br. Plebsﬁ had the satisfaction to leave the business with a good — 21 e hope of its future prosperity.

Ammann, though weak in health and deprived of his partner for a season, continued to labor with the brethren of this station during 2: the whole year, when at home residing at Mulky, but frequently oc- cupied with extensive preaching tours in the country. Br. Briegel generally had the charge of the congregation, to set Br. Ammann more free to devote his time to literary labors and itinerating, whilst Br. Hartmann took the superintendence ,of the Orphan house and the other schools. Towards the end of the year the latter visited Manga- lore and Mercara, in order to improve his knowledge of English, for which he had scarcely any opportunity at Mulky.—At Udapy Br. Ménner continued at his duties throughout the year, and was marri- ed on the 15th of November, to Miss Zerweck. Br. Traub fell sick early in the year, and after trying changes in search of health first to Mangalore, and then to Agoomby on the Ghauts was at last sent to the Nilagiris in February 1861. May the Lord enable him soon to return! In his extensive MISSTONARY TOURS Br. Ammann has cast the seed of the word on a wide field, and in most places met with a patient and attentive hearing. Especially whilst he prayed for God’s blessing previous to addressing the people, most of them listened respectfully. Yet there were gainsayers too; once at Gocarna two men even ven- tured to preach to the preacher, as if endeavoring to convert him to their religion. The chief places which Br. Ammann thus visited with the word of life are the following: first Udapy where he met the Bre- thren Biihrer and Minner accompanied by three Catechists at the great heathen festival, On that occasion they delivered all of them for five days every morning and evening, about forty addresses which the people listened to more willingly and quietly than in former years. Thence Br. Ammann travelled to the North and visited Goearn a, Sircey, Kollura and the Nagara Division of the Mysore country, when he was compelled by several attacks of fever to return to Honore and from there to Mulky. In many places he was received as an old acquaint- ance and could often perceive with joy that the word had m ade a last- ing impression and that the people conversed among themselves about what they had heard. We therefore often feel called upon to think of a permanent occupation of some place in those districts, either by re- suming the station of Honore or by taking up a new station at Sircy. e A But as yet we do not know how to afford it,nor do our Committée, who The other brethren of the have had the same desire for inany years. I station as well as the catechists have made occasional preaching ex- cursions for shorter periods and brought the Gospel to the heathen around them. The ConarEGATION had not only li ftle increase, but the brethren were even grieved by several backslidings. At Udapy four adults and at Mulky two families consisting of ® persons were admitted by bap- tism. The old members went on in a quiet way, not entirely void, we hope, of spiritual life, as asign of which we gladly mark the family- worship practiséd in nearly every house as well as the congregation prayer-meeting regularly held on Wednesday evening, in which many members join for social prayer. We regret to add that two cases of gross sin were brought before the church at the Uchila outstation. A deceitful Brahman, Obadiah, who had backslidden in some former year, re- appeared in the month of June and begged to be admitted again; but on hear- ing that he would have to submit to church-discipline, he soon went away again saying that the Lord had not commanded Peter to sit outside for having denied him. He omitted to give the whole truth which was that Peter repent- ed and wept bitterly and was kept humble all his life-time by the remembrance of his sin.—Br. Briegel relates a remarkable incident of a devil’s priest named Jaru, who came to the Mission house at Mulky, professing himself inclined to become a Christian. No sooner had he deeclared his intention than a fearful struggle ensued with his wife who seemed to love him tenderly and had fol- lowed him thither with other relations. When Br. Ammann was going to pray with the new confessor, she interfered with heart-rending lamentations, crying: «Don’t pray, don't pray! What wrong have I committed that you treat me in this way? Why do you cut my throat? Don’t pray, oh don’t pray !I” She really seemed to have guessed something of the power of prayer. By all this the man was not moved, but on the following day cut down the holy tree before his house, when a new storm arose against him. His old father and sister were erying pitifully, whilst his wife was preparing to go away as a widow. Br. Ammann and Briegel addressed the crowd; but the poor man was carried away into his brother’s house, to be secured against our influence, and since that day we could not learn anything more of him. It is hard indeed, yea impossimc with man, to break through such fearful bondage! After the departure of Sr. Ammann the care of the OrruAN Bovs’ Scuoon chiefly devolved upon Br. Hartmann who has devoted himself Gt o] to this fask with much zeal, but had to go through some more than ordinary trials. At the end of August the sad discovery was made that a wicked boy had seduced the greater part of his companions to very evil practices which they more or less indulged in secret. The indignation of some who had not yielded to the temptation and by whom the sin was brought to light, was such as to give some comfort, amidst our sorrow, and all of them appeared to be stricken in their consciences, when the seducer was punished and removed. After that the school went on in an orderly manner, the boys learned their les- sons and did their work in the school as well as in the garden. and field obediently, their teachers at the same tine helping them on faithfully; but on the 20th February 1861 it pleased the Lord to lay us low again, for in the early morning of that day the whole school with all its outhouses was destroyed by fire occasioned by some care- lessness of a woman. The thatched roof could not be secured against the flame anywhere, and as the building joined the Missionhouse by a passage we have to thank God that this and the church were spared. It is aloss of more than 2000 Rs. and it will be hard work merely to procure a tolerable shelter before the setting in of the monsoon. Br. Hartmann who alone of the Brethren was present at this melancholy occurrence, has had no other choice but to lodge the 42 boys in the mean while in the church. May the Lord who even in chastising has shown his kindness by preserving all lives, raise us up again and move the hearts of our Friends to help the afflicted! ‘1 i el I.SOUTHUERN MAHRATTHA S'l‘Ak'l‘lﬂNS.

There is a hard and seemingly unfruitful soil indeed and the past year even more than others reminded us of this sad fact by a gradual decrease in all the figures mentioned above. Br. Kaufmann, if any of our Missionaries, may be tempted to say, L have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and it is only by faith in the promises of God that he isstill enabled to continue sowing without casting away his confidence, though for the present there be very little prospect of a harvest. At the beginning of 1860 he was obliged to accompany his part- ner to the western coast and to stay there for more than three months, on account of her impaired health. The change of air, under God’s blessing did her good, and she was enabled to return.to the station with renewed strength and even to bringhelp to the Sistersat Guleda- gudda and Bettigherry for a time when it was wanted. In the month of November we felt Br. Brunner’s arrival from home to be a further refreshing. He is now preparing for the work by the study of Canarese. The small CoxarEGATION has become smaller still by the miscon- duct of the former Catechist and Schoolmaster, who being resentful of his dismissal endeavored to create some disorder among the church- members and gave us no rest till he was fully excommunicated, to- gether with another family which he succeeded in persuading to.side LRI 1 with him. There is now no Catechist nor even a Christian teacher for the Parochial School. Some members of the congregation seem to have taken to heart the lesson taught by this time of trial and to awake from their former indifference, in another good impressions were wrought by family afflictions with which the Lord visited him. An old man, formerly a drunkard, when onhis deathbed asked at last for the things belonging to salvation, confessed himself tobe a great sinner and shed tears of repentance. Even such fruits as these we must count as something in a barren mission-field like this. Three prisoners in the jail continue to receive instruction once a week. The Brahman mentioned in last year’s report though very attentive still, has not yet sufficient courage to confess Christ openly The two others give less hope and evidently desire much more their bodies to be unfettered than their souls. One of the Verxacunar Scmoowns has a sood teacher. the other have lost theirs by the schoolmasters entering the government service. But as a hopeful sign we may mention that a night-school has been established three months ago, which is zealously attended by fifteen youths, from fifteen to thirty years of age, and Br. Kaufmann who pays a visit to each school at least once a week, trusts especially with regard to this new one, that their Bible-reading will not fail to have / some blessed effect on their minds and hearts I EACHING TO THE HEATH formed a principal part of the work at Dharwar, but regular excursions could not be made expressly for this purpose On his journey to the coast and back again however Br. Kaufmann both found and seized many opportunities of speaking to the people here and there about the one thing needful, but in general met with great indifference which is often a more hopeless state than real opposition. The case of the Dharwar Mission, this was a point agreed on also at our last General Conference, when the whole ques- tion was discussed and the causes of this spiritual drought inquired into—is quite a singular one, and, we should add, a desperate one, if we did not know that “the Lord’s ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts than our thoughts.” SNSRI S 4% e e HOOBLY.

Br. and Sr. Miiller have been graciously preserved in good health during the year. The CoxerEGATION on the whole is doing well. 'We have no par- ticular reason to complain about their walk, if we consider their former heathenish state, although we may still be wishing to see many things altered by and by. There is family worship twice a day in most houses. The services are regularly attended, and a zeal for the Mission work is manifesting itself not only by means of contribu- tions, but, what says more than this is the interesting fact, that now and then some of our Christians of their own free Wﬂ\l make a tour ARG g together, sometimes accompanied by a Catechist, at other times by themselves, selling tracts and preaching the word to the people in the neighborhood. The Catechists also do their work in the Parochial School, the Vernacular Schools, and public preaching, much to our satisfaction. Thirteen souls have been added to the congregation, but not all of them are baptized as yet. There are some catechumeni at Unakallu, a neighboring village, who, we hope, will be a source of comfort and encouragement to the convert of the previous year, the blacksmith Daniel Derpappa who in his lonely position has to go through many trials, but is, we are glad to say, fighting his fight manfully. Although no persecution properly so called did arise against him, the men of his village harboured under the outward appearance of kindness and civility a most intense hatred, and by secretly forbidding every body to have any in- tercourse with him, not only deprived him of all workmen for some time, but even prevailed upon the washerman and the barber to deny him their services, which these persevered in doing, for fear of losing their other customers. There is hope, however, that these difficulties may yet be overcome by friendly means, and besides it is a great encouragement to Daniel, that his wife, although a heathen still, at last consented to live with him, yea accompanied him to the Mission premises lately, a step formerly abhorred by her to the utmost.—There are some more souls at Unakallu who know the word of God and are convin- ced of its truth, but the bonds of family, trade, and caste have hitherto prevent- ed them from coming to a firm resolution. Pusric PreacHING was carried on regularly at Hoobly itself as well as in its immediate neighborhood, although the Missionaries from the above mentioned causes had no leisure to make more extensive preaching tours. There are heathen listeners too nearly at every Sun- day-service in church, f [ Wy BETTIGHERRY. Rev. G. Wiirth (1845) and Mys. Wiirth (1853). Rev. W. Roth (1857) and Mrs. Roth (1859).

Yet in spite of these apparently great drawbacks the work of the Liord has made some progress. Into the ConxgrEGATION we have joyfully readmitted the former Catechist Paul Badawa, as he has given unmistakeable proofs of true repentance and has received grace firmly to believe, that his sins are forgiven in the name of Jesus Christ. He has sought and, we trust, found the Lord during the long season of trial after his fall, wherefore, according to St. Paul's admonition, we did not hesitate either to forgive and comfort him.—One of the three catechumeni, a weaver, had been a regular listener to our bazar-preaching for some time and after having repeatedly applied to us for admission was at length received after mature counsideration. Another who had been formerly with us for a year and was gone back again has repented of his backsliding and gives us hope of his wife also following him. The third is a young woman, who having been ill-treated by her husband, stole into the house of one of our Christians and hastened to take adraught of water there, for the purpose of breaking her caste. May it please the Lord to guide her as well as the other two candidates to the water of life! ahl @ The Orruax Girns’ Scmoown never had so quiet a year, as the last that is to say so little interruption or trouble by sickness. The Lord who so graciously watched over their bodily health, hasalso preserv- ed the souls of the children and kept them from falling into gross sins. They learn their lessons tolerably well, considering that only four hours a day are given to these studies and the rest of their time spent in attending to manual labor, cooking, washing ete. The super- intendence of the whole had to remain with Sr. Wiirth as before. Several MissioNaARY ToURS have been made during the year, part- ly by Br. Roth to the North and West of the station, but chiefly by Br. Wiirth to the South and East. Upon the whole the Brethren have met with an increased desire after books and schools. © At one place the leading men did not hesitate to confess that they had no doubt at all as to the truth of the Grospel; “but, they said, if all are saved, what will become of hell? we are designed for filling and adorning the city of Yama, the infernal judge.” Others said: “We are old earthen ves- sels, full of holes and never to be madenew again; we are only good for being dashed to pieces.” The generation now living seems to prove this saying, indeed; yet we hope to see individual souls among them saved from destruction, such as a certain man for instance who gave the Catechist some money as an offering to the God we had been preaching, whom he felt, he said, tobe the true God._There are many opportunities for proclaiming the Gospel at Bettigherry and Gadag; the brethren are in the habit of preaching four times a week at the former place and twice at the latter ; but often in the course of speak- ing they hear the adults talking of nothing but our fair prospects with regard to their children. Such being the case we must be the more glad to have them in our Schools, where our chief object is to convey to their youthful minds as much of biblical truth as we can within so short a space of time; for boys of 11 or 12 years of age are no long- er permitted by their relations to go to school.

Hahn who during the greater part of the last year had been laboring at thig station, has latterly been directed by our Committee to undertake the management of the Anandapura settlement in Coorg He left Malasamudra in September 1860, to proceed to his destina- Br tion by way of Hoobly, Coomtah, Mangalore and Mercara Leonberger having thus been alone for a short time, his hands were strengthened again by the arrival of Br. Krauss, whom he was the more glad to receive as fellow-laborer, as he had been suffering from repeated aftacks of fever during the whole of this year as in former years, the situation of the house so much exposed to the eastwind The first few months of 1860 did being apparently the cause of it bring severe trials to Br. and Sr. Leonberger, by the additional sick- nesses of their children. They consequently tried a change of air and removed to Taddry near Coomtah, where they stayed at the sea-shore for a month and were materially benefited by the wholesome influence of the sea-breeze. Yet again at the end of the year Sr. Leonberger i suffered from the same fever, and so did the Catechist several times, whose faithful assistance the Brethren did otherwise enjoy as before Of the CoxGREGATION three families comsisting of twenty souls, i have given much trouble They were enticed, partly by Roman Catho- { lics, to leave the Mission and to settle at other places, where they S L expected to find more liberty than among us, yea even the true free- dom from sin, as one of them said. Already on their way thither they began to deceive one another and subsequently met with disasters of every kind. Upon this one family returned and begged to be admit- ted again, which request was complied with on certain conditions. Those also who had really joined the Roman Catholics were disappointed and dissatisfied with finding little more than the mass; but their request to be allowed to return was refused chiefly on account of their caste having been restored, a practice which is utterly incompatible with the principles of the mission. The other members of the congregation thus perceiving that liberty of the flesh which those people sought, can only cause mischief and remorse, seem to have derived a whole- some warning from these cases; and some of them have been showing greater earnestness and zeal since, whilst others have not fully given up their old excuse that for Hindu people it is impossible to regulate their lives entirely in accordance with the Gospel. Of the many newcomers we cannot say much as yet, as we always receive them for one or two years on trial. They have come from the “highways andhedges”all of them being ofthe lowest class of people; but it is something gained already that they are leaving off the sinful habit of drinking. May the Lord through the working of His spirit grant us real increase by many of them becoming living members of the church of Christ! The Orruax House had the same number of boarders as last : year, although two new ones have entered it, who had been brought by their heathen relatives, among which a father distinguished himself by being not at all indifferent like others, but, notwithstanding his utter poverty, so sensible of parting with his infant that he left it with many tears. At Christmas the confirmation of four boys took place, two of whom had evidently experienced the power of God’s word. Our VErNAcULAR Scroon at Mulagunda is prospering and even ) better attended than last year. The Brahmans have desisted from their former opposition, yea are even applying for permission to enlist S their boys, though they must read Bible stories and tracts as before. )ﬂ y But not only the school, the town of Mulagunda itself also may be said - (9] e to give more hope of successful missionary labor than Y other part of that whole distriet. PrEAcHING ToURs have been made both by the Missionaries and the Catechist. Br. Hahn who enjoyed the blessing of good health during the whole year, made a more extensive tour to the South-East, Br. Leonberger besides making other journeys went twice to the East. The reception they met with was very encouraging everywhere and nothing else to be regretted but the impossibility to accept of all the in- vitations of people who are desirous to hear the Word regularly and to send their children to school.

Br, and Sr. Kies, though some months of ail- ment have fallen to the lot of both, are by God’s grace still supported f to keep up at their posts; but Br. Kies has a great desire to be more [ free for itinerary preaching as well as for literary labors and to attain to this end he wishes to be relieved of the charge of the congregation i by a fellow-laborer. However he has found leisure to make a preach- ) ing tour this year also, in the month of April, when he visited the il great Sangama festival. fi The Catechist is occupied with the Parochial School and preach- 8 ing to the heathen in the town; sometimes, in the absence of the Mission- ary, he conducts the regular services too, Br. Kies is very much pleased with the evident growth of his inward man as well as with his SN outward accomplishments which as is so often the case, do not impair his sincere attachment to nor his usefulness in the mission. Excepting four baptisms of children the CoxerucaTION had no ac- cession. At Christmas for the first time two children were confirmed. Our christians on the whole have walked steadily and quietly. Since a few months they have begun to show one sign more of spiritual life, by arranging prayer-meetings of their own aecord. Every noon all the men are in the habit of assembling in the Catechist’s house for social prayer in addition to the public meetings of the same kind which are held every Saturday evening. This blessed movement seems to have been occasioned by the Catechist’s reading in a mis- sionary newspaper published in Mahratthi, of the great revivals which lately took place in America and England, the Missionafy having only pointed to the necessity and the blessings of prayer in general. The whole congregation having so readily answered this invitation to pray- er has, we trust, profited much by the meetings, although Br. Kies on another occasion felt himself called upon to make a most diligent and thorough research into their spiritual condition and Christian walk, which they did not only suffer patiently, but even approve of thank- fully. The VErRNACULAR ScHooL is satisfactorily attended, but often inter- One rather dis- rupted by the interference of heathenish customs. 1l couraging fact regarding the school is thatthe higher classes are never full, because most parents being afraid of Christian influence remove d their children as soon as possible after they have mastered the first elements. n The whole Mission work of our Southern Mahrattha Stations, we )} must confess in conclusion, appears to be still in its infancy. But we are told not to despise the days of small things, and have this confi- 10 dence through Christ unto God, that He will hasten his work in Ais time, when a little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation. ] nd h > 5¥ LDy 118 MALARA'R CANNANORE, WITH CHIRACAL AND CHOVVA.

The mournful event of Sr Miillers’ sudden death we mentioned in our last report. Br. Miiller being left a widower and much impaired in his health since along time, atlength resolved on following his children to Europe, but on account of the wants of the station held out for one year more, thus completing 18 years of unin - terrupted labor till January 1861, when he was replaced by Br. Strobel, who returned from Palghaut to the scene of his first efforts in the Mis- sion work. Br. Hanhart has bgen absent from Cannanore for some months, first when he went to assist in the English School at Telli- cherry, and towards the end of the year when he took charge of the Palghaut station for a season, till Br. Herre would be able to join. G ivi o4 3r. Reinhardt after having made good progress in the languages and begun to make himself useful in the English School, has been trans- ferred to Tellicherry. Only Br. and Sr. Schlunk have remained at the place for the whole space of time now under review. He has by God’s grace been blessed with good health and spirits for so many ard- uous tasks he had to perform. In October he was relieved of some of his work by the arrival of Br. Schoch, who is now permanently stationed here, and in November the Brethren were glad to receive Br. Bergfeldt as an additional laborer to whom after a short time the English School as well as some of the English services could be made over at Br. Hanhart's departure for Palghaut. The CONGREGATION, we are sorry to say, has been diminished, not- withstanding the addition of fifty souls by baptism during the year, 20 of whom were adults. A considerable number have only changed settlement, but many, we are bound to confess, have become backsliders, both classes amounting to 57 souls. Those belonging to the. latter class who have not only left but forsaken this Mission, had some special reason for doing so which we must explain with a few more words. Hitherto it too often happened that the outward means of subsistence granted to new converts, if their circumstances seemed to require and their state of mind to be worthy of it, proved to be the chief attraction. But our Committee having lately come to the reso- lution of making all Christians earn and eat their own bread, whenever they possibly can be expected to do so, Br. Schlunk was directed to carry these obviously sound principles strictly into practice. The con- sistent enforcement of measures adapted to these principles affected h all the stations more or less, but apparently none somuch as Cannanore. However, the same measures which were followed here by such disastrous consequences, did in the end prove very wholesome at other stations, and, we trust, will finally prove so everywhere. ) Of the CarrcaisTs two were directed to devote themselves to an- other sphere of labor, viz. the Preparandi Schools; Sebastian Furtado 6 was appointed to that at Mangalore, and Diego Fernandez to that at la 10 Tellicherry. The rest of them have continued faithfully to attend to it their respective shares of the work, among the congregation, the Englis'h iy soldiers and the heathen, and on the whole we cannot perceive that our labors have been less blessed than in former years, although we have no extraordinary events to relate. PusLic PREACHING i8S carried on at four different localities in the town, and generally accompanied with singing and prayer before and after, as is the custom with the Brethren of other stations also. More- over two great heathen festivals have been visited, the one at Payawur in the month of February 1860, where Br. Hanhart went accompanied by four Catechists, and the other at Taliparambu in March, visited by Br. Miiller and three Catechists. At both places the word was preach- ed to large crowds and listened to with increasing willingness. Many were evidently rejoiced to hear the glad tidings and some even in- quired after Mr. Hebich whom they had been wont to see on these occasions for so many years. The Brethren were fully and gladly at-work for several days every morning and eveningto do the sower’s part, and were farther encouraged by witnessing the striking decay of the power of heathenism manifesting itself in a visible decrease of There is the number of pilgrims in comparison with former years. little faith in their own gods with a great many of these poor idolaters. The Excrisa ScHooL, excepting the disadvantage of repeated The at- changes in the superintendence, went on as well as before. tendance was truly gratifying. Some of the scholars continue to re- joice the hearts of their teachers by a more than ordinary diligence and a real predilection for their Bible lessons. For sometime Br. Han- hart took great pains to teach them in singing Christian hymns and found it to be not altogether fruitless even for their hearts. The GirLs’ InstiTuTioN at Chiracal has lately lost the services of Mrs. Ramawarma, by her being married to Catechist Timothy Parayil. The school had been conducted by her in a gratifying manner. Five girls have been confirmed, six married, and eight new boarders receiv- ed during the year. Some of them give unmistakeable proofs of a work of the Lord begun in their hearts. The Weaving EsTABLISHMENT now enjoying the uninterrupted superintendence of Br. Schoch, is in good condition and gives employ- ment to 21 persons. From the month of Qctober 1859 till Decem- BB - o e b e R (3] Qe ber 1860, 7649 yards were produced and found a ready sale. Two of the apprentices have subsequently entered the Preparandi School at Tellicherry. All the commissions with which the establishment was favored could be attended to. Br. Schoch who is indefatigable in his department, travels from time to time to inspect the other wea- ving establishments of our Malabar Mission, at Tellicherry and Calicut, his headquarters being at Cannanore.

Irion’s services during the past year, whilst with the exception of Cannanore where Br. Miiller still remained, all the Malabar stations had fallen into the hands of younger men in consequence of the departure for Europe of so many of the senior Missionaries, of Hebich, Gundert, boodn and Fritz. Br. Irion, though in very delicate health, was enabled to continue at his post to the end of the year, when he proceeded to Mangalore, and having presided at the General Conference held in January this year, he embarked thence for Europe after nearly twenty years of uninterrupted labor in the Mission.—His share of work during this last year was the care of the congregation, in which he was assisted by Br. Aldinger, the management of the first class of the Catechist Institution, and literary labors, besides the superintendence of the whole station and preaching to the heathen, which he carried on as Jong as possible. The Brethren Aldinger and Burckhardt have also remained at their several posts without interrup- tion, but Br. Herre’s health having failed he was sent to the Nilagiri Hills and recommended a year’s rest. In consequence his health is now by God’s grace much improved, and we hope that he will soon be able to proceed to Palghaut, to which station the Committee have » lately appointed him. Br. Reinhardt has succeeded him in charge of the school here in July last, when he exchanged this for Cannanore. Towards the end of last year we had another accession by the arrival of Miss Yelin who was subsequently married to Br. Burckhardt; where- { as Br. Schoch left us in order to make Cannanore his permanent re- sidence. The ConerEGATION has had a small increase in number. We dare L not say that there has been great inward growth, but, we are glad to i state, there was only one case during the whole year which compelled N us to use some severity in church-discipline, and the way in which of this was done, seems to have made a good impression upon others. ch Moreover we rejoice to feel that there is indeed a good seed among W] this congregation, whose wholesome influence we are often permitted n to witness. Especially the elders are showing much zeal in assisting the Missionaries on their part. The attendance at the services is onthe by whole satisfactory, and there are few houses which have not their fa- e mily-worship. The sincere attachment of the church-members to their lif Missionaries was most clearly shown again at Br. Irion’s depar- fhy ture for Europe, when the whole congregation quite unexpectedly oth came to the Mission-house singing hymns and thanking him, and ) 41 with many tears lamenting his depzt1~tL1re. Br.Irion was deeply moved by this spontaneous testimonial that his labors had been blessed and that the message he had preached was valued by his people, so that he was loath to leave them. For many of them he had known as child- ren, as heathen, and then as converts kept by the power of God to- gether with the older members of the church, in which amidst joy and sorrow he had been privileged to labor for so many years. However our brother could rejoice in the hope, that He, who has begun a good work in them, will by whatever means carry it on and perfect it. Another great joy and satisfaction Br. Irion took with him with respect to the success of the first Class of the Prmparaxpr Scroor, which had commenced their course three years ago and finished it at the end of 1860. REight young men had entered the school at that time, three of whom afterwards proved fit to be received into the Mis- sion College at Basel, Of the remaining five only one, who had shown a good character for a long time, was at last overcome with some angry fit which made him leave the school of his own accord, so that after having repented and come back he could only be received on the con- dition of undergoing a year of trial. The other four, who on account of their diligence and orderly conduct could be looked on with un- mixed pleasure, passed an examination at the end of November in the presence of several Missionaries, by which they had to prove, and did 0 prove, their fitness for the different branches of a catechist’s work. i Some time after they were set apart for their work by the laying on h of hands and sent to their respective fields of labor ‘at Chiracal, Telli- cherry, Coilandy and Calicut. We have only to regret that the one 15 who is stationed at Chiracal, is very poorly in his health, indeed, and od in all probability will be unable to serve for any length of time. 5 The younger class of the school, under the charge of Br. Burck- he hardt, consists of nine youths, between 15 and 20 years of age. Al- 9% though it is difficult to say how much there may be of a new spiritual el life among them, yet we must own that they behaved themselves better = than we had been led to expect, they prefer their Bible-lessons to any ly other, have their regular private devotions and gradually become more md earnest and steady. There has not been any case of disobedience or 6 g other gross misconﬂuct. Their daily life is so regulated that besides their studies there is also some time left for manual labor in the way of gardening ete.—Br. Burckhardt who has the tuition and instruction of this class, is assisted therein by Catechist Diego Fernandez. Bible reading and expounding must always take the lead in an institution like this; but the study of English and Malayalam, Arithmetie, Geo- graphy and other kindred branches of knowledge are by mno means neglected.—At the beginning of 1861 another class of about the same number entered the school, which is henceforth to be conducted on a somewhat larger scale, by forming three or four classes instead of two as heretofore. A numerous and effective Native Agency is an object wants so much longed for and aimed at by all who know the crying oyel of India. May the Lord by his own Spirit rai [>Ae] himself his servants here and elsewhere! The Exgrnisa Scmoorn, which at the end of 1859 seemed to have arrived at the point of dissolution, has not onlyrecovered ifself most sa- 1 re O rc O f strength. g tisfactorily, but can be said to have acquired a new measu Q@ h By, Herre’s sickne DR and various other circumstances had the effect of il bringing the namber of scholars down to about 50, and although in Jan. 4 1860 a much greater number was enlisted, yet the attendance was far from being gratifying, till some new assistant teachers were employed. Br. Hanhart from Cannanore came to take charge of the school in the 1 a8 i meanwhile, but W < 1 soon taken ill himself. In July Br. Reinhardt, healthy and vigorous enough, took his place and is now fully at work Vi An important change st counting again more than a hundred scholars. o was made regarding the mode of teachin o , which hitherto was mostly fo /i 1Ly th in English, but now is chie 7 in Malayalam through all classes except e the highest, in which the medium of instruction is to be English as before. In the other classes however English continues to be carefully taught fo as a language. The OrpHAN HoUSE has been most graciously preserved during 1ng the year, so that there was muchless sickness among the children than ed The number of them had to be reduced, as there was not lagt year. sufficient room, but having now enlarged the building considerably we ki i i shall be able to incre: [fs] ¢ ¢ the number of its inhabitants again. DY e Vi By 1) 9 4 (¥4 dinger always used to.give some lessons; and lately the head-teacher Esra has received a further assistance by the appointment of Catechist William Davis who had helped him already before whilst still a pupil in the Preparandi School. Into the latter again some boys were fit i to be received, who had formerly been in the Orphan School, and we and ala - hope that in future o this hopeful connection between the two schools b may continue and prove more and more fruitful. 16 The four VErNacULAR ScHooLs are regularly visited, by the cate- 4 chists, by Br. Aldinger, and sometimes by Br. Reinhardt, as often as their other labors al L ;‘- 0 ow them. The religious instruction therefore is 0 pretty much in our hands, although in three of the schools heathen (i) schoolmasters continue to be employed. We however intend to re- s place them by Christians as soon as practicable. As to MissioNArY LABOR properly so ealled we regret to say that i preaching-tours could not possibly be made during the year by the Qu )b few laborers of the station who besides doing their own work had 11 il sometimes to foHoyv calls to Chombala when Br. Diez was absent from 0 his station; but at various localities of the town and in its immediate Al neighborhood preaching to the heathen was carried on as frequently fa as ever. Iispecially in the fishermen’s village Br. Irion was glad to ol find again and again the same numerous and well behaved hearers, as the if called together by the sound of the churchbell. They were so quiet [;H and orderly that he could go through something like a regular ser- U\l\ vice as we do in a christian congregation. But what is more unusual still, women also used to come and standing at a little distance lis- HzH suly tened most attentively. The word unmistakeably finds a place among f this class of people, and we trust will quicken them so that many will cep embrace the salvation through Him, who when laying the very first 16 it foundation of His church deigned to glorify his name by fishermen.

Diez has been obliged to be absent from his station for more 1l than two months in order to bring his family back from the Nilagiris. i Sr. Diez’s health has, thank God, much improved by her stay on the Hills since Oct. 1859.—A missionary being alone at a station is natur- al ally not sufficiently free for itinerary preaching, but in and around tc Chombala Br. Diez has labored much on this way, and may be enabled al to do more hereafter, when the newly appointed Catechist William fi Davis will be at liberty to join the station properly assigned to him, fi whereas for the present he is detained at Tellicherry by the wants of ty the orphan-house. The Catechists who are at present at Chombala of are a great help to Br. Diez One of them Paul Chandren, the first to fruits of the station, instructs the children and, during the Missionary’s absence, takes care of the congregation. Another has the charge of i — 4 the small outstation Muveratu which Br. Diez himself visits once a week. They all preach also with the Missionary at various places where listeners are to be met with, in the public roads, in compounds We ete., sometimes to a few persons, sometimes to a larger crowd. meet with much indifference where people have heard the word before; others who were unacquainted with it, have often been glad and thank- ful to us for telling them the good tidings of salvation. _ A man ofthe Tier-caste showed great anxiety to meet the missionary and catechist at the border of his compound in order to tell them that they need- ed not trouble themselves with visiting him. Another pleaded that God had not yet sent him order to join the Christians. A third one being asked, “what is better, truth or lie?” rudely answered: “lie.” Some being preached to said: “We can’t seek any thing better than our ancestors.” A Nair said to Br. Diez: “Your Queen is something, but yow are an outcast.” Another rich man of the same caste replied : “After three or four days I shall be at your service.” An old man answered: “What isthe use of telling me that? Go to my rich neighbor yonder, him you must persuade.” Some Moplahs putreasonable questions such as these: “ How is it that your religion has so little of outward appearance, pray- er-hours, fasting, music and such like?” A few Puleyas were very anxious to learn reading and had even been fined by their masters for having learned seven letters.—This sort of missionary work is very trying indeed, yet we feel that we have to rest assured that our labor is not in vain in the Lord. Five souls belonging to the Tier-caste, have been added to the CoNGREGATION by baptism on the 15th of Jan. 1860. These new nig members as well as the old ones give generally speaking little cause ik to complain. Although some are more or less indifferent, there are fhe others too who like to hear God’s word and the decreased attendance = at the regular church services we feel we have no right to attribute to any thing else but to the fact, that the great poverty of our Christi- mnd Jed ans compels them to earn their bread abroad and oftentimes far away jam from us. However we have reason to believe that no estrangement i from the Missionary is caused by this. Some have also begun volun- tarily to meet for prayer. As to their walk, there has been one case of of adultery, and among the younger peoplea kind of rudeness is often I st to be reprehended. A few have given satisfaction by their daily conduct. The Parochial Scroors are not very regularly attended, because 1y the children are often kept at home by their parents for household- eOf V] /{6 ety b K [¢ business. During the absence of Sr. Diez the Girls School especially suffered in this as well as in other respects from want of superinten- dence. Of the two heathen schools the one at Mahé has given more - satisfaction than the other at Wadagery, in which there were frequent interruptions caused by various labors in the field.

Miiller in October cheered and comforted us much In November the arrival of the brides of the Brethren Con - vert and Lauffer and of B 3r. Schauffler greatly rejoiced our hearts, and | the newcomers proved at once a help to Br., Counvert who has the charge of the congregation, and to Br. Lauffer in his industrial depart- ment Br. Bosshard is still alone at his post at Kodakal and must content himself with occasional visits paid to him by the other bre- thren. The CoNGREG arion of Calicut with its outstations is no doubt the foremost in our whole Malabar Mission, in number at any rate, and perhaps also in inward solidity and strength Yet if there was rea- son at any time to rejoice with fear and trembling, it was so in the year now past, during which we experienced an attack of the enemy )) on a side where we least expected it 1at shall we say to the fact that the Catechist of Koilandy whom we had ever thought to be one of our best fellow-laborers, in whom we trusted as we do in a brother, has fallen intc open sin, and though frequently besought and earnest- ly appealed to hasnot beenledto repentance unto life yet? It became necessary to have recourse to the severest church discipline and to ex- communica, the poor man from the privileges of the church. The consequence was as it 1s written “And oreat fear ame upon all the church and upon ny as heard these things.” All his former friends were deeply moved and grieved by his fall, but all acknowledged the punishment to be just. The whole congregation was standing on our side and helping us thr ough this and other trials, when sins were dis- covered and sinners had to be rebuked At Koilandy we afterwards stationed two other catechists instead of one. And now we desire the prayers of our friends for these two, and for the speedy repentance and restoration of our poor fallen brother. qal'» Another_ loss, not less grievously felt, but in a far dlﬁ‘elenf man- fhe ner, the Girls’ Institution at Calicut had to experience This lost was \iss not caused by sin, but by the Liord Himself who called a faithiful hand- maid of his to her rest. rthe It 13 something like a relief to turn our eyes and from the scandal before mentioned to the peaceful death-bed of Anna 1 ﬂle Subaya, who departed this life at Christmas 1860 oo N She was a precious soul herself and during the last year did precious ser- vices which shall not soon be forgotten. As a girl she was brought up by Mrs. Fritz and from early years had shown an amiable and peaceful disposition. In 1856 she married our Catechist, Samuel Subaya, who is deeply afflicted by ber loss and scarcely finds words to express what a help and comfort she al- ways had been to him, not only in the household, but even more so in the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. She used to livein an uninterrupted communion with the Lord by prayer and the study of His word. She had been dear to all for many years, but only after the death of Sr. Fritz her usefulness began to be more manifest when the Girls’ School had to be committed to her ¥ Soon charge, for the management of which she evidently had a peculiar gift, afterwards when Sr. Gundert arrived at Calicut, she became her assistant teach- er and at the same time her most attached disciple, by which friendly “inter- course the growth of her inward man was much accelerated. She often used to come to her for prayer or conversation about spiritual things, and in such hours she sometimes exclaimed: %O, if you only knew how I love Jesus; He h d has loved me so dearly; I can never be satisfied with reading of Hislove in His word” and so on. Sr. Gundert ever was full of joy when speaking about Anna. d Gradually the time was drawing nigh when all her good qualities and ac- complishments were very much wanted in the Girls’ Institution. After Sr. [ Gundert had gone to Europe, Anna Subaya with her husband were left alone th to take care of the school, whilst the Missionary could only have the general superintendence. In this work, certainly not easy for a native, she really prov- Iy ed able, faithful, industrious and humble-minded. She has done much, and what she did she did quietly and peacefully, with a true love to the children which they amply returned. But the women of the Congregation also liked to be & None was so well versed inher advised by her and to take her for an example. 01 Bible, none so attentive in listening to the sermon. She never had a quarrel e with anybody, because her heart was filled with thoughts of peace She was he deeply rooted in the love of God and, as we think, ripe for heaven. On Christ- mas eve she prepared, as a kind mother with us is wont to do, all the Christ- ing be( mas-presents for the children, and when she had done, she said to her husband rather solemnly: “Now my work is done.” He thought that her words only re- Va ferred to the work she had had in hand, but now it appears that she had a kind of of presentiment, that her approaching confinement might end fatally. On the morning of the 25th of December she very suddenly died, after having given Jiky Her end was as her life had birth to a girl who survived her only one day. been. Br. Convert, who went to visit her, has witnessed the peace and con- By fidence of her soul. Having been asked if she was prepared to go home if it t()( be the Lord’s will, she answered: “O yes, I shall be glad to go, but not by any worthiness of my own, it is all grace.”—There were many tears for her de- Igg parture among the whole congregation, espeeially amoi;g the girls, and even g 19 many heathen were seen standing at her grave who had also liked andrespect- ed her to a very high degree. Such an example of the grace and power of God is sufficiently en- % couraging for every missionary. Other signs of a similar working of At the be- the Bpirit have not been wanting either during the year. i ginning of it we observed a great zeal for prayer-meetings held by il the men of the congregation separately and by the women separately, » and after having-declined for some months it gained new strength to- wards the end of the year. I Such efforts cannot be in vain, although we cannot speak of any outward manifestations of a revival. i But along with these cheering experiences we had to make others of an opposite character. In the month of October when Br. Convert il Te had gone to Cannanore to meet his bride, Br. Lauffer who was left b} alone at the station, had the grief of detecting some cases of gross sin among the apprentices of his carpenters’ shop. The measures which \C he took for punishing them, created a sort of rebellion. ‘With a few VY exceptions they all sided with the sinners for sometime ; but afterwards Il al they repented and begged pardon, which they obtained after the most ‘V guilty had been excluded from the congregation. nd ioh Excepting these extraordinary cases the Calicut Congregation has he given us much joy. The services were always well attended, not 161 only on Sunday, but also on the working days; family-worship is to ol be found in all houses, and Br. Convert was often delighted to over- 78 hear their prayers when taking an evening-walk among their dwell- IS ings. In order to establisha more cordial intercourse with them he 18U began to hold a meeting with the men of the congregation, in which and 16 various matters used to be discussed, differences settled and prayers offered for all. s“1‘1\1 These meetings proved a blessed means to unite both fl[, parties in brotherly love. yen had The Kodakal congregation seems to be inferior in these respects ; s Br. Bosshard cannot give it so good a character. Few only appear if 10 to seek more from the mission than their livelihood; many are satis- any fied with coming to church once a week, although they undoubtedly [ils eyl are much behind in spiritual knowledge. 7 Ll BT e The outward means of subsistence of our Christians are amply supplied Nearly all of them, though not rich, are eating their own bread. The weaving establishment and the carpenters’ shop give oc- cupation to many. Sometimes no less than fifty persons altogether find regular employment Both establishments are flourishing, and the produce of the first, during the year, has been 5320 yards. Br Schauff- ler has now taken the superintendence of the weaving establishment Little can be said about the Scmoors. The Girls’ Boarding School which was so well taken care of by Anna Subaya, enjoys now the superintendence of Srg.

Strobel praises the Lord who has now established the it )1 Palghaut Mission which formerly appeared to be subject to so many e, difficulties and trials, that one was tempted to suppose, it was not the purpose of the Lord to establish it. 66 He with his two catechists—one of them has afterwards been transferred to Koilandy—has preached 1] 10 the word regularly once or twice a week in the bazar, where they al- jent ways met with fifty or sixty hearers, sometimes quietly listening, some- o times disposed to quarrel, and thereby to disturb the preacher. lent Besides preaching the living word they also sold tracts at all such opportunities. The Shanars especially seem to be prepared for the Ons a1y Gospel. Some months ago they sent a deputation to Br. Strobel to o ask what support they had to expect if they should become Christians. But we did not think it right to promise much in this respect. From oAl another place too we hear that the word of God is inquired after by VS L= 52— Shanars, but the distance was too great to pay them a visit, as there was only one brother to do the work of the station. The Catechists have behaved themselves well and rejoiced Br. Between themselves they were Strobel’s heart by their faithfulness. most heartily united, so that Paul Ifttirarichan feels lonely now after his companion Paul Chittayagam is gone. During the monsoon Br. Strobel had a weekly meeting with them for the purpose of reading God’s word and church-history. The ConerEGATION has increased a little, but chiefly by Christians coming from other stations. The few members compoging it are de- sirous to hear the word and respect the missionary, but in the exer- cise of prayer as well as in making an open profession of their faith they are very weak and have still to learn how to become a light and i salt.—DBesides the Malayalam services there is a regular English ser- vice every Sunday at noon. i In the Excrise ScrmoorL the heathen teacher was dismissed at the f Iy end of the year on account of his enmity against Christianity which led him to such a point as could not be tolerated any longer. The num- of ber of attendants has been lessened by the opening of a Roman Ca- st W tholic School in the place; but the unpromising condition those were in who went over to that school, makes it easy for us to get over the I loss. On the whole we are satisfied with the conduct and progress of §t: the scholars. On the 12th of December a public examination took il place, accompanied by the distribution of prizes.

Metz’ absence in Europe is often felt by the brethren of this 1- station, yet they rejoice in the hope that he may again be seen with them towards the end of the present year, as the news received about he the state of his health is becoming more and more cheering. Even now (¥ he is keeping up an intercourse with his beloved Badagas by means of letters which he sends to them. But we are sorry to say that the i) station had to suffer another heavy loss at the beginning of 1861, ere when Sr. Moerike by her protracted illness was at last compelled to return to Europe for a season. Br. Moerike, however, resolved to the of stay for the work’s sake and accompanied his partner only as far as ok Mangalore where she embarked together with three brethren leaving at the same time.—We were much rejoiced at the arrival of Miss 075 Elsaesser, now Sr. Wiirtele, and a new fellow-laborer, Br. Thumm, g nd who had come to Mangalore in October last and spent his first three months on the coast in order to begin his study of the Canarese lan- guage, easier to be acquired there than on the Hills. When Br. Moerike returned to his post, he also came with him to Kaity, and was all the more welcome as Br, Wiirtele’s ill-health had much interfered with hig work during the past months. The Badaga CoxarrGATION has not increased, but rather lost one of its members by death, although in fact this is scarcely to be called a loss. For dear Salome after ten months’ walk as a Christian at the age of 25 years departed in peace, and her happy end thus gives us B good reason to hope that one of the first-fruits of the Mission has en- tered into the joy of her Lord. Whilst recording this we desire to be thankful to our Lord Jesus for the strength given to the remaining members of our little Badaga Church to stand fast during the past year and to profess his name in the midst of their heathen brethren, though all of them live in their own village about four miles from the station, and are thus under less supervision than if they lived at Kaity. However Br. Moerike constantly visits them, and as it is impracticable to gather them together during the day, on account of their work, he generally spends a night in their village. They are highly respect- ed among the heathen around and their consistent walk exercises a wholesome influence upon their neighbors. Although for the present we do not know of any others willing to come out and confess Christ, yet some signs or symptoms may be observed here and there similar to those which preceded the first conversions and therefore give us much hope, May the Lord fulfil these our hopes to the glory of His own name! The Parochial Scmoor upon the whole has been going on as well as before. The Vernacular Schools were flourishing indeed, chiefly during the first half of the year, when the number of scholars increas- ed as it had never done before. Especially the night-schools were crowded for a considerable time ; but from several causes the number hag of attendants has gradually lessened. One ~of the chief causes is the Velj ney fear of tigers and other wild beasts which have much increased of late. aHy Yet the continued attendance at the remaining schools may. be looked upon as very hopeful, because if those who attend were not interested Deg] Very in what they learn, they would not be found willing to come to school hazy after a long day’s work. Br. Wiirtele has taken these schools for his peculiar share of the work. As a farther encouragement to our work Anan we are rejoiced to be able to state, that an English christian lady, re- Ty siding on the Hills, and well acquainted with the native language, has g lately established a school for Badaga boys, her chief object being to adv instruct them in the way of life. Inr conclusion we cannot omit to offer our sincerest thanks to Dr. ) ﬁon) { Leslie of Coonoor this year again, for his very kind and unremitting T sty = BB e services rendered to the members of the Nilagiri Mission as well as to’ a number of invalids from other stations. h l 16 V.

But these extraordinary efforts even his otk 167 strong constitution could not stand for any length of time. In the month of November his health became so bad that his kind physician , has advised him to proceed to Europe without any delay. * On the 26th * We gladly seize this opportunity, in the report of our last Indian Sta- ) Dr tion, to express our heart-felt thanks to all Medical Men who have kindly as- {ing sisted our Brethren and Sisters at their various stations.

But Sr. Richter having contracted a severe attack amy of fever at their temporary dwelling-place and subsequently being brought to the verge of the grave, a time of greater and longer trials fhe ensued. A change of air afterwards sought at Fraserpet has under vel God’s blessing restored her health the As we mentioned above, Br. Kaundinya was sent by the Canara larg Brethren to strengthen the Coorg Mission and stayed at Anandapura When he had returned to Mangalore, Br. Hahn Pax during the Mounsoon timg arrived in due time to take his permanent residence in Coorg, and soon lsy afterwards the station received an additional reinforcement by the Iy arrival of Br. Stokes from Europe, who is now preparing for the work sy by the study of the Canarese language. At the departure of the Senior nJ Missionary, however, the Brethren could not help feeling destitute in dapu some measure, and the case of this mission being the more urgent in Sug) consequence of the entire absence of native assistants (the only one €heg present is wanted for the English school) is still under consideration, hélS ] which we pray the Lord to direct to the right end agreeable to His will! For the present Br. Richter and Br. Hahn are attending to the Jive Busay - Ve wants of the congregation as much as their other duties and ecircum= ne stances will permit ft The CoxGrEGATION itself has gone through a most serious crisis i, occasioned by the misconduct of one of the members whom we former- ite ly called the firstfruits of the Coorg Mission. Although we had been )n- led to doubt his sincerity for sometime, yet it was mournfully surpri- ty- sing to find out at last, that he had been living in gross sins and: en- deavoring to create himself a party among the congregation by estran- 00 ging their hearts from the missionaries, The cure was avery difficult yer one in this case, the more so as the poor man obstinately refused to submit to discipline, and the rest of the church-members were rather al- 10r slow in emancipating themselves from his pernicious influence. Yet 1 thank God! after some time their eyes were opened and theirrebellious ter mind humbled, they confessed to have been wrong and begged pardon. The instigator himself who had not even refrained from openly ab- ily nd- using the whole mission, in the presence of thecongregation, was sent ack away, and since then the Anandapura Christians, especially the elders among them, have made as it were a new beginning and behaved \lﬂa’ themselves to our satisfaction Lh\\b nder On the 24th of June the Brethren Moegling and Kaundinya were very happy to receive fourteen families consisting of 32 souls into the congregation by baptism. It was the second time that such a natd large number was admitted at once All of them had been duly pre- pum pared by being instructed in the chief articles of our faith for some Jahn time every morning, when the whole congregation was present and g0l listened attentively. After these preparations Br. Kaundinya coms- j fhe muned with the presbytery about each individual candidate for bap- yors tism, and the above said number was thought fit for thé same. Again onl0! in January 1861 when Br. Kaundinya paid a shorter visit to Anan- fe 10 dapura, no less than 17 catechumeni were instructed and baptized :]1‘6 m Such days with the ensuing communion-services are refreshing and g o encouragin indeed, and give us good reason to believe that the Lord at10 has not forsaken the Coorg Mission o 18 The Exerism Scmoorn at Mercara, whose superintendence is now 1) ﬂlc given over to Br.

For upwards of a century a post of forlorn hopes, as it were, and the grave of many a faithful soldier of Christ this coast has ol now become another of the numerous encampments which gradually ta encircle Africa, and will, we trust, finally combine in a general and I successful assault on that vast fortress of darkness, to throw it open to 1) the view of Christian nations, and to draw its untold millions from aft the depths of savage misery into the paths ofpeace and righteousness, Th and into the bonds of friendly intercourse with the rest of mankind. als In the last century a colony had been established by the Danes W on the Gold Coast. A fort, raised by them, was called Christiansborg Sul in honour of the king of Denmark. The coast was then, as it is now, W inhabited by the Accra negroes. As in other foreign colonies occupied Pre by European nations in those days, so here also the claims of the benighted natives on the sympathy of Christians were almost entirely overlooked. More than five quarters of a century ago, however, the toy the spiritual wants of the Accra negroes were brought home to one of the most zealous Christians of the day, Count Zinzendorf, the noble found- Wh er of the Moravian Church, who, ever mindful of the heart-stirring 1 lig question written on the memorable picture of Christ crucified, ST e “«This did I for thee: 100 dy What doest thou for me ?" A preferred a life of incessant labour and care inthe causeof the gospel a5 to the highest honours of royal courts, and became the originator of mis- sions still greatly blessed, to the negroes of the West Indies and the on Indians of America, the Greenlanders of the North and the Hottentots g of the South: was induced by a pious mulatto of Christiansborg, Potten )56 by name, whom he met at Copenhagen, to send the first missionaries to the Gold Coast. Anxious to return to his country a messenger of the gospel of peace, Potten offered himself for the purpose, and ac- companied by Henry Hukoff, a Moravian brother, reached Christians- borg in 1737. The latter soon fell a prey to the coast fever, and his grave was the first of so many which have since received the mortal remains of missionaries who laid down their lives in this, as it then ned appeared, almost hopeless cause. In 1741 Potten left for Denmark, dif but returned twice to the scene of his labours and sufferings, till in g 1 1769 he was called to his rest. Ere he died, however, he had the has satisfaction to see the Moravian Church take possession of the inheri- ally tance of love to the Accra negroes, which their large-hearted founder and left to it at his death in 1760. In 1768 Potten was cheered by the ar- ol to rival of five brethren from Herrnhut; and in 1770, a few months only from after his departure, four more missionaries landed at Christiansborg. ness) The labours of this noble band extended then to the Akem negroes d also. The prosperity of the mission, however, was of short duration. )anes Within a couple of years eight brethren were buried, and the only horg survivor, who sailed to Jamaica in search of health, died on his way. 10y ‘Who will blame the Moravian Brethren that after the loss of eleven :upi@d precious lives they withdrew from the mission? of the tﬁl'dy We need not repeat ch6 cireumstances which led to the resump- tion in 1828 of the work thus interrupted, by the Basel Society after ‘,Y, the the lapse of more than half a century, nor recite the many difficulties of the which had to be overcome until their mission gained a firm footing.

It may suffice to repeat that between % e 1828 and 1838, eight more graves marked the spot of another for- lorn hope, fallen in the siege of Western Africa. Once more it became a subject of long and deep consideration, whether in Christian prudence the Committee were not bound to re- treat from a field, on which a second time only one survivor was left. Faith however prevailed, and in 1843 a new company of Basel mis- sionaries arrived on the Gold Coast, accompanied by twenty-four [ Christian negro colonists from the West Indies. This was the turning The Society has Ig point in the history of the Western Africa Mission. been permitted by the grace of God, in spite of many trials and afflic- he tions, and the loss of many more precious lives, to gain ground among 1n the Accra negroes and the adjacent tribes. The mission extends now over four districts inhabited by as many 00! different tribes, the Accra and Adangme negroes of the low country, Wa (a and the Aquapim and Akem negroes of the hills. Among them six stations have been established, to each of which native churches are i attached.

Two brethren and three sisters were sent out from Basel in the ay course of the year. Br. Ch. J. Harnisch, who left Basel in May 1860, fry, was sent to the assistance of Br. Auer, the new superintendent of the QX Catechist-Training-Institution at Akropong. He was accompanied by are Sisters Mugler, Rueff and Schiile, now the partners of the Brethren zed Schall, Heck, and Stanger. Br. J. Weiblen, a lockmaker, left in De- cember last.

Heck of Abokoby writes :— 0ng On Sunday evenings after the adult Sunday school was over, we used in Wh former years to visit in a body some of the surrounding villages. The people, Witk it was evident, were deeply moved at secing our converts join us in singing i and praying, and at hearing one or the other of the more advanced converts they testify of what Christ had done for them. They were forced to admit that the Cal gospel was a good thing not only for white people and missionaries, but also for negroes. Of late these Sunday excursions have been discontinued because an Evening Service has become mnecessary. But we continue regularly to vi- ——63.—— I sit these villages on Tuesday and Friday evenings, and as they are at no great 4 distance from each other, several of them are visited with the message of peace 0 on one evening. Although few as yet have renounced their old ways and turn- ed to Jesus, we are far from being discouraged. The word of God informing 16 sinners of God’s unspeakable love to man, and of Jesus’ death and resurrec- st tion for the salvation of the world, cannot return void. We feel sure that, ere ith long, not a few only, but many will gather under Christ’s standard.

The school is attended by some ten boys. As I\ they assist their parents on the plantations, the Catechists go with them by turns to avail themselves of their leisure hours, when they hold school in a barn or under a tree. In most villages of this neighbourhood the gospel is glad- 10 Iy heard. Two large places only continue hostile. The inhabitants declare age themselves determined to remain faithful to their god Lakpa, even if he led b ) them to hell. A At Sasaby, ten miles to the north-east of Abokoby, a body of fifteen cate- chumeni give us much joy. Boyte, their headman, is evidently sincere and 078 upright. One of his children having died, the fetish priest told him, “Look rk- now what terrible vengeance my fetishes take for your turning Christian. Did 0= I not tell you long ago that you were going to ruin yourself.” Soon after n‘iCS Boyte was afflicted with sore eyes. The fetish priest was again at hand to up- feh braid him. “You will soon dic”, he said “My fetishes have killed your child and will cause your death. They have commenced already by injecting poi- s son into your eyes to destroy them.” Boyte however, firmly withstood him on sy both occasions and sent him away, calling him an impostor. eyior After the rainy season I undertook a preaching tour, accompanied by two and catechists. We stopped in twelve villages, in each of which the gospel was re- peatedly preached. We generally addressed the people after sunset in the 99 & moonlight. The people received us with joy, begged us soon to return, and ,spel. with great readiness offered their huts for lodgings. A year ago I had visited one of these villages and addressed the inhabitants in the middle of the day. od 1 While I took rest under a tree afterwards, a Christian boy, whom I had taken with me, gathered the children and taught them to sing one of our hymns oopley “Mile moko kpakpa.” This time I took occasion to ask the children whether ging they still knew “Mile moko kpakpa”, when a girl of about nine years commen- n\’@rts cad to sing it and was joined by the whole chorus. ab (e t also {0 it e ) II.

The day of the Krobo people is evidently come las fle nigh. They begin to see their misery, and feel the curse of sin, as their king said the other day, ¥We XKrobo negroes have become like the beasts of the foo if( field.” They show a decided hunger and thirst after better things, as we may gather from the large numbers which regularly attend our services. In many e K of them a desire after a helper and saviour has been awakened by the rebellion of 1858. * Odonko Asu himself considered that event as a judgment of God and thought then of becoming Christian The Odumase station also has been selected by the guidance of the Lord At this place he has gatheredhis firstfruits out of the Krobo negroes.

Mangalore, 1859.” e Moreover many bigoted old men and women evinced great fear, lest on settling in the country, we should disregard the laws and institutions of the fetish Their sore anticipations proved indeed true When we had taken possession ut of some land, we commenced baking bread and feeding goats. Both practices ind are interdicted on plantations by the fetish, although the taste of the fetish- fhe priests themselves has led to greater laxity in towns. No great objections were raised against the goats. But whenthe oven was built, and dough prepared,—a rich crime in Kroho eyes,—and the fire was lit in the oven, the people’s wrath broke 5 forth. The inhabitants surrounded the oven, howling “Fetish, seize them! seize s them!” Only through Odonko Asu’s energetic interference greater mischief was prevented. Now most people admit our bread to be better than theirs, which ed, n- they prepare by boiling. Without exception the Word of God is gladly heard by the people.

A boarding school with 18 girls, and workshops for carpenters and itk Dar joiners form part of the settlement. The brethren Dieterle and Mohr i fo are the missionaries of the place. Br The missionaries of Akropong were deeply grieved the other day tO i‘etu by one of their catechists in charge of the Late outstation giving great Pr ep&l'(‘ offence through inconsistent walk, but also much encouraged by the g alld ﬂll‘« bearing of the converts under such critical circumstances. - Br. W id- Doty mann writes—Nov. 6, 1860— Undey, On September 22nd T visited Late with the intention of administering the The Lord’s Supper on the following day. But when speaking with the converts, EM) al’tb they told me that they were too deeply offended to approach the Lord’s table. ly gy Upon farther inquiry I was informed that one of the catechists had made an at- ﬂle Hﬁly Mgt hi tempt to seduce his colleague’s wife during her hushand’s absence. T suspend- ed the man at once and sent him to Akropong. At the same time I exhorted the people not to lose faith in the gospel; for although one of their teachers had n proved false, Jesus and his word remained true for ever. After a short absence gl I returned to the place and had a blessed day. The Lord’s Supper was cele- i brated, and thirteen persons received baptism. Among them there were six girls who had attended our school at the place. Another of the candidates, Noa at Mensa, about thirty years of age, had lost his elder brother some time ago. xlvc When he had resolved upon joining the church of Christ, a priestess declared 1) that his brother had been killed by the fetish, and in consequence claimed y his property. As Noa Mensa objected, he was summoned before a heathen and court and heavily fined. These proceedings inereased his aversion to idolatry. He turned to God for help in these difficulties, and was heard. He was en- pols abled to pay the fine and gave himself up to the Lord, Han The eyes of many are opening to the fact that “the Lord will not ?Qﬁ give his glory to another, neither his praise to graven images,” and pish new doors are opening before the missionaries. We add a few more 0 Wi extracts from Br. Widmann’s letters. apel Not long ago the heathen wife of one of our converts at Late fell danger- o0 ously sick and confessed to her husband, that she had been seduced by two out= heathen neighbours, who had assured her that the Ciristians had no fetishes to be afraid of, but now she felt that the God of the Christians had visited her oneds guilt upon her. Even the miserable king of Akropong was of late foreed to conl- admit, that God could do wonders among Christians.—On last Sunday two 1@(‘ in grown-up girls and three boys of the boarding school were baptized here at Akropong.—Also at Mamfe a decided change for the better is visible. You yhomt will, no doubt, recollect that the catechist stationed there, was withdrawn some \.Pﬁne. time ago in consequence of the constant opposition of the people. Now they ask pardon and appear very anxious to obtain again a teacher, for whom they Mobs offer to build a house. Br. Mader being obliged in April 1860 by the failure of his healfh y doy to return to Europe for a season, Br. Auer has received charge of the Preparandi School. He is assisted by the newly arrived Br. Harnisch and three native brethren. v e We subjoin a few extracts from the re- ports he gives of the school as well as of the preaching excursions he i undertakes from time to time. The pupils of the Preparandi School are on the whole diligent and obedi- (g the ent, although they stand in need of strict and constant supervision. All of ;Om' el‘fi, them have a taste for the Word of God and a ready ear for the teaching of 5 t{lblc the Holy Spirit; they grow in knowledge and Christian life, but still many of > fp A i g% Vi ey them have not yet attained to the full assurance of grace. They are divided W jnto three classes. The first is taught Bible Reading, Bible History, Catechiz- [ Vernacular Grammar, English, Arithmetie, ing, General History, Geography, I Writing, and Singing, in thirty-one lessons a wee k. The lessons of the second 44 Class comprise E xposition of the Scriptures, Christian Doetrine, Preaching Ex- B Arithmetic, Drawing, Singing, and Playing the ercises, History, Geography, @ organ, in twenty-two lessons a weo k: those of the upper Class Exposition of Introduction to the the Seriptures, Christian Doctrine, Preaching Exercises, Bible, Church-history, Drawing, Singing, Playing the organ, and Music, in o twenty-one weekly lessons. The pupils are fond of and make good progress in music. Bight are sufficiently advanced to play the organ at church. fo On one of the preaching excursions, I sndertook some time ago, I stopped In front of U under a fetish-tree within a hedge by which the place is shut in. 0] the tree there was, as usual, a small gate to feed the fetish. While I was he brealkfast for the fetish in a there, an old priest in rags approached with ¢ sit consisting of hashed yams and maize-bread. When he called the brass-plate, N fetish, scattering about .some handfuls, I addressed the bystanders, “Look ! he calls and obtains no answer! he offers the fetish food, and the by at this man (/) fowls eat it ! Indeed such worship is vanity. There is bu t one whom God has Wi appointed the Saviour o £ all, and his name is Jesus!” The people laughed, but do still listened to a short address from John 1, 14.—We continued our journey n to Adukrom, where the influence of the king has had a bad effect on the pro- We sent to inform him of our arrival and our wish to see gress of our school. him.

W piil After tasting some food, of which the king appropriated to himself the lion’s iug share, I asked him why he had broken his promise of sending his children to hip school. He replied, “You see, all my children are grown up, and others whom ddressing the people after- b I sent, have run away; what can I do?” When a wards, the king interrupted us with his old objectio n: $You white people have I a word different from ours 1" took him alone to warn him of his uncourteous yo and exhorted him no longer to resist the divine message.

QL B On our ted In June last I made an excursion to Odumase with my pupils. 01z way we vied with the birds in singing the praises of God. At Adukrom we f1c, could do nothing. The drummers and players were assembled for one of their ond noisy burials. At Apirade we had quict hearers; but they proved very stupid. fix: At Odumase we were well received.. We had but to sing a hymn in one of the the streets, and crowds surrounded us, listening to our message. The king how- ever continues unchanged, always kind, but not drawing nearer. m of the Br. Dieterle of Abude also is permitted to give promising accounts , 11 of the work going on at his station and its neighbourhood. He writes— I £58 The heathen are on the whole better inclined towards us, than of old. In former days when we visited the town, they used to turn away under the im- pped nt of pression that we had received authority from government to suppress their cus- toms. Buf now they receive us in a friendly manner, and ask us now and then was i & to tell them a word of God. Still few as yet have made up their minds to vi- sit our services, though they come to hear us when preaching in the streets. ] the Some time ago we were interrupted by two intoxicated young men, who swore [ook ] the by the king of Akropong that every one would have to pay a fine for listening to us. Their leader made an attempt the same night at shooting himself, but d has was hindered by the elders of the place. He was so sorry for what he had g, bt done that the next day he called some of our converts, asked their pardon, and ey intreated them not to inform government of his mishehaviour. pIO On July the 22nd I was permitted to baptize seven persons. One was the t0 560 wife of one of our converts, and had at first great dificulties to overcome. Her d hums mother threatened that she would cut her cushion in token of entirely reject- | Jion's ron 10 ing her from the family, if sh¢ joined the Christians. She replied, “I cannot hinder your cutting the cushidn, but I must become Christian !” Returning to 1 wh(]m her husband however, she told him of her great afiliction. “You see,” she said, , after “my mother and family renounce me; will you never forsake or reject me ? will o have you he to me instead of my family ?” The husband of course promised all with 1te0ts sincere joy.—On the 14th October another youth was baptized. His family Xe s opposed his wish for some time. At last the headman asked him whether he gl was really resolved ypon being baptized. The youth proving in good earnest, the man added, “Well, there are many bad people among the Christians, but a0, Yo God’s word is good! We will permit you to join the church on condition that I ﬂsked you beceme a real Christian; then you may rest agsured that others of our fa- )it?”’ mily will follow your example.” p Several young men of Tutu, a place four miles distant from this, have re- Joes 106 peatedly desired me to establish a school at their village. ‘I went to talk the (o oast business over with the headman. They said that they indeed liked to have a school 10 or in their village, but added, that no resident could be allowed to eat of a new g 47 crop of yams before: some of it had been offered to the idols. I told them at — 7 YU N — once that we could have nothing to do with their fetishes. Those young men at last prevailed upon their elders to give in, who however could not help add- ing a request for something to drink. One young convert lives here already, and a second is preparing for baptism. At other places similar doors are open- ing, but from wants of means we are unable to extend our operations. Ag We add a soul-stirring scene from a letter of Sister Dieterle’s of the 6th November 1860. It is a pretty well known fact, that ill-formed negro children are without at mercy killed immediately after birth, Such especially is the case with so-cal- 4 led six-finger-children. Now it happened in October last that one of our con- b verts passing near a cottage, heard many voices and the whining of a babe. 10f; He entered and discovered a new-born six-finger-girl in a large pot of water. He seized the child and carried her to the mission-house. Next day I visited B the mother to engage her as nurse for the poor babe. But what a sight! The enfl woman sat on the floor, covered with dirt, and wrapped in rags, a picture of Wa despair. When I asked her, whether she would not become the child’s nurse, she replied after some hesitation, “I have nothing to say to this business; ask pow my elder brother!” He was at once sent for. In the meantime I spoke to the tirig iy child’s father, who coldly replied, “A cast-away thing is not taken up again!” Some negro women encouraged the mother to go up to the white people. “You od Listen to us and will see,” they said, “that they take good care of the girl j OY& go; you will then have another child which shall prove all right, for God will i bless you.” At last the brother arrived. After a consultation of several hours with his younger brother and other members of the family they decided at last, Al that they would permit the mother to nursethe child, if wewould pay them five st dollars. This demand was much too high. At last they agreed at the inter- tO p}’q cession of some converts to take one dollar and a half. When the mother ar- OfSO rived at our house accompanied by a ecrowd of women and children, we assign- ed her a room and directed two girls of the hoarding school to attend to all her 80mg wants. Her husband and mother-in-law remained with her till night-time, in- fruit tending to kill the child when all were asleep. But we interfered. The next Pl' B¢ day the mother continued greatly dejected. On inquiry we learnt, that shehad given the priest much money on his promise, that she should have a well-form- Ig)‘ ed child, and now she felt bitterly disappointed. We seized this good op- t portunity to direct her to the living God, and she replied several times, “What you say is true indeed!” Since then she has grown very fond of the child, which the bas been baptized. She plays with her and seemns to he very happy. berg { hag b Jouh o sty b W 113 IV.

Mean time the brethren Stroem- berg and Kromer have erected two cottages. Their colleague Br. Haas has been forced by failure of health to retreat to Akropong and to go to sea. The small flock of twelve souls at Gyadam was scattered. Four youths who had been baptized there before disturbances broke out, fled to Christiansborg, whence they were sent to Akropong.

My time is taken up with visiting the sick, instructing inquirers, superintending the workmen, and 1 ad- preaching in the streets and houses of the town. The chief has promised to send hief of four of his sons to the school, which is now attended by eleven boys. Many vesents of the people in the town now understand the object of our labours. A nd sav man told me the other day, that he had heard people say: Jesus was the O king of kings. Many know that they must be born again, and that Jesus ay 1Y is their Saviour. May the fire soon be kindled in our beloved Akem coun- s hap- try, and may its stately forests soon resound with the praises of the Lord. Amen, so let it be! ogioes negl’OCS In concluding this review of the Society’s labours in Western Af- al, B rica, we acknowledge with sincere gratitude, that this mission has Heav- evidently gained in influence and importance. It is an undeniable fact, en ﬂley that tribes which have no missions yet, are most anxious for teachers. orldly It is a fact, that the fetish-priests are no longer able to hold the péople sf&éd not in thraldom. The headmen, although many of them personally op- s from (hod P posed to the gospel, can no longer prevent members of their families from joining the Christian church, and often in their difficulties have recourse to the missionaries. Jove for Many of the people moreover begin to ﬂiﬂ' hiid acknowledge the yoke of idolatry to be intolerable, and to feel that the 1o writ’e gospel alone can give them happiness and salvation. o 10 ol h 490 secediog” e gtend® " P o 10 Sl q CHINA MISSION. ol (o Sinee the establishment of this mission in 1847, the Society’s la- the bourers addressed themselves especially to the Haldkas of the Sinon They studied their peculiar dialect, (h district, opposite to Hongkong. tro and were the means of collecting a native church of nearly two hun- Ohé dred souls, when their Izbours were interrupted by the late Chinese war hel 00U Of the first two missionaries Br. Hamberg died in- 1854, and in fall 1858 Br. Lechler was forced by the state of his health to return to | Europe. Br. Winnes, who had joined the mission in 1852, being con- lifs sequently left alone, Br. Martig was sent to his assistance. He set Sepal out from Basel in 1859, and after a visit to the Society’s stations on T ey hold the Western coast of India, proceeded early in 1860 to Ceylon, whence le intended to embark for Hongkong; but missing the time of the Phace hezg, steamer’s departure, he was obliged to take his passage via Calcutta the 1 and Singapore. At last arrived at his post, his health soon failed so Solen entirely, that he will be obliged to return to Europe.- Br. Winnes al- haye 80 is much reduced in health and scarcely able to attend to his various thefy duties. Under these circumstances it is a matter of great gratitude 1 \)g bay that Br. Lechler’s health has been sufficiently restored to allow of his Uiy return to the country of his adoption. He left Basel with his partner Spﬂit | ou the 15th September last to embark from England on board of the o Traveller, sailing round the Cape. diﬁ"lcula sl Up to October 1859 Br. Winnes was by the war almost entirely eut off from the Hakka church at Lilong, the Society’s prineipal sta- ey 0 they tion in the interior. He resided in the mean time at Hongkong, where Of heg he met with many opportunities for preaching the gospel, and had the hag o satisfaction of baptizing twelve persons before returning fo the main- 0f gy land. Although deprived of the constant attention of a European Woyg I missionary for a considerable time, and subjected to great afflictions lie\i“g, by their neighbors, the Lilong converts on the whole behaved well. n G Y atty The prospects of the mission however, are far from encouraging at iy, present. The small flock is much more likely to lose than to gain in iy a numbers, unless new doors be thrown open by the power of God. Vidhy = (o Several families and single persons from amongour convertshave join= ed the ‘bodies of emigrants collected under the auspices of the British lo- Government for the West Indies, and others appear ‘inclined to follow 000 them, especially since the agents seem to give preference to native Christians. lect Although their departure is much to be regretted, we 0= trust they will prove a wholesome leaven among their associates. Nor 1856 ought they to be found fault with for yielding to the favourable offers held out to them, while disorder and insecurity prevail in their native country, and the means of supporting themselves in an honest way are d failing. Br. Winnes says of his Lilong eonverts :— n 10 con When I paid them a visit a year ago, they showed greater activity and life than at present. No doubt the joy of seeing each other after a long 0 get separation was great at first. Since, however, I reside again among them 1§ 01 I cannot resist the impression that timidity and want of Spirit have taken fence hold of them. This state of things arises from various causes. In the first £ e place, during the last three years they have rather lostthan gained in num- bers. Moreover in consequence of the late war and our banishment from Joutta the interior, their heathen necighbours have assumed a more hostile and in- 1 4 g solent bearing than in former days, and the Christians being intimidated (& gl have submitted with a spirit by far too passive, instead of boldly professing M 19 their faith, Many also have now discovered that no worldly advantages are ano fde to he gained by the profession of Christianity. Many erroneous .and false hopes atitic hlu bave been disappointed. We are, however, thankful for this change. Still, of under such circumstances not many conversions can be expected, unless the jart bl fila! spirit of God stir up the hearts and minds of the people. 'Future inquirers ()E {he also will need much deeper convictions in order to break through all the difficulties they are now surrounded with. Many a time have I asked my- self, why most of our people were of the lowest and poorest ranks. I was ;ntllely xeminded of the words of our Lord that “the poor have the gospel preached o} st to them,” and again “that a rich man shall enter hardly into' the kingdom Whel 4 of heaven.” Still ' I could not conceal from myself that many of our people o the had been led to us not so much by the gospel, as by their own poverty. Of many a one also it must still be admitted that he considers a dollar a , il more powerful cordial than the blessing of God.—I do not think Ierrin be- ) lieving, that during the past three years the Hakkas of the Sinon district ftion’ in: general have considerably lost in worldly prosperity. This decline is part- ly attributable to their endless contentions. Provoked by paltry offences, ol el 7] eaﬁ family wages war against family, and village against village. Money and ggiﬂ lives are lost and whole places destroyed, before reconciliation is thought of. gaiﬂ in By the late Chinese war the authority of the native government has been so o o 10% bl s AS\ entirely undermined, that they do no longer possess the power of interfering Vice in such affairs. Altogetlier I am afraid, we shall derive very little advan- tage from the war. It is true, foreigners are now permitted to reside in the interior; but public order and security have so entirely disappeared, that their to sojourn in the land is beset with as great danger as ever.—Another source i 16 of the impoverished state of the Hakkas must be traced to their prejudices ohe with regard to marriage; and these our converts also have not yet got over. 1V If 2 son does not marry as soon as possible in order to propagate his fath- er'’s noble race, he is considered guilty of great meglect in his filial duties. e ] An unmarried man enjoys norespect whatever, and why should he, since he VeI is thought not to fulfil the great object of life. The chief care of parents ac- 1¢he cordingly isto furnish their sons with brides, and as these must be bought, some- B W times for £ 40, 50, 60 and more, the whole fortune of a family may thus be ex- pended. The sons, although considerably poorer than their parents, must buy brides for their sons again, whether they have anything left to live upon or | 10 not, and thus sink still deeper in the scale of prosperity. Our converts ad- Ig i 11 mit the evils arising from such a system, but still they have not yet ventured 40 break the fetters of custom. haves In a letter of the 17th June 1860 Br., Winnes was able to give Dy more cheerful accounts of the work entrusted to his hands; although and ( at the same time there was much to grieve him. He writes:— Br, T On the 3d June I baptized nine persons, three adults and six children. There was among them my Chinese teacher, sixty-eight years of age. He is 1elatig convinced of the falsehood of idolatry and of the truth of the Christian re- Whet} Br. ) ligion. He is also sorry for many sins of his past life, but still lacks an in- sight into the thoroughly corrupt state of his own heart. At the same time f(]l’ ﬂ]g he is modest and able to discern between things becoming and dishonouring Cloyg the Christian profession. Dty As to the Lilong church, matters look better, thank God. The services take { are well attended. The natives are Hostilities however ‘are again a-stir. throg afraid lest the religion of foreigners should spread. There is a rumour that 10ischie a body of bad people intend to set our chapel on fire. But the Lordis our dispe] t defence. lecisiy We are deeply grieved by the relapse of Br. Lechler’s late teacher Tai, 11!][}16' into the worship of ancestors. In former days he used to preach ‘the gospel Wetelly to his countrymen and collected a small congregation at his native place Rt yig Hachung. But his Christianity appears to have been raised on 2 Chinese ]&St Oy foundation. He has now separated from the mission, and keeps a shop at foy ( Hongkong, in which idols also are sold. It is not to be wondered that such thg ) of his adherents at Hachung, as have no better ground of their faith than 0 L any his, are likewise falling off,—The other day we had another cause of gricf. by, L dmae ring A sum of money was stolen from our chest, while we attended divine ser- yan- viee. ) the Hung-ching, formerly a disciple of Br. Hamberg’s, and a relation heir urce to the rebel Tartar emperor, has now joined the insurgents and is at dices the head of their civil administration, fourth in rank among their OVeL chiefs, and bearing the title of Kang Wang. Although he has so far fath- given in to the views of his party, as to marry several wives, yet he is nties. well acquainted with the demands of the Christian religion, and well o hie versed in the Scriptures. 3 a0 In a new work of his, approved of by the §0me rebel emperor, he strongly advocates the introduction of Christianity, as well as of European manufactures and institutions. he ex ¢ buy In 1854 a Chinese youth, Ten-fuk by name, accompanied the late on OF Mrs. Hamberg to Basel, and after a short stay in our Mission College, s ad- returned to his native country. He lives with Br. Winnes and be- hured haves well. Some time ago his mother died at Ha-chung, and her burial gave occasion to a strange conflict between Christian manners ] gi\’e and Chinese prejudices, as will appear from the following account of hough Br. Winnes’: Ten-fuk was anxious to obtain Christian burial for his mother, but his 11&1 eh He 18 relations strongly objected. Acquainted with their avarice, he asked them jan 10 whether they would pay the expenses, upon which they kept their peace. Br. Martig and myself, accompanied by six pupils of ours, went now over an in- for the burial. o fime Upon our arrival we found the empty coffin surrounded by a onting crowd of people in the middle of the principal thoroughfare, from which a narrow lane leads to Ten-fuk’s house; for his uncles had forbidden him to rices take the coffin through that lane. They said, the body must be dragged through it into the thoroughfare to be placed into the coffin, for otherwise 68 are mischief would befall the neighbors, as no Buddhist priests were at hand to ar ot d is our dispel the evil spirits and destroy their influence. I declared in a friendly but decisive manner, that I insisted upon having the body laid in the coffin at home. They told me atlast to act as I liked; but the bearers having been " T4, What was to be done? I could ol secretly instructed by them, would not stir, o §o5F not yield to their superstition and bigotry, and yet they would not move. At (. ]ac last one of my companions hit upon an expedient. He offered the bearers Ghincse shop it a few copper coins, when all of them gave in at once. The coffin was taken h to the house, the body placed in it, and then carried through the lane with- i ¢ 511(} out any more hindrance. Fear and confusion seized the relations, and they i i than told Ten-fuk that he would have to pay for any damage that should ensue by o ofioh Gl o e S the death of a dog, pig, orfowl. In the thoroughfare we halted to sing-a hymn and address the people. At the grave another hymn was sung and a prayer offered. The Committee entirely agree with their missionaries in basing their hopes of future progress in China noton the victories andtreaties of ot of European nations, but solely on Him who says, “Not by might, nor oens by power, but by my spirit!” Far from being disheartened, they look Com forward to new seasons of grace; for China also ‘must be laid to the 1ore feet .of the Lord of glory! ary Wher e defic I 2 43’ Clong / § C Jj I I 4 Ch OU L e hyme prayet CONCLUSION. asing A few remarks about the present financial position eafies of our Society will suffice to justify our appeal to the i, mor generosity of our Friends and Supporters which we are i look ) the compelled this time to make certainly no less, if not more urgent than in previous years. The gross income of the Basel Evangelical Mission- ary Society amounted last year to Rs. 213,303 (£21,330), whereas the expenditure rose to 254,422, exhibiting a deficit of Rs. 41,119.

We have one word more to say, though not as a complaint, for which this would not be The Indian Government have seen fit the right place. to refuse our petition for exemption from the Income tax, ruling that our sustenance-allowances should be treated like salaries. That this decision is evidently illiberal if not unjust we beg to show by the simple fact, that not one of us can lay by for himself a single rupee with- out violating the regulations of our Society, and all the yearly surplus which any missionary may have, must re- turn to the general Mission Fund, so that in reality we have no income whatever. What, then, is in our case the object of taxation? We can only find two answers: cither our very expenditure must be taxed, which is ra- ther a curious fact, or the Funds of the Society, which as religious funds have been exempted by the same CENSUS oF THE MISSIONS. Government. We trust that the liberal assistance of our Friends to whom we would communicate also this fact as it were n confidence, will make up for this not inconsiderable ad- ditional expenditure. The Lord to whom we recom- mend the whole of our Mission in conclusion, will not for- et nor leave unrewarded any act or gift of love spring- ing from a heart which longs to see huis holy Gospel proclaimed throughout the world and all the nations gathered into one fold under one shepherd.
