The Lord has made known his salvation, Ed his righteousness has he openly showed in the sight of the heathen. He bas remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the sal- vation of our God. Yea blessed be the Lord for all he has done amongst us during the past year, for all his loving kindness and assistance given unto his 156 servants, for all his longsuffering and patience with which he has borne their shortcomings and sins, for all the blessings he has bestowed upon their work, It is His mercy alone, by which the young plants of our congregations have been preserved and increased, and another year has been granted unto us to proclaim to many heathen the blessed message of salvation. Yet in looking at the visible results of the labours of the past year, we cannot say they are such as the longing heart would wish; the progress of our work has not been such a one as would also strike the eyes of the unbeliever. But we know by faith, that the work of faith is not done in vain and that, what has been sown in the name of the Lord will undoubtedly bring forth glorious fruits. The promise of God though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come and not tarry. Hab. II. On the other hand it cannot be denied, that there is a certain standstill in the work of the mission experienced all over India by almost all the Mission Socicties, and it would perhaps be not out of place to enquire into the causes of this common experience. 9% 12 s Now we think we are not mistaken if we say, that first of all the goth in stc cause of this slow progress will be found in ourselves, in the agents of the mission and their supporters. We mean in our want of earnestness comn Whil and singleness of heart. Just because the results are not such as we close would wish or expect, oftentimes weariness creeps in, zeal slackens prayer and intercession grow feeble. 0, we want especially at such a much time to look away from our own weakness and from our own work up (hris to our great head, the author and finisher of our faith. Besides this there are some secondary causes to retard as it seems rema the progress of the kingdom of God. Formerly many of the heathen alrea were moved to join the Christians though not by purely selfish and Besi For secular motives, yet by others than the salvation of their souls. spok instance many were brought to the Mission by their desire after a better much and purer knowledge than their heathen teachers could give them, and ) By this knowledge they could only obtain in the mission schools. fo les others undefined expectations of bettering themselves were mixed up healt with religious motives, the more so as the natives could never be per- of th suaded that the missionaries have no connection with the Government begy nor any real influence, in or But now the desire after knowledge is partly satisfied by Govern- have ment schools and the examinations for Government offices occupy nearly M, exclusively the minds of the more educated youth. The many and ey great changes introduced by Government in the administration of India by have given the mind of the people another direction. Ul On the other side the real purposes of the missionaries, the purely “the spiritual object of their preaching and teaching is now more generally “o understood; expectations of a worldly character have not been realized. Therefore if one now resolves to join the mission he has to count the tria] cost. At the same time the supporters of the old heathenish systems box are now more alive to the danger awaiting them by the spread of the hth Gospel and they are better prepared to fight against its influence. The tegt, strong one watches his house more carefully since he is aware of the dilapidated state of his fortress But we have no reason at all to be discouraged or sorry about this ﬂle ; state of things. Just the humiliations and trials which we have to teng 13 — Il the go through by the will of the Lord are signs that he has new blessings ts of in store for us. If the heathen are no longer brought into christian shness communion by secondary motives we may expect more real conversions. a§ We While under the altered circumstances the word of God is brought okens closer to the hearts of the heathen, we may well wait longer for that ich 4 much desired ends the fulness of the heathen entering the doors of tk up Christ’s sheepfold. In looking especially to the state of our own mission, we have to Jeems remark that the want of agents for our necessary work severely felt athen already during the previous year-has continued and rather increased. ) and Besides the loss of our dear brethren Miiller and Ammann already For spoken of in the report of the last year the efficiency of our staff was etfer much reduced by the protracted illness of Mr. Metz and Mr. Moerike, , anl in consequence of which the latter found himself directed by the Lord By to leave his cherished work and dear flock to seek restoration of his L up health in Europe.* At the same time, when Mr. Finckh, the principal ]er: of the Seminary, had expressed his desire to return to Europe by, the ment beginning of this year, Mr. Graeter had to come down from Palghaut in order to fill up the vacancy. It can hardly be said, that these losses rern- have been made up by the return of Mr. Roth and the arrival of eatly Mr. Roeck. At the anniversary of Basel itself our Committee consi- and dered it necessary to state in public that 4the present number of agents [ndia “working in our Indian Mission is scarcely capable to carry on effi- “ciently the existing work, much less to prosecute and extend it among irely “the heathen. Still the pressure upon our finances did not allow us rally “to satisfy these most crying wants.” lized. Our congregations too had to go through many and not ordinary f the trials; at ome Station cholera and famine, at others typhus or small- fems pox or great distress in consequence of the rise of all prices put the f the faith and patience of our native brethren and their pastors to a severe The test. But also these afflictions we take to be God’s loving visitations f the *In these as well as in other cases of sickness we have been favoured with t this the very kind assistance of several Medical Gentlemen, to whom we would here e 10 “‘tender our heartfelt thanks, 14 — e with although many heathen otherwise willing have been prevented from joining the Christians on account of these heavy trials. safe ¢ The numbers of our congregations have not increased considerably. after The unusual mortality amongst our Christians and the small number his g of heathen baptisms are the cause why our census list shows only an had | increase of 131; the number of catechumeni too.is comparatively depa small. Yet the congregations have by these very afflictions and trials of ou been more closely united, deeper rooted in faith and inwardly more of 8¢ established. And our christian schools are now in a more prosperous state than ever. char Our Society completes in Octob;r next the 50th year of its exist- Pl ence and our Committee intend to celebrate this as the year of jubilee. As Scho to how our Committee propose to have the jubilee celebrated we allow who ourselves to add a few words at the close of the report. fomyp val ¢ chan I. CANARA. latte S6ek than Already in the report of the last year we mentioned the transfer EurF of Mr. Mack to Hubly. In May the Lord called another of our fellow- labourers unexpectedly to his heavenly rest. Mrs. Kittel, after a stay yea in the missionfield of only 4 years apparently in the vigour of health Esiox and strength and in the midst of her blessed work was taken ill by Iny typhus fever. Either herself or those arround her were scarcely of § aware of the dangerous character of the disease, when her end was at Titng hand and the Lord took her away from her dear husband and her be- the loved little ones. Mr. Albrecht, who had reopened the station of thin Honore and laboured there for 3 years under many difficulties, felt fog himself so much suffering by the climate of the coast, that his removal Siony to a country more congenial to his constitution was thought necessary. Hon In consequence of his transfer to Dharwar the Station of Honore, for DPro which no other missionary could be spared, had again to be abandoned. i With the beginning of this present year Mr. Finckh also, who had conducted the Seminary for native assistants for 6 years, left India lng l‘Ope 15 e from with his family for Europe. But just when we expected to hear of his safe arrival at home we were startled by the distressing news, that he, Dy, after a sicknes of only two days, was suddenly taken away and found mbey his grave at Corfu. When he was aware of his approaching end, he y an had grace from the Lord to commit himself entirely into his will and ively depart in full confidence in his saviour. How wonderful are the ways trialg of our God, quite different indeed from our own, yet his ways are ways more of salvation and glory. AYUIL] In consequence of Mr. Finckh’s departure Mr. Burkhardt took charge of the institution as principal and Mr. Graeter was called from st Palghaut, where he had to leave his cherished work at the English- , As School, which just began to prosper most hopefully, Mr. and Mrs. Stokes, llow who were constantly ailing in the South Mahrattha District, were temporarily transferred to Udapi. Lastly we may mention the arri- val of Mr. Th. Digel in the beginning of this year, who is to take charge of our weaving establishment in the place of Mr. Haller. The latter after 14 years of indefatiguable and successful labour wishes to seek a climate cooler and more suitable for the European constitution than that of the coast, as he has made up his mind not to return to sfer Europe, but to spend his life in India. low In this district of our mission field as well as in the two others i oy yearly synodal meetings are held, in which at the first day the mis- alth sionaries communicate to each other their experiences and consider \] by important subjects concerning their work; onthe second day the elders cely of the congregations join them in conference to speak about the spi- aﬁt ritual state and the wants of the several churches and deliberate upon he the furtherance of God’s cause in and through the churches; on the uof third day all christians of the district willing and able to attend gather felt to a missionary meeting, where short addresses are delivered by mis- val sionaries and catechists as well as by other members of the congrega- 1y tions. The last meeting took place in the month of September and for proved again a source of manifold blessings, in bringing before our ned eyes the state of our whole work, showing our shortcomings, strengthen- hho ing our faith and renewing amongst all the christian brethren, Eu- ropeans and natives, the union in the Spirit. One of the chief sub- i e 16 sects brought before the meetings was and will henceforth be #ke selfsup- port of the congregations, the importance of which matter also our Rey native brethren fully understand and begin to carry out as far as their Rey very limited means will allow. The preaching to the heathen has also this year been prosecuted partly Rev by the Brethren Bithrer and Kaundinya especially devoted to this work, Rev partly by the other missionaries as far as their other duties would al- M low, usually accompanied by Catechists, Colporteurs or pupils of the t Seminary. Thus the sound of the Gospel has again and again been heard by thousands gathered at heathen festivals, as for instance Gokarna, My Subramanya, Perdur, Vitla etc.; and what is of more lasting effect, the Salvation in Jesus has been testified to many people of all classes in K their own houses.

Two of the most important means for the spread of the Gos- pel and christian knowledge among Christians and heathen are in opera- tion at Mangalore: the Seminary for preparing our native agents and the Printing Press. The latter has begun last year to print also Malayalim books. The Seminary is undoubtedly one of our most im- portant institutions, and the progress of our whole mission-work depends in a good part from the success of this school in furnishing us with well prepared and able assistants. The sghool received in its IId class for *The figures after the names of Missionaries show their date of active service.

The older pupils also accompanied missionaries or catechists on their itinerary mission-work and took part in preaching to the heathen a0 in the bazaars. We have much reason to praise the Lord for the blessings vouchsafed to this school, The instruction was continued throughout the year with scarcely any interruption and the pupils conducted themselves irreproachably as far as human eyes can see. Yet we would ask the prayers of our friends especially for this important institution, that the Lord may prepare for himself in this school his chosen vessels to bear his name amongst the heathen and to assist in building up the church of Christ. b From the Middle School under Mr. Miiller’s superintendence, who is assisted by three native teachers, the eldest class after having finished f their course of studies left in February, four of the scholars entered the Seminary ; the three remaining who were not able to prosecute a higher course of studies, yet willing and fit to serve the Lord, are to find their sphere of labour as teachers and catechists of alower grade. Though in the Middle School some interruptions in the studies were caused by theillness of Mr. Miiller and of many of the pupils, the grace % of the Lord has visibly been in this branch of our work. On the whole the boys have been found industrious and obedient. It is hardly neces- sary to say that the real object of this institution can only be obtained by the boys if at the same time growing in grace and in the fear of God. The Congregation, containing more than 400 Communicants, has now reached that state, when they must think for supporting their teachers and ministers by their own means. With a view to accom- plish this object a churchfund has long been established by the founders 19 S S Lelli of the congregation partly with the liberal help of a christian friend ntral formerly at Mangalore and some gifts of our Committee, partly by the class contributions of the church-members. This fund has now so far 1 his advanced that with continued contributions of the Christians themselves a considerable share of the expenses in school and church can be de- frayed by it. This year the expenses of the two parish schools, which hitherto were borne by the mission-fund, have been taken overby the it churchfund besides the current expenses of the church, the whole amounting to about Rs. 700. 00 The support of their poor is entirely borné by the congregation, the hen account of last year shows the ned an income out of the poor fund of Rs. contributions of the congregation . 23 10 pils {77 Total 453 10 it Rs 411 810 the expenses amounted to his m To give a more efficient help in cases of need and to increase the means of defraying the expenses of the church, the Christians have begun to raise a voluntary tax amongst themselves and have thus in o el fact constituted themselves into a kind of mutual help-in-need society. el For direct mission purposes Rs. 122-0-6 were contributed last year, of which sum Rs. 87 were offered at the missionary meeting held in ] September last. In order to awaken the congregation to a real spiri- o tual life and walk, and to unite the missionaries and native christians to a closer union in spirit, weekly prayer-meetings have been reesta- 06 blished in different parts of the congregation under the guidance of the le missionaries or catechists. Having a goodly number of youths uncon- nected with the families of the congregation, it was found necessary and useful to gather them in one house under the superintendence of a worthy christian man, For the benefit of all the elder boys an evening school twice a week has been established under the management of b four of the missionaries, in which the elements of reading, writing, casting accounts, singing and a little English has been taught besides reading the word of God and prayer. 3% 20 Eleven adults have been added to the congregation from among the heathen. About the Weaving Establishment it is not necessary to say much. The apprehensions we had for this establishment in consequence of the cotton famine by which a great number of weavers in other parts of India have been cast out of work and fallen in distress, the Lord graciously dispersed. The weaving shop was never more prosperous and less able to execute all the orders coming in than during the past year. Between 60 and 70 persons were employed and two times their number could easily get work. Our Press too is now in full operation and great has been the help rendered by it in spreading sound knowledge in the form of schoolbooks and above all by the publication of healthy christian tracts and parts of the books of the Bible.

The sale of books if compared with the state- B ment of the last year shows a considerable inerease, though we are still in the first stages of selling and buying books and an interest for reading books is scarcely beginning to be awakened among the people.

Most of the former could not be baptized without a longer time of probation, because the brethren were not quite sure of the reality of their profession. But afterwards they were convinced of a work of the Lord having indeed begun in these poor souls, which he will surely carry on and finish. The Christians of this Station are for the greater part very poor and deeply sunk into debts, and they therefore require the more to work and pray, trusting in Him who alone can help and who indeed has not n forsaken them hitherto. th In a peculiar manner the Lord showed his saving and protecting power to his people when at a time when the ravages of cholera and fim smallpox carried away numbers of people at and around Mulky, none of thy the Christians was attacked by either of the dreadful scourges. for The Girls’ Institution, containing 63 pupils, was also graciously fi preserved from severer diseases. The school-work has been carried on of in like manner as in former years under the superintendence of the Mr. and Mrs. Brigel. Cor The Outstation Utchila under the charge of Mr. Maenner was visited the regularly twice a week and made his abode by him for a good part of log 23 —_— the year for the purpose of instructing the Catechumeni and of labour- ring amongst the heathen in the neighbourhood. The preaching of the Gospel has been carried on regularly on the Bazaar at Mulki and the heathen festivals in the vicinity, at Perdur, Udapi, Suda, Tibur have been visited by the brethren in the company of the Catechists and other Christians.

In consequence of this disease the orphanage had to be closed for a ting time and the children sent to their respective Stations. From amongst and 16 Of the boys no one was carried away by the disease, though many suffered for a considerable time. Out of the other Christians some died. These times of afflictions in the congregation have proved to be also times sly 1 on of sifting. For while some bore their trials with patience and putting , of their cares on Him who cares for us, others took offence at what they considered a want of love and selfsacrifice in those of whom they ited thought they had a right to expect other things. One family for inst. lost all courage and went back to the heathen. It was not a little ¢ of S D S in 8 disheartening to the missionaries to make such experiences, but they 1 have no reason to despair, knowing that the Lord and his Spirit will The have the victory in spite of all human weakness, unbelief and hard by | heartedness. har As a sign of the Lord’s presence we rejoice to relate that he has unexpectedly opened a door in another direction. gor 4 “Some eight miles to the South East of Udapi a family consisting of 3 £ brothers and their old mother had resolved to give up their former demon wor- th spip and to become followers of Christ. In consequence of this resolution their Yet the In wives went away to their relations, taking their children with them. men were stedfast ; the small temple of the demon (Bhuta) was emptied of its all implements and served afterwards as a temporary dwelling-place to the visiting 1oy missionary. But in this case also the Lord was pleased to lead these poor peo- th ple in a way they did not expect. The head of the family who was their head fo in every respect, fell sick with smallpox. This was a severe trial for these igno- lea rant and weak people. “Why,”they asked, “we have resolved to serve the true God, we alone in the village, and such afflictions come just upon us. People say, now you are justly punished for forsaking the sacred customs of your an- cestors; is that true?” On the other hand the sick man, seeing the danger that he most likely would not recover, confessed that he had greatly sinned against the Lord and be in need of the remission of sins, he prayed to Jesus to wash him with his precious blood and desired to be baptized in his name. The old mother often requested the young missionary with tears: “O son! restore my child unto me!” On the responce: “mother, that is not in my power, it is in God’s hand, call on him” she said: “Yes, I pray to Jesus, him only I want, but ah! he must not die, what would become of us, we are quite alone in the village going this new way, ah, the good man must not die!"” Thus the conflict between the old heathenish darkness and the new glimmering light was going om. Yet the disease increased, all hope passed away and the dying man was baptized on the 29th of January 1864. This was a heavy blow for the family ; they lost their head doubly and as they afterwards confessed to the missionary soon after the death of their brother, they had taken it seriously into conside- ration, whether they ought not to return to the heathen, believing, as they did, { they could not live as Christians without their deceased elder brother; but a Mohamedan earnestly warned and dissuaded them from taking such a step. After the trial was over, the Lord who had wounded, began to make his face shine again upon the afflicted and to make his refreshing mercy known unto them. A few months afterwards the wife of one of the Catechumeni joined her husband with her two children and attended the christian instruction and 25 they in September another family of the same village, related to the former, gave il up demon-worship and 6 persons desired to be instructed in the ways of truth.

Although the singlehanded Mr. Kauffmann used every spare time to go out to the heathen and to preach regularly at the weekly fair at Virajendra- pett, as well as visiting the larger festivals in the vicinity, his time was too much occupied with the care of the Christians at Anandapur and at Mercara. As long as the state of the funds at our disposal do not enable us to place a second missionary in the country, not much of greater results can be expected. Yet it is not a small thing to see the little congregation at Anandapur grow in knowledge and steadiness 0 and to have the young generation educated in the fear and nurture of the Lord. The building of a Church, the necessity of which was mentioned fi in our last report, may with God’s help begin after the monsoon. The : appeal made by Mr. Kauffmann on behalf of this work was responded to ) in such a liberal manner, the Mysore Government also granting Rs. 1000 for the purpose, that the sum thought necessary is either at hand or promised. There remains now for us to express our sincere thanks to all who assisted in this good work by which the Europeans living in the vicinity will be benefited as well as the native Christians. HONORE AND SIRCY. It has been mentioned already for what reason we were obliged again to abandon this Station. God grant that the vacation may not last long. And even now we hope to be enabled to have the town and country of Honore visited by our itinerary missionaries and the work begun there in many souls refreshed, until this Station may again and permanently be occupied by one or two labourers. 27 1eh b to I3 me II. SOUTHERN MAHRATTA ;JOUNTRY. iy do 1ch 506 It has been mentioned already last year, that Mrs. Wiirth was 58 of compelled by failing health to leave for Europe in March. After her departure Mr. and Mrs. Stokes took full charge of the Girls’ Insti- od tution, but they also by repeated attacks of fever and other ailings were often prevented from work and as soonas Mr. Roth returned from he Europe with his partner, to enter his former duties at Bettigherry, fo )0 Mr. Stokes left for Udapi on the coast. )1 In April Mr. Mack was called to Hubly to fill up the vacancy left (8 by the death of Mr. Miiller and to open a Middle-School for the edu- 1 cation of native assistants. © After his arrival Mr. Wenger returned to his own Station at Dharwar from whence he set out for the Hills to change places with Mr. Krauss. In October Mr. Albrecht removed with his family from Honore to Dharwar where he had been formerly labouring eleven years ago. Though such frequent changes are in many respects to be deplored as a hindrance to a steady progress of our work, they are often un- | avoidable as long as sickness and death and other causes are telling upon the labourers in the mission field. The Missionaries in this district observed on the one hand a decided increasing desire after books, partly caused by growing wealth and the changes brought on by the cotton famine, but on the other hand they see also a preponderating desire after the things of this world and a still greater indifference concerning spiritual matters. We may here mention some instances of what the Missionaries experienced on their mission tours. When the brethren Wiirth and Kies after having brought their families to Bombay, had left the railway at Sholapoor, they were enabled 4% 28 the very next station this side of that town to preach in Canarese. The people of the village, just then met together to a prize-fighting, willingly heard the tvords of the strangers. The name of Jesus was not unknown to them, but they thought it impossible to live as a true disciple of Jesus. In another village the people were greatly amazed to hear Europeans speak their own tongue. They understood it well that their Gods are only imaginations of men, but they remarked: there must be something in the worship of our Gods, for why should otherwise Government have the landed property of their temples un- touched. Mr. Wiirth made another journey to Mulgund, south-west of Bettigherry. There a small hut has been erected for the shelter of the travelling missionary. Daily a number of people gathered there around Mr. Wiirth, who had given up gross idolatry as numbers have done in this part of India, but as they have not yet accepted the right compass, the Word of God, to guide them through the pathless sea of imaginations, they could not help falling upon rocks and quicksands such as intem- perance and lose morality of every sort. One of the men, who came there to Mr. Wiirth, appears indeed to be not far from the kingdom of heaven, About another mission tour Mr. Wiirth relates: «Scarcely had we entered Gadshandragada (North-East of Bettigherry), when a number of men assembled to dispute with us, but not with an ill will. On the evening a great crowd assembled and heard quietly for the greater part. At the same time the catechist read at another place a tract on the errors of Hindu religion and the truth as it is in Jesus. Thus the work could be conti- nued for 4 days at the end of which the people, to whom the catechist had read, were so much satisfied and rejoiced at his service done to them, that they presented him with a piece of cloth as a token of their regard and declared that many of their prejudices against Christianity had been removed, for in- stance, that in becoming Christians they must wear hat and trowsers and live according to Kuropean manners. In Shagoti there are since many years a number of people reading the Bible, keeping the Lord’s day and praying. Yet they would not renounce caste and publicly confess Christ. Lately however When we visited some of them were meditating upon taking a decisive step. them, they and many others came to the temple where we had our quarters, and listened to us quietly, In the presence of the idol we had a regular Sun- day service, prayers, reading of the Bible and sermon with these people. 29 —— DHARWAR.

(e The removal of Mr. Albrecht to Dharwar has not been caused by want 15, 18, of labourers at this Station but by the personal reason of the much impaired health of himself and family. Yet in consequence of this rein- gils forcement the brethren are now enabled to visit more regularly and to me 1 of a greater distance the villages around, and to proclaim there the tidings which are despised in the capital of the district. The Schools, both Anglo-Vernacular and Vernacular, labour under 1y il the great disadvantage that the heathen teachers leave their situations as soon as they can get a more lucrative employment somewhere else, atl 5 of and we are not yet able to replace them with competent christian tea- il chers. The number of pupils in the Anglo-Vernacular School has con- fiad siderably decreased, not so much because it is conducted by missionaries hey but because the parents find an English education unnecessary as they n',ed 10 can easily find other means to get the boys employed.

Last year to the out-station Unakallu another one, “Hebsoor,” some 15 miles distant from the head-station, has been added by the baptism of some converts living there and by stationing a worthy catechist among them to water the young plants and to carry the gospel farther on to the heathen. The removal of some of the most earnest christians from the congregation at Hubly itself partly by death partly by their being placed at out-stations, has weakened the inward spiritual strength of the congregation at the head-station. At the same time it has seemed good to the Lord of the Churches to lead this congregation into a trial of another kind, viz: the difficulty of getting their daily bread. One part of the congregation, the weavers, had already beenin great distress since several years and now as the usual rains failed, the peasants also }:] got scarcely in what they had sown and a real famine is lying heavily upon the land. Therefore, the brethren write, we cannot look forward to this coming year without great anxiety. Only in raising our eyes i up to our father in heaven who feeds also the birds though they neither sow mnor reap nor gather into barns, we have a good confidence and hope that He will not forsake us, because we are of more value in his eyes 4l than many sparrows. R S 31 In Unakallu our expectations about some inhabitants there, men- tioned in our last report, have not yet been realized. But three other residents of that village were brought to the Lord. One of them, a brother of the catechist stationed there, had twice before come to the missionaries resolving to stay with them, but twice his elder brother, still a heathen, had prevailed over him and brought him back. But now, when he saw himself without peace and rest, he took the final step and preferred the communion of Christ who had himself revealed unto him, to that of his brother. Of more importance was the event which took place at Hebsoor, the baptism of the firstfruits there on the 5th of June. This first The baptism was administered to two families consisting of 9 souls. two men Rama and Rajappa belonged to that peculiar religious sect already mentioned above. The votaries of this sect assert the doctrines about the hindoo gods and caste to be mere human inventions (though they are careful not openly to break with caste) and false. They pro- fess one common fraternity of all men, one single Godhead though not personal but pantheistic, to whom they feel bound to sacrifice all, body and soul and property. But these pantheistic notions are necessarily void of moral principles, because the spirit of man, which is considered to be one indivisibly with God, is neither responsible for, nor connected with, the doings of the body or the passions of the heart. Conse- quently these people have fallen not only in great mistakes butin deep immoralities, for instance, to prove that they have given up all and every thing unto the Deity, they have not hesitated to declare their wives the common property of the brotherhood and more especially of the Guru. By these practices one of the above mentioned converts had sunk deeply into the slough of impurities, out of which the almighty grace of God alone could save him. To be witnesses of this first baptism at Hebsoor, already the previous even- ing the majority of the male members of the Hubly church and some mission- aries had arrived there. In the morning the joy of the festival day was in danger of being disturbed by a strange rivalry of the two catechumeni as to which of them was to have the priority to regale the guests., This matter amicably settled, the service began at lo’clock and continued until 50’clock, as in connection with the baptismal service the opportunity was improved to 32 e On account of the have a missionary meeting in the midst of the heathen. heathen who gathered in great crowds, wé would have much preferred an open air meeting, but the strong wind, rising clouds of dust, forced us into the small chapel which, sufficiently great to accomodate not more than 60 hearers, was soon thronged by 175; others in great numbers had to stand outside. After the hymn was sung and prayer offered up, Mr. Huber addressed the assembly from the parable of the marriage of the king’s son and the wedding garment and pointed out that, as so many of those that were bidden, rejected the council of God concerning their salvation, the Lord calls the poor and the mamed and the halt and the blind that his house might be filled, but these must appear in their wedding garment.—After him Jonathan, the catechist at Unakallu, spoke about God, that he is light and in him is no darkness. Mr. T. Costa related how the children of God in Europe took so great an interest to see all heathen turned from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Simon, one of the elders of Hubly, praised the great love of God towards the sinners. Catechist Paul Nagappa spoke about Paul's sermon held at Athens and lastly Christian Chinappa, the newly appointed leader of this young church, addressed the assembly in a masterly and very impressive manner about the last com- mandment of the Lord: go ye therefore and teach all nations ete.

T —— of reaping and sowing: may the Lord give a blessed fruit. As it is usually the case, in this village also the beginning of the kingdom of God is very small and contemptible in the sight of the world. About this event the teacher of the Government School at Hubly wrote in a Mahratthi paper, that the Padre had on the 5th of June baptized a number of stupid shepherds. Now there is indeed nothing to boast of, but we rejoice in the conviction, that the Lord chooses things which are not, to make out of them something which no wis- dom of the wise men can understand and against which even the gates of the hell shall not prevail. In Hubly an Anglo-Vernacular-School has beenbegun by Mr. Mack. Besides 6 christian boys who are to be prepared for the work of teachers and assistants of the mission, only 11 heathen boys attend at present and these too very irregularly. The Vernacular-School in Hubly itself, until now in a prosperous condition under a well trained schoolmaster, is at present in danger of loosing its efficiency on account of the teacher leaving for a more lucrative employment. If such accidents in the heathen boys’ schools 33 —_——— are a constant source of trouble to the missionaries, they are the more glad to have one school of this kind giving them real satisfaction. The school at Unakallu, although the teacher is not a baptized christian, has almost the appearance and character of a christian school, whether we consider the teacher or the boys. The best convincing proof of this state of things is, that they have of their own accord begun to open and close the school with prayer, all the boys standing up with heads uncovered and hands folded. They generally use the Lord’s prayer. BETTIGHERRY. Rev. G. Wiirth (1845) Rev. W. Roth (1857) Rev. C. Brunner (1860).

Mr. Brunner had this year also charge over the building of the new mission premises, a work which, under the ruling high prices and the scarcity of labour on the spot, tried the patience of the builder in N0 common measure. It is perhaps interesting for many of our readers to see a table showing the difference of the prices ruling in the bazaars now, compared with former years, of the principal necessaries of life.

(;_)); - - 1! - - Vernacular School . ? 60 55 The past year has been a time of great trials and struggles for the little band of christans at this place. Asalready shortly mentioned in the former report, the congregation, by the mysterious dispensation of the Lord, has been bereft of two of its chief men, we could say in truth of two of its pillars, On the 23rd of February one of the first fruits of the congregation, the pious elder Déwapriya was called out of this world. But the congregation suffered a much more severe loss, when Shantappa, the chief support of the christians in spiritual as well as in temporal matters departed this life on the first of March. As the life of this dear christian brother was so closely connected with the whole history of the congregation, and as his death has become the cause of some discouraging commotions in it, it appears not cut of place to give a sketch of his life and of his last days. « Malkapypa, this was the former name of the departed brother, was horn at Gadak about 1820. He belonged to the caste of the Pattegarers or silkweavers. Secing that his father’s trade did not succeed well, the son removed to Guleda- gudda some 20 years ago and worked for a time with one of the chief manu- facturers, until his employer assisted him to begin a business of his own. In those days of ignorance the spirited youth was entirely bent upon following the lusts of the flesh, so much so, that his patron advised him to marry a second wife rather than to fall a victim to his sensual inclinations. About this time a change came over his mind by a moveme i+ iiu, which had begun among the workmen of his patron. A number of these people, desiring to find the truth, invited a famous Guru of the Kalagnani sect, and for a time every evening they But learned the sentences and the mysteries accepted by the Kalagnanis. when these mysteries were found such as instead of restraining allowed full liberty to every kind of concupiscence and lasciviousness, their better moral sense revolted against these unclean doctrines and they fell far from satisfied. In 5'35 e 36_ this time of longing after truth, by the Providence of God some christian tracts fell into their hands, the doctrine of resurrection contained in them caught their attention, and they at once sent a deputation to the missionaries stationed at Bettigherry. In consequence of this visit the missionaries were induced to g0 several times over to Guledagudda, and at last Mr. Kies took his fixed residence there. Yet when on the 29th July 1850 the 12 firstfruits of the town were baptized, young Malkappa was not one of their number. The reason was, that he was still labouring under many heavy debts incurred partly on account of his former loose habits, partly on account of his newly established business, and he intended at first to pay off his debts in order that nobody may question the sincerity of his motives. On the other hand he did not draw back, when persecution arose against the newly baptized brethren. The heathen not only considered them outcasts, but they dismissed them from their employment and interdicted everybody to give them work. But Malkappa, not in the least daunted, took them all under his employ. Now the enemies roused all his creditors, who first of all declared, they would no longer give him anything on credit, if he did not solemnly renounce every thought of becoming a christian. By these proceedings his eyes were opened; he plainly saw, now or never was the time for him to come to a final decision. Without wavering he, to the sur- prise of the missionary, came to the mission-house, declaring to risk his all for Christ’s sake, upon which in the presence of all he broke the holy thread, With this act that struggle with relations and former friends experienced by so many new converts began and continued for three days. Scarcely was this battle, decisive for all eternity, fought out, when another heavy trial began for him as well as for the whole little band of christians. The creditors began now in right earnest to demand their dues. To satisfy their most urgent claims, he was, to his own great sorrow, obliged to sell his newly erected house and it seemed as if the design of the enemies, to deprive the christians of their daily bread, had succeeded. But just at this time of need the hand of the Lord was not shortened. In a manner quite unlooked for, assistance came, English friends offered some money; through their help credit also was opened to him by Bombay merchants, and our home Committee were in the meantime enabled to offer their help and to have a workhouse built for the poor christians thrown out of employ. Thus the danger passed over. From that time Shantappa gradually rose in respect amongst his towns people, who more and more came to obtain his advice and counsel in domestic matters as well as in public affairs, which he did in such an excellent and impartial way, that without his seeking it he was honoured with a seat in the council of the town. His trade too flou- rished in a mauvner, that he was enabled to build a spacious house and at his death to leave not an inconsiderable property. His wisdom, and his affectionate disposition and his moderation were put to the test chiefly in his own house by the necessity of his having to see that his two wives should live in amity towards il each other and the relations on each side. In this, we are glad to say, Shantappa was by the blessing of God most suceessful. Although he was prevented from be- ing an elder of the congregation on account of his having two wives, he was the most faithful assistant of the missionary, the liberal host of the congregation, the openhanded supporter of the poor, the meek and unbiassed adviser of his erring brethren, At the beginning of the year he, with some other members of the congregation, went with the Brn. Wiirth and Kies to Bombay, to see the rail- road and the wonders of the famous seaport. On their return from Sholapoor he fell sick with fever, which by the fatigues of the journey increased so much, that full typhus fever developed itself. He spoke little, but when on the 29th of February Mr. Thumm asked him, how he felt in his mind, he expressed his full conviction of the faith he had hitherto confessed and an entire confidence in the grace and merits of Jesus Christ, and at last he gave his children up to the care of their father in heaven and to the guardianship of the missionaries. These were his last words, he soon became unconscious and did not even recog- nize his much beloved teacher Mr. Kies, who had hastened to his dyingbed from Bagelkote. The more dangerous the disease apparently grew, the more numerous the neighbours, friends and even headmen of the town came to his house to ask with unfeigned concern after the state of his health. When on the 1st of March at 20’clock a visible change for the worse took place and Mr. Kies knelt down to commend the departing spirit to his Saviour, the rela- tions burst forth into a heart rending wail, which was renewed with increased force, when he had breathed his last. -The Funeral was attended by so many heathen and Mahomedans, that the missionaries had their apprehensions about disorders during the funeral service. But all went on in good order and the whole assembly was so much moved by the event, that the words of seripture and the prayers spoken near the grave made a deep impression. Many heathen attended also the funeral sermon afterwards held in the chapel, and some were even moved to tears. The effects of this loss were deeply felt throughout the year. Not ounly the heathen relations of the deceased tried every means to draw the weak survivers back to their old communion in order to rob them of the property left by Shantappa; but even some discontented members of the congregation, who were unwilling to bear the discipline of the church, but had been hitherto re- strained by the powerful influence of Shantappa, took advantage of the state of things, stirred up the family of the deceased against the missionaries and plotted together, to bring disgrace upon the most honourable member and elder of the congregation and to draw after them, if possible, the bulk of the church mem- bers meditating to secede from the mission, This wicked plan however was frustrated through the Lord’s grace by the interposition of some heathen friends of Shantappé,. Yet we have been much cast down by this melancholy occurrence. 38 e III. MALABAR,. The number of European labourers in this district, already much reduced at the openiug of the year, has, we are sorry to say, not yet T R — been filled up; yea it was rather still more reduced. It is true, the growing congregation at Codakal has at last got its ordained pastor, Mr. Roek, who arrived in September last. Likewise the Boarding ; School at Calicut has got its assistant Superintendent, Mrs. Schauffler. But on the other hand Mr. Graeter was called away to Mangalore to fill up the place of Mr. Finckh, in consequence of which the continuance of the English School at Palghaut became doubtful. At the same time the connection with Messrs. Ch. and A. F. Schlunk has been dissolved. The rather complicated management of the mission-and church-property in this district had to be undertaken by Mr. Schaufiler. Mr. Schoch was prevented by a protracted illness to attend to his work for the greater part of the year. And Mr. Lauffer too was compelled to seek restoration of his failing health on the Nilagiris. For different reasons a change of stations was thought desirable between the brethren Miiller at Cannanore and Hanhart at Tellicherry, and between the brethren Bosshardt at Codakal and Schmidli at Chowa (Cannanore) respectively. It need not be pointed out, how heavily the burden of the work pressed upon this reduced number of our brethren, who were obliged to attend above all to keep the existing work agoing, and of course could not think of extending it. These circumstances, viz. the paucity of our active labourers and the financial embarassments of our Society, on account of which the required reinforcements with increased expenses could not be supplied, were the cause of the order of our Committee in conscquence of which nearly all the schools conducted by heathen teachers were given up. 59 e This seemingly sweeping measure of our Committee, by which 23 schools mostly in Malabar were at once struck off, did however not reach so far in its results, as had been feared. Many of the schools were continued by the schoolmasters without further assistance of the mission, and these not only allow the missionaries free access to their schools, but they desired it expressly. Other schools have been kept on by private means. On the whole there are many signs which show a decided change taking place in the minds of the heathen near our Stations, which gives us reason to hope, that in a short time the heathen will be not unwilling to send their children to christian teachers. The Lord grant, that these schools may soon be re-established on a more efficient and more promising basis than before. When their duties in the schools were so much lessened, the mis- sionaries had the more time to devote their strength to the direct pro- clamation of the Gospel which they did by regular preaching on the Bazaars as well as by more or less extensive mission tours. This year also the more important heathen festivals at Payawoor, Kiloor, Coilandy, Cadumbu etc. were visited by missionaries and catechists and the tidings of Salvation proclaimed. To give some insight in the joys and trials experienced on such occasions, we subjoin a few extracts from the reports. Mr. Aldinger writes about his visit to Taliparambu: It is well known what struggles and sufferings dear Hebich and his cate- chists had to undergo at this place, where their addresses were not seldom ans- wered with stones flying at their heads. They used to prepare themselves for the coming battle the day previous to their preaching with prayers until mid- night, yet they could not venture out into the multitude without fear and trem- bling. Now all is changed, one has not to fear anything. We may go in the very midst of the crowds without any fear of being annoyed. The same cate- chists, who in former days as often as they had to face the erowds, could hardly get over the trembling of their knees except by beginning to preach, now step forward with such a boldness, that one rather has apprehensions, whether they may not go too far in their attacks. What may he the cause of this change? There are still angry faces and awful mockers, but it is no longer their time, no longer the hour of darkness., In the mornings and evenings we had always quiet hearers. Still more striking is the visible decrease of the votaries to the shrine, which year by year is becoming more apparent. According to the 40 o LT testimony of visitors themselves, merely a fifth of former gatherings is now to be seen. Another proof of a growing indifference towards their gods is, that now Europeans and Christians are not prevented from going and standing at places, to which in former years their very approach was considered desecrating. During the festival or fair at Keilur Mr. Schauffler and his companions did not meet with as much encouragement as the brothren at Taliparambu, but even here the Lord was visibly on their side. After the missionary with the catechists had preached for two days and experienced increasing opposition, on the third day the multitude, stirred up by the Nayers, raised a fearful howl- ing to silence the preachers; at last a Nayer, who had formerly often heard the Gospel, stept forward with the expression on his face, you are all blockheads, I will soon silence them., Andnow with a fluency of the tongue Inever heard before, he began to oppose us. Burning with rage he called us big liars, our words lies and the Lord Jesus likewise a liar ete. “Believe, believe, you say always, he cried, well, show your faith, here before our eyes let a sign be done in the sky, let a carriage come down from heaven to take you up.” In such a manner he cried and caused the howling to increase so, that we could no more conti- nue. Almost vanquished and cast down we returned with sorrowing hearts. That night in company and singly in private we strove with the Lord in prayer: we pleaded his promises and entreated him to endue us with power of his Spirit. When we next morning stood again on our place to preach, we observed the same Nayer approaching. My heart ached and I called inwardly upon the Lord: O, dear Saviour, shut the mouth of this adversary.” One of the cate- chists went to him and begged himn not to disturb us again, and lo! the man answered : I did not come to quarrel but to hear, and this he did very attentively. Yea when we went over to another place to preach, there also the same man stood listening in silence and the same he did at a third place. We looked at each other joyfully astonished —yes indeed the Lord hears prayer, Hallelujah! 41 CANNANORE. it t Rev. G. Hanhart (1857) Rev. 8. Gundert (1863) Mr. J. Bosshardt (1856) Mzr. 8.

On the other hand those that were received from among the heathen were not more than three persons. This state of things is lying heavily upon us; it is a day of small things and we must fer- vently pray, that the Lord will send us a time of refreshment from his counfenance. Yet we have many proofs, thatthe Lord has not forsaken us, wherby we may hope, that also the rain of God’s grace will not be withheld from wus in this time of barrenness. In the out-station Chirakal since four years the homeless widows of the district had been gathered; those able to work were employed in different ways, and all of them received more or less some support from the mission funds. But lately. our Committee resolved to make over the care of these widows to their respective congregations, grant- ing as a fund for their support the sum of Rs. 3000 once for all. This 6 42 —_—— grant, though handsome in itself, is, as will be easily perceived by our friends, quite insufficient as a fund the interests of which alone would be available for the support of these widows and orphans. A fund To this however our con- of at least Rs. 10,000 would be required. gregations in their present state of poverty are quite incapable of con- tributing more than a frifle. They have begun to collect money for the purpose, but to meet the exigences, the brethren have been put to the necessity to solicit the aid of our English friends in India. The appeal made has already been liberally responded to, about Rs. 1500 having been received. But the object is still far from being realized, and we wish to lay this worthy cause once again before our christian friends. The Girls’ School has lost the valuable superintendence of Mrs. Miiller who is especially gifted for this work, and the charge of the school has devolved upon Mrs. Hanhart and Miss Schweitzer. The institution had to go through a very severe trial, when during two months not less than 24 of the dear girls fell sick with smallpox. All recovered by the grace of God with the exception of two, who lost their eyesight, one of whom however was afterwards released out of this world of sorrows by a peaceful and blessed death. The two remaining Vernacular Schoels (two others had to be given up) have certainly a good influence in their neighbourhood. To one of the teachers the missionary in charge bears the testimony, that he not only knows the truth as it is in Jesus, but that he has received, loves and testifies it without reluctance before friends and foes and has brought many sacrifices for the sake of truth. Yet he has not yet come to the final decision of giving himself entirely over to the Lord. 'We cannot refrain ourselves from relating a case of peculiar deal- ings of the Lord with a family at Cannanore in consequence of which a precious soul has been brought over to Him. “A young man, now employed as schoolmaster, who was converted three years ago (vide Report of 1861) was attacked by smallpox so virulently, that the physician himself despaired of his recovery. When the young man was thus lying unconsciously on his sickbed, his respectable heathen relations came to see him and entreated his disconsolate heathen mother, to make the usual vows and offerings to their demon, for the wrath of the demon must be appeas- 43 I; ed, if ever recovery could be thought of. But the elder brother of the poor sufferer, likewise a Christian, very strenuously opposed these counsels and pre- vailed at last so far upon his mother; that she vowed, if the God of the Christi- ans should save her son, she herself would join his church. And behold! against every hope the sick man recovered, a wonder of grace for all who had known his dangerous state. The aged mother was true to her word. She at once attended the christian service and after due preparation was baptized in the name of Jesus.” TELLICHERRY. Rev. Ch. Miiller (1842) Rev. L. Reinhardt (1859) Rev. H. Bergfeldt (1860).

The chief event of the Station was the completion of the little Church, which had been much longed for, after the many difficulties encountered. The consecration took place on the 2nd of October, to which occasion the brethren of the neighbouring stations gathered. The day was spent with joyful meetings in the presence of the Lord; several addresses were delivered by missionaries and catechists. It was indeed a refreshing day at a time of trials and many sorrows. Christian friends in Europe had sent the gift of a bell for this house of prayer, and to have a proper belfry for it the congregation contri- 6% 44 buted on this day nearly the whole sum needful, although the christians at the place are just now passing through a time of unusual distress. The Middle School, under the direction of Mr. Bergfelds, suffered for a time some interruption in the course of instructionin consequence of one of the native teachers falling dangerously sick with smallpox; but the Lord spared him graciously for his work. The school, con- taining 4 classes, is now in full working order and we trust, that its pupils will turn more and more well trained labourers for the great vineyard of the Lozrd. The Orphanage, now under the superintendence of Mr. and Mrs. Miiller, was mercifully spared from any severe sickness in a time when people all around were laid low by dangerous diseases. Only the be- ginning of the rainy season told on many weaker constituted boys, but without any fatal end. The Angle-Vernacular School, called ¥Brennen School’ is by God’s grace flourishing under its headmaster Mr. Reinhardt, who speaks about the past year as the most prosperous and blessed year since he began to labour in it. In spite of the rival school of the Roman Catholics with its inducements, the number of scholars on the rolls was never so high and the attendance very satisfactory. At the public examina- tion, at which the Judge Mr. Sullivan had the kindness to preside, the chairman expressed his full satisfaction at the state of the school. Proofs are not wanting, that the leaven of the Gospel is working silently but not the less powerfully in many of the youthful hearts. Last year the Vernacular School, erected by the liberality of a Parsi gentleman Kosru Dara Sha, could be opened with about 50-60 boys. 45 ‘CHOMBALA. Rev. Ch. Aldinger (1855).

By God’s wonderful grace they were restored; but now they had to bear other trials together with the congregation. Typhusand smallpox laid a great part of the christians on a protracted sickbed and 13 of them, many in the midst of their days, were called away from this world. This time of sickness was the more distressing as these poor people even in time of health gain their livelihood with difficulty. Yet the Lord be praised for all his dealings, for in such times of trials the reality of Grod’s promises and of the faith of true believers is put to the test and found sure. Especially the family of one of the catechists was sorely tried. Yet during this time of great affliction his spiritual life visibly grew stronger and his whole conduct spoke more about the hope which was in him, than many words could do. For many of these poor chris- tians thus called away death had lost its terror and we have a well founded hope concerning them. But for this unusual mortality, by which many bonds of love were torn asunder, the number of communicants would have been increased not inconsiderably. For the Lord granted us 12 souls out of the heathen, two of whom shortly after their baptism died a happy death. Another one, a Nayer, still under instruction, died so suddenly, that he could not be baptized, but he died with the name of the Lord Jesus on his lips. 46 o e s The missionary and the catechists, partly accompanied by a colporteur, have several times traversed the surrounding country pro- claiming the words of life. Sometimes other members of the congre- gation also have gone out to testify of the salvation in Jesus. This was especially done by the small band of christians living at the out- station Muverattu, through whose instrumentality quite a movement was caused amongst the heathen. A number of young men came for- ward with the declaration to join the christians, all of them were at first taken back to their families partly by force, but some have again returned to the christians and now receive instruction. Besides the Parochial School at Chombala under a trained master, there is a school at Muverattu visited by christian and heathen children, entirely conducted upon christian principles. The heathen school at Wadagerry, though no longer in connection with the mission, is fre- quently visited by the missionary, and his visits are now apparently - more appreciated by the master and the boys than when the school was partly supported by the mission. e 47 CALICUT Rev.

But as far as religious life shows itself by the attendance of the public services, family worship and by the relation of the church members to their paster, there is really not much to be complained of. “On the 13th of November we had the joy to receive after due preparation three young men into the congregation by baptism The first of them is a Tier youth about 19 years of age He formerly was for a time in the company of the Syrian Christians, but as he did not find there what his heart longed He is a after, he came here and asked for admission into our congregation quiet industrious man and we have every reason to be satisfied with his conduct The second is a young fisherman from Tellicherry of about the same age with the former When a boy he had already learned the word of God in one of the 48 schools established at Tellicherry by the missionaries, but the spark of divine fire at that time fallen in his heart has lain hid under the embers until the Lord himself kindled the flame. Now the lad without peace and rest in his mind took refuge to the migssionaries at Tellicherry. His relations, as soon as they were informed of the place where he was, resorted there and prevailed on him by entreaties and fair promises to return with them. The poor boy did still look too much upon that which is visible; therefore he had not the power to count all things lost for Christ. Yet he was by no means at rest; unable to withstand longer the drawing of the father unto the Son, he for the second time left the parental roof secretly and went to the missionaries at Calicut in order to evade the inquiries of his relations, and fully resolved no longer to disregard the call of Jesus to follow him. Yet he was not spared the struggle with his dear ones according to the flesh and, but for the assistance of God’s grace, his heart, deeply moved by his mother’s wailing, would not have been strong enough to prefer Jesus even to these dearest ones. After baptism we thought it the best to let him return to his own family to testify there to all the great things the Lord had done unto him. He The third of the 3 persons baptized is a Brahmin from Trevandrum. too had formerly heard the word of God, but still the bonds of the family were stronger than his new convictions. In this state of mind he came about 11 year ago to Calicut and visited the missionaries from time to time as Nicodemus came to Jesus. In this time the Lord himself cut asunder the bonds which still kept the young man away from Him, his second wife also died. And now the decision was made, the same day when he received this distressing news he broke the holy thread and came openly over to us. As the young man has a quick intellect and had already made a good progress in the knowledge of Salvation, he could soon be baptized and he is now in the middle-school at Tellicherry, preparing himself for the work of preaching the word of God to his countrymen. May the Lord who has redeemed these three souls also with his precious blood, keep them in his communion and let them be to the praise of his glory. The Boarding-School under the care of Mrs. Fritz assisted by Mrs. i | Schauffler, is divided in two parts. The elder and better gifted girls receive a somewhat higher education than the others, a little English also being taught. The Angle-Vernacular Scheel is still labouring under the same difficulty as last year, the Government School drawing away most of its pupils as often as new admissions take place there. In consequence of this fact there are only a few boys attending our school for more than 11 years. But though under these circumstances not only the —s 49 steady progress of the school is much checked, even the existence of the school put in jeopardy, we do not feel ourselves at liberty to close the school entirely, for we are still enabled to give there these poor boys a valuable store of divine truths, which they could not get elsewhere. And if the seed of God’s word, now sown under discouragements, will spring up in a future day and bring fruit by God’s blessing, we shall feel richly recompensed for our present trouble. CODACAL.

The christians here, who had had a distressing time the previous year, were also this year sorely tried. Nearly all these people are small farmers and depend for their livelihood entirely on the produce of their fields. The distress which befell them, may therefore be im=- agined, when we state that not only the second harvest of the previ- ous year, but also the first harvest of the last year were utter failures. Besides and partly in consequence of this, cholera made its appearance 7 el 50__ ab the beginning of the year and made sad havoc amongst the famished people. Yet we are called by the word of God to take all these afflic- tions as gracious chastisements of the heavenly Father, who prepares his people by trials and bereavements for future blessings. As a token of God’s mercy and presence among us we may also accept the goodly number of 30 catechumeni, who were brought to the missionaries. Though some of them, who had sought outward assistance and not the salvation of their souls, have turned back, in the meantime others have taken their place and others have already entered the Church of Christ by baptism. May they all be preserved and strengthened in the precious faith they have testified. The Parochial Sehool is now in a much more satisfactory condition than formerly, since a trained teacher has been put in charge of it, Those of the boys, who are sufficiently advanced in the vernacular and the elements of learning, are also tgught English.

Yet when Mr. Graeter was called away to Mangalore, there was no one else who could be spared for 51 this place. In consequence of this scdroity of labourers, chiefly result- ing from financial difficulties, which forbid our Committee to send out fresh men, it was declared by our Committee, that also the Anglo- Vernacular School at Palghaut, which was just beginning to prosper, could no longer be supported from the mission funds and that for that But the brethren there, whose heart reason it should be broken up. was in this their cherished work, could not be persuaded thus to destroy a work of hope without trying every means to save it. With many personal sacrifices they and the first teacher of the school contrived to keep the school agoing, and we trust, that the Lord himself will awaken friends willing to lend a helping hand to this Station and its blessed works. We know that our home Committee too will not fail to send the much needed reinforcement within this present year, if ever their finances do not prevent them. The most important work of this Station is that carried on among the heathen around. Mr. Diez, who is peculiarly gifted bodily as well as mentally to encounter the hardships and other difficulties connected with itinerary preaching, was indefatiguable in visiting the villages and bazaars far and near, assisted by a staff of native labourers, to call the people to their only Saviour and Mediator Jesus Christ. His attention was chiefly, but by no means exclusively, directed to a peculiar caste or rather tribe of the district, called Ilawars, numbering about 70,000 souls, to whom the Lord had opened the door. Although these people are still quite ignorant about the contents of the word of God and the way of salvation, there is unmistakably a desire to hear and to understand the doctrines of the Gospel. The messengers of the Lord going out to them, have with very few exceptions not only met with a cordial reception, but often their new acquaintances entreated them to lengthen or soon to repeat their visits. By these occasions the Scriptures and tracts were widely disseminated. During 13 months not less than 2081 Secriptures and tracts were sold by the missionary and his companions, in which work a colporteur, whose expenses were borne chiefly by the Madras Auxiliary Bible Society, did very good service. Yet though the field looks promising, we do not cheer unclouded 7* 52 e hopes. The great enemy of our souls is still on his watch to guard his own. And the Romanists, ever ready to reap where others have sown, and to frustrate the efforts of evangelical missions, are just now extremely busy to turn this movement going on amongst the population around Palghaut to their profit. We would therefore recommend this Station and the interesting work going on there especially to the interceding prayers of the Lord’s people. IV. NILAGIRIL KAITY. Rev. F. Metz (1843) Rev. Ch.

But unto the Lord, whose name is Faithful and Truth, be glory and praise for all, for the afflictions and anxieties as well as for the abund- ance of his comforts and mercies. Hallelujah! Both the senior missionaries of the Station were nearly at the same time attacked with fever, which very probably was caused by the same influences, viz. the powerful rays of the sun during the months 53 e preceding the monsoon. Mr. Metz was first struck down by such a severe fever that he himself as well as his friends did not think he would be restored to this poor life. But his removal to Coimbatore was through God’s grace the means to restore his strength in such a manner, that he was enabled during the latter part of the year to go on his errands as messenger of the Lord all over the Hills with his former strength and wonted activity. But dear brother Moerike was so much weakened by constantly repeating attacks of fever, that his nervous system was quite shaken and a return to Europe unavoidable. After more than 19 years of incessant labour, only interrupted several times by some serious illness, Mr. Moerike departed with his partner for Europe in February last. May the Lord grant them a blessed journey and restore them speedily for their cherished work among the Hill tribes. The work of evangelization amongst the Hill tribes has been un- promising to a degree, yet the work of faith, continued patiently with- out any visible effect fora long time, has been rewarded with not many but the more precious fruits springing up on the barren ground. And in these fruits we have the visible and undeniable proof, that the Lord is able and willing to bring also these poor people, despised by black and white, to a new life in Jesus. Mr. Krauss, who was chiefly engaged in superintending the heathen schools and educating some christian youths in a training class, chang- ed places with Mr. Wenger in the middle of the year. Thus Mr. Wenger has returned to his first field of labour. Mr. Metz, in his wanderings through the small villages of the Badagas, was many times cheered by the reception his testimony met with, chiefly in some villages near Kotagherry. “ Qur dear Abraham also, Mr. Moerike remarks, the first fruit from amongst the Badagas, proves himself more and more a really useful assistant in the mission work. He was indefatiguable in testifying the saving power of Jesus by word and walk. The whole congregation of Badaga christians, though small in number, is a source of joy for the missionaries by their One member of the steady walk in the light and their whole bearing. AR 54 His last words to those congregation departed this world in peace. present were: ‘Tell me about Christ as long as I am able to hear’. ” Our new little church at the christian hamlet Nerkambe, part of the The village Chogatorre, presents a fine prospect even from afar- f i our building expenses were entirely defrayed by kind contributions o English friends, whom the Lord had made willing at the proper time to assist in this good work. Our native christians were not able to give money, but they gave themselves up to the work, which they did with right earnest, asking no other reward than to see their own church completed. The day of consecration was a day rich of joys and blessings. One circumstance cast a dark shadow into the general joy. Mr. Moerike, the pastor of this small congregation, had not the pri- vilege to be present with the opening of the house of prayer, the fatigues endured during the erection of the building having prostrated him More than 60 Europeans assembled at that day at Nerkambe fo - solemnize this consecration of the first church erected on the Hills for the indigenous natives, amongst their number was- to be seen the esteemed Lord Bishop of Madras, who, being just on the Hills at the time, wished to show his sympathy for the cause of the Lord amongst these poor people. Besides a warm address spoken by the Bishop and the introductory service of Mr. Metz, several addresses were delivered in not less than 5 different languages. When Mr. Metz had finished his service in Canarese, the Lord Bishop spoke in English, his words being translated into Canarese by Mr. Metz to the numerous Badagas present. After him Mr. Thomas, for a long time Collector at Coimbatore and the well known friend of the Hills people, spoke in Tamil, a language pretty well understood by the Badagas; then the Rev. Porter of the Church Mission, in order to avoid the tedious translation, addressed the people in Telugu, expecting that those who understood Canarese and Tamil would also be not entirely strangers of the sister language. At last the Evangelist Abraham expressed in his own Badaga tongue his gratitude to the Lord for the blessed work he had brought to such a happy conclusion, and called his countrymen with very touching words to come and be partakers of the grace and exceed- ing great love of our Saviour. It was on the whole a day rich with 55 blessings and will not be forgotten by all present. May now this new building be a light-house for the benighted people tossed to and fro in the waves of this restless life, to guide many souls to the harbour of Emmanuel’s land. Very likely drawn nearer by the event of this church building came in the first months of the year three youths one after the other, de- claring their resolution to remain with the christians. Yet one only remained steadfast and unmoved by the entreaties of his relations and could be received by baptism into Christ’s flock. The operations of our Society in other countries. 1. Africa: In this vast continent the work of our mission is carried on a very limited space, at the gold-coast. There six Stations with a number of out-stations are established amongst four different negro tribes; all of them being under English protection. The reports from these Stations are on the whole very satisfactory compared with those of previous years, where the awful death rate of the Eur ers opean labour- and in consequence the very slow progress of the work were very trying for the faith of the leaders of the mission. Now thanks be to God, this state of things has happily changed for better. With the completion of salubrious dwelling places, the clearing away of the jungle and the necessary precautions learned by sad experience, the health of the missionaries is much better, and with the steady increase of useful native assist ants the work can now be prosccuted without such dis- tressing sacrifices of life and health as was prev iously the case. At the close of 1863 (the last year about which full records are at our hand) the census shows 851 churchmembers and 129 ¢ atechu- meni against 719 churchmembers and 129 catechumeni reported the year before.—Of the 84 missionaries working there 15 are ordained, the other 19 8ave one are engag ed in the different industrial establish- 56 ments carried on there. This comparatively large number of lay- brethren is the more needed in the African missions as in these quite uncivilized countries nothing could be procured by native labourers in the shape of carpenter-work or any other thing necessary to Europeans. Thus formerly the ordained missionaries had to waste their time not only but also their health and life in erecting buildings, doing the required farming work, etc., until experienced assistants took this burden from At the same time the work of civilization must of their shoulders. necessity accompany the work of evangelization, if not, the progress of the latter will be much retarded. Now we can fairly state, much has already been accomplished in this way, the fruits of which will become each year more apparent. Fducation also has made some important strides forward, 627 pupils having attended the mission schools during the year. The Seminary for training mative assistants number 10 boarders, the two Middle-Schools 26 pupils. The influence of the Gospel on the heathen is decidedly on the increase; the blessing of education being more and more appreciated, old and time-honoured, yet cruel customs being dis- regarded or falling silently in disuse in spite of remonstrances made by the conservative party, headed by the fetish priests. All this, much as we have reason to praise the Lord for it, is still little, if compared with the vast regions still sitting in darkness, entirely given up to the cruel dominion of Satan. But He who has carried on his good work so far will surely accomplish it. 9. China: This empire is now in a measure opened to his servants by the hand of God, and our missionaries have gladly availed them- selves of this opportunity and carried the banner of the cross farther inland. When in the previous year Mr. Winnes ventured into the in- terior to visit the newly gatherd flock of believers in the Tshonglok district, some 300 miles to the North East of Hongkong, he had to do go as by stealth. The year afterwards Mr. Lechler, protected by the passport of the Prussian Consul, travelled openly through the land, res- pectfully received by the authorities, and testifying the Salvation in Jesus to high and low in hotels and public offices: and he was enabled to procure for the Christians at Tshonglok, who had hitherto suffered 57 —— many wrongs from robbers, without getting redress or protection from the mandarins, some effective assistance. On receiving these cheering news our Committee felt constrained, in spite of the financial pressure, to send two missionaries from Europe, in order to erect a new Station at Tshonglok and to take care for the Christians and numerous enquir- ers in that region; the Chinese Christians there having already by their own means prepared a suitable house for the expected teachers. According to our latest accounts Mr. Bender has safely reached Tshong- lok to take up his abode there, but the other missionary, a French subject, has been refused a passport by the French Consul at Canton under the plea, that the French treaty with the Chinese has reference only to Roman Catholic missionaries; thus an unjustifiable and vex- ing delay has been caused, which will however in no wise retard the progress of the Lord’s work. 58 Conclusion, We have only to say a few words about the financial state of our Mission Society and the contemplated celebration of the Jubilee of our Mission. When every year we look back to the ways the Lord has brought us, and to the means by which he has sustained so large a body of men as our Mission represents, we are astonished and constrained to give all praise and glory unto Him, whose is both silver and gold and who has hitherto not ceased to care for his servants. We at the same time acknowledge with thankfulness the support received from all those friends whom the Lord has made willing to assist in this great work of calling those who are still in the power of Satan to Him and to his blessed kingdom, by their sympathy, prayer and pecuniary aid.

The resolutions are: 1 That all the members and friends of our Evangelical Missionary Society shall be invited by an especial appeal, to unite in prayer and intercession before the throne of grace in behalf of the Basel Evangelical Missionary Society and its work, indwidually and in public meetings, especially during the week of prayer at the beginning of the year, at our anniversary, and on the day of the founding of the Society, 25th September. 2 That our fiftieth anniversary, which is to take place on the 5th and 6th of July, shall be celebrated as our Jubilee. 3. That this Jubilee shall be celebrated without ;po’mp or many for= malilies, avoiding all extraordinary arrangements besides the usual program of the anniversary. All persons attending and acting on the Sestive days are reminded to make, as far as lies in them, the JSestwval a time of adoration in the Spirit and in truth, a day of thanks-gwing, working and reviving a more humble, sincere and vigorous faith, a still closer union in the Spirit of all the friends of the Society and more active, answering and unreserved devotion to the great work of the mission, both on the part of its Friends and onthat of its Labourers. 4. That some of the friends of the Society be called upon to pre- pare tracts for the occasion, by which the interest for our work may be extended among high and low and the present friends of the Lord’s cause strengthened in the work of the Lord. Besides this a member of the Committee shall be appointed to write the outlines of the history of our Society, to be distributed at the an- nversary. 5 That all the Auziliary and Branch Societies and all the Friends of the Mission be requested, to direct their efforts to the end that 1 61 a, all those, that are in friendly connexion with our Society, may be confirmed and strengthened in their resolution by the Jubilee, that as Sfar as lies in their power, the institutions and the work of the Basel Society may be preserved and continued in its progress; b, That each and all the Members and Friends of our Society, especially those, that are possessed of means, may acknowledge it as an obligation of gratitude and love, not to allow this year of Jubilee to pass, without entirely freeing the Society of the burden of their debts; ¢, That besides this, if it be the gracious will of our good Lord, some of our friends may contribute special gifts to a Jubilee-fund, which, according to circumstances and the amount of the sum contributed, would be dedicated either for the endowment of one of our Seminaries or for the establishment of a new Station or the erection of Church in one of our mission-congregations. We, on our part, need not add any thing more to the above resolu- tions; but conclude with the words of the Circular of our home Com- mittee: that every reader of this and every friend of their work may be assured, that they remember in this year of Jubilee more than ever the words of Scripture: %a man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.” John III, 27; and that other word ¢The Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show kim greater works than these, that ye may marvel. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.” John V, 20. 21. Let every thing be uncertain, one thing is undoubtedly sure, that God is a God of mercy to the poor and needy and that the long dura- tion of the night, wkick covers all heathen nations, is not to be con- sidered a sign, that God according to his counsel will have this night continued for a long time to come, but that on the contrary it is a loud witness and powerful arqument for every one, whose heart beats for his brethren in misery, not to be backward in bringing them assistance and also that it is a testimony, that the Lord hastens, yea surely he hastens to finish His work.
