REPORT

EAR the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the

9

isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him,

and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.

For the Lord hath

L4

redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that

was stronger than he. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height

of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat,

and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock.and of the

herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not

sorrow any more at all.

Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance,

both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into

Joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice fromtheir sorrow.”

Jerem. XXXI. 10—13.

These were the opening words of the Report of our Home Com-

mittee read at the last anmiversary in July 1862, when they found

themselves encouraged to apply especially the concluding verse of the

above passage to their own experience during the forty-seventh year of

the Basel Mission, confessing thereby that they too, like the people of

Israel, have had many reasons for mourning and sorrowing as well as

many comfortable words and times of refreshing from the presence of

the Lord who knows how to turn our sorrow into joy.

Not the

smallest of those sorrows was the one occasioned by pecuniary embar-

rassments to which we shall call the attention of our Friends and

Supporters at the close of this Report, after having given them an in-

sight into the work itself as it was carried on last year at the different

stations and in the various branches of our Mission.

AW@estern Andin

A year of many changes has passed over our Indian Mission-field,

as our friends will immediately perceive when comparing the statistics

at the head of each station (especially in the Malabar District) with

those given in former years.

We regret to add that we have even

lost one station in the Southern Mahratta Country though not unex-

pectedly. In our last Report we already referred to the precarious state

of things and felt obliged to confess that we could not see at the time

how the work of that station might be effectually carried on in future.

The loss of Br. and Sr. Leonberger who were compelled by ill health

to proceed to Europe in March 1862, made the entire breaking up of

the station ouly a question of time, especially as Br. Krauss then in

charge of it was transferred to another district.

The number of sta-

[¢

tions, however, appears to have increased rather than diminished, be-

Ti

cause in the Canara District Mulky and Udapy have been separated

il

and in Malabar Codacal has been raised to the rank of a station by the

f

advice of our Committee.

h\

As to the labourers, Br. Wiirtele, of Kaity, after a protracted ill-

L\

ness and much suffering, has been called to his heavenly rest, on the

0f

2d Febr. 1863.

(Ul

A short sketch of his life is subjoined, together with

that of Sr. Biihrer whose sudden departure we could only allude to in

G0

our last Report.

Various ailments fell to the lot of many other Sis-

(y

at

ters, * and Sr. Hunziker was at last necessitated to seek the restora-

W

tion of her health in Europe; she embarked in October; her husband

was detained by the urgent wants of the Mangalore Printing Establish-

al]

ment, but his own state of health is such that his speedy return home

e

is imperative.

On the other hand our hearts were cheered by welcoming back

thaf

tem,

several of our old and experienced missionaries at the end of 1862.

g

InsP

% In these as in other cases of sickness we have been favored at our various

8chg

stations with the very kind assistance of several Medical Gentlemen and other

Ty,

friends to whom we would here tender our heartfelt thanks.

U“"\\S?\

13

Br. Chr. Miller has with invigorated health resamed his labors at hig

former station Cannanore, Br. Metz is again living and working among

his beloved Badagas, and Sr. Moerike has rejoined her husband at

Kaity. These three veteran members of our Mission were accompani-

ed by Br. Miiller’s second wife, Br. Ziegler, sent out for the Mangalore

English School, and three ladies now married to the Brethren Hanhart,

Brigel, and Reinhardt.

Lastly Br. Schlunk at Cannanore received

a most suitable assistance in his department, in the person of his

younger brother, F. Schlunk, who safely landed at that station in January

1863. May the Lord who graciously granted us these reinforcements,

bless and preserve the new arrivals and give a new impulse and pro-

gress to the work which he has committed to our hands!

Reviewing the year now past, we feel convinced that at two places

at least our work has decidedly advanced, and we beg to refer our

readers to the reports of the stations Honore and Kaity, where they

will find a cheering proof that the Lord is still working among us to

the furtherance of his kingdom.

Except

AL

i1

g this, it is true, we cannot

speak of more than ordinary events; but steps have been taken of late

by our Committee for a more extensive and more effcctual organization

(4

of itinerary preaching, and in order to secure a more numerous and effi-

cient native agency, they have at last resolved to establish in the

I

course of this year the long-proposed High-School, properly called

will comprise a limited theological course which, it is hoped, will en-

d

able them to become more useful assistants to our missionaries than

we could generally employ hitherto.

10

With regard to our congregations at large, we may mention here

that our Home Committee has taken measures to improve their in-

ok

ternal organization by appointing three Brethren in esch district, one

9

) 4

to act as a Greneral Superintendent in spiritual matters, the sccond as

Inspector of Schools with the particular view of raising our parochial

schools to a higher standard, and the third a lay-brother for the ma-

ous

nagement of the economical affairs in the whole district.

In cases of

her

unusual importance these three may form a Sub-Committee, and from

14

L

time to time they will call a District Conference consisting of all the

missionaries and all the elders of the congregations.

Such Conferences

have been held in Canara, Malabar, and South Mahratta during the

year under review and have not been without their peculiar blessings.

The native members especially will, we trust, thus learn to awake to

a sense of their own duty and take their proper share in the work;

they will at the same time perceive that their rights are duly respect-

ed andthat they have no cause whatever for dissatisfaction and distrust,

signs of which, much to our regret, have shown themselves at several

places of our Mission.

Instead of a General Conference which, according to our custom,

should have been held at the beginning of 1863, our Committee this

time resolved upon a visitation of all their Mission-stations in India.

For this purpose they deputed three Brethren, viz. the Chairman and

the Secretary to the General Conference with the General Agent of

our Mission.

In January last the Deputation commenced this import-

ant task by inspecting our stations in the Southern Mahratta Country

f

and thence went to Honore, Mangalore, Mulky, Udapy, and Coorg.

These visitations with their various meetings, examinations, and ser-

vices, have everywhere proved to be not only a blessed season of spi-

ritual refreshment and welcome opportunity for brotherly intercourse,

but also a source of encouragement and wholesome admonition by

which we were called upon to examine ourselves with all our doings.

Besides this, the Deputation by the authority vested in them, were

able to clear up some difficult points and settle on the spot important

We

questions which were not yet brought to a satisfactory solution.

pray the Head of the Church that similar blessings may accompany

them when after some months they will proceed for the same purpose

to the Malabar District.

POS@

The year 1862 has been marked by various trials and bereave-

ments from which we have been exempted during the previous one.

In March we had the great grief of suddenly losing Sr. Biihrer, and

in October Sr. Hunziker left us after having struggled against much

pain and intense suffering throughout the year. Br. Hunziker’s health

too began to give way about the same time, and though heis still hold-

* The figures after the names of Missionaries show the date of their first leaving Europe.

16

S

ing out at his post, it will be unavoidable for him to follow his partner

as soon as his successor arrives from Europe. The rest of the brethren

onthe whole enjoyed good health, and towards the end of the year an ad-

ditional laborer Br. Ziegler, formerly a teacher in the Mission College

at Basel, arrived in our midst and has already taken charge of the

Br. Kaundinya who had been set apart for

Anglo-Vernacular School.

itinerary preaching was, we regroet tosay, again prevented from follow-

ing this call so much to his mind, by the necessity of his repeated as-

sistance in the Coorg Mission, he spent the whole of the monsoon at

Anandapur.

We trust he will be able this year to devote himself to-

gether with the Brethren Biihrer and Ammann, the latter of whom we

hope to see back ere long, entirely to this work that through their

preaching the Canara District may be filled with the sound of the Gos-

pel of Peace.

The Congregation has gone on for another year in the same

quiet and steady course which we have observed for a considerable

time. We have not much to praise or blame in it.

The young people

partly show much inclination to evade the control of their pastors and

thus to seek an independence which cannot but be hurtful to their own

i

souls.

" Others appear to possess too little of this independent spirit

and would still like to rely upon the mission for their livelihood, being

very slow to understand that this state of things belongs to the past.

The congregation had an increase of 18 persons from among the

heathen.

proximity of our new Church to the Light-house on the opposite hill suggest;‘z the

wish and the prayer that from this sanctuary a flood of spiritual light may

shine forth over the heathenish darkness in the town below and that many

a soul in distress may be guided by it to the true Haven in Christ Jesus!

Taking advantage of the presence of so many Missionaries, Catechists, and

Elders who had come for a District Conference, a Missionary Meeting was

arranged on that same afternoon, and a large assembly joyfully and attentively

listened for several hours to many addresses of ministers and laymen.

Among the various Schools of this station we had the satisfac-

b

tion of seeing our Preparandi School or, as it will be henceforth call-

ed, Middle School carried on with four classes numbering 26 pupils.

Besides the younger boys collected from our Parochial Schools, we were

I

greatly rejoiced by the acquisition of the above mentioned two Brah-

man converts.

The highest class will shortly be transferred to

the Catechist School to be established under the charge of Br.

Finckh, where besides other subjects desirable for future assistant-

to give the necessary preparation for this higher course, and has also

Sanscrit, English and Malayalam among its lessons, whilst Canarese

Wi

is the medium of instruction.

The school might be conducted satis-

it

factorily, but for the difficulty of collecting a new class every year ac-

ng

cording to the original plan, because most of our young people prefer

i

other and more lucrative occupations. In February 1863 Br. Miiller,

the

having acquired a sufficient knowledge of Canarese, was enabled to

and

undertake Br. Finckh’s lessons and will soon hawve the whole manage-

ot

ment of the institution, assisted by some catechists one of whom has

izel

been sent from Cannanore for the purpose.

o\lﬂl

The Anglo-Vernacular School had to go through sore trials.

it

After a fair beginning, in January 1862, with a number of 117 scho-

lars Br. Mack was grieved to see it gradually diminishing from various

Man-

causes, but more especially on account of the conversion of those two

i {hﬁ{

Brahman youths whereby the minds of many were agitated and as it

ist‘mn.‘i

or

ié

now appears, the suspicions of both the boys and their parents roused

ke

arte

to the prejudice of Mission Schools.

However in a missionary

".imcﬁs

point of view, we may take this as a token for good and cannot help

dt’ 50

3

18

wishing that all our schools may by their efficiency contribute to the

subversion of heathenism.

The effect on the school in question

was, indeed, deplorable and we were nearly compelled to close the

school, the number of boys in the month of June falling as low as 35,

and though rising to about 50 in the following months it was again

reduced towards the end of 1862 to such a state that a vacation was

thought advisable.

Nor was this the only source of anxiety to the

teachers.

The most extraordinary irregularity of attendance (some

boys were even detained by force at their houses) proved an obstacle

to the progress not only of the absentees but even of the more regu-

lar pupils, and the result was far from satisfactory. Subsequently

Br. Ziegler having been sent out by our Committee expressly for this

post, a new course of lessons commenced in January 1863 under some-

what better auspices with 90 scholars to whom both Br. Mack and

Br. Ziegler devoted their time and labor, till the former was called to

other duties and the latter took the superintendence as Headmaster.—

The two Vernacular Boys’ Schools have, as usual, shared the fate of

the Anglo-Vernacular School.

The two Girls’ Schools have been de-

prived of their superintendents Br. and Sr. Kaundinya for a conside-

rable part of the year but are doing better since their return.

The Girls’ Boarding School will soon be removed to Mulky

as a more suitable place for such an institution.

If the number of

girls should be diminished by this removal from town to the country we

count this to be no loss; on the contrary we must wish it to be the

case, as the immediate superintendence of a large number without any

efficient native assistance has proved a matter of much difficulty dur-

ing this year also.

Sr. Hauff had a good deal of trouble and at one

e A

time was compelled to seek a change for some weeks, during which

time the Srs. Pfleiderer and Kaundinya looked after the girls. At the

beginning of the present year when Br. Hauff set out for the visitation

o o PO L T

tour in South-Mahratta, Br. and Sr. Brigel were called from Mulky

to assist in the management and to become initiated into this sphere of

labour which they will have to carry on afterwards at their own sta-

tion.—There has not been much sickness among the boarders during

o ey gy Seinal S

the year and we experienced the Lord’s helping hand still with us in

this as in other respects.

On the 3d of August eleven of our girls

were confirmed.

In the Printing Establishment which gives employment to

32 persons, Br, Hunziker was busily occupied throughout the year

with only one short interruption in October when he had to accompany

his wife and children to Bombay. The issues of the press, as will be

seen from the list of books annexed, have been more numerous than

ever before, and a new printing press having lately arrived from Eu-

rope we shall be able to do still more in future.

Br. Kittel whose

occupation it is to prepare the manuscripts, has been suffering now

and then from pressure of work, on which account Br. Mack was di-

rected to resign his post at the Anglo-Vernacular School and give as-

sistance in the literary department, chiefly in the important task of

carrying through the press a new edition of the Canarese Bible, to be

printed for the Madras Auxiliary Bible Society.

For the Canarese

reading population, small as it is at present, a fortnightly Periodical,

the Illustrated Canarese Journal, has been started and has hitherto

met with a favorable reception.

Most of these books and tracts have been made over to the Mission

Book-Shop in charge of Messrs. Pfleiderer & Riehm who are at great

pains to extend their circulation and not without proportionate success,

specially with regard to the small and cheap tracts which often

meet with a ready sale among the people.

Finally the Weaving Establishment has been carried on

by Br. Haller after his return from Nassick in February 1862, much

in the same routine as formerly.

74 persons are fully employed, and

the number of yards manufactured during the year amounts to 25,316.

The assistance of our Catechists is more available at

Mangalore than abroad, because, being more employed in our schools,

they cannot be absent for any length of time. May the Lord gracious-

travel more frequently.

This station as well as Udapy, which but recently was formed in«

to a separate station, has seen considerable changes.

Mulky has lost

£y

the Orphan Boys’ School and within a few months will receive the

to

Orphan Girls’ School from Mangalore instead. In connexion with this

ol

change Br. Hartmann has been removed to Udapy and Br. Minner to

o

Mulky.

During the year 1862, however, both of them remained at

and

their former posts, and Br. Brigel continued in charge of the Mulky

Congregation.

On the 27th of November he was married o Miss

ing

Auberlen from Germany. Br. Hartmann, besides his usual work in

[l'l ed

the Orphanage has been able to spare time for some preaching excur-

sions, a protracted one in Jan. 1862, when he travelled in Br. Biihrer's

\l'eat

o16

company to the North.

The sight of so large an unoccupied and yet

ns

promising field of labor, especially at Coondapur, made a deep impres-

22

sion upon his mind. This place has often engaged our thoughts since

it is-our earnest desire to gain a firmer footing in those regions now

only occasionally visited by our missionaries.

The Congregation has on the whole given satisfaction by

walking in an orderly manner and avoiding, with a few exceptions, all

heathenish practices. Sometimes we are permitted to rejoice at seeing

persons, of whom during their time of health we had little hope, cling

to Jesus on their death-bed. The increase in numbers has been small

and appears still smaller by the fact of some families having changed

their place of abode.

Nevertheless the work among the heathen has

been gone through as before, specially the preaching in the Mulky

Bazar.

After the novelty of the thing had passed, though gainsayers

and disturbers are not unfrequent, the number of hearers has greatly

diminished, but we trust that still the seed thus sown cannot entirely

be lost.—At present Br. and Sr. Minner are for a short time alone at

the station, till Br. and Sr. Brigel will return from Mangalore with

the girls of the Boarding School for whose accommodation a suitable

building is being erected here.

The Brethren Minner and Traub continued to have the charge of

this station during 1862.

In February and March and again in April

and May Br. Ménner with his partner spent several weeks at the

23

Gudde out-station, where he was occupied with instructing candidates

for baptism and confirmation as well as visiting the heathen in the

neighborhood. In September and October Br. Traub with Br. Hartmann

were similarly engaged around Gudde, and Uchila, an out-station of

Mulky, and in Nov. and Dec. Br. Traub joined the Brethren Biihrer

and Kaundinya in visiting the Subrahmanya festival. A member of

the Udapy Congregation readily and at his own expense accompanied

them on this as on many similar occasions; for this station, though with-

z

out a catechist, happily possesses a few zealous christians who cheer-

fully volunteer to do a catechist’s and elder’s duties, one of them even

takes an active part in regular bazar-preaching at Udapy on Tuesday

evenings.

Besides this local assistance the hands of the Missionaries

y

are strengthened on extraordinary occasions by their brethren at

Mulky and Mangalore.

Thus at the great Swami festival in January

1862 four missionaries and five catechistspreached twice a day during

a whole week, without encountering any earnest opposition.

In February 1863 the station received a considerable addition by

the transfer of the Orphan Boys’ School from Mulky to Udapy where

a new house had been erected in the course of the year. Br. Hartmann

came to reside at Udapy with his charge.

He is assisted by a young

and vigorous schoolmaster, and to their combined efforts it is due that

this institution is really the best of all the parochial schools in our

district. The progress of the pupils, their conduct in general, and the

good order pervading the whole institution have been most gratifying

during the last year which they have passed at Mulky. We only

trust that the change of place may not occasion any change in their

moral status.

The event of paramount importance in our Honore Mission is the

conversion of a Brahman youth which we consider well worth a detail-

ed account here. #

Paul Ganesharao Kausika, the son of the Tahasildar at Honore, and be-

longing to the influential caste of the Saraswati Brahmans, made his first ac-

quaintance with the word of God at an English School, where his serious turn

of mind and his thirst after knowledge became remarkable.

Having passed

the examination required for the entrance into Government service, he still

continued his enquiring habits, sent for an English Bible with a short com-

mentary, and in his lonely study of the book, he began to feel convinced that

%

in it the truth was set before him.

Brabmanism had no longer any hold on

him, nor did he hide his indifference to its ceremonies.

His father saw with

distress the change in his son, but did not positively interfere with his predi-

lections.

In December 1861, Br. Albrecht with a Catechist arrived at Honore;

this occurrence greatly encouraged and strengthened the young Brahman in

I

his convictions, and in the beginning of April he resolved to sever the ties that

still bound him outwardly to heathenism, and openly to confess Christ and

0

join his disciples.

He invited Br. Kaundinya, a former caste-fellow of his, to

1

ty

come up and assist him at the impending crisis, which he feared would cost

him a hard struggle.

Elias, temporary assistant of the English Govt. School

}I(

at Honore proved during these days of great use to him by his sympathizing

n;

and prudent conduct.

Br. Kaundinya hastened to Honore, but the father of

Jjust as Br. Kaundinya was about to leave the house; great was the joy at first,

but serious the conversation that followed. After a number of searching ques-

tions concerning his real desire and the sincerity of his intention, and a frank

statement of what might follow his step—and his friend could speak from his

own experience— Ganesharao solemnly declared,” that he would take the step

in the name of Christ and with His help. Both knelt then down and implored

the Lord for strength, wisdom, and grace during the threateaing storm, and

after they had read together the 14th, 15th and 16th chapters of St. John, Br.

Albrecht returned from the evening service and joined them.

Ganesharao was

to write a letter to his father, but before it could he sent away, some of his re-

lations had come in search of him, and shortly after his father with a great

multitude.

Deeply moved he met his son.

“Child of my heart, what art thou

doing here? What is thy intention?” I believe in Jesus and wish to remain

with the Christians.” “Come now home with me.” “I cannot, I should have to

worship idols with you.” “Thou art at full liberty to do as thoa pleasest,

1

3l

come only home!”” “I am not free amongst you, and besides I wish openly to

il

confess Christ and to be baptized in His name.” Now his father seized him and

tried to pull him out of the room, which however the Missionaries prevented—

)|

af

he might speak alone with his son and try to persuade him, but force must not

be resorted to.

o

Trembling from anger and sorrow the old man fell down faint-

ing, and when he rose, he begged to be seated with his son in the verandah.

ith

The whole compound was filled with excited people and a tumult was appre-

i

hended.

16}

Some policemen guarded the verandah, but without greatly impress-

ing the crowd of their power.

m

Whilst the Tahasildar was expostulating with

his son in the verandah, a bystander threw suddenly, thuggee-like, a handker-

hat

and

chief over the head of the youth to drag him forcibly away, a scuffle ensued,

to

in which the Missionaries received several blows, but a friendly hand got be-

tween the cloth and the neck of Ganesharao and prevented his being suffocated.

005t

hool

Having got rid of his adversary he fled into the Mission-house, where he re-

jing

mained secure. The Tahasildar remembering his official dignity, recovered his

selfpossession and the tumult subsided.

It had become dark and the father

r of

wished once more to converse with his son.

The ensuing scene was touching

g

beyond description.

) hiS

Ganesharao was with Br. Kaundinya in an inner room,

the father stood before the open door.

“Darling son, come out, sit on my lap,

ning

that I may once more embrace thee, since thou wilt not return with me.” “Ah,

jcille

son'S

pardon, my father, I dare not venture to come out, a new tumult might arise.”

“Fear not, I am here, no one shall touch thee!” “But, father, it is not in thy

) 6%

power to prevent a tumult, I would rather not come out.” “O my son, hast

md&y

thou lost all filial affection for me, has thy heart become hard as stone?” “No,

100SC

father, my heart is not hard like stone, I heartily love thee, but pardon me,

that I act contrary to thy wishes, I must now harden my heart, for the Lord

gn 8¢

Jesus has said, ‘whosoever loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy

4

e

26

of me.” “If thou actest thus, what's the use of my life? It is better for me to

sacrifice it somehow.” “Not so, my father, I remain thy son, and shall ever

love thee.”

Thus it coutinued for some time under many tears from father

and son.

At last he rebuked Ganesharao’s conduct as grossly disobedient

and impious, and said that such painful ruptures of the most sacred ties could

not be according to the will of God; but his son quietly replied, that if heathen-

ism and especially caste, was not, such scenes would not happen.

Seeing

that all his exertions, to move his son, were in vain, the old man returned to

the verandah, where his friends comforted him after their fashion.

One said :

“Thy son does not care for thee any more, let us now go home; when children

die, their parents do not therefore die along with them; consider Ganesharao

as dead and recover thyself.” Another continued: “Don’t consider him any

longer to be thy son, he is thine enemy of a former birth, sprung from thy

loins to continue and revenge the old enmity and to ruin thee.” Discomforted

by these heartless comforters the old man went home, burdened that night with

a deep sorrow, which his son would have so gladly spared him, if possible.

No wonder then, that also Ganesharao’s joy, when he sat down that night for

the first time to a simple meal with Christians, was mingled with much an-

guish of soul on account of his dear relatives!

On the following day the Missionaries paid a visit to the Tahasildar to

have a quiet conversation with him. At first he did not receive them, but after-

wards he sent for them with an apology, and one of them returned and found

the old man much composed and even willing to allow his son’s wife to join

her husband, if Ganesharao could persuade her to do so. A meeting was

consented to and arranged, and Ganesharao returned to his father’s house,

Y

accompanied by the two Missionaries.

He was kindly received at home, the

Missionaries remained in the outer court, where a large crowd was assembled,

with whom they conversed meanwhile. After some time the Tahasildar re-

turned with the declaration, that the padres might now go home, he would

§f

discuss with his son a little longer, and, if not successful, would send him

after them. They protested and desired to hear from Granesharao’s lips, whether

01

he wished them to go.

The Tahasildar threatened to expel them by force.

-

They yielded and went away to report the case to the Magistrate and to beg

of

his assistance, should the youth who is of full age be detained in his father’s

house against his will. Whilst engaged in these apparently unsatisfactory

;:

th

proceedings, Elias came with the glad tidings that Ganesharao was all

safe in the Mission-house. His father was true to his word and sent him away

0

in peace when all his persuasions had failed. Appeals of love and threatening

f

from wife, mother, and grandmother could not shake the determination of the

th

youth, who had declared bimself for Christ, not from any worldly motive, but

from his full conviction that in Him was the truth and life eternal. A pilgri-

&y

the

mage was proposed to redeem his lost caste—to no avail. He only begged to

g

9

7

be permitted to return to the Missionaries, as by noact of force they could

change his mind. After the father had let him go, the people, thronging house

and street, brought him forcibly back, till the third time the Tahasildar order-

ed a peon to conduct him in safety to the Mission-house.

Ganesharao had now to decide on his future course of life, whether to con-

tinue his present Government employment or to follow some other calling. His

choice was soon made, he wished to prepare for the service of Christ, but pre-

ferred to go to Mangalore with Br. Kaundinya.

A pattimar was secured, and

the departure fixed upon the evening of the 16th April. Ganesharao’s relations

came down to the beach to see him once more and bid him farewell.

His pa-

rents had sent him his clothes and medicines as he was in delicate health from

the effect of fever; his grandmother sent him word by an express messenger,

that, after he had become a Christian, he should remain faithful to his profes-

sion and be not like many others neither a good Christian nor a good Brah-

man; she begged also his friend (Br. Kaundinya) to nurse him tenderly. On

parting a young Brahman said to the Missionary half in earnest half in irony:

“there are some other youths here, who will soon require your services; and

when they write for you, come speedily to lead them likewise from darkness

to light.”

Immediately after his arrival at Mangalore, Ganesharao had to

bear another attack from his mother-in-law, but it did him no harm.

On

Sunday the 27th April, Quasimodogeniti—he, together with the above men-

d

tioned Mangalore Brahman Narayana, made a cheering profession of his faith

before the assembled native congregation and many heathen spectators, and

At the close of the year, however, the whole mission party, we are

thankful to say, were in the enjoyment of good health.

Br. Stokes

has been transferred to the Southern Mahratta Mission which he joined

as early as March 1862, after having been married to Miss Hill on

the Neilgherries.

The Congregation may be saidto have hada year of quiet and

steady progress in spiritual matters.

There has been no increase in

number nor any other remarkable event, but its members have more

and more learned to depend on their own exertions and to feel it a duty

not only to relieve the mission from the burden of their support, but

also to contribute a small part of their own earnings towards the main-

tenance of their decaying mud-chapel which will hardly last another

year.

The foundations for a more solid and commodious church have

been laid some years ago, but on account of the limited means of our

Committee and the poverty of our native christians the building could

not be carried out.

We pray however that the Lord to whom belong-

eth both silver and gold may incline the hearts of some benevolent

friends who take an interest in the Coorg country to assist us in this

particularly needful undertaking.

We venture to say that the con-

gregation as a body is not unworthy of such a help; most of them,

though weak in knowledge, walk in the fear of God as far as they are

able to understand it.

In consequence of the scarcity of both missionaries and catechists

ne

the station at Almanda is, we regret to say, still left unoccupied. For

s

the same reason the evangelizing of the Coorg people around could not

be attended to more frequently than hitherto, though Br. Kaufmann,

el

ly

apart from his long interruption by sickness, was anxious to improve

ann

every opportunity for speaking to single families and visitors as well

as to the coolies in the plantations about the one thing needful, and

16

af

was also in the habit of preaching once a week at Virarajendrapet. A

school-house is building at the latter place, and a vernacular school will

In the beginning of March 1862 Br. and Sr, Miiller returned from

[0

the coast where they had been absent for two months seeking by this

change the restoration of their strength. They have enjoyed pretty

good health since, and so did Br. Brunner who afterwards left the

station for Dharwar.

Br. Huber who succeeded him has a new task

o1

before him which will require all his energies: the establishment of a

Middle-School similar to those of the Canara and Malabar Districts

and the erection of a suitable building for the Orphan Boys’ Institution

which will be transferred from Malasamudra to Hoobly as soon as

possible. The station thus promises to become foremost in our South-

ern Mahratta Mission, the more so as it has one out-station already add-

ed and fair prospects of soon gaining another. The former, called Una-

kallu, has been referred to in our reports for several years past. On

Sunday, the 6th of July a room was opened at that place for the de-

votional exercises of the little congregation residing there, when their

fellow-christians from Hoobly did not fail to be partakers in their joy

and all of them together with a number of heathen standing outside, glad-

ly listened to the addresses of both missionaries and Catechists for the

first time heard in such a solemn service.

A family of six persons

has since been baptized in the same room, and the whole Hoobly con-

gregation has had an increase of 11 from among the heathen during

the past year. At Hebsuru, another village in the neighborhood,

5

e

34~

a dwelling house for a catechist is being built that regular instruction

may be given to the two families there who profess a desire to be

baptized.

The catechists have continued to be faithful assistants to the mis-

sionaries in the work among the heathen as well as in attending to the

spiritual wants of the congregation which have increased of late since

a regular service is held at the Unakalu out-station every Sunday

afternoon.

The walk of the congregation itself has continued to be

orderly, and a striking contrast between their conduct and that of their

without its special blessings to those who are wont to see the good

hand of the Lord in all that may happen unto them.*

Missionary labor strictly so called has been chiefly conduct-

ed on the spot by preaching every Friday evéning in one of the school-

houses.

But we are sorry to add that the master of that same school,

whose son has broken through the bonds of heathenism some years ago

and is now a happy Christian and diligent pupil of the Preparandi

School at Mangalore, shows very little inclination to follow this good

example and uses to evade every appeal either from the missionaries

or from his son with sophisms like this: “I shall become a Christian

as soon as the time appointed by God will be fulfilled; therefore as

E

long as I do not come to join you, be sure it is not yet time!”—Only

once in 1862 Br. Miiller was at liberty to go abroad on a preaching

tour, it was in November, when he, accompanied by a catechist, visited

about 12 villages in the South and South-west of the station.

Br. and Br. Stokes are still residing at the half-deserted station

of Malasamudra the remains of which are being transferred to different

ather places;some members of the congregation and the Boys’ Boarding

!

School are to join Hoobly, whilst the missionaries themselves will

)

shortly strengthen the hands of their brethren in Bettigherry and take

i

charge of the Girls’ Orphanage there.

Br. Krauss too was unable to

il

maintain his former post at Malasamudra as he fell siek after a preach-

€8

ing tour made with Br. Huber in May 1862, in consequence of which

il

Thus

he had to proceed first to Dharwar and finally to the Nilagiri.

a8

the station established and kept up under more than ordinary difficul-

ly

ties for twenty years past, had, to our great regret, at last to be dissol-

ng

ved. We would humbly discern in this mysterious guidance the finger

fed

of God, but whilst we submit to His holy will without murmur we

would offer the fervent prayer that it may please God to grant a richer

blessing to the Bettigherry station so closely adjoining.—At the latter

ate

place Br. Wiirth steadily continued at his work during the year,

hr

though both he and his partner are beginning to feel the enervating

0186

influence of a tropical climate.

Seeing the number of hearers at the

ctO

regular preaching places to be gradually diminishing of late he resolved

ick

upon adopting another course for sometime, viz. visiting the neighbor-

ing villages and there speaking from house to house to smaller num-

bers.

It is hoped that many people will thus be better prepared for

frequenting those larger assemblies which now and then they them-

B *

36

P

selves wish to see reopened. Ontwo missionary tours made in 1862

Br. Wiirth has met with some evident signs that his labor is not in

vain.

A young goldsmith in a village near the Tungabhadra has of

his own accord been making a full enquiry into the many objections

raised against the Gospel by human reason and was much impressed

by the result of his own examination.

In another village four men

appeared before the missionary professing an ardent desireafterathorough

instruction in the way of salvation and accordingly listened to him

with great interest.—The catechist has taken his full share in this

part of the work as well as in conducting the Parochial Boys’ School.

The state of the Congregation and of the Orphanage has remained

much the same as before.

As to the Catechumeni, one has changed

his abode, another has been found untrustworthy; the baptism of the

remaining three has for various reasons been put off hitherto, but will

shortly be performed. Omne of them is Subbanna whose conversion

we reported last year.

Since then he has had the joy of seeing his

wife following him into Christ’s kingdom.

Of the three Vernacular Schools one had to be given up for want

of competent teachers, but the two others at Bettigherry and Gadag

have since so much improved that the number of boys all together is

even larger than before.

At Gadag the room is too small for them

and we are requested to enlarge the house for receiving those who are

desirous to attend and even to pay a higher fee than we formerly de-

manded. The progress in both schools was satisfactory.

At last this station has been enabled to welcome a second mission-

ary and Br. Kies a long-wished-for fellow-laborer, though not before

January 1863, when Br. Thumm arrived from the Nilagiris. Previous

to that date Br. Kies with his faithful catechist had carried on the

work uninterruptedly at the place itself and in the surrounding district.

To the congregation besides a few children 2 adults from among the

heathen have been added by baptism, one of whom had previously

been among the catechumeni of Bettigherry. Amnother person under

instruction is the son of an older church-member, now apparently grant-

ed by the Lord’s mercy to the repeated prayers of his sorrowing father

who further hopes and prayes that his son’s wife may soon follow

<o — e o o A

the example of her husband. Two young weavers are in the habit of

attending our regular services and other devotional exercises and seem

to be truly convinced of the truth of Christianity, but cannot as yet

take courage openly to confess Christ.—The congregation on the whole

continues deserving the good character given them in former reports,

and the cases for causing anxiety to their pastor have been exceptions

from the general rule.

In February 1862 Br. Kies accompanied by

the catechist made a preaching excursion of four weeks into the West

where he found many ready hearers. But his usual visit to the Sanga-

ma festival in April was, to his own regret, this time prevented paytly

by the wants of the congregation as it happened to be in the very week

before Easter, partly by the cholera just then raging in the country,

in consequence of which there was little prospect of many visitors re-

sorting to or long abiding at the celebrated spot.

How awful the

38

P s

fetters are with which the prince of darkness keeps his slaves in bond-

age their life long, Br. Kies had opportunity of perceiving in a re-

markable manner. He had frequently conversed with a Lingaite about

religious matters.

The man seemed very nearly inclined to open his

heart unto truth, when all was suddenly frustrated by certain devilish

tricks of his countrymen which only too well succeeded in casting such

a terror into the poor man’s mind that he immediately took a vow of

pilgrimage etc. as an atonement for his past indifference to their gods

and ceremonies, and in short entirely relapsed into heathenism. This,

we fear, is the story of many another soul in this country and there-

fore we would, in conclusion, repeatedly ask for the earnest prayers of

our Christian friends for the benefit of the whole Southern Mahratta

Mission, se trying to our faith on account of the slowness of its pro-

gress and the seeming fruitlessness of many and long continued labors.

The two subsequent arrivals of Br. and Sr. Miiller in November

1862 and Br. Schlunk junior in January 1863, were an event of great

joy and encouragement, especially as the past year had been not with-

out sad trials to the former occupants of the Cannanore station.

In

May Br. Strobel was under the necessity of taking his partner to the

Nilagiris for the restoration of her strength, and in September he was

again compelled to hasten thither onaccount of a sudden relapse which

made him anticipate the worst, but through God’s mercy she recover-

ed

Sr. Schlunk too had to seek a change at Chombala for some time

in the month of December.

Br., Bergfeldt in the same month left

Cannanore, for Tellicherry where he had been stationed to superintend

the Preparandi school.

Br. Schmidli took up his residence in the

midst of the Chowa Congregation.

Of the newly arrived laborers Br.

Miiller resumed his former work in th§ congregation as well as in

bazar-preaching, with the assistance of Br. Strobel, whilst Br. F.

Schlunk will strengthen the hands of his brother in the mercantile

establishment and partly set him free for the ménagement of our econo-

mical affairs in the whole Malabar District.—Of the ca,tec_hists one was

transferred to the Canara Mission and another compelled by ill health

will henceforth be still more required since the schools of this and of

other Malabar stations will have to be more carefully looked after and

raised to a higher degree of efficiency.

With regard to the Congregation, 22 souls have been added by

baptism, but only four of them came from among the heathen.

earnest prayer that the Lord may graciously pour out his Spirit upon

this congregation, so much exposed to the dangerous temptations of a

large cantonment and a fanatical Heathen and Mohammedan population.

We wish to see a change in many hearts especially amongstthe younger

people who now and then manifest a spirit of dissatisfaction and dis-

obedience. In the beginning of the yeara zeal for private prayer-meet-

ings was for some time apparent but afterwards gradually abated, till Br.

Miiller began to.invite the members of the congregation to the regular

morning and evening prayers of the Girls’ Institution. Under such cir-

cumstances it is the more refreshing to hear of an incident like the follow-

ing which Br. Strobel* relates of the Chowa outstation:

In September 1862, at a time when sin seemed to abound there as never

llj:

before, one of the elders, a quiet man long laboring under consumption approach-

ed his end, and the day before he expired called as a true elder of Jesus

t

Christ, the congregation together, and—laying aside for once his quiet manner

f

—witnessed such a testimony of the hope that was in him, that few I trust will

forget that solemn hour.

Then shaking hands with each he addressed in

b

earnest language those who by their walk bring shame upon the name of Christ

and called upon them to have done with sin at once, and to flee from the wrath

to come.

He was afterwards commended in prayer to the grace of God by

D

i

in “Evangelical Christendom,” January 1863.

41

one of the missionaries and the catechist of the place; andin the full assurance

of the forgiveness of all his sins, he joyfully fell asleep in Jesus.

Thus died

a man brought up in the slave caste, and living the greater part of his life in

a place abounding with sin and abomination.

Bazar-preaching has been regularly continued by Br. Strobel

and the catechists on two evenings of the week and the brethren gene-

rally met a numerous and well behaved auditory. Some Tiers even

assembled from time to time for reading the Shastras and comparing

their doctrines with the word of God, and more than once they came

to one of the catechists asking explanations about some difficult pas-

sage found in our Scripture. A striking instance of the internal work-

ing of the word of life, even after a long interval of apparent indif-

ference, Br. Strobel gives in another part of the above mentioned letter

showing us the death-bed of a heathen whose last hours were illuminat-

ed by rays emanating from the Sun of Righteousness, and who repre-

sents as yet a small, but yearly increasing, class of young men, not

only at Cannanore, but along the whole coast of Malabar and Canara.

The young man lived in one of the suburbs of Cannanore, and had listened

to the Gospel some fifteen years ago, when a lad of fourteen years of age.

He was never heard of until last year, when his acquaintances and neighbors,

two young men, joined the Church of Christ. He then showed in conversation

that he was no stranger to the truth of the Gospel and even expressed a desire

to become a disciple of Christ.

Some months passed, when in March 1862 he

was on his death-bed brought on by an explosion of gunpowder which fright-

fully burned him.

It was in his last hours that the precious seed sown in his

youthful heart produced its fruit.

Not the favorite gods of his caste, Rama,

Krishna, or Shiva, but Christ Jesus, was his only refuge and hope, and to Him

his Saviour he lifted up his voice in loud and earnest prayer; yea, under prayer

to Jesus he breathed his last! His own brother, a witness of his death, brought

the news of this happy departure to his former friends and neighhors.

The great heathen festivals at Payawur and Taliparambu ‘ha‘ve

been visited as in former years. Br. Strobel with five catechists (bwo

among them from the Tellicherry station) went to Payawur where

many heathen came to pay him a visit in his tent as soon as it was

pitched. Inthe mornings and evenings crowds of pilgrims were ad-

:E;

dressed, the number of hearers some times amounting to more than 200.

There was no disturbance of any kind and a good number of tracts

6

42

P

could be sold during those days. Soon afterwards in March 1862 the

Brethren Hanhart and Bergfeldt were with some catechists engaged in

similar work at Taliparambu, but found the number of heathen pre-

sent very small in comparison with former years.

Ounly at the last

day of the feast they had an opportunity of preaching to larger crowds

and inviting these deluded idolaters to seek the truth and find rest for

their souls in Christ Jesus.

The Girls’ Boarding School at Cannanore, as may easily be

imagined, suffered under the disadvantage of an irregular European

superintendence as Srs. Strobel and Schlunk were interrupted by sick-

ness and Miss Will frequently ailing. Only the catechist and his wife

could steadily continue their work.

Since last November, however,

Br. and Sr. Miiller have taken charge of the institution and will, we

trust, long be able to devote themselves to this task. Six girls have

newly entered, and nearly all were graciously preserved in good health.

A desire to hear God’s word and to stand in a prayerful communion

with the Lord is a pleasing feature among the girls of a more tender

age, but some of the bigger ones give much trouble.

Among the Schools we look with great joy and hope on those at

the Chowa outstation where Br. Schmidli has won first of all the hearts

of the children and by their instrumentality is gaining a wholesome

influence on their parents also.

He had hard work at the Parochial

School in the beginning and many a time went himself and fetched the

children out of their homes, reminding the adults of their duty to send

them to school.

Now they begin to understand the advantage of edu-

cation ; the attendance is regular and the progress gratifying. For the

elder boys from 14 to 18 years a night-school was opened and kept up

This station too, as may be seen from the above names showing its

by

present state, has experienced great changes and trials. For the greater

part of the year Br. and Sr. Aldinger were still numbered among its

laborers; in March however his health broke down and obliged him to

f

take recourse to the Hills where under God’s blessing his strength was

(0

so far restored that he was enabled to resume his duties a few months

§

after. In the meantime it pleased the Lord to lay aside from the work

b

Sr. Burkhardt whose youthful frame showed unmistakable symptoms

{0

of consumption which, we are sorry to say, has rapidly advanced of

6 *

44

late in spite of all medical efforts to subdue it.

Her removal to the

Nilagiris with the least possible delay was found absolutely necessary

in June and since then her husband was obliged to devote himself to nurs-

ing her.

His intended transfer to the Mangalore station, where he,

in conjunction with Br. Finckh was to open a combined Catechist

School calculated to receive pupils from both the Preparandi Schools

in the Canara and Malabar Districts has, to our great regret, thus prov-

ed impossible, as he is still detained on the hills. Br. Hanhart was trans-

ferred to Tellicherry in November and was soon afterwards married to

Miss Lang who together with Miss Gtz, now Mrs. Reinhardt, had ar-

rived from Germany shortly before.

After this Br. and Sr. Aldinger

left for Chombala, and finally in December Br. Bergfeldtwas sent from

Cannanore to take Br. Burkhardt’s place at the Middle School.

Public preaching could, under the above circumstances, not be

much attended to; only Br. Reinhardt was enabled, besides his other

duties, to preach regularly in the bazar and to make one short excur-

sion.—Seven persons from among the heathen have been received by

baptism into the congregation.

Br. Hanhart has now stepped into the

charge of it, but the ordinary services are divided among the brethren.

An additional prayer-meeting is held in private houses every Sunday,

and daily family worship is properly attended to.

A few cases of

heathenish practices, however, having occurred during the yearwe are

reminded rather to watch and pray than to praise our Christians in

general.

The Middle School (or Preparandi School) has naturally labor-

ed under the drawback of repeated changes in its superintendence.

R T ™ e e

During the monsoon Br. Diez from Chombala took charge of it in Br.

Burkhardt’s stead, and in November Br. Aldinger lent his assistance

on account of the same emergency. Other interruptions were occa-

sioned by a good deal of sickness among the pupils at several times;

yet the school has been kept in good order which is principally due to

the two assistant teachers, Catechists Diego Fernandez and Jacob

Chammancheri. At the commencement of the term in ’63 a new class

Ii

was received which raised the number of scholars to 35 so that the

i

institution being divided into four classes has now attained its former-

B

45

ly planned extension and, we trust, will soon begin to send forth a

number of well prepared students mto the Catechist School at

Mangalore.

The Anglo-Vernacular School now being amalgamated by

permission of Government with the so called “Brennen’s School,”” has

continued in its flourishing condition under the management of Br

Reinhardt

There is a want however of assistant teachers at present,

and consequently the highest class numbering only four boys had to

be discontinued

The remaining four classes, it is to be hoped, will

gain by this arrangement and improve steadily. About Christmas a

public examination took place

The school has lately been removed

to the new building erected for the purpose and Br. Reinhardt has

taken up his abode in the town itself which he finds much more con-

venient for his work than his residence on the Nettur hill three miles

from Tellicherry.—Among the 4 Vernacular Schools the one at Dhar-

mapattanam gives us unqualified pleasure; the others are just now in

a fair way of improving

The Boys’ Orphanage notwithstanding the addition of 21

new boarders, has actually not increased in number, as several boys

have left it for various causes, especially sickness, and three have died

f

during the year

Both Br. Aldinger and Br. Hanhart who had in suc-

cession the superintendence of the institution were rejoiced to witness

the good conduct of the greater part of its inmates

The most advanc-

ed of them always have permission to attend the Anglo-Vernacular

School in town and give satisfaction

The Parochial Girls

School

has been conducted in the same way as last year, but had to encounter

many difficulties from teachers and pupils

The European agency of this station has completely changed dur-

ing the year under review. Br. and Sr. Diez as well as Br. Hanhart

had been stationed here for the greater part of it, for in October only

Br. and Sr. Aldinger took charge of the station.

Br. Hanhart besides

his pastoral labors at Chombala, devoted much of his time to itinerary

preaching; thus in January 1362 and once more in April and May he

was travelling about in the district of Palghaut, in Febr. in the environs

of Chombala, in March at Taliparambu etc. He was generally accom-

panied by one or more catechists, and thus much good seed has been

broad cast over the land and we pray the Lord of the harvest to cause

it to be fruitful at a future time.

A number of tracts also has been

sold on these occasions, though not unfrequently a superstitious fear

of some secret charm supposed to be hidden in our articles was en-

countered.

it read to him by a boy. At last making up his mind ﬁe exclaimed :

“Well, I will run the risk,”” and bought it.—Several heathen festivals

have been visited as well as a great many houses by both Br. Diez and

Hanhart whom the Catechists either accompanied or temporarily re-

lieved of their ordinary business at the station itself.

The Congregation had little increase from abroad and, besides

this, has lost some of its former members who accompanied Br. Diez

to his new station Codacal.

The regular services are well attended,

but family prayer is not so much appreciated and practised as we

could wish, though people are wont to pray daily by themselves and

on occasion of the missionary visiting them generally expect a more

solemn act of devotion to be performed by him.

One woman having

been taken ill relapsed into heathenish ceremonies but appears to have

truly repented afterwards.

A dismissed catechist who had become a

backslider some five years ago, is about to join us again.

Signs are

not wanting that the churchmembers are sincerely attached to their

pastors, though some of them still find it very hard. to support them-

selves and their families.

The Calicut Station has seen

great changes during the past year.

The return of Br. Fritz in March 1862, to the sphere of his former

labors, after an absence of somewhat more than two years was a joyful

event, likewise the speedy restoration to full health and strength of

Br. Schauffler who was seriously ill.

But along with these blessings

we had also to drink the cup of affliction.

Br. Convert had such a

severe relapse of his former complaint that a prolonged change to the

Hills was imperative and we are afraid, to judge by his present state

of health, of losing his services altogether. May our heavenly Master

whose he is and whom he served with great zeal and devotedness re-

gulate the future of our dear brother as will be best for him and the

cause to which he has dedicated his life!

The place of one of our younger catechists who has become a

teacher in the Tellicherry Preparandi School was supplied by Mattai

Kunyen a man of more advanced age and maturer experience. He

:

has joyfully entered upon his new duties whilst the time and energies

49

of his younger colleague are particularly devoted to teaching in the

girls’ school for which he shows both talent and interest.

In the course of the year 18 souls have by baptism been received

into the congregation. Of these however three only were adults. One

of these, a youth of about 19 years had for some time previous been

employed as teacher in our Anglo-Vernacular school. He is a native

of Mahé. When quite young his uncle took him to Bomwbay where, for

a number of years, he attended the Robert Money Institution of the

Church Missionary Society. The seed sown there into his youthful

heart fell into good ground.

After his return to Malabar he was for

a short time employed as teacher in the Palghaut Mission School.

From thence he came here and after some further time of probation

and instruction he declared his faith in Christ, his Saviour and his de-

sire to cast in his lot with the people of God.

He was baptized by

Br. Convert on Good Friday 1862 and still continues in his former

sphere of labor.

Our prayer for him is that the Lord Jesus whom he

loves may still become more precious to his soul. Of the other young

man who was baptized with him, a Tamulian by birth, we know

nothing. He left almost immediately after his bantism and without

giving any notice, nor have we since heard of him.

May the good

shepherd have mercy on this stray sheep !

With regard to the spiritual state of our congregation we are an-

xiously waiting for a time of refreshment from the presence of our

Lord.

Their attendance on the preaching of the word of life on the

Lord’s day is on the whole good and regular, but we yearn for a grea-

ter development of spiritual life in them which shows itself in an

earnest zeal by word and conduct to lead others to Christ.

Over some

13

of the members we had to mourn on account of their wordliness and

backslidings whilst others have cheered our hearts by a manifest de-

sire to walk as becomes the members of Christ’s flock.

A few months after Br. Fritz's return from Europe he was called to attend

the death-bed of Aaron Kunyoo, one of the oldest members of our congregation.

il

He was a Nair by birth and was since 1844 in connexion with the Mission.

[

He was a man of very few words and never attempted to make any show of

his religion, most punctual in his calling and conscientious in all he was en-

68

trusted with. We at times suspected him of something like self-righteousness

However during the time of his illness and when

and warned him against it.

death drew nigh, it became manifest, that he had not built on that sandy found-

ation but on the rock, even Christ. He often would exclaim: “All I have and de-

sire to have, is Christ.

He is with me, he will never forsake me.”

The only

care that still seemed to weigh heavily on his mind was Samuel, his only son,

At last he was en-

who, he too well saw, was still a stranger to saving grace.

abled to commit this aiso to Him who has promised to care for us.

He died

76 years old. His end was peace.

Public preaching to the heathen has not been so regularly carried

on as we could wish.

The Brethren Convert and Schauffler went as

often as health and time would admit to the weekly market places in

the neighborhood of Calicut.

The yearly festival at Kirur was also

visited by Br. Schauffler and the Catechists where they had for

soveral days many opportunities to preach Jesus to vast multitudes

of people some of whom listened with interest whilst others manifested

strong opposition to what the brethren had to tell them.

May some

of the seed have fallen on good ground and bring fruit for eternity!

The Anglo-Vernacular School continues still to be a source of joy

to us. Under the circumspect management of Br. Convert the number

of scholars increased to 180, of whom above 100 were at the beginn-

ing of this year admitted into the Government Provincial School. The

vacancy thus created is gradually filling up, the present average attend-

ance having again risen to 105 daily.

All the teachers with the ex-

ception of one are Christians. On Br. Convert’s departure Br. Schauffler

has taken charge of the School.

In the purely Vernacular Schools of which we had five in Calicut

and the adjacent villages with about 140 children both Br. Schauffler

and the Catechists spent daily several hours.

By an order however

from our Committee these schools were closed partly as we suppose

from want of funds, but especially because it was thought they absorb-

od too much of the time of our Mission agency without corresponding

results.

For a better concentration of our labors the Committee pro-

posed to establish one or two Central Vernacular Schools in the town

itself, and we hope fora good result. Deficient in some respect, as those

re~

village §cho ols may appear, yct were they nct altogether without direct

51

——

sults in a missionary point of view. Some years ago one of their

teachers found the pearl of great price and died a happy believer.

The son of another teacher was converted and is now a student in the

Missionary College at Basel.

In the establishment of these schools

the lamented Mr. Conolly took a great interest and supported them to

the hour of his death from his private purse.

May the Lord vouch-

safe still greater blessings to the schools now to be established on a

new and improved plan and may He move the hearts of some of our

friends to come forward and lend us a helping hand in this new under-

.

taking!

Girls’ Boarding School.

This establishment has also had

its share of trials during the past year.

In Aaron Kunyoo it lost its

“house-father,” he having since 1844 managed the temporal concerns

of the Institution.

£

The 23d of January was a day of severe gric

L

for the poor girls, it being the day of the departure of Br. and Si.

Convert, for some years their teachers and guardians and to whom the

children were greatly attached.

On their leaving us the management

of the school passed into the hands of Br. and Sr. Fritz, Sr. Lauffer

continuing as hitherto her assistance in teaching the girls sewing,

knitting ete.

The standard of education for our young men having been raised it

was found necessary that a similar step should be taken in the Girls’

School.

We have at present 65 boarders. Of these 12 were selected

to form the higher department of the school. These also receive lessons

in English. The general behavior of the children has been satisfact-

ory and in the hearts of some, we trust, the Lord’s spirit has commen-

ced a work of grace.—The state of health during the year has been

good. May this institution also become in the hand of God, a nursery

for his kingdom !

Our two Industrial Establishments, viz. the Carpenter

and weaving Shops have again proved useful auxiliaries to our station.

They were called into existence about 12 years ago and had to struggle

with many difficulties till they attained their present position.

The

quantity of cloth woven for native and European use amounted to 6836

yards which occupied 14 men and 11 women under a native master.

7%

52

With respect to the Industrial and mercantile Establishments connected with

our Mission some misconceptions seem to have laid hold on the minds of our

English Friends, so at least we conclude from a leading article in the Madras

Observer (Nro. 25, 1862) noticing our last year’s Report, and we think it our

duty to remove them.

These establishments are in the first instance under

the direction not of ordained Missionaries, but lay agents who have been train-

ed for their peculiar work and are guided by the advice of a separate Com-

mission of our Home Committee.

Their financial affairs too are independent

of the Mission funds and furnished by the Commission, the net profit however

goes towards the Mission funds.

Their object from the beginning was, not to

set up boarding houses for poor converts where the “hot-bed influence of Mis-

sion Establishments” might be cherished, but to offer the best means for a

healthful creation and development of industrious pursuits and habits based on

These

christian principles, a thing so rare even amongst native Christians.

establishments offer no attractions to the idler, for he has to earn his daily

bread by the labor of his own hands, they are in fact workshops for the train-

ing of christian artisans and many of cur orphan boys and other young men

have been greatly benefited by them and gained a position in life which secures

them against falling a burden to the Mission.

The community at large is

aware of the boon afforded to them by the produce and dealings of these esta-

blishments and greatly patronize their efforts; but most grateful of all is the

missionary himself who thereby has been set free from so many harassing

cares about the useful employment and honorable provision of many of our

poor Christians so that his time may now be entirely spent in the discharge

These establishments, rightly consider-

of his proper duties as an evangelist.

ed, can certainly not be regarded as “necessary evils,” but rather as desirable

boons for any mission congregation which, along with christian education,

strives also after secular enlightening and progress!

For many years past Codacal had been an out-station of Calicut

and, since 1857, occupied by one of the missionaries, Br. Bosshard

who has hitherto done the work, single-handed as he was, with great

exertion and devotedness.

Considering, however, the importance of

this new congregation, now almost equal in number to that of Calicut,

our Committee came to the resolution of raising it to the rank of a

separate station and ordered Br. Diez to join its former occupant.

In

October 1862 he with his wife and Miss A. Blandford arrived there

from Chombala, and took charge of the congregation so that Br.

Bosshard will henceforth have more time for the management of the

secular affairs of the station.

He had the more reason to welcome this

In

reinforcement as the past year had brought its trials to him too.

March he was very ill, the climate as well as the great multitude of

cares and sorrows connected with his work pressed heavily upon him.

But the Lord renewed his strength after a temporary change to Calicut

which did him good for body and soul. Soon afterwards he was cheer-

ed by being permitted to see a rich fruit of his labors in the conversion

of 18 persons, most of them belonging to the Tier caste.

They had

soon to prove the sincerity of their intentions in many a hard struggle

with relations and friends, but God gave them grace to remain stedfast

-

and to make a good confession in the face of their adversaries,

“I

54

s

shall not go back,” said one, “though all yoﬁr curses and imprecations

were to destroy me, which, however, my Saviour will protect me

against.”” After due preparation and instruction given by Br. Bosshard

they were received into Christ’s Church by the Senior of the Calicut

station, Br. Fritz who baptized them, closing in this joyful manner the

superintendence of the out-station which shall henceforth be left to the

charge of its own pastor under the blessing of Him who has establish-

ed it.

The Congregation has generally conducted itself in an orderly

manner and Christian spirit.

A few members on one occasion, caused

Br. Bosshard great grief by partaking in the famdsk of a heathen fes-

tival, but the greater part are living peaceful and happy in their

houses.

The Parochial School is not in a very satisfactory state as

to the progress of the children, on account of the irregular attendance

of many. Since November a separate Girls’ School has been opened

under the direction of Miss Blandford and with the cooperation of Mrs.

Diez.

The Vernacular School at Mangalam, a neighboring village, has

Jately been given over to the charge of a new teacher who promises to

be better fitted for his business than his predecessor whom we

had to dismiss for want of abilities and obedience.

The school-house

has been used by Br. Bosshard for occasionally holding discussions

with heathen adults on Gospel truths with which they had become ac-

quainted by his preaching here and on the market-places of the neigh-

borhood. The Catechists cheerfully assisted him in this as well as

other branches of his work, one of them regularly attending on the

small out-station Paraperi.

The good hopes and encouraging prospects which we entertained

in our last report with regard to this station, have, we are sorry to

say, not been realized yet. The harvest among the Shanars of Tatta-

mangalam which for a moment seemed to be so near at hand, has not

been gathered. The poor, ignorant people still hesitate to take the fi-

nal step for fear of persecution and doubt as to their future subsistence

after becoming Christians. They wish toseetheir way clear before them

and we cannot hold out a promise of unqualified support to them. May the

Lord strengthen their faith in His promise that those who seek first the

kingdom of God and His righteousness shall have also all other things

added unto them, and may they soon experience, how good it is to

put their entire trust in Him.—The Brethren have persevered in their

work, though left without the aid of catechists; one of the two assign-

ed for the station is disabled by ill health and the other evinced such

a spirit of dissatisfaction and disobedience that his dismissal proved un-

avoidable.

Under such circumstances the work among the heathen

could not be extended beyond the town of Palghaut and its immediate

neighborhood ; here as many houses as possible have been visited with

the word of the Gospel and a good number of tracts and Scripture por-

tions in the Malayalam and Tamil languages has been sold.

The Palghaut Congregation consists of a mixture of the Dra-

vidian races among whom the wandering Tamulians are a continual

source of anxiety to the Missionary on account of their ignorance and

carnal-mindedness. Some other church-members, however, have given

Br. Herre great satisfaction not only by their sincere attachment to

56

——

the mission but by their zeal in reading and hearing the word of God

whenever practicable. The attendance at the public services was more

regular than formerly and the women assembled for a separate prayer-

meeting once a week with Sr. Herre.—To give the missionaries the

required assistance at the station or abroad, as the case may be, Cate-

chist Timothy is transferred from Chombala to Palghaut.

‘The Anglo-Vernacular School under the management of

Br. Metzger enjoyed an increase of attendance and the conduct and pro-

gress of the pupils was on the whole very satisfactory. The oldest

scholars have, indeed, acquired a good deal of sound Christian know-

ledge, but others left the school objecting to Bible instruction.—An

attempt to establish and conduct a Vernacular Schoolat Cannani, about

three miles from Palghaut, has been made; the school had a promising

commencement chiefly through the zeal of a young man who shows

himself very friendly to the cause of Christianity; 16 boys were col-

lected, and from July to November instructed in the ordinary way,

when a bitter opposition arose from the father of the said young man,

and we were obliged to discontinue the school for the present.

The arrival from Europe of Sr. Moerike and Br. Metz has been

mentioned already, and the cheering and encouraging influence of such

a reunion may easily be imagined. Yet it pleased the Lord to let us

taste the bitterness of parting too, for not only have the Brethren

Thumm and Wenger left us for other stations, but Br. Wiirtele has been

removed from us to another home above. Some particulars of his short

life and death willbe found inthe Obituary. The gap thus created was

filled up by the addition of Br. Krauss, late of Malasamudra, whose

health required a more bracing climate.

All these changes notwith-

standing, the work is carried on now as before, Br. Metz chiefly devot-

ing his time and strength to itinerary preaching among the hill tribes.

A number of invalids from other stations coming and going at differ-

ent seasons, has given additional variety to the Nilagiri Mission, and

all have again to thank our friend Dr. Leslie of Coonoor for his very kind

and unremitting medical services which we have enjoyed for so many

years without 1nte1rupt10n

As to the Mission work, there has not been any year of equal im-

portance since the date of the first conversion among the Badagas, and

we are happy to add, none of equal success and most visible blessings

from on high. Justat a time when our first convert Abraham was

suffering with Christian patience under a very severe family affliction,

8

58

e

two of his beloved children having been carried away by a typhoid

fever, the Lord gave us infallible proof of His gathering together a

people unto himself also in these places. Not only have many heathen

received a wholesome impression of the reality of the Christian’s faith

at witnessing the peaceful death of Abraham’s daughter who departed

full of lively hope in Jesus and was counted happy by all those pre-

sent, but on the very day of the death of his son, a Badaga youth at

Kotagherry was received by baptism into Christ’s church, 22d May

1862.

He was an intimate friend and school-fellow of young Samuel

whose conversion hasbeen the chief event of our last report; with him

he had many a secret meeting for the purpose of reading God’s word

and conversing about it.

After many difficulties thrown in his way

by the suspicions and precautions of his relatives, he at last succeeded

in making his escape, and in his final struggle, in which he manfully

stood against severe threatenings and alluring temptations, the Gospel

gained a complete victory and gave us this Daniel, as he isnow called,

like one rescued from the lions’ mouth. Nor was this the end of the

Lord’s dealings in those days. *

Abraham’s son-in-law, a Brahman by caste, who five years ago had left his

house, adjoining that of Abraham’s, and taken refuge with the other heathen

to save himself from pollution, though he was often spoken to, and impressed

with the truth, had hitherto remained at a distance and seemed rather indiffer-

ent

But now all of a sudden he and his wife declared themselves on the

Lord’s side, gave up caste, returned to their former house, and. earnestly asked

for baptism. For nearly a month they were regularly instructed in the way

of life, and although often insulted and molested in various ways by their hea-

then relations and caste people, they only grew stronger in their desire to join

the people of God, esteeming the reproaches of Christ greater riches than the

worldly advantages of caste friendship. The bold and decided profession of

these new candidates for baptism had a most beneficial effect upon others, and

especially on a lad of the same village, about 14 years old, who had been a pu-

pil of our training class for the last three years. After a time of trial to us and

to himself, during which he had to leave us, he was received again as pupil at

the earnest request of his own father and friends, who had no idea of the re-

sult to which their petition might lead. Soon after this he showed himself an-

xious to become a Christian, and asked for a special instruction, which he,

* See an account of the following events in a letter sent to the “Madras Observer”

under the 29th of June 1862.

59

with his superior abilities, obtained with ‘great profit to his soul.

However

willing we were to receive and protect him at once, his age seemed an insurmoun-

table difficulty to his joining us now. But God over-ruled it all. His intention

became clearer to his people, and at length, fairly alarmed, they kept him at

bome, watched him closely, and by means of idleness, threatenings and pro-

mises, tried to extinguish the growing desire of his soul.

To avoid suspicion

we could not venture to see him often, but committed him to the Lord of the

harvest.

On a Sunday after the service in the Christian part of the village,

Br. Moerike got a glimpse of him with some difficulty, as he had been told to

hide himself as soon as the migsionary was observed approaching the house.

When he saw him he was deeply moved, and Br. Moerike had just time to ad-

dress a few words of comfort and to point him to the text of the day (it was

Whit Sunday).

During this time of confinement the eyes of his guardians

were evidently holden, for whilst watching him outwardly with all care, they

allowed him to read as much as he liked, and his Bible too, by which the Holy

Spirit all the while continued to work in him and accomplished the very reverse

of what they were aiming at.

Instead of being discouraged, yea, paralyzed

by their treatment, as they thought, he became more and more convinced that

this was the time of grace for him, and consequently the resolution gradually

ripened in him to risk a flight from the village and to take refuge with us. Five

days more passed, and on Saturday morning the 14th of June he availed him-

self of a favorable moment to leave the village unobserved, and guite unexpec-

tedly made his appearance at our door, having come with the full determina-

tion to become a Christian at all hazards.

Now followed those trying scenes

which are familiar to them that know the history of missions in this country.

Several attempts were made to induce him to go back, but none made him wa-

ver for one instant. It was most providential that his nearest relations, enraged

as they were, abstained of their own accord from going to law, hecause they

saw that, even if brought back to them by force, he would have ceased to be

one of theirs.

The whole event bearing the stamp of God’s hand so distinctly in

every particular, we could only give thanks and praise to him, who,

after a time of waiting for another display of grace, thus condescended

to glorify His name before our eyes.

On Sunday, the 22d June, the

above mentioned two adults (Silas and Mary), the youth (Jacob), and

a child, were baptized into the death of Christ, and several Christian

friends joined us on the occasion to be partakers of our joy as they

had borne with us our sorrows.

There has been another baptism at Kaity of a native family resi-

ding at Ootacamund whose head appears to have been drawn unto Jesus

8-’&

60

by the means of manifold afflictions

After due preparation and in-

struction given by our missionaries these seven souls were received

into the congregation in the month of October

So far all is cheering

and hopeful, but one thing is to be regretted, viz. that our Vernacular

Schools have again been greatly reduced in consequence of the sensa-

tion caused by those conversions

Br. Wenger was grieved at seeing

several of them more than half empty for a considerable time, and Br-

Krauss who has taken the superintendence after him, will have need

of much patience till they attaintheir former flourishing state.

The

Lord, we trust, who has shown his soul-winning power among the

adults, will not abandon the young.

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the

Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.”

With these words of Scripture we are-called upon to comfort one another, on

the loss of them which are asleep, that we sorrow not, even as others which

have no hope, though it be a painful duty now to report on the departure of

two beloved members of our Mission, Sr. Biihrer and Br. Wiirtele

The one

was suddenly called away at the beginning and the other after long sufferings

at the end of the period under review.

Sophia Frederica Hochstetter was born 15th Oct. 1823 in the kingdom of

Wiirttemberg where her father is still an active cler gyman

Before she was

three years of age she lost her mother, though not without having a vivid re-

membrance of her impressed upon her young heart

Subsequently when a girl

of thirteen' she was received into the house of a very pious minister of the

Gospel who on account of his originality and Christian experience was con-

sidered a spiritual father by many (our Br. Moegling among them), viz. the

late Professor Spleiss of Schaffhausen in Switzerland. Her own father having

been led unto Christ by his instrumentality, a bond of brotherly love and inti-

mate acquaintance ever after existed between them, and the daughter passed five

whole years under this hospitable roof where she felt quite at home and profited

much in various accomplishments, but more especially in seeing and following

an example of genuine godliness, manifesting itself in the daily walk of both

the parents of her adoption

In 1842 she returned into her father’s house, and

in 1846 she cheerfully accepted a call to our Indian Mission-field, when her

father as well as her god-father, Mr. Spleiss, solemnly dismissed her with their

blessings. In February 1847 she arrived at Mangalore and was soon after

married to Br. A. Biihrer to whom she has ever shown herself a loving and

faithful partner through good and evil days.

For some years she found a

sphere of usefulness in the Mangalore Girls’ Orphanage, but in 1850 she was

obliged to accompany her hushand who was very ill at the time, to the Nila-

giris and after his restoration they were both transferred to the Mulky Mission

where she devoted much of her time and energies to the female part of the con-

gregation and in particular to the instruction of the girls who were wont to as-

semble around her every afternoon

Again she was called to Mangalore, in

1855, by the wants ot the Girls’ Boarding School which was then entirely

given to her charge, till her health as well as that of her hushand was so much

impaired that a change to Europe was unavoidable.

After a long and tiresome

voyage round the Cape, with a party of missionaries

children, she at last

found the necessary rest in her old home during the years 1857 and 1858. At

the end of the latter'year Br. and Sr. Biihrer had so far improved in their state

of health, that they could set out once more for India.

When taking leave of

6

wod

her children, she could not get rid of a strong presentiment that they would

not meet again in this life.

Four years of renewed labor at the Mangalore

station closed her course here below, and in spite of much bodily suffering

which now and then fell to her lot, she was always busy in superintending the

Balmattha Girls’ School, as well as in assisting and giving advice to the women

of the large congregation, a work which was facilitated to her more than to

others by her thorough acquaintance with the Tulu language.

But it pleased

the Lord to call her to his rest, suddenly and unexpectedly to all except herself.

She was long prepared for a fatal end of her approaching confinement and often

said to her hushand: I shall not survive this time, the Lord will take me unto

himself, poor sinner as I am, yet knowing that in Jesus I shall die a happy

death, He has received me according to His grace.”

On the 17th of March

1862, after having given birth to a son who survives her, she departed in peace,

the name of Jesus repeatedly being on her lips. The burial took place on the

following morning, when Br. Finckh spoke at the grave in English, and Br.

Hauff in Tulu to the congregation who were standing around, as partakers in

the great loss with her deeply afflicted husband and six children.

Christian Jacob Wiirtele was born in Wiirttemberg 21st November 1833. He

entered the Mission College at Basel when he was nineteen years of age and

after having gone through the regular course of studies there he was sent out

to the India Mission and left Europe in September 1857, aczompanied by the

Brethren Minner and Huber.

A long and particularly wearisome voyage

round the Cape brought him to his destination not before March 1858 when he

arrived at Udapy, a station which was afflicted by severe trials for some time.

Br. Camerer whom he had come to assist departed this life on the 9th of November

and Br. Wiirtele who nursed him with great devotedness during his last days,

was seized with the same typhoid fever.

He was obliged, after several relapses,

to go for a change of air to Mangalore and the Malabar stations.

No sooner

had he returned to Udapy in comparative health, when he was ordered by our

Committee to join the Nilagiri Mission which he accordingly did in March 1859,

not aware that he had by this time already reached the last stage of his short

Br. Moerike who from the day of his arrival at Kaity stood in

earthly career.

the most intimate connexion and continual brotherly intercourse with him, has

kindly furnished us with the following particulars:

Feeling much benefited by the change he threw himself at once into his new

sphere of labor in the schools for which he was set apart, with all the energy

and devotion which was peculiar to him. Having mastered oneIndian language

before he joined the Hill mission he succeeded in an incredibly short space of

time in acquiring a good knowledge of Canarese as well as a smattering of

Tamil which he needed for his schools, whilst all the while he was actively en-

gaged in instructing the schoolboys and their masters.

For he very soon saw,

that, in order to improve the character of the schools, he ought to do his utmost

e

63

to improve thesmasters, who being the first teachers, ever educated among the

Badagas, were still very deficient in many respects.

In attending to this most

important task his deep conscientiousness and great zeal carried him too far,

and when the effects of overwork became apparent to himself and to his breth-

ren, it was in God’s holy wisdom too late, to remedy the evil.

He was a most

healthy looking, powerful man, whose constitution seemed to defy every exer-

tion of mind and body, his natural character had acquired great strength for

his youth, his judgment was excellent, his intellectual abilities were above the

average, and of a most practical turn, so that he never was at a loss on any

question or in any difficulty, and even the heathen, who are such close observ-

ers of us, used to say of him that he never behaved like a new-comer. To crown

all these valuable qualities his religious feelings were very deep.

Even in his

early childhood he felt the drawings of the Father to the Son and therefore also

at the time when the temptations of the world and the flesh had somewhat

darkened his spiritual sight he could not live without prayer, and soon found

his Saviour again whom he had lost for a while.

He had a very low view of

himself and knowing the plague of his heart full well, he was in a high de-

gree watchful over his soul.

Sometimes his mental struggles were of the se-

verest kind and, without his as well as our knowledge, probably for months ag-

gravated by the effects of the secret workings of the disease, lurking in him,

but long resisted by his strong constitution.

For about a year he had labored

with unabated zeal and apparently unimpaired health, when a succession of

colds with fever and cough and at last a severe inflammation of the lungs be-

gan visibly to weaken him. However he soon appeared to have got over this

attack and a season of true happiness followed it, in the prospect of meeting his

intended wife who was coming out to him from Germany. Though there were

some misgivings about the state of his health at the time he went to Mangalore

to meet her, he married in faith and neither he nor his partner ever afterwards

regretted the step they had taken, for he had found the most suitable helpmate,

who by the Lord’s wondertul providence appeared specially prepared for the

lot awaiting her and was at once ready to share with him every joy and every

pain the Lord might send. No sooner had dear Br. Wiirtele returned to his

post, for which he seemed now extremely well fitted, than the dreaded disease

of pulmonary consumption developed itself with all its characteristic features,

although for a long time he enjoyed every advantage of climate and the kindest

attention and care of our dear medical friend Dr. Leslie at Coonoor.

One thing

was very remarkable in his case, that, unlike other patients of his class, he was

at once perfectly conscious of the state he was in, but instead of being alarmed

at it he, a8 a true believer, immediately set to work to study the art of dying,

at the same time leaving it entirely in God’s hands, how long a time of suffer-

ing he would see needful for him. Although his voice failed him from the first,

he was still usefully employed with his pen and labored often in great weak-

64

ness as long as it was day for him, hut his chief concern was,"to get ready to

meet his God and to prepare his beloved wife, who naturally was long hoping

against hope, for the great impending change.

Though prevented from preach-

ing the blessed Gospel himself, he was until a little more than a month within

bis death most regular in attending the Canarese services at Kaity and took

delight in serving the Church as areal priest by interceding prayer in his closet

and as a true Levite by playing the harmonium during service.

His faith

which had been for years rather of a legal description, gyrew more and more

simple, hig naturally harsh temper became visibly milder, his conversation,

short as it was, more and more spiritual and precious, and his prayers for

those few who had the privilege of hearing them most touching and ‘childlike

and full of that fervency and heavenly unction which cannot be described.

In

proportion as he grew weaker, he withdrew from his wonted quiet occupations,

but to chase away idleness from his mind, he read for months nothing but his

Greek New Testament and seemed to feed upon, to digest and torelish the words

of life more than he had ever done before.

One little sentence as this: “He

that hath the Son hath life” etc. would feed his soul for a long time and bright-

én his countenance, when it was repeated to him.

As his hearing had become

very bad, any lengthened intercourse withhim was very difficult. His own

sentences were short, concise and weighty, as spoken by one whose eyes are

fixed on the eternal things of God.

Though utterly unable to be active him-

self, he continued to live with and for the Mission and to take the deepestinter-

est in all particulars, especially the welfare of those upon whom he could look

with confidence as living members of Christ’s body. And for those still with-

out he pleaded with increasing earnestness and ardour. . Toward the close of

his career, as far as pain and the weakness of the body permitted, he was al-

most constantly in prayer and was often overheard pouring out his soul in

broken sentences addressed to his loving Saviour, the sense of whose infinite

love and grace often hecame overwhelming to him. Jesus’ love to sinners fill-

ed his heart so completely, that even when reduced to a skeleton and knowing

that he had only a few more days to live he used to pray: “Lord Jesus, grant

me only a few years more, here or anywhere else, that I may say how loving

He at

thou art, what thy Grace is, what a poor sinner finds in Thee” etc

times said, he could not describe the Peace he enjoyed, it was “great peace,

full peace, perfect peace.” A friend, who took hislast leave of him, he assured,

that he felt his heart as it were quite empty and yet full, filled with Grace.

Grace was his favorite theme and another of his expressions was, that the fact

of his lying in bed then was much less certain to him than the reality of Grace.

The most intense bodily suffering, of which he had to bear an unusual meas-

ure, could not make him murmur, but merely served as a means of gratifying

his hope, that he would soon be released and of deepening his already strong

desire, to be with Him who first loved him. He was not disappointed. 'The

65

release came sooner, than he had ventured to expect. He died rather suddenly

on the 2d of February 1863. His peaceful end is another most edifying proof

of the truth of the word: ¥Jesus, having loved his own which were in the world,

loved them unto the end.” (John XIII 1).

Conclusion

We conclude with a few remarks concerning the operations of our

Society in other countries and its present financial position.

Not only India, as stated at the beginning of this Report, but also

other fields of the Basel Mission have received considerable reinforce-

ments during the year 1862.

Four Brethren and two Sisters were

sent to Western Africa and two Brethren to China.

Moreover one

brother entered the service of the Bremen Missionary Society and five

were sent to North America as pastors of German congregations es-

tablished there; in the like manner two brethren went to Brazil which

has of late afforded a mnew field for the activity of our Society, the

pressing solicitations of the Swiss Consul and the benevolent offers of

the Brazilian Government having induced our Committee to send a

number of pastors, evangelists, and missionaries, to evangelize the nu-

merous German colonists of that empire.

Finally one brother has

found his destination in Australia, so that all together 20 Brethren

and 8 Sisters have gone out from the Basel Mission House to do the

Lord’s work in different countries of the world.

E

Next to India our African Mission, as may be seen from the Cen-

{

sus, is the most extensive and important field, it contains six stations,

in charge of 24 male and 15 female missionaries with 23 catechists

)

and native teachers, 656 church-members and 90 catechumens; al-

together 910 persons are more or less directly brought under the

influence of the mission.

The year under review may be said to bave

been full of severe trials, but more especially was the hand of the Lord

heavy upon us by thedire visitation of an earthquake at Christiansborg

g

on the 10th of July 1862 which rent the walls of our chapel as well

16

P

as of three other mission houses from top to bottom and damaged all buil-

dings more or less

Though we may be thankful that no lives were

lost on that awful and never-to-be-forgotten day, yet the needful re-

pairs and new buildings must seriously affect the finances of our So-

ciety, exhausted as they were before

Our Friendswill pardon us if

we venture to make the most earnest solicitations on this behalf, lay-

ing before them the following financial statement.

The Receipts of the Basel Society during the last fi-

nancial year were these:

1. Donations from auxiliary societies Rs.

94,423

2. Donations of Friends

61,956

20k

3. Halfpenny collections

4, Sundry reimbursements .

Rs

265,006

Under the second head are included the

Contributions from India, viz

Subscriptions, donations and grants Rs. 10,921

Contributions of Native congregations

The Expenditure is represented by thefollowing figures

Rs. 279,288

Thus the gross income of the Basel Evangelical Mis-

sionary Society amounted to Rs. 265,006 and the ex-

penditure to Rs. 279,288, leaving a deficit of Rs. 14,282

P

67

in addition to last year’s deficit which was Rs. 62,361.

Nor is this all. The Active Fund which according to the

statutes of our Society ought always to have a certain

sum in ready cash for carrying on the work, has been

exhausted to the amount of Rs. 45,346 and we have the

unpleasant task to declare that our Total Deficit is not

less than Rs. 121,989 or francs 311,074 as exhibited in

the last Report of our Home Committee.

For many years past it has been our custom to con-

clude our Reports with a grateful acknowledgment of

the support our mission derives from the contributions

of our Indian friends, and with a renewed appeal soli-

citing the continuation of their liberality, upon which

we always depend for the supply of a considerable share

of the yearly income of our Western India Mission. The

Lord be praised, we have never yet appealed in vain to

the sympathy of our English Christian Brethren.

However this year we are obliged to put forth an

éxtraordinary appeal to the friends of Missions, such as

we did in the year 1848, which by the blessing of the

Lord upon it was responded to beyond all our expecta-

tions. It was the season of great scarcity in Germany

and Switzerland, as well as the political commotions in

those days which called forth that appeal. Now there

are principally three reasons, why we feel ourselves un-

der the necessity of making a special appeal for a lar-

ger benevolence and an increased liberality of our Friends

in behalf of the Basel Mission, which unless powerfully

sustained during the present pressure may suffer a serious

9 %

B —

check, perhaps a defeat never to be repaired. The rea-

sons are these:

1. By the extension of our work in India, Africa, and

China and the growing expenditure oceasioned thereby,

to which the yearly diminution of our Indian contribu-

tions forms a sad contrast, our Committee have been bur-

dened—as stated above—with an enormous debt, the

liquidation of which has for the last two years taxed

their faith and patience to the utmost. We, their agents,

should be found wanting in our duty if we failed to so-

licit the special assistance of our Friends in India.

2. Our Invalids who after many years of faithful la-

bor have by failing health been obliged to leave their

work to others, are still thrown upon the resources of

the Society, and consequently their support forms an

item of our expenditure which is comparatively new to

us and yet unavoidably becoming heavier every year.

3. Our third reason we consider the strongest of all as

being one that must come home to the heart of every

disciple of Christ. It is shortly this:

Oar friends know, that we have reduced our person-

al expenditure to the lowest point possible, as far as

it is compatible with respectability and the demands of

the climate. But we feel it our duty to use our utmost

endeavours to obviate the breaking up of any part of the

Mission now established and working, and to prevent a

retreat from any position, taken up in the progress of

our work. We confess that we believe it to be the inter-

est of every real friend of Missions, to help us in pre-

e

69

venting such a necessity, and to do what lies in him, to

enable us to fight the Lord’s battles and in His name to

gain victories the results of which are the common good

of all Christians.—The Lord grant, that our hopes and

prayers may be fulfilled to the good of His Church and

to the glory of His blessed name! Amen.
