REPORT.

In laying before the Friends and Supporters of our Mission a short

account of the events of the past year, as well as of the present state

of our work, we find it more difficult than in former years to describe

in a few words the peculiar character of the period under review-

The work of the Basel Mission in Western India, Western Africa, and

China has by the Lord’s grace become far more widely extended than

was anticipated even by the most hopeful 25 years ago, and although

we must still reckon ourselves among the minor societies, yet so ex-

tended have become our operations, that one and the same year may

witness decided and encouraging progress in one portion of the field,

whilst in other parts we may not be free from losses and discourage-

ments.

Suffice it to say, and we confess it with heart-felt gratitude

towards our Lord, the great Head of His church throughout the world,

that He has enabled us daring another year to carry on His work

without interruption, and that we can fully sympathize with our Home

Committee in saying: “He has not failed to bless our mission also this

time, He has given us grace and strength to do his work vigorously

anc

U

here and there, yea he has allowed us even to see many pl

ing fruits

of our labor.” And though many of us individually would long to sce

more to encourage him in his work of faith, yet all have reason for

continuing steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the

Lord, forasmuch as we know that our labor is not in vain in the Lord.

We would direct the attention of our Friends first to our Indian

Mission, then to Africa and China, lastly to the home affairs and the

financial position of our Society.

2

Lhi

]

Western India

Notwithstanding great pecuniary embarrassments, continually in-

i

creasing, our Committee, fully sensible of the great loss occasioned

by the absence of an unusual number of our elder brethren, who were

compelled by failing health to return to Europe in the previous year,

resolved to send forth fresh laborers in their stead

They, by the Lord’s preserving goodness arrived safely at Bombay

in September last, wheuce they each started for their respective desti-

nations, viz

Brother Schmidli to Cannanore

Br. Miiller to Mangalore

Br. Wenger to the Nilagiris

and Br. Costa to Dharwar

The latter, it will be interesting to mention, had left this his native

country for Germany, and after having passed through our Mission

College course returns to proclaim the truths of the blessed Gospel to

his own people

Oh the other hand, we have lost the services of Br. Roth of Betti-

gherry who was obliged to accompany his wife to Europe to seek the

restoration of her health, having suffered long from serious ailments.

There is much reason to apprehend another reduction of the mission-

aries in the Southern Mahratta country, by the protracted illness of an

éxperienced laborer whose departure for Europe seems to be unavoid-

able.

But we are happy to add that one of those senior brethren

who went home two years ago, has under God’s blessing been enabled

to return with invigorated health—Br. Fritz with his partner is now

A few members

were in danger of being enticed away by the Roman Catholics; but as

one of them who had yielded to the temptation fell into a severe ill-

ness almost immediately afterwards and died in a miserable state of

mind, a great and, we trust, lasting impression was perceptible especi-

ally among the younger people. Many families have been visited by

the Lord in a similar manner, with illness, and we heartily hope that

such chastening may bear the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them.

The various ScH0oLS of our station are on the whole in a pros-

present necessarily employed in them.

he returned to his station in better health, though not very strong, and

re-entered upon the work. At Mulky Br. Brigel and Br. Hartmann

were uninterruptedly oeccupied; the former with the congregation and

the latter with the Orphanage and other schools. After the monsoon

there which had not been done formerly, and every Wednesday evening

they met with a erowd of attentive hearers in the Mulky Bazar. The

cord requesting our brethren to take the superintendence; Br, Hart-

mann therefore devoted to it as much time as his other duties would

permit.—Preaching excursions were madein Septemberby two breth-

together with Br. Biihrer of Mangalore and three catechists were

busily engaged at Dharmasthala and Subrahmanya in offering the ever-

lasting Gospel to the multitudes of pilgrims crowding those celebrat-

ed places.

The labor of the brethren among the ConcrEcATION has not been

without its blessings. The Christian walk of the greater part has been

consistent and though quarrels have occasionally arisen yet we have

had strong and pleasing proof of brotherly love existing amongst them,

for their pastors were surprised one day by receiving from them nearly

Rs. 50 on behalf of their starving fellow-Christians in Travancore, a

large amount, considering their general poverty. The heathen around

The stations of the Coorg country have by orders of our Com-

il

mittee now been incorporated with the Canara District of our mission

al

to which they have the nearest relation on account of the language in

fo.

which they hear the gospel being sufficiently understood by the Coorg

people generally. Yet on account of the scarcity of laborers we were

f

hardly able to cast the net farther among the heathen around. The

the

wants of the Anandapura settlement appeared to be too urgent and

o

could not be properly satisfied until of late when the Committee di-

rected Br. Kaufmann of Dharwar to serve as a pastor of the congre-

gation there; whilst Br. Hahn continues at the management of the

faith, courage, and patience.

stood on their side, amidst a great deal of dissatisfaction and hatred

prevailing on the other, whilst a few families continued to rejoice our

hearts by a truly Christian walk. The chaff, it was very clear, must

The personal sfaff of this station was by order of our Committee,

entirely changed towards the end of the year, Br. and Sr- Kaufmann

together with Br. Brunner residing here only till the beginning of

October, when the latter removed to Hoobly and Br- Kaufmann with

his partner started to join the Coorg Mission. In their stead Br. Huber

was sent from Hoobly to Dharwar—he will be assisted by a native

minister Br. Costa who has lately arrived from Europe. Also a cate-

chist is being ti*ansferfed just now from Mangalore to Dharwar to help

the brethren with a hope that with the Lord’s will, this barren place

may be made more fruitful for the kingdom of God.

<

The CONGREGATION is so small and partly owing to change of

abode of some of its members has still been more reduced of late so

that the Parochial School had to be given up forithe present.

of the Vernacular Schools are going on pretty much as before, whilst

The heathen population of Dhar*;var appears to be still indifferent and

even averse to the Gospel offered unto them for so many years, and

a Roman Catholic Mission lately set up is doing its utmost in addition

to make people suspicious, and is thus hardening the soil against the

good seed. Br. Kaufmann did not fail either to preach in the town

nearly every day or to make excursions around chiefly Northward. In

the month of September he visited about 16 towns and villages of the

Dharwar and Belgaum Collectorates, but he seldom met with willing

hearers, though at some places having schools his books were gladly

received and even Scripture portions readily bought. May the Lord

at last mercifully look also upon this mission-field !

Br. Huber has enjoyed better health than in any previous year since

he came out to India, and was enabled to make several preaching

tours, ustally accompanied by his own faithful assistant, his former

a

Moonshi, whose conversion unto Christ we reported two years ago-

cl

i

This young man has to our great joy now resolved upon going through

a regular course of instruction to enable him to become a catechist,

and consequently entered the Preparandi School at Mangalore for

fi

that purpose.

The catechists now present at Hoobly had their full

share in the work both at the place and on preaching excursions, when

they found opportunity to converse also with Mahommedans in Hin-

She is the wife of the formerly menticned

On the verge of the grave

the Lord inclined her heart unto him and much to the surprise of all,

a

she recovered slowly but steadily after her baptism. Another family

none of them are willing to be the first. At Hebsuru, another village

in the neighborhood, three men profess a desire to be baptized, but

the difficulty is how to provide for their bodily subsistence, if they

would venture to confess Christ.

Yet also this place, we trust, may

be an outstation of Hoobly in a few years.—The walk of our Christi-

ans is such as to give mno offence in general, the services are well

attended, and so are other devotional exercises conducted by the

catechists in the evenings. A zeal for the Mission at large manifested

itself when an invitation came from the Christians at Guledagudda for

a missionary meeting to be held there and 19 members of the Hoobly

congregation accompanied Br. Huber to that place- This journey was

also a testimony for the cause of Christ’s Church in the eyes of all

the people around. But much more was done by Br. Huber’s excur-

sions to the East and South East in January and February 1861, to

also made his first preaching tour in December with one of the cate-

chists, and so we may say, much good seed has been sown also in

those districts.

Amidst manifold experiences of a more common nature Br. Huber was very

much surprised by the reception he met with at a certain town where he had

ing the town a number of the inhabitants crowded around him and conducted

him to the chief temple where he lodged for threc days and received visitors

all the day long. His addresses in thebazar were listened to with extraordinary

friendliness and he was even requested to come not every two years only but

every two months at least.

A brahman, who continued with him almost un-

interruptedly day and night and even took him home to his own house,at last

confessed: “What I have lived hitherto is all in vain, but I hope that now by

the Lord’s grace I shall become an altered man.”

Yet with him too the word

seemed to have some truth which another brahman told the missionary: “You

little know what a thousand fetters are holding a man of my rank and makeit

impossible for him to do according to his own religious persuasion.” Now

and then Br. Huber was rejoiced to find hearers going with him from one place

to another to learn more of the word which they confessed to be agreeable to

their conscience as well as experience.

Surely, there are many souls prepared

for the kingdom of God, yea unconsciously drawing nearer and nearer to the

same.

At the end of the year 1861 Br. and Sr. Wiirth

were again de-

prived of their fellow-labourers in consequence of Br. Roth being ob-

liged to accompany his partner to Europe. Another assistant wanted

especially to superintend the Vernacular Schools and the Girls’ Board-

ing school, is to join them by order of our Committee, from another

quarter of our Indian Mission.

The work was carried on, however,

during the past yearas well as these unfavourable circumstances would

permit.

Br.- Wiirth visited a great heathen festival in the month of

May, and Br- Roth made a longer tour to the South, where he found

many attentive hearers at several places and sold a number of tracts.

At Bettigherry itself the brethren were allowed to see fruit of their

labours in the conversion of the son of a wealthy silk-manufacturer-

The young man called Subbanna had, as is frequently the case, to go through

many trials, before he was at liberty to join the congregation, and an unusual

excitement prevailed at the station during those weeks. Subbanna had listened

to the missionaries’ preaching in the bazar for some years with more than ordi-

nary attention and at last declared before Br. Wiirth that he intended joining

the Christians, when he received a more regular instruction in the way of life.

After three months had elapsed he one Sunday morning, the 4th of August

1861 really came to the mission house together with his three sons in order to

remain there. But a fearful struggle ensued. All his relations and other people

following him demanded the children to be delivered unto them and after much

quarrelling and tumult broke through the door and actually carried them away

by force.

The father, however, was not moved and by taking a meal with the

Christians made his own return to his caste-fellows impossible. By a law-suit

e

he afterwards recovered his children in spite of the lies and perjury of hisoppo-

nents.

His wife has not yet joined him, nor shown any inclination to do so.

Though the coNGREGATION is still very small we may take it as a

sign of some progress that the establishment of a separate Parochial

Boys’ School has appeared to be necessary. Two months ago it was

commenced, and placed under the Catechist who besides his teaching

in this school, assists Br. Wiirth in the superintendence of the Verna-

cular Schools, in his literary labors, and in public preaching which has

been persevered in as usual both at Bettigherry and Gadag. Some souls

inquiring after salvation have always been met with on these occasions

whilst others listen only aslong as they consider it something new. Br.

Wiirth does not expect great results for the next, yet is determined

to work on with faith and patience.

He was pleased also with the

condition of two of the Vernacular Schools, whereas a third had suf-

fered from the disadvantage of repeated changes of teachers. Several

men expressed their satisfaction and gratitude when their sons left the

themselves as well as the members of the congregation suffered from

attacks of fever every now and then, by which Br. Leonberger, after

many years' struggling with this great drawback of the place, was at

length so much reduced in health that his return to Europe has become

unavoidable. Br. Krauss too- fell sick, only half ayear after his arrival

and thus was sadly interrupted in his study of the language.

The

Catechist Christian Suchy whose state of health had long been very

poorly, departed this life in the month of June 1861, whereby the

brethren lost his faithful services just at a time when they most need-

ed them.

These outward trials were accompanied by no less grievous ex-

at another place, among them were a good number of the catechumeni

the rest of whom had to be dismissed for similar reasons.

These

wretched people in general do not think of returning to open heathen-

ism, they continue professing to be Christians still, but they have no

mind to subject their own life and walk to the power of light and

LSOO

truth or to abandon what they lived in according to their former

heathenish state.

We pray that the chastening spirit of the Lord

may at some future time teach them the necessary consequences of

embracing Christianity. The number of the boysin the Orphanage too

has been diminished. Norwas the attendance of the Vernacular School

at Mulagunda satisfactory, chiefly on account of the cholera raging

around to an alarming degree during the months of April and May-.

A little more encouragement Br. Leonberger derived from a PREACH-

ING EXCURSION which he made to the South in November and Decem-

ber

He witnessed a considerable stir among the people there and was

able to sell more tracts, than would have been received gratuitously

some years ago.

Once in a large house he was requested before an

fion

assembly of about fifty or sixty persons to answer to a number of re-

e

ligious questions such as these: “Who is God and how can we know

from

him? What is the origin of caste, and how is it with the transmigration

after

of the soul? Why is man inclined to sin and how can he get rid of

) ab

this propensity? What do you hold concerning the resurrection and

comeé

eternity.”

The explanations which the missionary joyfully gave were

listened to very attentively and without any opposition. May the

The

Lord grant us many such inquirers!

ety

Though we cannot see at present how the work of this station may

be effectually carried on in future, we recommend it with confidence

into the faithful hands of Him with whom nothing is impossible.

It is a relief to turn to this station from the rather sad aspect of

m

the preceding one.

Though we are still unable to report the arrival

by,

A circular was written in the Canarese language by the members of the

Som

Guledagudda congregation inviting their fellow-Christians at other stations to

oy

this long-wished-for opportunity of brotherly intercourse.

They readily and

cheerfully responded to the call and consequently 82 persons from Hoobly,

Malasamudra and Bettigherry arrived at Guledagudda together with Br. Huber.

The two days set apart for the missionary meeting will, we trust, long be in

their remembrance as days of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. The

men assembled for prayer in the mornings, and all the after-noon men, women,

and children crowded together listening to the addresses of missionaries, cate-

chists and other Christians till sunset.

Though six speeches were made each

day none appeared to be tired of hearing, and Br. Kies concluded the whole

with the words of the 133d psalm: Behold, how good and how pleasant it is

for brethren to dwell together in unity! The hospitality shown on the occasion

as well as the conferences which the older members of the congregations held

by themselves, gave an additional proof that there was some reality in those

words, and even the heathen looked with astonishment and respect on a festival

so different from theirs and yet so much superior, affording, instead of carnal

pleasures, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Excepting this great event in the life of the congregation nothing

unusual occurred during the past year.

The attendance at the ser-

gt

vices, the family-worship, the behaviour of parents and children in

their homes has been satisfactory. The temporal subsistence of our

people too is well provided for, the Wealthy among them giving em-

ployment to the poorer. Two members of the congregation have been

elected to constitute a presbytery. The catechist is as useful and

endeared to Br. Kies as he ever was.

Moreover, a cheering prospect

for a future time is given by the entrance in November 1861 of the

first youth into the Preparandi school at Mangalore.

The omly thing

to be wished for at present appears to be a greater increasein number.

Br. Kies who with his partner has been graciously preserved in

good health, made his usual PrREACHING TOUR to the Sangama festival

t of

in April and a longer one to the villages eastward in November and

ival

December, when he had many opportunities of inviting a great num-

and

ber of attentive hearers to the fountain of living waters. At the for-

sing

mer place especially where his regular visits have acquired some no-

en @

toriety, he rejoiced to meet with people who had come from a great

hrat-

distance with the express desire to know the new doctrine proclaimed

361

by the missionary. His constant wish, therefore, is to be relieved in

i the

some measure from the ordinary work at the station and thus to have

The year under review has again seen considerable changes among

aftery

the laborers of this station.

In the first days of January Br. and Sr-

by By

Strobel arrived from Palghaut as the successors of the Senior Br.

reaq

aked

Miiller, who left this for Germany only a few days afterwards. Miss

Woulg

M. Will formerly employed in the Girls’ School at Mangalore,

an y;

arrived in August, in order to lend her valuable aid to the hitherto

much neglected School at Chirakal. The month of October witnessed

the arrival of Br. Schmidli whom the Home Committee sent out for the

work at Chowa.

{ml()]jg

was fransferred to Chombala and the sickly Samuel Alakaden died

of consumption in August last.

Another change of a different nature is still to be recorded. Cate-

chist Stocking who was among the first settlers at Chowa, and who

hoch

stood the brunt of all the difficulties, which necessarily arise in every

new settlement of that kind, felt the necessity of a change and was

consequently removed to Cannanore.

Timothy Parayil, once laboring

for nearly 7 years among the Chowa people when the latter were still

at Anjarkandy,—was sent from Cannanore to fill up Stocking’s place.

The CoxerEgaTION was naturally influenced by the changes of

srael

the leaders. Several younger members of the Cannanore congregation,

not willing to submit to our Church discipline, left us; but others who

had formerly left us in the same way, felt the chastening hand of

the Lord and returned.—These were encouraging facts ; but the Lord

had still greater blessings in store for us.

It was in the month of June and the cholera then fearfully raging all round

Cannanore, that Br. Strobel visited Chiracal—our outstation. Catechist J oseph

in charge of the widow House there, presented an intelligent looking youth of

about 20 years of age who, he said, had come with the firm desire to hecome

a Christian. When questioned about his motives for coming here the young

man replied: “I began to read the word of God some 5 years ago and the verse :

be that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not

shall be damned—troubled me very much. My convictions deepened when

among

afterwards I visited the Malayalam and the English School (both established

by Br. Hebich). The cholera carrying off so many victims forced upon me the

nd S

dreadful thought of eternity and I desire to be saved at any price.” Br. Strobel

or B

asked him if he knew the consequences when turning a Christian and that he

Miss

would have to bear a cross for Christ’s sake? He answered in the affirmative

and recommended himself into our prayers that he might be enabled to stand.

agal()l'e)

hithertﬂ

There was a great work of grace commenced in him and Br. Strobel would

have taken him at once to Cannanore, had he not had some accounts to settle

sl

with his elder brother, for whom he superintended the building of a house.

f for ﬂle

So two days’ leave was asked and he parted. Will he come or not ? An ominous

question within those two days.

Yes, he came before the evening of the 2nd

day had fully set in and that same night, after fervent prayer, he surrendered

his tail, the badge and bulwark of caste. As he belonged to a respectable family

The young wife, on seeing her husband; de-

the

that she was not willing to leave her husband.

Flattery and threats were

profusely used but in vain.

The people were then bent upon using violence,

when Br. Strobel calling in the aid of the Police, secured to Shangara his young

In our last report we meuntioned the departure for Europe of the

senior missionary of this stafion Br. Irion.

The hearty sympathy

manifested on that occasion by all the church-members followed him

and subsequently found an expression in a letter forwarded to our Home

Committee by which they, quite of their own accord, expressed their

gratitude for having possessed such a teacher for twenty years and

begged to send him back immediately after the restoration of his health;

for he is ours, they said. The younger brethren, not a little encourag-

ed by such a token of gratitude, continued to carry on the labors of

the station asheretofore, Br. Aldinger taking charge of the congrega-

tion, Br. Burkhardt of the Preparandi School, and Br. Reinhardt of

the Anglo-Vernacular School- There was no interruption of the ordi-

nary and regular coursein all these departments, except a very pleas-

ing one occasioned by the first large Missionary meeting of our

Malabar stations on the 13th of February 1861.

B e

More than 200 Christians may have been assembled together so that the

he

mission chapel could not hold them all.

The addresses of both missionaries

e

and catechists were listened to most attentively, but especially we had reason

to give thanks unto the Lord for the concluding act, when the four catechists

of

who had passed an examination in November 1860, were presented to the con-

gregation and setapart for theirwork by the laying on ef hands. One of them,

we regret to add, departed this life only a few months afterwards.

We regret toy say that this station had again the di-sadvantage of

the

the entire absence of missionaries for some months of the past year.

6l§

Br. and Sr. Diez were called to Calicut in May 1861 and temporarily

Mar

stationed there, whilst on the other hand Br. Hanhart who has now

from

returned to the scene of his former labors could not get away from

at P

Palghaut before the beginning of August. Though the brethren of

Croy

Tellicherry lent their assistance every Sunday and Br. Diez paid occa-

50 1

sional visits to his former congregation, it was unavoidable but that

Congy

part of the work was left to the catechists whose number had been

isty,

reduced by the necessity of pensioning one of them on account of his

Lorg

old age and bad health. His place was filled up again when another

Of the remaining members some families give a good example by a

peaceful and steady Christian walk, whilst a few others had to be sub-

jected to church-discipline.

As a considerable part of the adults are

unable to read, the catechists are in the habit of conducting family-

b

1)

worship by turns in their respective houses.

Three souls belonging

to the Tier-caste have been received by baptism; among them we

were specially rejoiced to see the young man who had served Br. Han-

hart as a moonshee since 1858 and has now entered the Preparandi

School at Tellicherry-

We pray the Lord who called him that He

may make him a useful laborer in his vineyard.

The Parochial as

well as the Vernacular Scmoons have been

taken care of as much as possible by both missionaries and catechists,

but their progress can scarcely be called satisfactory this time, as the

attendance was not regular enough, partly owing to cholera which

even compelled us to close one of them altogether for a season.

The Worxk amone THE HEATHEN, we are glad to state, has not been

discontinued,

Both the brethren who were on the spot at different

times, have not only frequently visited the houses and compounds in

age of

the neighborhood where they met with very different classes of hear-

ers, but have made several longer excursions too.

In February and

oranly

March 1861 Br. Diez accompanied by no less than 6 Catechists

5 10V

from Cannanore, Tellicherry, and Chombala, visited the great festivals

i from

at Payawoor and Taliparamboo, where many thousands of idolaters

el of

crowding for their worship have seen and heard our missionaries for

so many years that the presence of the padre at those opportunities is

d oced

considered as a matter of course among them.

There was not any

4 et

disturbance of our preaching and we felt encouraged to know that the

fof hi

Lord has again permitted us to do something for His word, and for the

testimony of Jesus Christ.

In October and November Br. Hanhart

anoﬂlel'

with one of the catechists made a preaching tour to the North as far

as the borders of the Malayalam country where he met Br. Biihrer of

Mangalore engaged in a similar journey ; and in December he with seven

Nearly all the brethren of this station had to pass through mani-

1 {

fold trials and tribulations during the past year.

First Br. Convert,

&

overburdened by his cares for the congregation and his labors among

ing

the heathen around, got so ill in the month of April that even his de-

t]lo;

parture for Europe was insisted upon by his medical advisers. A stay

tom

on the Nilagiris, however, from May till October, did him good beyond

1§ f

all expectation, and with greatjoy and thankfulness we saw him return

to his station in tolerably good health.

Br. Diez of Chombala mean-

while took his place and continues to assist the Calicut brethren until

i

their senior, Br. Fritz will have joined them.

In July Br. Schauffler

a ye

too was taken ill after unusual exertions in the Anglo-Vernacular

ring

School which were caused by the sickness of one of the teachers. He

inexl

tried a change to Coimbatore and afterwards a trip on the sea, but

beey

though he was benefited by both, his recovery is not complete-

and}

trust, the Lord will not lay him aside but raise him again.

Prog

The Conareaarion of. Calicut has given some considerable trouble

4 tlIJ

by siding in part with a catechist who was displeased with the whole

and attachment to the missionaries.

them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they

watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may

do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.”—

Six new converts have been added by baptism, and an old member of

the congregation who had been excommunicated last year on account

of gross sin, could, we are happy to state, now be readmitted, as we

felt encouraged to believe that he has really repented and found grace.

At the KopararL outstation Br. Bosshard is glad to be able to

testify that an inward growth of the congregation was very prominent

The ANxcLo- VERNACULAR Scuoor underwent many trials, first on

the case in all our Vernacular Schools

The latter have been regu-

larly visited by the catechists except when they were on preaching ex-

cursions. We know by faith that this branch of missionary labor can-

notbe without its peculiar blessings, and we have ever found that many

of the boys seemed to like the Bible-lessons and religious instruction

taught in our bchool.; even better thm other sciences.

The IxpustriAL DeparTMENT has been managed much to our

satisfaction. The weaving establishment has made decided progress;

it has been favoured with more commissions than ever and has pro-

duced several thousand yards more than in the previous year. 22 per-

sons are fully employed. Br. Schauffler did his utmost for a careful

supervision as long as he possibly could and Br. Schoch has three

times inspected all the weaving establishments of Malabar. Br. Lauf-

fer’s carpenters’ shop is likewise ina flourishing condition and gives

employment to more than 40 hands among whom the Christians have

shown diligence and walked in an orderly manner

As to PreacHING abroad the Brethren Convert and Diez, some-

times also Br. Lauffer, have taken up a new branch of labor by pay-

ing regular visits to the two market-places in the neighborhood, North

and South of Calicut where many people of that populous town use to

cct

resort to.

About 250 addresses have been delivered at each of them

during the year.

There was an abundance of hearers in the beginning

as long as it was something new, and till now the preachers are sur-

Until the end of June 1861 Br. Hanhart and Metzger carried on

the work of this station, the former by attending to the congregation,

and to preaching to the heathen in the neighborhood, the latter by

taking charge of the Anglo-Vernacular School, as soon as he had be-

come somewhat familiar with the language

Subsequently Br. Herre

arrived from the Hills, when Br. Hanhart was relieved and enabled to

return to his former station Chombala

brethren received a very welcome reinforcement in the person of Cate-

chist O’Brien who was transferred there from Cannanore

The Suanars of the neighboring places, especially at one place

charge of such a mixed congregation has now become more difficult

than it was before, and cases of church discipline must needs be more

frequent. Yet both missionaries and catechists are cheerfully at work,

and the children too are helping to gladden their hearts and increase

their hopes.

A parochial Girls' School has been newly established

Rey,

under the superintendence of Sr. Herre, whilst the boys attend the

Anglo-Vernacular School. The latter had to suffer from some fluctu-

ations arising first out of a more extensive introduction of Biblelessons

throughout all classes, when many rather left the school than put-

ting up with it; but nearly all of them returned after a short time.

Towards the end of the year a similar excitement was created by an

attempt to introduce singing, a step much recommended by our Com-

mittee and easily carried out in other Anglo-Vernacular Schools of

our Mission.

But here at Palghaut it proved a failure.

could not be but highly interesting to the large assembly to listen to

the addresses of seven men who could speak as eye-witnesses of what

yrship

missionary labor really is, as several of them have shared its sorrows

surprised to miss our Senior, Br. Hebich in the list of missionaries as

in silence and retirement, after which he set out on a journey to the

North of Germany, trying every where to do what we may call mis-

sionary labor even among those who are all professing Christians but

more or less lacking in walking worthily of their name. The reception

he met with has been different at different places. In Lubeck he

preached almost every day and not without a blessing, whilst at Ham-

people.

Though we cannot say, in comparing the above

1119

statement withthat of the last year,that theincome ofour

{0 JiEt

Society has decreased—(on the contrary it has increased

10 hcal

11,600

1In some measure) yet its income has not been in propor-

tion to its expenditure

The latter has been swe

lled to

qing &

such an unusunally high amount chiefly by two reasons

first, the large number of invalids who had been com-

pelled to seek the restoration of their health in Europe,

med b7 ?

and secondly, the increased number of students in the

oust B

Mission College at Basel, after the new enlarged build-

10 fhet

ing had been occupied

Adg - na

This explanation of the excess of expenditure over

income having been given by our Home Committee, our

Friends and Supporters will be better enabled to under-

stand our anxieties, and bear with us in making the

same appeal to our Christian Friends which the Com-

mittee of the Church Missionary Society has also been

compelled for the same reasons to put forth—%to enlarge

their exertions for the permanent increase of the Society’s

resources, to meet its increased and increasing expendi-

ture.” We know that in the first place it 1s Germany

and Switzerland which ought to respond to the appeal

of our Committee; but our British Friends, we trust, will

not withhold their assistance nor compel our Society by

a farther decrease in our Indian subscriptions and dona-

tions, to make retrenchments which would possibly

throw back our mission some ten or twenty years.

Though there may be many reasons for being less libe-

ral in these days, as, for instance, increased taxation

which presses heavily upon us also: yet it cannot be

our Lord’s will that His work should stand still, His

command to proclaim His Gospel unto all nations, re-

mains the same for all time, we therefore cannot but

hope and pray that many will take to heart just now

that “He which soweth sparingly, shall reap also spa-

ringly; and he which soweth bountifully, shall reap

also bountifully.”

OBITUARY*

e

On the 7th November one of our beloved invalids who had left India on

the 9th January 1860, Sister P. Moegling was called to her rest at Franc-

7’

fort on the M. where she had joined her husband on the 25th October

Br.

Moegling had been appointed to succeed Br. Albrecht in the Francfort Agency

and had gone therein the end of September alone, in order to save his dear in-

)

valid the trouble of a first week’s sojourn in a strange place

On her arrival

-

at Francfort she expressed a presentiment that she had come to this “home

(after more than two years’ wandering) only to die in it

In less than a fort-

night her foreboding was fulfilled. Having reached the longed-for home in a

6

state of great exhaustion, she succumbed to a return of her fever, and an in-

bl

ﬁamma.tlon of the lungs, brought on by a cold caught shortly after her arrival.

After havmg suffered from a slight but painful cough for two or three days,

she was relieved of all pain, apparently, soon after midnight on the last mor-

ning, and spent several hours with her hushand, rejoicing in the unexpected

1t

shortening of her time of waiting, giving thanks to the Lord for the riches of

W

His grace lavished upon so poor and unworthy an one, and charging her part-

a

ner with messages of love to many of their Indian Friends, brethren and sist-

ers, and especially to the beloved congregation at Anandapura—¢tell them,”

P

she said, “that they must learn more and more, to pray and to work. They

need not mourn on my account

I rejoice to know that the Lord has sent

me to their country, and that I die now of the fever brought from Coorg.’—

“How sweet, cheerful, lovely has dying hecome to me through his grace,”

* We are very glad to have received, from the pen of our dear Br. Moeghng, the above

sketch of his deceased partner’s life, which arrived just before this Report was to leave

the press.

ity -y O

she exclaimed

“Yet alittle while,” she said, comforting her husband, “and

all s

we shall see Him

who

To the four children—the youngest only was by the

gide of the mother—she left memorial verses (Psalm XCI. 1

1 John II

be tl

15 to 17

Psalm XXVII. 10. 1 John I 7.) pronouncing every word with

a clear voice

She repeated also most sweetly and solemnly a dying hymn

of Hiller expecting to depart

But with daylight she revived a little, and

appeared with some reluctance to return to earthly thoughts and concerns

As if she had made up her mind to live on for ashort while longer, she was

occupied throughout the morning with motherly thoughts about the two dear

girls, who were to join their parents within two days, the household arrange-

ments connected with their arrival, and their future education,—when, soon

after two o’clock, she drew some deeper breaths and fell aslcep—not seeing

death, John VIII. 51.

Paulina Frances Bacmeister was born 22d October 1825.

In the year

1839 she entered a well-known boarding school at Kornthal, then under the

charge of Mr J. Kullen and the superintendence of the Rev. Ch. Kapff, (now

Prelate Kapff)

At her first hearing, almost, of the Gospel, predched and

taun‘ht in t1uth

shé wds dwaketied.

After a severe but short struggle, she

surréndeéred herself, hemt and soul, fo the Lor d —and, not in her own estima-

tion, indeed,—but in the judgnent of all who Knew her, has remained

faithful to the first lové of her Redeemer. Most cheerfully she acdepted the

call to the service of the Mission in 1843, Beforé the end of 1844 she arriv-

ed in India.

In Janudary 1845 shé was married to Br. G. Weigle to whom she

was a partner in' the fullest sénse of theé word, not only as a bheloved and

loving wife, but also as a talented and devoted fellow-Taborer in his mission-

ary work.

After Br. Weigle’s féthoval in Juné 1853, shé remained at Manga-

lore, engaged in the service to which she had dévoted her life.

A year later

she became the wife of Br. Moegling, Br. Weiglé's most intimate friend and

brother, who was thén engag

o ':(]

5 YN

in the new mission among the Coortrs

There

she assisted in the founding of the little church, now at Anandapura, and spent

herself in serving the children and mothers who Gmdually gathered around the

mlssmnary home at Almanda.

In 1859 her health began to give way rapidly.

Reluctantly she yielded to the necessity of returmng to Europe, with her child-

ren, but without her husband. During the voyage round the Cape, the care of

*

het own children and those of friends, whom she had taken under her charge,

while still apparently vigorous, proved too much for her.

In utter exhaustion

she arrived at home.

After Br. Moegling’s return home in the beginning of

1861 shé rallied, and during last summer seemed to recover.

But the Lord

had called her; a4nd she has gone to His rest and joy.

The news

This is not the place to relate the story of our dear Sister’s life

of her departure has filled many hearts in our Indian Mission with mourning

She loved

Her life—since she had comé amongst us, had been a life of love

g

Lo p

“and

all she knew, for Christ’s sake.

And we may truly say on our part, that all

y the

who knew her, loved her.—The Lord gave; the Lord hath taken away. Blessed

hn I,

be the name of the Lord!
