Repoed,

N laying the Report for 1867 before our English friends, we desire

first of all to give expression to our heart-felt gratitude to the Lord

9 for the multifarious blessings bestowed on the different branches

of our work, as well as to our joyful conviction, that His hand is

working with us and leading us on step by step in the way, which

must end in India’s subjugation to the cross of Christ, This conviction

based as it is on God’s infallible promises, cannot but be confirmed by

His dealings with us during the last year also, which presents—among

manifold trials and dissappointments—many a hopeful feature and

many an indication of actual progress:

If we cast a glance on our census,—the number of European

labourers (the wives of the Missionaries included) has risen from 77 to

88

With special gratitude we state, that, for the first time since

several years, we have not to record a single death among the staff

of our Missionaries, though a great many of them were partly or

entirely disabled from their work by failure of health.

Moreover,

whilst we had to deplore the departure for Europe of only two members

of our body (Mr. & Mrs. Convert) during 1867, we were permitted to

welcome as many as thirteen new arrivals from Europe. These were

indeed a most necessary reinforcement, after having sustained a suc-

cession of losses during preceding years, which the above arrivals

have hardly supplied. #

i

* We take this opportunity, publicly to express our deep sense of gratitude

to such of our friends in Madras and Bombay, as have so very hospitably given

a comfortable home to our new brethren at their first landing on the shores of

this—to them a strange country, and we feel constrained to mention the names

of the Rev. Messrs. Miller and Stevenson, Mrs. Anderson at Madras and

Mr. Neuberg at Bombay.

14

As to our native agency we are glad to state, that a second native

minister has been ordained (vide Report of Chombala, Malabar), and

that the number of our catechists and evangelists has grown from 45

to 52, and that of the Christian schoolmasters from 30 to 39, whilst

that of our female teachers has remained the same during the last

two years.

Besides, two additional stations appear in this Report.

Honore,

after so many vicissitudes, has been re-occupied by two new brethren,

and Kotagherry, hitherto an out-station to Kaity, has been raised to

the rank of an independent station.

We have also been led to occupy

several new out-stations by cheering events which have occurred there

during the year.

Our educational institutions are four more in number, than in the

preceding year, and those, who attend (Christians and heathen) amount

at present to 2144, which again is an increase of 358 over last Report.

This is chiefly owing to the increase of 179 boys and twenty girls to

the number of attendants in our heathen vernacular schools and of 79

children in our Parochial schools above the last year’s census.

Even

in our Anglo-vernacular schools an increase of 93 scholars appears on

the roll, but we fear the standard of instruction has been lowered in

some instances in consequence of the erection of Government Schools

on our stations.

Lastly as regards our Christian Congregations we are likewise happy

to be able to record an addition of 192 souls.

Thus if we look only at the figures of our census, which altogether

show progress, we have ground for praising the Liord of the harvest

But we are far from over-rating

and taking courage for the future.

the value of mere figures. For He, who judgeth righteously and trieth

the reins and the heart, may reckon with other numbers; and we also

cannot fail to discover an immense diversity of quality in those figures.

And the very year under review has in one station or other brought

N

to light some grievious defects among our people

vertheless, on

reviewing the last year's history, we are led to believe that the inward

state of our people is not retrograde whilst their number increases;

we may rather say our churches are, in many respects gradually,

5

A s

though slowly, growing out of their infancy and youth into a some-

what more manly and self-reliant state of Christian life

As to the influence, which the Mission exercises over the heathen

population within our reach, we need only point to the promising fields

round the stations Moolky and Oodapy, Bettigherry and Gooledgood

Palghaut and Kaity, to show, that the Gospel is mightily working as

a wholesome leaven among numbers of people, who have not yet been

able to extricate themselves from the thraldom of heathenism, though

the competition of Government Schools may have deprived us of part

of our influence over the hicher classes

hus not only from the figures

of our census, but from other indications also we are confident, that

the Lord is with us and has much people to be claimed for Hml on the

vast field occupied by our

Mission.

But alas!

if we have

reason to hope and rejoice at the prospects

before us, there is another line of figures, which depresses us and which

we, therefore, cannot keep from the notice of our friends.

The total

annual receipts of our Society have since 1862 (which year is marked

as a new period in this respect) been fluctuating between

88,000

and 757,000 frs.; and as the last two years’ receipts are the lowest in

this scale, we are afraid, that, if no new sources of help are opened

we cannot expect any considerable rise in the receipts for the next

year. But the demands of the Mission work have long gone in advance

of those receipts, so much so, that our Comunitiee found themselves

again burdened with a deficit of not less than 101,000 frs. at the out-

set of last year.® It is clear, that if the friends of Missions do not

make particular efforts, very considerable reductions in our work will

be inevitable; and these reductions will be the more painful, because the

Jeatures of our fleld of labour are at the present time most promising

Our Committee have already laid this state of things before the

Christian public through the medium of the Qerman Missionar Yy paper

and added the declaration,

1

“f/zat zf the Lord really should command us to stand still and

e

*Acco:dmg to our r latest intelligence the deficit has swollen to 164,000 frs,

“That we shall not deem ourselves justified and bound to take

“this step, unless, notwithstanding our earnest appeal to Christian liber-

This appeal to the liberality and self-denying zeal of God's people

J

we desire to echo itn the ears of our dear English friends, adding,

1

That our work must certainly be regarded as auxiliary to the

0

greai Mission, with which the British nation has been entrusted by

Him, who made her the ruler of this vast empire, and

2

That the contributions, derived from this country, for which we

certainly do not feel ungrateful, have for years been falling off in the

same measure, as they were more needed.

May the Lord, to whom all the gold and silver of the world be-

long, move the hearts of those, into whose hands these pages may fall,

still more liberally to sacrifice for His cause out of those things which

are His and are entrusted to them, and to do so joyfully and prayer-

fully, that their offerings may be acceptable to God and profitable to

themselves !

CANARA.

What we designate the District of Canara, comprises first of all

f

our three stations in Southern Canara, viz. Mangalore, Moolky, and

Oodapy, where the vast majority of the population, as well as our

Christian congregations speak Zulu, whilst, in our Mission, the mani-

i

fold educational, as well as literary labours are chiefly conducted in

Besides these, we include

f

the Government language, Canarese.

in this District the purely Canarese Missions on our North-Canara

Though there is such a large body of European Missionaries lo-

Il

cated in this our central station, a want of hands was most painfully

felt during the whole of the year.

If we omit the industrial depart-

i

ment, there are indeed very few left for the great variety of Mission

Il

work properly so called.

For the evangelistic branch Mr. Kaundinya

1-

1l

only was set free in the whole district, but he also was interrupted

for a portion of the year by his being obliged to take up the work of

e

another for a time.

The literary department was only supplied at the

4

end of the year, by one single man, Mr. Kittel, who with his newly

*The figures after the names show the date of active service.

ki

married wife, retarned from Europe in October to resume his former

charge.

The pastoral duties among our Christian Congregation de-

volved chiefly on Mr. Brigel, who, however, had not only to send his

¢l

suffering partner to the Nilgherries in February 1867, but had to fol-

{

low her in June, as her state of health rendered his personal attendance

indispensable.

During his absence Mr, Kaundinya had to assume the

e T S P Y VU

¥6

charge of the Congregation.

Mr. Brigel, anxious to resume his work,

o

pa

so mach endeared to him, and considering his presence with his wife

1

no longer absolutely necessary, left her and returned to Mangalore in

e

October.

But as early as December he was again called to the Hills.

0r

As Mr. Kaundinya could not again be withdrawn from his itinerating

of

duties during the best season, the whole charge of the large congrega-

P Y S TN

18

tion devolved upon the shoulders of young Mr. Schnepf, who, having

not yet completed his first year in India, was still engaged in the study

of Canarese.

He could not, therefore, be expected to be sufficiently

fo

prepared for administering to a large congregation, consisting chiefly

16

of Tulu speaking members, and so extensive that one Missionary, how-

fo:

ever experienced, has long proved insufficient for the task. Moreover,

I

poor Mr. Schnepf was continually suffering from head-ache, so that it

of

was indeed a most trying time to him. He and all of us are, therefore,

&

glad of the prospect of speedy relief by the return of Mr. Brigel, as

his wife, seeing no chance of recoveryv in India, has resolved to depart

for Europe without him.

Th

Four Missionaries of the station, viz. Messrs. Burkhardt, F. Miiller,

hh

G'rdter, and Ziegler were engaged in the different educational establish-

Wi

ments.

But in this department also we have to complain of consider-

164

able interruptions, in as much as Mr. Burkhardi, on account of his own

B

iy

and his partner’s ill-health, was compelled to go to the Hills for

i

two months, and Mr. Ziegler from the same reason had to be absent on

Il

the Nilgherries almost for the whole year. The latter .(Mr. Ziegler)

1]

had scarcely returned in the middle of December, when an order of the

L)

Home-Committee arrived calling him to Hoobly; and consequently his

fag

iy

Mangalore charge, the English School had to be abolished. His name

e

appears now in the census of Hoobly.

Thus this year was a time of

Ag

suffering and trial to the staff of European labourers.

Happily we

ey

19

"

¢

know, that tribulation also is a blessing to God’s people, and we pray,

le

that these afflictions may in their results be beneficial to the work

i

entrusted to us.

)

|

These vicissitudes have, as we have seen, fallen heavily upon the

106

Congregation. Nevertheless we may speak of progress even during this

he

year.

First we have to record a numerical increase of 56 members,

tk,

partly occasioned by the baptism of 19 heathens.

As an indication of

ife

inward growth, we may observe that Christian discipline is more and

il

more exercised especially by the elders against those who walk dis-

s,

orderly and inconsistently.

It may be regarded partly as the effect

il

of good discipline, that the apparent number of Non-Communicants

i)

is so large, which fact, though deplorable in itself, can scarcely be taken

ng

as a sign of retrogression, especially if we take into consideration, that

dy

most of the cases, which called forth church discipline, originated in

tly

former years and were brought to light during the last year partly by

f

y

the voluntary confession of the offenders themselves.

Lastly we have

il

to mention the joyful fact, that this year of trial has added a new and

Ty

promising Out-station, Rdvanéshwara some forty miles to the south

tit

of Maungalore, where the conversion of a family opened us a door and

)16y

gave us a firm footing.

i

Wé beg to insert some details from a report of Mr. Kvaundinya:

arb

The head of the above family was called Puttappa, of the Malaver caste.

The dignity of chief or head-man of the caste is hereditary in his family; and

his father had succeeded to the office.

ol'y

The latter was involved in a law-suit,

]b]l

with a Brahmin by which, though he won it, he lost a large portion of the

wealth of the family, but obtained emancipation from the Brahmin’s claims

el-

He had his only son Puttappa somewhat educated according to the Hindu

A

style, and he devoted himself to the Jnédna, (science), which is equivalent

for

to Pantheism with those people

About five years ago a tract of ours on Caste

on

fell into his hands and was diligently read.

From this time he felt strengthened

in his rejection of caste and idolatry and occasionally gave utterance to his

ler)

conviction.

he

He was seeking something, which would give his soul full satis-

faction; and by and bye the idea dawned upon him, that Christianity was the

true religion.

About that time he heard, that a Brahmin in Mangalore had

mé

previously become a Christian and was now living at that place as a Missionary.

0l

Accordingly he set out for Mangalore to see that man (Mr. Kaundinya); but on

Wiv

hearing, that he was absent, he became dispirited and returned home, not, how-

g

20

ever, without bringing with him a new tract “On Religion,” which he had bought

ff

in the Mission-Shop. But his relatives, when they heard him speak of becoming

h

a Christian, thought him to be mad, confined him, and put his feet in the stocks.

¢l

After having regained his liberty, he went to Mangalore again; but though he

5

d

was shown the way to the Missionaries, his courage failed, and agitated by a

strange fear, he left the place to return home, without having seen any of them.

On his way back he went into the house of a Mussulman to find an apparatus

for smoking hemp.

Here he became talkative and began to expose his dislike

for caste and idolatry. On the morrow he was induced to eat with them, and

1I

was taught by them, that Mohammedanism was the religion, he had hitherto

sought.

He spent some days amongst them without finding peace; and then

fell into the snares of Roman Catholics.

But when he entered their church

i

and saw the multitude of their images, which many were worshipping, he

thought: there is idolatry again, and turned away with detestation, protesting,

al

Mohammedanism was better than that.

He was then publicly taken by his

0l

Mussulman friends to their mosque at Mangalore and received the name of

Abdul Kéder.

Some time later he was actually’ circumeised.

But though the

g

Mussulmans did their best to cheer him, the uneasiness of his heart remained

fo

unabated. For he had not found, what he sought.

Afterwards he paid a visit

to his native village, but was not allowed to see his wife and child. Dispirited

D

thereby, he went to Kasargode and entered the police service.

But when after

1]

three months, on another visit to his village, first his son and then his wife

consented to eat and live with him (though they became outcasts thereby); he

left the police service again and lived as a Mohammedan by name, but was in-

1l

wardly more and more alienated to that religion, whilst his former inclination

towards Christianity was more and more strengthened by appropriating and

(

reading fresh supplies of Christian tracts.

Nor did this state of his feelings

remain hidden from his co-religionists, who persuaded him, that the Protestant

I

Missionaries never admit Mohammedans to their religion on the ground, that

§

they cannot be trusted, but always turn back again. Thereby he was deterred

from taking any further step, but tried thenceforth to obtain the peace of his

th

soul by a closer adherence to the precepts of his adopted religion.

Thus he

disquietude and the insatiable yearning of his heart could not escape the observ-

il

ation of some of his heathen relatives; one of these persuaded and encouraged

Iy

him to make another attempt to see Mr. Kaundinya; for he was as a Moham-

0

medan, he said, already lost to them, and they could only rejoice, if he should

of

turn a Christian at last.

But Puttappa again failed to find Mr. Kaundinya at

home.

His mind, however, was now made up; and at length, by the help of

his relative, an interview in Mangalore was effected, and was followed by a

Wi

visit of Mr. Kaundinya to his house in Rédvanéshwara and the dispatch of two

a1

catechists to instruct him and his family in the Christian religion and preach

Ui

the Gospel to his countrymen.

At once he gave up his old passion of smoking

ing

hemp, joyfully imbibed the Gospel of peace and rapidly acquired a correct and

ks

clear knowledge of God’s plan of salvation.

With a sad heart we have to register the abolition of our time-

honoured Anglo-Vernacular School.

The opposition of part of the

his

population against the religious instruction of a Mission School had

)W

led in the preceding year to the ercction of a Government School. The

o,

novelty of the matter actually filled the new school and almost emptied

141

our old one.

Our Home-Committee, therefore, contemplated and re-

n

commended the immediate abolition of the latter.

Mr. Ziegler, the

superintendent, naturally long hesitated in retiring from the work, to

out

which he had given his whole heart.

But meanwhile, he was laid

t

aside, as mentioned above, by the hand of God, and had to be absent

g5,

for almost the whole year. The attendance of his school did not how-

150

ever, fall off further; and among a number of his former pupils, who

ho,

had not found in the Government school, what they had expected, the

pmt

old attachment and confidence to their former master returned; and

for

a desire of completing their studies under his able guidance gained

ofs

strength, especially when it was known that a number of Mr. Zicgler's

pupils had distinguished themselves in the Matriculation Examination

at Madras. Their desire at last embodied itself in the form of a petition

oal

104

to him for opening a class, preparatory to the Examination, for a select

number of talented and advanced young men.

But when Mr. Ziegler,

s of

after his return from the Hills, was ordered by the Committee to another

al {

station, a great agitation arose among those Brahmin youths and re-

Bl

sulted in another petition, signed by fifty of them, to the Missionaries

of the place, repeating the above proposal and urgently asking for the

retention of Mr. Ziegler; for a Government School, they advanced,

At the opening of last year Mr. Traub still was a labourer at this

station. But the repeated breaking down of his health necessitated

fi

his ultimate departure from Canara in February for a lengthened stay

on the Nilgherries. We regret, that we cannot as yet speak of any

f

improvement in his health, and can scarcely hope, that he will ever be

able again to work in India.

After his departure Mr. and Mrs. Minner found themselves again

left alone and really over-burdened by the multifarious duties of the

station with its five out-stations. The Girls’ Institution, however, soon

]

received help by the arrival of Miss Schweizer from Calicut, who re-

mained at the station, till she was married to Mr. Fr. Miiller in

If

§

Mangalore at the end of the year.

But meanwhile, other aid had

arrived on the 3rd December, namely Mr. and Mrs. Mack from Hoobly.

Our native pastor, Mr. Sebastian Furtado, who is entrusted with

the care of the branch-congregation at Utchila, which numbers 82 souls,

[¢

had the joy to witness and lead an interesting movement among the

heathens of the place towards Christianity.

1]

29

Several families declared their readiness to join us and attended divine

service.

But one of them drew back in consequence of the obstinacy of his

sons, another was removed to a distant village with his wife and children and

that—we are told—on the instigation of a Roman Catholic.

At last only two

men stood firm in spite of the opposition of their families, indeed one of them

has succeeded in winning over to his side a number of his relatives at another

place (vide Oodapy Report).

Two years back one or two families in the out-station Santeor had

publicly thrown away the shackles of heathenism and were anxiously wait-

ing for baptism. But it could not at that time be administered to them,

as the paucity of labourers rendered a regular preparatory instruction

impracticable at so distant a place. Meantime they have wonderfully stood

the test, in suffering a great amount of persecution and temptation with-

out wavering.

Now at length in the last year, as soon as a new cate-

chist was available, the cheering and blessed work among those dear

well-tried people was allotted to him; and after Mr. Ménner himself

had managed to spend some time in their midst, they at last received

the longed for seal of their faith on the 25th of August in that same

Bhuta-room, where the fore-man of the little band had done sacerdotal

his

service to the idol in the days of his ignorance, and which had been

fod

transformed into a place of Christian worship during the past two years.

With this head-man, who now bears the name of Abraham, were bap-

tay

Y

tized, his wife, his married son (but without the latter’s wife and

he

children, who were still kept back from him), and another man, (who

by this very step lost his wife, who was given to another in marriage).

all

About the same time three other men came forward, openly avowing their

belief in Christ and declaring their determination to join His church; and as

the

an earnest of it they handed over all their idols, 17 in number, to the Missionary.

)00

They also had to encounter a most vigorous opposition from their numerous

-

relations, who came in multitudes from all quarters and tried their utmost to

shake the resolution of the new comers.

10

One began indeed to waver, but the

firmness of the other set him right again.

could not but tell disadvantageously upon the institution; but it was

It is indeed a great mercy, that the grave offence was not productive

The Missionaries of this place and their families enjoyed with one

iy

kept remarkably aloof from the influence of modern progress and

speediness of action.

The congregation of the oldest out-station Gudde, has caused us

much sorrow and grief in consequence of a quarrel about an inheritance,

in which the chief men were involved.

But the young out-station Shirwa

gave us much comfort and joy during the whole of the past year.

On the 22d September this congregation was again increased by the

baptism of five persons, viz: an old father bent by the weight of

60 years, with his aged wife, his son 25 years old, a married grand-

daughter and the brother of the latter.

As they were members of the

family, which were first baptized, at the place, the joy of the little flock

was the greater and deeper.

Another joy fell to the lot of this station, the Lord granting them an off-

shoot out-station, which, however, at present consists only of catechumens.

A candidate for baptism at Utchila, withdrawing from the stern opposition of

his relatives settled down at Kattupady near Oodapy, where he likewise had

relations.

His appearance at first roused the same excitement and opposition

against him at the new place; after some months of patient endurance, how-

ever, he succeeded, by the wonderful grace of God, in gaining his opponents

over to his side, so much so that now 26 persons have presented themselves as

candidates for baptism, and are under Christian instruction; a former Bhuta or

demon-temple, the property of some of the people serving the Missionary as

an abode and place of worship.

After repeated interruptions this station was re-occﬁpied at the

beginning of last year, by two new brethren, sent from Kurope ex-

pressly for this destination.

They found there the necessary accom-

modation for themselves and their catechists and also a chapel; but

th

there were no Christians except those few, whom they brought with

fo

e

them. As they were, during this their first year, almost exclusively

engaged in the study of the language and could scarcely venture on

preaching to the heathen population, the Mission work was left to the

il

catechist and evangelist, stationed there.

al

In the population of Honore the brethren did not meet with en-

couraging signs; they bitterly felt the icy chilliness and indifference of

b

the people to their message, and could not yet discover one single

4

inquiring soul. But in the surrounding country the catechists generally

li

found a good and sometimes joyful, yea thankful reception.

We regret to record Mr. Kaufmann as the only representative of

but

the Coorg Mission, Mr. Hakn, with his family, having left Anandapoor

for Bettigherry on the 5th of April, after having roofed over the new

Thank be to God—Mr,

, 0D

Kaufmann’s health was just sufficient to enable him to discharge his

the

multifarious dutics, though for two months he had to take a change of

air with his family,

en-

As to the Congregation we have to confess a numerical retrogres-

g of

sion and to account for it—we are sorry to say—not only by the emi-

pgle

gration of several members to other stations of ours and the morta-

ally

lity surpassing the number of births, but also by the declension from

g0l

Christianity of as many as 12 people. In some cases it was the result

But

of prolonged matrimonial quarrels.

But it grieved us to the quick to

e f0

see one family forsake the Lord eVi‘dently with the intention of escap-

ing His chastisements, which, they thought, they discerned in the great

mortality among the Christians during the last years and especially in

the death of the most respected Eider, named Mark.

Not only the

death of this man produced the deepest impression upon the congrega-

tion, but his whole life exercised the greatest influence upon them.

We, therefore, think ourselves justified in communicating a brief sketch

of his life.

In his youth Mark had been in the service of the last Coorg Rajah, having

to provide his elephant with daily food.

After the conquest of the country by

the English and the banishment of the Rajah, Mark had to earn his livelihood

as a common cooly, and as such we find him among the workmen, whom Dr.

Mbgling had employed in building the chapel at Almanda; and there he received

)

34

-

his first impressions of the necessity of a conversion to Christ.

He was soon

of

a regular attendant of Dr. Mogling’s divine services and subsequently received

r

baptism with 42 others from his despised and degraded caste (Hollayar). Though

they were no longer slaves according to law, their Coorg master found means

to restrict their personal liberty and hinder the free exercise of their Christian

juil

worship.

The infant congregation, therefore, expressed the desire to secure

T

their perfect independence by the acquisition and cultivation of fields of their

Fe

own. This led finally to their settling down in Anandapoor, where they found

fe

extensive, but waste rice-fields, which Mr. Kaundinya appropriated for their

benefit. Mark, who had a sharp eye and sound judgement, was chiefly the man,

who found out the right place for the settlement; and when, afterwards, it was

found necessary to select one of their own number, who was familiar with all

their little affairs, to superintend the young unsettled community, just recovered

from a half-barbarous condition; the unanimous voice of the people voted Mark

for this post.

And indeed, they could not have made a better choice.

For he

was superior to all of them in his character and talents.

He was the acknow-

ledged chief and representative of the community in their secular affairs. Subse-

quently he was made an Elder of the congregation and became as such a great

help to the pastor in spiritual concerns also. Such was his influence and autho-

rity, that we could scarcely get one of our men to do any secular work for us,

if he discountenanced it, or that, if any abuse in the congregation was to be abo-

lished or any sacrifice to be imposed on them, his weighty word was indis-

pensable, and sufficient.

This influence was exercised not by words of strict

command, nor by eloquent argumentation, but by the clearness of a practical

intellect and determination in prosecuting his aims.

He used to express his

thoughts in short and abrupt sentences only.

On his inward spiritual life,

however, he was very reserved. Not even on his dying bed did he open his

heart.

But from his zeal for the real welfare and respectable conduct of the

congregation, as well as from his own consistent life, his successful abstinence

from former vices, and for other reasons we may judge, that a work of grace

was going on in his heart.

He died of inflammation of the lungs at the age

of 52 years.

Mr. Kaufmann was absent on a preaching tour; he had scen him

e

on his sick bed before his departure, but did not anticipate, that he had only

three days more to live.

e

His son, the schoolmaster of the willage school, since February

good working order, has, though still a young man, been created the

Besides administering to his congregation, Mr. Kaufmann, as the

8

only C‘oorg Missionary, considers it his peculiar duty to spare as much

We heartily regret to be obliged to designate this station year by

i

year as the most barren of all, and feel deep sympathy with the

nly

brethren, to whom it has been allotted to labour on such a field. The

Lord, however, does not leave them altogether without comfort and

a7y

refreshment. One source of consolation has, during the past year (as

nto

previously), been the privilege of preaching to the prisoners in the

Itha

Jail the liberty, which is in Christ. They were again made instru-

mental in bringing the shining light of the Gospel to several doomed

the

sinners, to brighten up the dark path of a criminal's death or the

gloomy prospects of a banishment for life.

llCh

We beg to subjoin some extracts from Mr. Krauss’s letters:

Being very much dejected at the complete apathy of the population of

fo

Dharwar, Mr. Krauss was called one day to the jail, where a Lingaite, con-

e

demned to transportation, was longing for Christian instruction.

At the first,

a number of from 10 to 15 fellow-prisoners joined; but, the novelty having

o

passed away, these fell off altogether after a few weeks with the exception of

two men, who with the man first mentioned continued his most attentive “dis-

me

ciples,” as they called themselves.

In their desolate condition, it was no

he

difficult task to convince them of the utter vanity and sinfulness of idolatry

g0l

and Hinduism, as well as of their need of salvation through Christ. The

ba

Lingaite, in a short time, learned to read his New Testament and was brought

00

to a joyful confession of his faith in Jesus.

It was not so easy, however, to

an

bring him to acknowledge the necessity of baptism.

“Did he not already

believe in the one true and living God, and was not that quite enough?” At

80

last he learned to understand it and asked for baptism, which he received with

ol

his two believing fellow-prisoners.

In the beginning of October Mr. Krauss

Su

wrote about them as follows: “I am visiting them daily and spending truly

blessed hours with them.

hin

They rejoice in their Saviour and regard His peace

as their highest treasure.

Af

Today I administered the Lord’s Supper to them

for the first time.

We were indeed, richly blessed and vividly realised the

o

communion with the Lord and His believe1~$.

Only a few days are left to

wh

them on this place; on the 15th instant, they are to be transported to the

Andamans.

As they never went beyond the horders of their villages, they

naturally look forward to the event with anxiety, which is, however, in some

th

measure allayed by their inward peace.

They are often mocked by their

JUf:

comrades, because they were not set free in consequence of their becoming

at

Christians. But they would reply: “Transportation is no longer dreadful to us;

e

for our home is not here, but above.

Wherever we may go, our God is with

ma,

us; and when we die, Jesus Christ will take us to Himself, into His heavenly

/

kingdom.”

Besides, Mr. Krauss speaks of a fourth baptism in the jail, as well as of

regular instruction given to a man, who, being sentenced to death, had only to

live ten days longer.

In the ntmost anxiety of mind he would exclaim: “I

have served Shiva so long, and now, when I have to die, I find myself utterly

forsaken; all is dark before me; no way leading me to salvation.”

After_some

days he learned something of the way of the malefactor on the cross.

“Never

will I thirk any more of my idols” he would say, I will only pray to Jesus,

that He may forgive my sins and save me.”

The population of Dharwar turning a deaf ear to the Gospel,

Mr. Krauss considers it his special duty, to carry his message to distant

parts.

But during the past year he was often prevented from doing

whom he deemed unpromising members, cheered him and proved to

him, that there is a great difference between the death of even such

and of the heathen, and encouraged him to go on working without

wearying even among those, with whom the seeds seem to have fallen

by the way side or among thorns. Some extracts from a letter of one

of our catechists on the life of one, whom we could regard as a pillar

of our Congregation, but whom we have lost by death during the last

year, may not be without interest.

Simon was baptized in the beginning of 1852.

Like his father he had

learned the trade of a gold-smith and had acquired uncommon proficiency in

it

At the first all his former customers drew back from him, which brought

him into no little strait.

But gradually their anger gave way to the considera-

tion of their own interest; for nobody could furnish such exquisite workman-

ation

ship and of nobody were they so sure, that he would never cheat them, as of

him.

ories

To test him they had taken some pieces of finery, bought from him, to

other gold-smiths, who, on investigating them and learning their prices, were

)631

quite amazed, and laying their hand upon their mouth, exclaimed: “the age of

justice seems to have come back again.”

Thus he belied the old proverb:

“although rice were changed into gold, the gold-smith could not cease stealing.”

Neither did he indulge in vain talk with his customers, but used every opportu-

Being chosen an Elder, the affairs of the church cost him much time and labour ;

but he discharged his duties with joy for the Lord’s sake, and to make up for

the time, which he sacrificed to the church, he often worked at his trade during

hoth

the night. Nor did he become weary of his labours in behalf of others, after

he was bereaved of his wife and children, and brought so low by reiterated

fuck

attacks of fever, that he was emaciated like a skeleton.

Never was a word of

complaint or murmuring heard to proceed from his mouth. And he was always

ready to assist by word or deed whosoever asked his advice or help. He was

therefore, when sitting at his trade, continually surrounded by a number of

et

day’s illness, he was dying in peace and quietness, and while the Missionary

was recommending his soul into the Father’s hands, the tears of the bystanding

body was committed to the earth, many heathens were present and were heard

saying to each other: “Again a good man has passed away; gold has its prize

b

bat this man had a higher one.” But more than they, the Christian congregation

felt with the deepest sorrow, what they had lost.

His memory will be blessed.

As regards our work among the heathen, the Gospel was regularly

preached in some places of the town, especially from the newly esta-

blished Book-shop, and due attention paid to the population of our two

out-stations (Hebsoor and Unakallu)and other places in the neighbour-

hood. But as to tours to a greater distance—it was only possible for

Mr. Huber to make one, in the beginning of the year; but his catechists

were able to do more in this way.

“We cannot complain,” Mr. Huber reports, “of an unfriendly reception at any

place, nay in a neighbouring village we were always most urgently invited,

and, if we failed to make our appearance within the wished for time, we were

sometimes greeted with reproaches.

Nevertheless they could not yet come to a

decision for Christ.”

The Boys’ Boarding School, which is also attended by day-scholars

£va

from the congregation, was under Mr. Mack’s superintendence. A re-

e

duction in the number of pupils has taken place; but the results of the

of T

instruction under their present native teachers, as exhibited at the ex-

ney

amination at the end of the year, were highly satisfactory.

ago the leader of this party took courage to receive baptism, and was

in the last year followed by three other members, a father and his two

8S0Ons.

Thenceforth the baptized and unbaptized members were united

in prayer without any distinction in the same memorable temple, till

the Mission built a school-house, whereupon the meeting was trans-

ferred to this more congenial locality.

The Missionaries have spent 58 happy days, and the Catechists 41 amongst

this remarkable congregation.

There could be seen, among a number of un-

baptized believers, the three headmen of the village mingling with the few native

Christians and the European Missionary, all of them eagerly feeding upon, and

rejoicing with all their hearts in one and the same word of life.

“If you look

at them,” Mr. Roth says, “you wonder, why the majority of them still hesitate to

be baptized. It is strange indeed; and they fully perceive themselves, that

they cannot remain as they are, and yet they linger. If you ask for the reason,

by

they all will answer with a sigh: Alas! the caste! They are all of them in

When Danappa and Satjappa were baptized, their wives fled from them, chiding

and abusing them, and took some of their children with them. They returned—

Besides his visits in the vicinity Mr. Thumm made several preach-

ing tours to a distance. First from the 19th to the 26th of January

1 0n¢

he was itinerating during the festival of Illacall, which is about 27

miles to the south-east of Gooledgood.

The object of his second tour

penly

(from the bth to 10th February) was to reach Suribani about 36 miles

7 the

aver

to the south-west, but he was detained on his way by some eagerly

inquiring souls in Badam: and was called back to Gooledgood before

after

he could reach his destination.

His ¢hird tour (from the 26th to the

teats

13th March) he made in the company of Mr. Wiirth, who was on his

ipon

home-journey and used the opportunity, as far as the borders of the

el &

Canarese country, to preach—for the last time—the name of Christ to

the Hindus.

Mr. Thumm’s fourth journey was to the south, when he

oted

again visited Badami, where the Lord had thrown open a door on his

1ing

second tour.

There is a number of inquirers in that town (Badami), one of whom, having

experienced an answer to his prayer in a severe sickness, had vowed, he would

heartened him. The whole body of these inquirers are, however, keeping up an

intercourse with the Missionary at Gooledgood.

they would say, “only not burned enough as yet, but it will surely come to that.”

We can scarcely refrain from mentioning another most touching incident,

which occurred on his (Mr. Thumm’s) first preaching tour at Illacall.

writes on it as follows:

“One evening in passing by a Matha (Hindu convent), 1 was requested to

Not willing to be prevented from preaching in the Bazaar to which I

was going, I promised to look in on my return.

But on their urging me, I at

15 {0

last consented.

When I entered into the inner court-yard, I found myself in

this

an assembly of more than 150 men, who courteously greeted me and led me

olat

into a hall, where they offered me a chair. ~Suddenly a'small tahle was placed

before me with a book on it; and how great was my astonishment, when I saw

the whole of the Canarese Bible, of the large size, lying before me. On opening

from our dear brother J. Miiller late of Hoobly, on the 15th of December 1862.

ings

Never bad I had such an opportunity, nor had I ever been requested in such

aed

an energetic way to preach Christ.

I did so with great joy, asking Him to put

fl

the right words in my mouth, that I might be ecnabled to glorify His great name.

iy

still

I preached from Acts 4, 12.

(“Neither is there salvation in any other; for

there is none other name under heaven” etc.) When I had concluded,

several questions were asked by the people; one of which was: whether I could

e

46

prove from the Bible, that we were really cormmanded to make all men Christians.

I answered: the passage read and explained before, might justly he taken as a

proof; but I would show them another proof still more direct, namecly Matt. 28,

18—20., which passage was acknowledged by the man who had put the question

(the proprietor of the Matha) as being quite to the point.

Meanwhile, my

travelling companions (viz: the catechist and several churchmembers, who were

accompanying me of their own accord) had entered, and two of them addressed

the assembly in short speeches. It was after nightfall, when we returned to our

tent, thanking the Lord for this excellent opportunity of proclaiming His name,

and praying for a gracious shower upon the seed sown to make it fruitful.”

In conclusion we may add the general notice, that in this District

the European Missionaries spent 110 days, the catechists 96, and other

churchmembers 44 in itinerating.

As the preceding, so the past year also had to witness a succession

of changes in the body of European laborers. During the first months

the congregation enjoyed-the services of Mr. Convert, who, after only

six months’ renewed labour in India, had to embark for Europe in April

on account of his broken health. The care of the congregation now

fell on Mr. Hanhart, who thereby was—to his great regret — prevent-

ed from his favorite duty, itinerating.

Before that time Mr. Walter,

located in the out-station Chowa, had left the place for a time to assist

Mr. Diez at Palghaut; which necessitated Mr. Gundert's transfer from

Cannanore to Chowa. The latter by order of the Home-Committee

Meanwhile, another change had taken place: our veteran. Mr. Fritz

of Calicut, in obedience to an order of the Committee, had entered upon

“fe

this station and assumed charge of the congregation on the 30th of

September.

Thereby Mr. Hanhart was to be set free for preaching

to the heathen, though he is as yet bound to the station (Chowa) to

The Congregation, with its branches in Taliparambu, Chiracal and

of t

Chowa, could not but have sorely felt these continual alterations.

But

& 0

we thank the Lord, that He has watched over this flock and kept them

C18

together. - It is indeed a great advantage to the station to be provided

opir

with a goodly band of faithful catechists, who, though destined for the

dist

heathen, are of course a blessing to the Christians also.

By this event the cup of joy of our old Isracl, her brother, was full, after

he had in the previous year seen his son Joseph reunited with him as a member

of the spiritual Israel.

The paramount feeling of his heart might indeed be

plir

well expressed by the words of his namesake of old: “Now let me die, since

sak

my son Joseph is yet alive”.

He suffered painfully from consumption for

Plag

several months; but as he had always gone on his way quietly, after he knew

Christ, so he bore his last sufferings also with silent patience, never murmuring

gla

even under the most acute pain, and heartily rejoicing at the glorious prospect

before him.

One of the last earthly joys allotted to him was the marriage of

happy day he rapidly sank, whilst his longing for the dissolution of his earthly

and

tabernacle and to be present with Christ was increased.

When he was asked,

the :

whether he was assured of the forgiveness of his sins, he joyfully answered:

“Oh yes, I have not the least doubt!” One sorrow, however, he had, namely

for the salvation of his wife, who, he feared; had not yet entirely given up her

the

heart to the Lord.

There was, therefore, no lack of touching exhortations to

ik et

ing

her, to flee for refuge to the Lord Jesus.

Addressing himself to his son he said:

Puof

“for you I have no sorrow, only do not forget, that you have merely made a

beginning in the service of the Lord ; ‘strive carnestly to learn Him more fully.”

_49

S L

Valte:

To his newly baptized sister he said: “you do not yet know any thing of the

eat,

word of God; but go on learning diligently, renounce sin, seek the truth, and

bring up your children in the fear of God.”

In this way having taken leave

stance

of his family, old Israel gathered up his feet into the bed and yielded up the

er 1

ghost, whilst his new daughter-in-law was praying with him, on Easter Even.

The days of his pilgrimage did not attain to the 147 years of Israel of old, but

[ upon

still he had reached the 67th year of his age.

He might have said with him:

“few and evil have the days of my life been;” but the later years at least, and

A better spirit, more obe-

I

This station may be regarded as the head-quarters of Itinerancy i

the District,in as much as the “¢ravelling Missionary” (Mr. Hanhart)

and the Stravelling catechist” (Abraham Mulil) are both residing at

this place. And they have both devoted whatever time they could

spare to this their peculiar calling, traversing the northern part of

Malabar in different directions.

Before Mr. Convert’s departure

Mr. Hanhart visited in January Madai, Payanoor, Kawai, Nanoor

]0%

Kariwelloor, Kunyamangalam, Edodu and Ramentaly; in February

Anjarkandy and environs, as well as the heathen festivals at Payawoor

§

and Pattuwem; in March the festival of Taliparambu, from whence

f

he returned to Anjarkandy, to complete the work of the foregoing

i

month.

As soon as he was relieved from the charge of the congre-

I

gation by Mr. Fritz’s arrival, he again set out for Taliparambu. At

fi

other times during the year he applied himself to domiciliary visits

in the surroundings of Cannanore, as much as his other duties permit-

ted him to do. He makes these general remarks in one of his letters:

“As a rule, we had the best reception from the Tiers, and the worst from

Brahmins and Maplas (Mohammedans). I would not imply, that all the mem-

bers of these two parties opposed us as enemies; indeed many of them, to our

great joy, showed much interest in our preaching; and especially a good many

women evinced great pleasure at the message of the Gospel, which was quite

new to them. But in general, these parties are certainly not our friends, nor

will they become so, till the spirit of God awakes their darkened hearts to new

life and light.

The Maplas still are the farthest from us.

They have no ear

for the Gospel, they hate it with all their hearts and deem it not worth the

trouble to make themselves in the least acquainted with it.

Though there are

even amongst them some few, who show some little interest in the truth, there

is no lack of others, who would strain every nerve to stifle any germ of better

feeling, which might spring up in their co-religionists. They are indeed a

poor benighted people, who, like their forefather Ismael, know only too well

how to mock.” But on the part of other classes Mr. H. met with many examples

of a glad reception and a hungering after a better righteousness, than Hinduism

can lead to.

and invaluable help rendered to us in spreading the life-giving Word

one with tracts and the other with Bibles, whilst a third one carries

his Bibles to the Wynaad. The middle part of the District is visited

fony

by a tract colporteur from Zellickerry and a Bible colporteur from

hay

Chombala, and lastly the South of the District has its colporteurs in

Calicut and Palghaut. On the whole, we may bear testimony to the

great activity and zeal of our cclporteurs, to which, under God’s bless-

ing, i

S

t may be principally owing, that the results of our Bible colport-

age have been declared by the Madras Auxiliary Bible Society to be

about the best in the presidency. With a hungering for the Word of God

our colporteurs rarely meet.

School-books generally find a ready sale,

but as soon as a Bible is produced, people turn away with disdain,

saying: with your new religion we will have nothing to do! Roman

53

o

Catholics very often prove the greatest enemies of the Bible. But even

from amongst them the Lord has lately granted cheering fruit to the

colportage.

A Roman Catholic, employed as a writer in a plantation in Wynaad, pur-

chased a New Testament from our colporteur, a most unostentatious, but

faithful and humble man. This brought to the writer much scorn from the peo-

ple, and aroused the anger of his master, who threatened him and the colporteur

with a variety of things.

Nevertheless both found means to converse further

on the great topics, which had impressed the heart of the Roman Catholic most

deeply. At last he took leave for some time, and presented himself to the

Missionaries at Cannanore asking for instruction in the Gospel and admission

into the Protestant Church. Both were granted him, after we had satisfied

ourselves as to the honesty of his motives.

Hoping to bring his family, he re-

turned to his home rejoicing, though he would most likely have to renounce

11

his lucrative employment.

In conclusion, a few remarks are due to our Weaving Establishment,

0

which (with its branch establishment at Tellicherry) is flourishing under

11

the good direction of Mr. Schoch.

It has sorely felt the cotton crisis

of the last years, but passed through it without having had to dismiss

(e

any of its workmen.

It affords the means of subsistence to as many

as a hundred persons (children included). Its manufactures found their

)y 10

ol

way to the Exhibition at Calicut last year, where the first prices were

ord

awarded for its Table cloths, Table napkins, Towels, Cotton clothing,

Checks, Drills ete. But we regret, that Government intends to introduce

epot

fury

a weaving establishment among the prisoners of the “Central Jail,”

16

and will thus make competition with private enterprise, which may

ited

turn out to the serious disadvantage of the latter, Government not

having to reckon, as private persons have.

The Congregation has increased but little. Among the 14 baptisms

of the year there were only b baptisms of heathens, and amongst these

only one adult. The latter is a man of good family from the fishermen’s

village, in the prime of life, and well versed in Hindu literature. He

had long known and loved the Gospel and openly confessed it to his

hery,

companions.

He was baptized on Christmas Day.—The past year,

though barren of visible fruits, was not without encouragement.

For instance a most respectable heathen, learned in Hindu wisdom, long

known to us and acquainted with the Gospel, but making no outward profession

of faith, not even before us, was laid on his dying bed and called f6r the Mis-

sionary to pray with him.

When asked: to which God do you want me to

pray? he exclaimed in the presence of a whole assembly of heathen relations,

appt

friends and neighbours:

“Your God is my God, and your Saviour is my

Saviour.

I believe in Him, though I have done nothing to prove it.”

And

when the Missionary had commended his soul to Him who had bought it with

His blood, and was about to leave the house, the pressure of the man’s hand

bespoke the deepness of his gratitude, whilst he promised, to keep in mind the

name of the Lord Jesus alone until his end.

And he did so indeed; he had

evidently forgot all his heathen erudition and dwelled constantly, even in his

delirious dreams, on reminiscences from the word of God. When the Missionary

He hoped still, to obtain some respite, so

that he might make some arrangements in his family, and then receive baptism.

But this was not granted to him. He died soon after this last visit of the Mis-

sionary. A- similar instance was brought to our knowledge of a youth, who

Mr. Ch. Miiller of Tellicherry, the founder of this station and spiritual

0f

father-of Paul delivered the ordination-sermon from Rev. 3, 11.; after which,

alf

i

according to the custom of our Chureh, Paul Chandren himself stood forth to

give to the numerous assembly a brief sketch of his life.

In his accustomed

humble way pointing to the low caste, from which he had sprung, he showed

€1

how the Lord had always respect to the lowly and poor, that it might be mani-

Wl

fest, that it is by the grace of God, we are what we are.

The sacred ceremony

was then performed by the senior Missionary of the District, Mr. J. M. Fritz.

The day was indeed a season of refreshment not only for this, but for our

0

kit

Malabar congregations in general, which were all strongly represented on the

oceasion.

On the morrow, the new deacon set out for a preaching tour to

10

Angedipuram.

On the whole we saw to our great joy, that he was resolved

to

in no wise to suffer himself to be diverted from his former humble and simple

10

habits by the new position to which he was raised.

His additional salary only

affords a wider scope to his charity. May the blessing of the Lord henceforth

rest upon the work of our aged brother in the eve of his life!

The Congregation indeed offers ample opportunity for charity, there

being many poor amongst them. It was therefore, a most welcome

help, when a sum of money was handed over to the Missionary by a

friend to be employed in procuring tools and materials of labour for

the most destitute; and he exerted himself to find out suitable employ-

ment for them. Some of them, however, grieved him by their want of

assiduity. The increase of church-members is only two, though three

heathens were added to the congregation by baptism.

One of these is a respectable man of Kuttipuram, a place some twelve miles

distant.

The germ of faith was first laid in him through the colporteur and

reading of the New Testament, and was cherished by occasional visitors from

Chombala. After having waited for his wife and children for 5 months in vain,

he at last took the great step alone, though with their full approbation; and

presented himself at his place as a candidate for baptism, which, after due pre-

paration, was unhesitatingly performed on the 15th September. -He evinced

great eagerness of heart and quickness of intellect.

Suprien—such was his

Il of

new name—accompanied by the Missionary and the deacon, returned to his

fear

home the day after his baptism rejoicing at what he had found, but with heavi-

the

ness of heart at what he might have to encounter.

It was indeed no light matter

to feel himself treated as an outcast in the place, where he was formerly highly

i

respected, yea to be shunned by his own wife and children, though they had

hfal

i

formerly encouraged him.

He was requested to leave his house and village

for

again, which they said, was now no longer his home.

But when the Mis-

sionary showed, them that they had neither right nor power, to deprive him

tnal

of his property, they at length reluctantly submitted to what they could not

alter.

Still he was long sorely tried by his isolated position.

The feeling of

ich

bitterness is now, however, cooling down.

I to

Another of the three baptized was a brother to one of our old church-memb-

ned

ers.

Twelve years ago he was on his way to Chombala to ask for baptism,

ved

when he was seized near the bridge of Mahé by some men and persuaded,

Al

partly by insinuating words, partly by tinkling silver, and partly by force im-

o1y

mediately to embark for Bourbon (Mauritius) as a cooly. But the poor man,

il

on his arrival there, found himself not a cooly, but a slave except in name; and

Qur

was not set free till he had lost his arm in a machine, when he was sent back

the

to Pondicherry, from which place he proceeded as soon as possible to Chombala,

to seek out his brother and to fulfil the intention, in which he had been so

roughly interrupted 12 years ago.

The event most telling upon this station, was the

departure of

liy

Mr. Fritz, who was removed to Cannanore by order of the Committee

It was indeed painful to the congregation which had been gathered in

(07

by him, as well as to his fellow-labourers, to see our aged and experi-

fo

enced brother, the senior of our Malabar Mission, and the founder of

L

this station, taking up his travelling staff and leaving the place, where

Wl

the Lord had during a quarter of a century richly blessed his labours

1t}

and which also was doubly endeared to him by the trials he had sus-

th

tained and by its being the resting-place of his dear ones, who are

I¢

waiting for a glorions resurrection morn

His departure took place

Di

in the end of September

Mr. Schaufiler, who bad charge of the se-

i\

cular affairs of the District in addition to his station duties, was pre-

Da

viously over-burdened and became more so after the departure of his

\

elder fellow-labourer

Three other names of Missionaries—it is true—

appear on the list, but Mr. Lauger’s time and strength was fully en-

hi

gaged in the Carpenter-Establishment

and the other two brethren,

——————

Mr. Schauffler’s difficulty was enhanced by internal storms break-

ing out in the second half of the year (shortly before Mr. Fritz's de-

B)

parture), and shaking the whole congregation to its foundations. The

apparent occasion of it was an accusation of adultery made to the pres-

bytery against the weaving maistry. The complaint appeared to have

been taken advantage of, if not originated by party hatred, and was

at length dismissed by the presbytery as unproved.

The ill-feeling

was now turned against the latter and especially against Mr. Schauffler,

who was accused of partiality.

The counter-party brought the case

before the magistrate, who, however, dismissed it as being unfounded,

though they had spared no expense, nor had they shrunk from using

every means even oaths, evidently false, thereby bringing disgrace upon

the holy name they profess, before heathens and Mohammedans. Nor

had an appeal to the English Judge any other result, than a confirma-

tion of the presbytery’s verdict.

By this sad history, which does not

yet appear to be at an end the thoughts of many hearts have been re-

vealed in a fearful way. May the Lord give them repentance, and de-

) of

liver us from the wicked!

tee

Yet we have good reason to believe, that Aoly seed is left in our

Iin

congregation, a number of souls whom the Lord has chosen and sealed

I

to be His. And as long as such are with us, we cannot despond. The

of

Lord has also comforted the hearts of the brethren by giving them to

¢16

witness some souls pluckved as brands out of the burning. In addition,

118,

nine persons joined them from the heathen, and were an earnest to

them, that God had not yet withdrawn His hand from them. Another

The Christian settlement in the remote Malapuram, which had

hitherto been administered to by the Calicut Missionaries, was broken

)

up daring the last year, in consequence of the transfer to Tellicherry

elly

of Mr. Francis, who had been the employer of the people. The con-

0

gregation of railway-employers at Beypore has dwindled down, like-

62

wise in consequence of removals so that Divine service is now only

held each other Sunday in the library room of the Railway Station.

An ample opportunity of proclaiming the Gospel to crowds of

people, was afforded to Missionaries and catechists by the Exhibition

of industrial and agricultural products at Calicut. We can bear witness

to much zeal evinced by our catechists on this and other oceasions.

The Anglo-Yernacular School, which had been abolished by our

Committee in consequence of the pupils having annually left for the

Government Provincial School, was re-opened during the past year

under much better auspices, inasmuch as the lower classes of the

Government school had been cut off, whereby our school will gain more

stablity. Thus we have good reason to hope, that most of our scholars

will continue for three years under the influence of the Gospel, which

Turning from the history of storm-tossed Calicut, we feel relieved

hich

by the quietness, which marks the past year’s history of this station

b

fion

where scarcely any incident worthy of note has occurred, but the mar-

pof

riage of the lonely Missionary.

anfs

A year ago the congregation, which consisted almost exclusively

of rice-agriculturists, had

bad—for the first time during several

gre-

years—a good rice-harvest and could therefore enter upon the last

hich

year with less anxiety than usual.

But we are sorry to add, that the

the

prospects for the present year are darkened by another scanty harvest.

the

The congregation has again had an accession by the baptism of 10

heathens.

The Missionary was refreshed by the lively interest mani-

fested by the congregation in weekly prayer-meetings, which he insti-

tuted first in their houses, and then, from want of room, had transferred

into the Mission house.

The attendance of Divine services in the

branch-congregation at Parappery also was cheering.

Happily or

unhappily the room was scarcely sufficient.

The congregation is now rejoicing at the prospect of obtaining a

chapel.

The building, which was hitherto, though improperly, called

a chapel, is a dismal, obscure place, has long become too small for the

ever-increasing congregation, and is now fast falling into decay. The

Committee at Basel seeing the urgent necessity, had promised Rs. 2000

towards the erecting of a chapel, provided that an equal sum could be

collected in this country. But their financial embarrassment renders

it impossible for them to fulfil their promise.

An appeal to Christian

————

64

liberality was responded to by the collection of a sum amounting to

Rs. 1150-2-4 up to the 21st January 1868, for which we wish to

tender our hearty thanks in the name of the congregation. But still the

fund is unequal to the estimate of the building which is Rs. 4000. The

congregation itself joyfully promised to contribute Rs. 100 by the end

of the year, which is indeed all that can be expected from such a poor

community.*®

The Parochial School is in good condition.

The two catechists traversed the country in different directions, and

observe, that their message was more willingly accepted towards the

South, than towards the North.

This station has never seen such an agitated year; yea we may

with good reason say: the Missionaries had to fight a pitched battle

during the whole of it; gathering up all their forces against the

enemy’s arranged and determined armies, pressing onward and being re-

buffed, conquering and being defeated, suffering severe losses and being

reinforced by reserves.

To look first at the combatants on the Lord’s

side,—MTr. Diez, who had charge of the station, at the end of the pre-

ceding year, lost his fellow-labourer Mr. Buchmiiller by death, and re-

ceived in compensation Mr. Walter of Chowa, who arrived at this place

in February and was subsequently relieved by Mr. Gundert of Canna-

nore, who was permanently stationed at Palghaut.

But the heaviest

blow fell on the station, when Mr. Diez’s iron constitution began to

give way under his extraordinary exertions, and he saw himself, after

some hesitation compelled to abandon all work and leave the station

altogether on the 21st November, committing the prosecution of the

G

~

combat into the hands of Mr. Gundert. Unremitting Missionary labour

ol t0-

of 16 years, fourrof which he had spent at Palghaut, added to the ex-

9

66

traordinary exertion of the last two years, and lastly some bitter and

sha

depressing disappointment during the past year had over-taxed even

Ro

his strength. His chest appeared seriously affected; and totally dis-

to

abled from work he is at the present time (March) embarking for

of

Europe, but he cleaves to the hope of soon returning to his old battle-

field, from which he was hurried away, just when his service was

deg

most needed.

In consequence of his departure, Mr. Walter had to

hasten back again to the aid of Mr. Gundert.

had

the joyful celebration of a baptism:

From the time, when our school was established, a man of the Ilawer caste

it

named Kuntchw evinced great interest in the word of God. He was soon, like

118

many others of his caste, satisfied, that there is only one way to salvation and

that this way is not to he found anywhere but in Christianity ; but unlike others

of

he resolved to go on that way.

In the beginning of January (1867) he signi-

the

fied to Mr. Diez his resolution of becoming a Christian. As soon as his decision

ip-

became known, a fearful storm burst upon him.

Among his former friends,

who now tried their utmost to keep him back, stood foremost one named

te

Palanen, a man of great authority and influence in the country, but an acknow-

the

ledged enemy of the Gospel.

Upon the catechist he poured out a shower of

the

nd

obloquy, and exhausted every means of persuasion and intimidation upon

Kuntchu, who firmly replied: “I am determined to become a Christian, and

em

will not yield a step.”

Upon this defiance of his authority his anger knew no

the

bounds. On pain of excommunication from the caste every body was forbidden

at

to give him or the catechist water or fire, or to render them any service what-

14}

ever. This also was of no effect. His three younger brothers were now instigated

ith

against him, but they answered: “we shall follow him in due time.” The enemies

were not more successful in urging his wife to forsake him with their children.

the three men at Kinnanoor mentioned above stood in the same posi-

tion as the generality of our converts, they would possibly have with-

stood the temptations and persecutions to which they were subjected.

Notwithstanding all the struggles and losses of this year we have

to record an increase of 23 to the number of our congregation. Blessed

be the Lord, who conquereth among his enemies!

We see at present all castes resolutely arrayed against us. The

Brahmins and Nayers are incensed beyond measure, because we dared

to place Christian Ilawers on a level with them. The heathen Ilawers

have bound themselves with other lower castes, not to take any

Christian book from us. This accounts for a temporary deficiency in the

results of colportage during the past year.

point.

Meanwhile, the new Christians took them by surprise, by coming

back and taking possession of their hut, sooner than the people had expected,

Ig=

at a time, when most of them were out in their fields.

Now a village assem-

[

v

bly was convened and came to the resolution of prohibiting the Christians

from using the water of the village.

But they dared not enforce the pro-

aels

hibition.

At length to shut off their huts they made a fence eight feet high,

1l

which, however, put the heathen to much greater inconvenience than the

Christian family. The headman of the village, when he was one day question-

our

ed by the Missionary about the hedge answered: “My people are so very

ere

bad, that they would not have left the Christians unmolested; so I thought

086

it best to have a fence made around them for their protection.” Well, the

-

fact is, that a Christian family resides in the midst of the Badagas a living

witness of the power of Christ; and another fact is, that the fence is nearly

ely

gone, and that a number of heathen youths are in the habit of visiting Jogy,

whose name is now Salomo, every night to be taught by him. All these events

are quite unprecedented among the Badagas and may mark a new period in the

Badaga Mission.

A few weeks after the baptism of the above family a widow from the Toda-

A married daughter of hers had been bap-

her intention was known in her village, the people first tried to retain her by

roof and the other side remained unthatched.

Now intimidation was brought

PREES SR,

School in Achinakallu, which was—as it were—bequeathed to us by

¥

a dying Badaga youth (about 16 years of age).

1t

That youth had long been acquainted with the Missionaries, and became

much attached to them. In the beginning of the past year, he fell seriously ill

but his comfort amidst his sufferings was the Bible.

His parents, therefore,

thought it necessary to guard him, when the Missionary visited him. Still he hoped

to recover so far, as to be able to join the Christian church. But he sank more

and more. Shortly before his end he was removed to a distant place in direct

opposition to his own wish, nominally for a change of air, but in reality to be

beyond our reach. Scarcely had he arrived, when he felt his end approaching.

He then implored his father again and again in the most touching way to send

for the Missionary or evangelist; for he wanted a new name, ere he died; but

this his carnest request met with a refusal. At length he subwmitted, saying:

“I am sure, Jesus knows my name, though I have not obtained a new one; and

I know, Jesus receives sinners.” Thus he died, after he had requested his

father to carry to Mr. Wenger some little messages. The father, as soon as he

came back to Kaity, went to see Mr. Wenger, fell on his knees before him and

wringing his hands cried: “Pardon me! pardon me! I am a great sinner;” and

then he related faithfully all the incidents of his boy’s last days, not even omitt-

ing, that his son’s last request had been, that his younger brother should be

given over to Mr. Wenger in his stead. This request, however, was not fulfilled;

0

but the night-school which the youth had commenced during his last iliness

in his (?xvn house, was made over to the Mission.

It will not be irrelevant here to mention another feature of this

the necessary accommodations for owr Missionary sanitarium.

There

has scarcely been a year, when these localities were unoccupied. But

never were they so crowded as during the whole of the last year. It

may be that we often hesitate too long in coming to the resolution to

Jed;

The small Christian congregation of Kotagherry has long been in

connection with the station of Kaity (16 miles distant), from which

1685

place it was administered to by occasional visits of the Missionaries.

But during the last year the Committee thought it a fit time to raise

it to an independent station, and to entrust it to the care of our veteran

Missionary, Mr. Biikrer, late of Mangalore, whose health had proved

unequal to the climate of the Western Coast.

After a short stay at

Kaity he settled down in his new station on the 27th February 1867 in

his

a rented house close by the place, where Miss Cockburn is building a

vl‘dS

chapel for Badaga Christians, which she most generously intends to

1616

make over to the Basel Mission.

But

Mr. Biihrer had first to apply himself to the acquisition of the

It

Badaga dialect, but soon began to visit the numerous Badaga villages

1t0

in the vicinity.

“We seldom meet” he reports, “with an obstinate opposition; and there is

though there are also such as give to the Gospel a willing hearing and a ready

consent.

Yea now and then one may be heard saying, that there may be a

time, when all Badagas would be Christians.”

A visible fruit Mr. Bithrer has not yet been permitted to gather in.

One Badaga youth indeed, who was employed as a schoolmaster by

Miss Cockburn, appears to be very near the kingdom of God.

But

his parents also observed it and positively interdicted him every inter-

course with us, and compelled him at once to give up his employment.

As a valuable aid of the Mission work, we beg to mention a number

of schools supported by some English friends.

Miss Cockburn sup-

ports, in addition to the Christian Day School, 4 Badaga Night-Schools

and a Koter School (the latter quite a new phenomenon), and gives

the Missionary free access to all these schools.

Mrs. Robinson like-

wise has her four Night-Schools regularly inspected by our catechist

By these schools the Badagas have been aroused to some extent from

their lethargy.

May it be lasting, and result in blessed fruits! and

may the Lord be the great reward of all those, who make sacrifices for

the evangelization of these hill-tribes!

that the heathen are less afraid of committing acts of violence than

before.

It was a cause of much rejoicing to the oldest station Akro-

pong, that a chapel, so long needed and longed for, was erected and

subsequently consecrated.

1. Qur Chinese Mission contains 3 stations and employed 5 Mis-

sionaries in the beginning of 1867.

The oldest station is Lilong, on

the continent opposite to Hongkong.

The latter island contains the

second station, established at a time

had to seek a refuge in

he British dominion.

The reason, which led

to the occupation of Chungsthun in the far interior of the vast empire

(in 1864), was, that, in the wonderful providence of God, upwards of

100 souls had been instructed in the word of God by native instru-

mentality, and were anxiously waiting for our Missionaries to baptize

them.

The two Missionaries settled there were for several years in

constant peril from robbers and rebels, who in large numbers infested

the country. But the Lord has mercifully kept them and their steadily

increasing flock from any serious harm; and now we may add with

great thankfulness, that the Chinese authorities begin to enforce more

decidedly the law for the toleration of European strangers, and at the

same time have taken energetic and sﬁccessful measures towards the

extirpation of robbery, the great plague of that remote country. Each

congregation has had a slight increase, being however only 19 souls

in all. During the last year a ckapel has been built for our Hongkong

congregation.

“At the opening ceremony the Bishop of Hongkong

having kindly consented to be present and address the meetin

o said:

He was glad to assist at this the first ‘missionary meeting’ held since

his arrival in China, and was astonished at the progress which appeared

to have been made in training Chinese.

The singing of Christian hymns

by a Chinese congregation in their own language was, irrespective of

the natural surprise at their being able to take part in Western musie,

a gratifying incident to those, who hoped to see the entire nation, at

some future date, familiar with Christian worship. His Lordship con-

claded a speech of much liberality of feeling by observing, that under-

takings of this nature would always command his hearty good wishes.”

Another independent testimony we may subjoin from the same issue

of a Hongkong Newspaper (Overland China Mail), from which we

copied the above remarks:

auspices of the Basel Mission were opened for Divine Service on Satui-
