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 May the other on his way to Calicut, the scene of his former labors. veterans soon follow him to give an additional strength and encourage- ment to the younger! Another source of thankfulness is that a number of brethren who have been suffering from severe attacks of illness * and compelled to #*We would here express with heart-felt gratitude our special thanks to all Medical Men and other Friends, who have again so disinterestedly attended and assisted our sick Brethren and Sisters at their various stations. e i leave their stations for a season, have been restored through the hand of a prayer-hearing God, without a lengthened interruption; and though 1= others are still ailing, our faith has been strengthened to trust in Him ned who says to each sufferer: “I am ‘the Lord that healeth thee.” ere oAl Ke bay S ptive gs1011 )el to ot k the nenfs. sion- o'f an A Oid- e _a\ﬂed 3 now ofher 1age” il Who led fo g 10 il jedand 2% ity " .

The various description of labor at Manga- lore makes our large number to be a matter of necessity, there being sufficient occupation for all the eleven brethren. 'We are happy to say that the properly so called missionary labor, viz. preaching to the ) T heathen at the station as well as in the district, has been more especi- ally attended to than for many previous years. Knowing the great >1) need there is of this important part of our work, our Committee lately resolved to set apart Br. Kaundinya for itinerary preaching through- al out Canara,—a step which had been proposed and deliberated upon For long ago, but hitherto prevented by various circumstances. During the past year Br- Biihrer* chiefly has been engaged in thus sowing the seed, except during the three months that he took charge of the con- gregation to enable Br.

After the monsoon o1ce nary both the brethren took courage to begin regular preaching to the heathen there which had not been done formerly, and every Wednesday evening \lxdl they met with a erowd of attentive hearers in the Mulky Bazar. The alore 00 catechist too assisted them in this new work, and the song-loving boys »nth") ‘uau\ of the orphanage lent their voices to attract the passers by. At Udapy the great heathen festivals have been taken advantage of for the united o of exertions of missionaries and catechists from Mulky and Mangalore i (4 as well as from the place itself. When we remember the fieree oppo- s by sition which the word of truth used to meet with there in former years, g{%ﬂt we cannot but thank God that the mind of the people seems much Lo changed and the ears of many are now opened to receive the words )| ot of the missionaries. Much confidence has been shown them at Mulky by the founders and promoters of the English School, of their own ac- 3 ke G 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- ren and a catechist; again in November and December, Br. Minner 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 ga] b Rs. 50 on behalf of their starving fellow-Christians in Travancore, a large amount, considering their general poverty. The heathen around la i also begin to respect our Christians and like to have to deal with them finding them honest and truth-telling people. On Easterday 1861, I i 13 persons were added by baptism, among whom were 7 boys of the orphanage. (10 fu The OrprAN Bovs’ Scmoon which was burnt down in February W 1861 as mentioned in our last Report, has nevertheless been continued ; th for some months after the fire the boys were lodged in the chapel. hag On the 5th of June they went into their school-house which had been Ing rebuilt affording a pretty comfortable though rough shelter against the rains about to set in, from which time the school went on as be- all at | fore. In many cases of sickness amongst them we experienced the fing Lord’s helping hand. The boys in general learned eagerly under a sho young and lively teacher, formerly a pupil of the same school, and hay were encouraged on one occasion by a visit from the late Rev. Mr. brar Cuthbert of the Church Missionary Society. Their conduct has been iy satisfactory. Three of the elder boys were thought fit to enter the Pre- parandi School at Mangalore.—The ParocuiaL ScHooLs at the out- stations Gudde, Uchila, and Kadike are in a prosperous condition. One of them continues to have a great number of heathgn children, TR while another has lost them by the establishing of a rival school in 1 the immediate neighbourhood. (4 10 d5 HONORE. at- Rev F. H.

Br. Hahn GOW together with Br. Richter who was in the habit of spending some days in at Anandapura every month till the beginning of the monsoon, had Chie ey many a hard struggle with those of the congregation who mistook the assistance given to them in the commencement for an obligation always to feed them in future without any exertion of their own, and refused to understand the apostolic rule that if any would not work, neither should he eat. To carry out this principle the brethren wanted much faith, courage, and patience. Happily the elders of the congregation 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 be separated from the wheat, and we were not sorry to see the idlers going away, but rather were glad to get rid of them and now to have There is still much a smaller but comparatively purer congregation. room for improvement, especially in scriptural knowledge, and it is well that they have a regular pastor now residing among them.

Miiller was suffering intensely from a nervous disease which prostrated him for several weeks and g be weakened him for a still longer period. His partner too felt her o1l 16 strength declining so much that a change to the Nilagiris seemed to bl be a matter of necessity- However, the Lord graciously blessed a of fiers shorter journey to the coast, and on the 12th February of the present ) lt»/ e G 2om year they were able to start from Mangalore to return to their post. | i 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 1n iy share in the work both at the place and on preaching excursions, when they found opportunity to converse also with Mahommedans in Hin- all i dustani, a language whichthey have learned of their own accord during A the last few years. nt To the CoNGREGATION only one soul has been added from among ) the heathen, but she is one which we particularly longed for and now the rejoice to see a Christian. She is the wife of the formerly menticned b blacksmith Daniel Demappa at Unakallu. On the verge of the grave i blii 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 to at Unakallu have given us hope for some time, but have not come to fh a resolution as yet, they are waiting, they say, for their relations, and {0 82 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 BT 4R Sirey in June and July, when he looked after the members of the Mangalore congregation residing there for a short time, moreover to Br. Brunner the North and North-East in the month of September. 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 On enter- found much disinclination and resistance but two short years ago. 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. e BETTIGHERRY. Rev. G- Wiirth (1845) and Mrs. Wiirth (1853).

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.

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- Gross sins were periences regarding the state of the coNGREGATION- detected and when inquired into, obstinately denied by those who had committed them.

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 1‘1'&'21[ 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 y he be effectually carried on in future, we recommend it with confidence into the faithful hands of Him with whom nothing is impossible. eed- g o5 yere 0 fad [g‘ fmd [ 10 De setﬂe mmeﬁ'1 Thesé afhet g7 10 ;ht an’d 0 GULEDAGUDD A.

Though we are still unable to report the arrival De of a fellow-labourer for Br. Kies, yet the quiet and steady inward Der progress of a small congregation like this may be called a pleasing mer spectacle, and on one occasion at least the light shone before men a fon little farther, when the first Missionary meeting of the Southern Mahrat- dis tha District was held at the place on the 22d and 23d of April 1861. 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 ns f0 more leisure for both itinerary preaching and literary labors, y and aobly, {ubel'. he in The 7omet 3 cate: o each whole nt it i8 cc{{SiOﬂ 18 held 0 LLh(] 56 fesﬁ\'ﬂl ] ool ﬂothing he ser* S I MALABAR. i 0 CANNANORE, WITH CHIRACAL AND CHOWA. ¢l st Rev.

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 There much neglected School at Chirakal. The month of October witnessed llélve t the arrival of Br. Schmidli whom the Home Committee sent out for the With | work at Chowa. ety Our staff of CATEcHISTS 18 also no more as numerous as when we da}' Iy Catechist O'Brien ever yearning for return- wrote last year’s report- b ty ing to Palghaut, the scene of his former labors, got the necessary per- {ml()]jg mission in October last and left forthwith. Catechist Daniel Nathanael R = eis 280 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 i el anong the Tiers at this place (Talapoo) we expected some movement 5 ary per’ on the next day. Our supposition proved correct. His friends came as el (athan 5 — 34 — i the vat‘guard of an army. Some tried to shake him but in vain. Hé ¢ott~ fessed a nice confession. Next to followed the bulk of the army, his own fam- fo ily. The struggle grew hotter this time; no defeat. The astonished father {l leaves him a blessing and retires; so do the rest of the family with the excep- tion of his 2d elder brother Shangara. He had formerly been Dr. Gundert’s servant and often heard the blessed Gospel without surrendering. The arrow B of the word piereed him now; his younger brother’s testifying that Jesus y “Ah, said is the Christ the only Saviour, made a deep impression upon him. s he, I should have preceded thee, and behold, thou art the first.” He remained i in the Mission House. When the news of his decision reached his family, The family Tl they could not keep back his young wife to go in search of him. agreed unto her being brought to Shangara, hoping that the mere sight of her Jog “whom he Ioved so much, would entice him away. Ah, the enemy was this il time caught in his own net. The young wife, on seeing her husband; de- the clared at once;to the undescribable horror ofall and especially of the mother, of 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 g wife and ere that remarkable day came to its close, 3 precious souls were will- g ing to serve Christ. The Catechists had great opportunities for proclaiming Christ crucified unto many respectable natives of this place and we now and he then could hear words like the following escaping their lips—“I have no faith at in our gods, they have no power.” LU\ On the 21st of July the 3 dear souls were by baptism received into the 1l Church of Christ, Shangaraand his wife béing the first couple that joined the str: Cannémore Chuzrch. Pos We can thus record with graﬁtude towards the Lord that He has Hop increased the Church at Cannanore, whilst we are sorry to mention & \ decrease in numbers at Chowa. Fearful sins became manifest there especially amiong the bandy ak, Schg people. 4 families, walking in flagrant sins for years and who, though dedic excluded from the Lord’s Supper, did continue their perverse lives,— were at last removed from Chowa and had to o give up all the outward benefits they enjoyed there.

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, fa ; we regret to add, departed this life only a few months afterwards. é The considerable increase of the Tellicherry CoNGREGATION is only Pl partly to be ascribed to new conyersions; 8 persons have been receiv- éll( ed from among the heathen.

As a considerable part of the adults are » 4 LS 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.

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 We 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 th& W TR I g 2 of our mission and took great pains to undermine their confidence in and attachment to the missionaries. For some time he succeeded but too well, and after he had left us for secking another employment he il -did not refrain from following the same course wherever he had an opportunity to speak or write about the Basel Mission; yet among i) those who know him his influence appears to be on the wane. Con- sidering the whole, there seems to be reason to admonish the Calicut congregation as well as others to remember what is written: 4Obey ular i, 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 during the past year, the quickening Spirit of the Lord had its work nani= in their hearts perhaps more than ever, and with many of them it is weit, evident that it was not in ‘vain. There are drawbacks, no doubt, for mong instance that more than one half of the adults are not able to read; but b de those who see their children cheerfully learning in school, will be | sty comforted by the thought thatregarding them a different state of things eyond is fast approaching. pefun nean- The Girrs’ Boarping ScHooL had, after the departure of Br. and Sr. Convert, the benefit of the assistance of Miss Blandford which was a very seasonable one indeed as many cases of sickness occurred du- auffer ring the monsoon, One of the boarders died of consumption, to the acalar He inexpressible grief of her old blind father whose joy and stay she had been.

Convert was Many of the scholars themselves were kept replaced by Br. Diez from school on account of cholera for nearly two months, as was also 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- P prised by the remarkable fact that an unusual number of Mapillahs is seen among them, and often listening to the word much more quietly than the Hindoos.

There was no reason to doubt the sincerity of this request, and fa forty persons at Jeast appear to be ready to embrace Christianity, they Wi show much eagernessin reading and examining the books given them, and Br, Herre was specially delighted by the diligence of one who is he in the habit of marking out difficult passages which he cannot under- 0 stand by himself and concerning which he desires the explanation of the ho The same man has to encounter missionary op his visits unto them. de mueh hatred and opposition on the side of his “own countrymen and 10 relations; besides there is a great excitement prevailing among Hin- be: doos and Mapillahs, and many are the adversaries; but the Lord, we tire trust, who has begun the good work, will perform it, in spite of every 8pe opposition, in many a soul. Br. Herre has taken those 40 persons un- told der instruction as catechumeni. - gire But even excepting these the Palghaut CongrEGaTioN has had a Eurj 1y great increase partly from other stations partly by recovering such as kno had kept aloof hitherto from any exercises of the faith which they out- He wardly professed. Church-members of this kind are especially to be One may easily imagine that the found among the Tamil population- 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. The boys in fact would have gladly attended, but to their own grief their parents opposed it. In other respects the progress made by them was satis- Stl‘eng old y, fi‘()m ! Sl e and factory, and so was their conduct in general. A public examination they was held in Decembor in the presence of several English Friends. hem, The spiritual darkness among the Heatuex appears to be grosser 10 18 here than elsewhere, and a great field for direct missionary labor is det- opened to the brethren by the miny market-places in the neighbor- f the hood. Br. Hanhart and afterwards Br. Herre have travelled a good unter deal for seizing these opportunities, and encouraging experiences have 1 and not been wanting.

Wiirtele un who is still too weak to resume his labors, so that the chief burden Wi devolved upon the senior of the station assisted by Br. Thumm. Some the invalids from other stations were seen as usually also this year on the fhe Hills, and they as well as the residents have enjoyed the very kind tal medical services of our old Friend Dr. Leslie of Coonoor, which we of desire to acknowledge here with sincere gratitude- ha The Badaga Coxaruaatiox has lost another member by death and, we are happy to add, a death so peaceful that even the heathen were a3 ] astonished at it and of their own accord lent their assistance for the gl burial. As if to make restitution for this loss the Lord was pleased RmO to increase the number of the little flock by the conversion of a Badaga salt youth who had attended the school of that English lady mentioned in Who our last year’s report. A christian hymn which he had got by heart hag there made the first deeper impression upon his mind, and one day Ty he quite surprised his mistress by confessing with tears that he be- call licved in Jesus as the only Saviour and was desirous to become a fo Christian. On further examination Br. Moerike found him to be bent facty tpon carrying out his intention and so firm in his resolution that he ted could stand a hard struggle With his nearest relations who came to gran feteh him back and caused one of those heart-rending scenes which glony More so often accompany the first decided steps of Hindoo converts. than & hundred Badagas encompassed the mission house and with wild eries and threatenings demanded the man to be delivered into their hands or his baptism to be postponed. They did not succeed how- ever, the new convert frankly confessed to the headman of the vill- age that he wanted to stay here in order to become a Christian, and It in the evening the crowd dispersed, not without being preached to and Genn ¢ heartily admonished especially by Abraham, the first-fruits of the Ni- fong 1] lagiri Mission. The new convert was baptized on the following day thug and is rejoicing in the faith by which he has overcome the world. The f’)l ﬂ]\ sensation prevailing in the Badaga villages had an evil effect on some % 10,]g of the schools for a time, but on the whole there is a much more lt , p g o ol friendly disposition shown forth than for many previous years, and ,1)\ from one of the villages the inhabitants even came to ask for a school te 16 under a Christian schoolmaster. Their request was readily complied den with, a school was opened at once and is flourishing ever since- All ome the Vernacular Schools are in a prosperous state, at several places the the zeal of the scholars is on the increase. New schools could be es- kind tablished in addition here and there, if we only had a larger number Wwe of persons fit for teaching. To supply this want a Preparandi Class has been opened with six of the ablest scholars. and PreAcuiNnG among the Badagas has been carried on as vigorously ere as possible. The European missionaries, though not assisted by a re- i the gular catechist, have a great help by the simple faith and walk of such "&aed among the converts as have understood their calling to be a light and da ga salt among their countrymen. There is the above mentioned Abraham ed 1 who does not fail to give witness by words and deeds of the grace he jeart has found wherever he can get an opportunity to do so. He is so ¢ (& lay much respected even among the heathen that in one case they solemnly o | i called him for deciding a quarref as one who would judge according ome & to right and truth.

But me on 50 as long as this is to be done here in India we find it extremely diffi- mo U cult to draw up a report whose materials had to be sent from Africa 18 i 7 BE | Y and China to Basel and from thence to India. Not only will inaceu- 4 4 racies be unavoidable at such a distance, especially in statistics, not 4 only will it be impossible to give an insight into the present state of the work, as the German reports must of necessity grow old before 4 4 they reach us, but besides this, the different wants of the various read- Ka ers cannot be satisfied by the same account, as a short sketch will not suit our readers in those remote places, whilst a long one will doubt- 5 lessly prove tedious to our Indian Friends. We therefore trust that & 4 a separate report of the African Mission at least, will shortly be pub- lished, a step which has already been under consideration at home. Meanwhile we must content ourselves to give here a brief summary of the labors done on our African and Chinese mission-fields, as it is con- tained in the Home Report of our Society, of July 1861. “The Basel Mission on the Gold Coast of Upper Guinea is now “extending over four different countries which, though very small, are “inhabited by as many different negro tribes. 22 brethren (among “whom 10 lay-missionaries) and 16 sisters are laboring at six sta- Yoy 14 “tions.

Our Society having resol- Jhorers “ved two years ago upon sending reinforcements to the Chinese Mis- p U~ et “sion, Br.

But as is sometimes the case, an advance of this kind must peun- “be followed by a new trial of our faith.

The Committee some therefore resolved upon deviating from the old custom according to r {he which the Principal of the Mission College had to read the yearly re- u by port, and ordered the missionaries themselves to give an account of heen what they had seen and worked among the heathen. Though the fact itself was, of course, rather a sad one as all those brethren had been 1 the compelled by the state of their health to leave the scene of their la- ) per- town, bors and to seek new strength in Europe, yet as the matter stood it ength. 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 uetion missionary labor really is, as several of them have shared its sorrows Jone- and joys for twenty and more years. First then Br. Mader gave an account of the African Mission, then Br. Moegling described the great sithfal b Tast variety of work at the Mangalore station and in the Coorg country; rived Br. Ammann presented the greetings of the Mulky and Udapy con- gregations; Br. Irion reported about the Malabar Mission and more sharks fheir especially about the Tellicherry station, likewise Br. Fritz about Cali- much cut and Palghaut, Br. Chr. Miiller about Cannanore -and Chombala; Br. Metz gave an expression of -his love towards the hill tribes and culfies drew a picture of the different periods of his labor among them. At them 'ﬁon ()f last the Prineipal Rev. J. Josenhans concluded by glancing over the rest of our mission-fields not represented by eye-witnesses, viz. fting® Southern Mahrattha and China.—OQur Indian Friends will perhaps be e Sure surprised to miss our Senior, Br. Hebich in the list of missionaries as be HlS given above; he had been obliged by ill health to spend some months ttermOSt 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 e preached almost every day and not without a blessing, whilst at Ham- Th burg he could not obtain an audience of more than thirty or forty people. At Christmas he proceeded to Bremen where his labors are more appreciated.—Of the other invalid brethren only Br. Fritz’ health T o S0 " s has been restored so far as to allow of his return to India, but several of the rest are enabled to do something for the mission in the bra- cing climate of Europe, either by literary occupations or as travelling agents. Amongst the latter Br. Moegling was directed to take Br. Albrecht’s place at Frankfort, but soon after his arrival there he Con had ths unutterable grief to lose his partner in consequence of a fever % contracted in India and lingering in her counstitution for a long time without being recognized as such.*—The institutions at Basel too have 16 been visited by very many cases of sickness during the past year, but . in these trying experiences also the Lord’s faithfulness and loving- R kindness has not failed to manifest itself towards each single soul of The number of brethren preparing for the I our great mission family. work in the Mission College is between eighty and ninety. But here a serious question must and does arise, and often makes us unsasy in 0 these days: How will they be sent out in the futare, if the jfinancial 0 position of our Society does not improve? To this we must in con- B clusion, however unwillingly, call the attention of our Friends more ur- gently than in any previcus year. Our last report exhibited a deficit of Rs. 41,119.

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.

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. 8 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.
