THIRTY-SECOND REPORT

OF THE BASEL GERMAN EVANGELICAL MISSION

IN SOUTH-WESTERN INDIA

TSRy 2 ——

MANGALORE

PRINTED BY STOLZ & REUTHER, BASEL MISSION PRESS

1872

%lttr.ohuf,tnrg Aemarks,

We beg our friends to excuse the delay in publishiné our Report. It was

caused by a protracted illness of the compiler.

One of the consequences of this delay has been that the events have overtaken

the description given in the Report.

As far as the lists are concerned we have

as much as possible corrected up to the lst June. And we mark here some of the

Latest news from China and Africa.

In the paragraph about Africa we have told of our captive Missionaries in

Ashante.

Since writing it we have received news that they sent a chieftain to

the king asking for permission to preach in the city.

The king remarked that

he had always wondered why they had their services only in their private house

and did not also preach in public, and granted them full permission to do so in

future.

We have also heard that the king of Ashante demands a ransom of £ 6480

for the captives.

In China the peace which had been enjoyed by our brethren has come to a

sudden end. Our Missionaries in Lilong were obliged to flee suddenly and secretly

as the mob was gathering round their house, and they were informed by the Native

Christians that their lives might be in danger,

Mr. Brigel relates:

In the beginning of 1870 a young mason, now named Gideon, 22 years of

1L (;

age came to me wishing to become a Christian.

His father also was willing

1,7y

to follow his example, but his mother, a very energetic woman, of the name of

13, Q)

Mammale, left in her anger, son and husband, broke off all connexion with them,

14, @

Once she returned to

and lived with a daughter of hers in another village.

15 CC

her husband’s village, but would not go to his house.

Whilst in this village

1, B

she had a severe attack of sickness and at the same time felt a very great fear

x

and remorse, believing that this sickness was a punishment from the true God

’

for her having resisted with such obstinacy her husband and son.

She sent

18k,

for them the very same night and asked their pardon. A Hindu of the neigh-

bourhood able to read and in possession of some Christian books came at her re-

TOI

quest and read to her.

Her mind became composed and she vowed forthwith

De

to forsake her idols and demons and cling to the true God. And she faithfully

In(

\

kept her promise.

In instruction for baptism she was of all the most zealous.

Even when in the monsoon her house was surrounded with water, she would

wade through it never to miss the time of instruction.

though‘t that in such weather he could not expect them to come, she answered:

“Should we miss the word of God for rain’s sake? That would not be right.

We will come.”

She received in baptism the name of Deborah. Her son,

Gideon, is so zealous that he has already caused several of his acquaintances

to follow him, the above-mentioned Hindu neighbour being one of them. Two

of these were baptized with him.

Mr. Daimelhuber relates the following case:

In Mangalore the 17th November 1871 two Christians came to me and asked

me to go at once with them to a house in the town where a woman wished to

become a Christian and asked for a Missionary.

They told me to be quick,

as another party had sent for a Roman Catholic priest.

Our Catechist was

there waiting for us.

When we reached the home, he told us: “It is too late,

she is baptized,” and related that the priest asked the woman: “Do you wish

to become a Christian?” She said: “I will join those who serve the true God.”

Priest: “I will tell you something about the true God. He is the Creator and

Lord and has given us life. But there are two more Gods, Christ and the Holy

Spirit.

Christ came and died for our sins and he left us a prayer in the Latin

language which must be used frequently. There is also a Creed, but you can

learn it afterwards.

Will you now be baptized according to this doctrine?”

She said: “Yes”, whereupon he produced a phial with oil, anointed and ba

ed her.

ptiz-

But her husband Subaya said: I will not join the Roman Catholics, but

your church.”

And two days afterwards, he came to my home, and declared

that he now desired to become a Christian. Seeing that he was very ill-at-ease,

I asked him what he wanted to receive by it? He said: “Peace. I want to he

free from the fear of demons, and you must help me to it.”

In the evening I

went to his house with two Catechists.

We explained to him that only Jesus

can give rest to his soul. He said: “I will join you, and believe in Christ.” We

prayed with him,

Afterwards I asked: “Are there any Bhitas in your house ?”

Subaya: “Yes.”

Catechist: “Are they your property? and what shall be done

with them?” Subaya: “They are mine, and I will put them away.”

I then

asked him to show them.

He brought some articles and bid us follow him.

In the courtyard he took a pickaxe and, without saying a word, began with all

his strength to break down the Thulasikatte

(place with the sacred plant

Thulasi).

In a moment a crowd of 200 men had gathered, and one ran to-

wards him, seized his arm and said: “What are you destroying here?” Subaya:

“I have the right to pull down what I have built.,” Then I interfered and said

to the man: “If Subaya does wrong, go and call the Police, but you must not

hurt him in my presence.”

His elder sister also lamented and accused me as

the author of such a misfortune, saying how it was that I, teacher of good

things, could have caused her brother to act in such a manner.

Subaya did

not listen to her, but proceeded to the house-temple. Finding it locked, he broke

Myr. Diez in Palghaut tells the story of a Mahommedan woman, which

shows the fearful opposition to be expected from Mahommedans.

not stop

A Mahommedan woman of the name of Syad Umma, who had some years

ago been divorced by her husband, heard the Gospel in the market at Karuwa-

Votmithe

ough it

para.

Her heart was opened, and she began to feel her sinfulness and the in-

ponds 0

sufficiency of Mahommed, so that she desired to belong to “Isa Nabi” (Mahom-

medan name for Jesus).

Being asked why she wished to become a Christian

's house

g matti-

she said: “Must I not save my soul? I have done nothing good, only bad, and

and 016

have been very wicked; does not your Bible say that God forgives those who

Jved 0

repent of their wickedness? Should not the heart have assurance that the sins

elatives

are forgiven? I want this assurance and many people say that it can be ob-

g more

tained through your religion only.”

Some days afterwards she was expelled from the Mahommedan house where

of her

she had lived till that time, and was received by the Catechist.

A deputation

ehoral

n T he

of women was sent to tell her that men were not wanting who did not value

their lives, but had courage to kill her.”

As many rumours were afloat that

Kanji

her life and that of the Catechist were in danger, I asked the Tabsildar to enquire

h?-t she

into the matter.

The son of the Tattamanglam Kazi came to take her away,

but she escaped. Now and then Mahommedan men or women tried in different

mke t-hC

ways to get hold of Syad Umma or of the Catechist’s wife. We heard that one

pmance

had made a vow to kill the Catechist if his friend would promise to care for his

poﬁiﬁon'

14

family. A friendly Jemadar sent us word that we had better give up the woman,

il

for if we persisted in keeping her, it would cost some lives on both sides.

We

W

succeeded in seeing the Divanji Shankuni Menon (Cochin Minister) who was

9

very friendly. He personally received a petition from Syad Umma and promised

to give the necessary instructions to the Tahsildar, and told me to inform him if

3z

or

his injunctions were not carried out. We met also the land-owner, a Nayar

gg‘

ba

nobleman, who promised to protect her. Now matters changed. It seems that

W

the Tahsildar with the assistance of some Mahommedans of position prevented

an

acts of violence. The Mahommedan still go on calumniating her, and say that

1ns

such a person is no loss to their religion. No Mahommedan is allowed to

m

speak with her, and those who do so are beaten for it.

She is very sorry that

86

she can neither see her two daughters nor have even indirect communication

ha

with them, but she says: I must save my own soul. God knows whether

the

I can save my children also.” 50 Rs. which her former friends owe to the poor

ted

woman seem to be utterly lost.

But she lives by the work of her own hands.

Mr. Fritz in Cannanore relates:

au

On the 15th October 1871 we baptized two men, with the confidence that

i

they were the Lord’s. The one is Kannen, born in 1836 in Mahe (near Can-

nanore.) He chose the names Christian Theophilus—Christian, because, he said,

g

his experiences had much in common with Christian in the “Pilgrim’s Progress”

till he found peace under the cross, and Theophilus, because it was evident

&l

that God had loved him, and he now desired to love God through Christ. When

1y

a boy he studied in the Mission School in Tahe and considered Mr. Hebich an

eminently pious man. In after years those impressions disappeared, but he

It

had a feeling of emptiness and craving that would not he satisfied with any

Ol

thing in this world. Therefore a friend advised him to visit the chief places

i

of pilgrimage in Southern India. Thus he would find health for body and soul.

;

Accordingly he sets out on a pilgrimage to Gokarna, the source of the Cavery,

My

Parini and Rameshvara, and is at the same time introduced by Gurus into the

secret doctrines of Vedanta.

He returns to Tahe a philosopher, and erects a

|

bap

temple of philosophy in Tahe, in which he presides. His heart, however, is still

a1

without peace, though he takes good care to hide it, and when Missionaries or

ig

athe

Catechists come to his village he always acts as their enemy. He has himself

the

initiated into Saktiptija, but that also fails to give rest to his soul. About

this time Joseph Kutten, the son of Eunike, comes to reside in Tahe. He

Rey

reads the Bible, prays to Jesus the Saviour of sinners, and now and then speaks

gy

about the grace which he has found in pardon of his sins. Kannen feels him-

e

self drawn towards him, he comes and hears, then goes on to read tracts, and

)¢

at last the New Testament and finally he asks for baptism. During the course

of instruction he became impatient, because he had not expected to be delayed

so long. But he attended to exhortations and was rewarded by a clearer know-

they

ledge of the way of salvation.

He always endeavoured to live up to his

After baptism he returned to his heathenish family, with

sed

The second is Ambu, now Timothy Israel, a youth of 18 years.

As a poor

nif

orphan he was received by his Christian cousin in Chiracal, but behaved so

jar

badly that his cousin was obliged to send him away. He was received in the

hat

Weaving Establishment, where after much resistance he submitted to discipline

ted

and began to work regularly. He asked for baptism, but after a course of

that

instruction, he was pronounced as yet unfit for it.

This made a wholesome

impression on him, so that he now strove to become a new man, and after a

that

second course of instruction which he did his best to benefit by, he received

fion

baptism together with Kannen. Some weeks afterwards they were admitted to

the Lord’s Supper. Their joy was great. May both of them hereafter be admit-

ted to the Great Supper of the Lamb.

Our chief care has been to establish our congregations, to nurse

them with the Word of God and to raise them in spirituality and

morality and also in the things pertaining to this world.

Contrary

o bis

16

to some who write about Missions, we consider this to be a task of

k

first importance. We see that the Spirit of Christianity has not taken

possession as fully as it ought to do, and that its influence is not yet

¢

strong enough to overcome all obstacles and produce the proper fruit

D

of Christianity in the formation of congregations, of families, of educa-

ard of spiritual life which afterwards can hold its own without assist-

i

ance from foreign countries. Therefore we dedicate to the spiritual

nurture of the churches more time and strength than is usual in Mis-

to

sionary Societies. And although there is much reason to complain of

Ca

the absence of spiritual life in many, yet we see also that the Lord is

fi

al

working in many a heart and has established his throne in many a

00

soul, though it may be surrounded with much weakness. As it is not

desirable to point this out in Christians whose course is not yet ended

it

i

and who might perhaps even be puffed up by thinking themselves im-

seen in the life of humble followers who have gone to their rest.

Mr. Walter In Chowa near Cannanore writes:

th

The Chowa congregation is chiefly composed of low caste people who for-

10y

4

merly were the slaves of Mr. Brown in Anjarkandi, and who, some 20 years

ago after becoming Christians, were settled in Chowa by Mr. Hebich.

Some

He

his

families of other castes are mixed with these former slaves, namely one family

th(

of Nayars (Shidras), 5 families of Tiyars (toddy-drawers) and 3 families of

Syrian Christians.

If we visit the houses.of these people, it is scarcely pos-

ap

1y

sible to gather from their outward appearance what their former position and

caste were; for the former Pulayer’s house is as clean and orderly as that of the

former Nayar.

And the former slave handles the plough and the pickaxe with

fg

feu

as much energy and skill as the former Tiyar.

It is evident that Christianity

as well as the perpetual connection with people of other and higher castes has

tOg

exercised and is still exercising an ennobling influence.

The old stamp has

lef

more than in others been preserved in the former Syrian Christians, who in

this respect resemble the Jews.

As Christians of this class have frequently

b

disappointed the expectations of Missionaries, we are happy to report about

one who has remained steadfast to the last and has ended his course with joy.

Johann Chowalur was born of Syrian parents in the year 1836 in Chowa-

of

kadu.

He passed his youth in his parental house, helping bis father in his

(@}

work of pressing oil.

He married very early, and when his parents died he

yeb

carried on their business.

Being industrious, and having inherited some pro-

(il

perty, he had a comfortable life.

But in one night he was robbed of his whole

(b2}

property, so that he was obliged to leave his home and seek for a livelihood

in other places, after having taken his wife to her parents.

But this was in

0n

the Lord’s hand the means, to show him the precious treasure (Matt. 13, 44.)

10!

The Lord directed his way to Cannanore, where he found work with Mr. Hebich

ell-

(1854) as baker, a work he performed with zeal and faithfulness.

But there

(-

he also found opportunity to hear the pure Gospel, which is not known in his

own church. His heart was moved and he wished to become a member of the

st

congregation,

As such he was sent to Chowa, where he began a colony with

1l

12 more Christians.

He soon acquired a property of his own, and then went

[

to bring his wife from Chowakadu. In Chowa he worked as bandyman, which

1 of

caused his frequent absence from home.

This kind of life is full of tempta-

tions, and several Chowa Christians were ruined by it in soul and body. Johann

15

also once fell into a sin, which he kept secret for several years.

He often

y o

complained to a Christian friend, that he had no peace, and that there was one

0t

sin of which he could not believe, that it was forgiven.

His friend pointed

e

him to the Lamb of God which had carried the sins of the whole world, and

1=

encouraged him to lay his sins also at the foot of the Saviour’s cross. But he

could not-lay hold of this precious truth, till after much inner struggling he

had made up his mind and confessed this particular sin to Mr. Hebich. Then

the bane was suddenly removed from his heart and he returned with great

joy, proclaiming, that now he had found full pardon and peace.

Johann was

for

a good head of his family, caring for them in bodily and spiritual concerns.

eals

He insisted that each day must be begun and ended with the Word of God, and

Jome

his two eldest children had to read on these occasions.

He was very anxious,

mily

that his children should grow up in the fear and admonition of the Lord. He

5 0f

appeared to be under the guidance of the Spirit of God, and even heathens could

pOS-

not but respect his Christian walk and honesty.

and

In the beginning of this year, before starting for Coorg, he had a certain

the

feeling, that his end might be near.

He spoke with his wife about it, con-

ith

fessed all his sins to her and asked her to repent with him.

They knelt down

together, deeply moved and beseeched the Lord for pardon and mercy. He

ity

hiad

left his family with heavy forebodings.

s

The 12th of April we suddenly received the news that Johann had been

brought in as a corpse by two Christians.

It was a great blow for the widow

0 in

fly

with her uneducated children.

But the Lord comforted her so, that she could

put her trust in Christ and believe that God had sent this trial also.

The

pont

burial and the words spoken on the occasions made a great impression on the

Joy:

congregation.

On further inquiries we learned about Johann’s death, that on

his way back from Coorg, when he reached the fever region with his bandy,

he was seized with fever.

Not finding any house, he endeavoured to drive on,

but getting too weak for that, he tied his bullocks to a tree and lay down in

{

the road at the side of his bandy, hoping to get better or to be taken on by

another bandyman.

None however would take him, but passed on, because

they thought he was suffering from cholera.

Two days he lay exposed to sun

and rain, suffering great thirst.

On the third day when again a train of ban-

dies passed, he saw amongst them an acquaintance who listened to his fervent

entreaties, gave him water, washed his clothes and put him on his bandy.

Johann thanked him with tears in his eyes.

But a short time after he swoon-

ed and died.

We do not know what passed in his soul during these 3 days

of intense suffering, but we are happy to know that he had prepared his house.

Mr. Rock in Codacal writes:

Abel Aaron has been our servant and at the same time sexton.

By his

1

whole behaviour he had acquired the esteem of every one.

He had been a

é

member of our congregation for 18 years and had always shown himself to be

a sincere and true disciple of Christ.

His character was quiet, truthful and

t

sincere, so that anything could be entrusted to him. He was also industri-

i

ous, contented and always happy and joyful. In the seven years I have known

him, I cannot remember any complaints made by him, nor his quarrelling with

.

any one, and his family was of the same stamp.

God be praised for such

H

people.

Oh, that we had many of them! Abel’s last weeks and days of suffer-

ings were particularly blessed for his household and friends.

Notwithstand-

ing the pains and the asthma which went on increasing, he never complained.

If be opened his mouth it was to utter short prayers and thanks to God for

I

having brought him to His faith and salvation.

As often as I spoke with him

T e T e

he expressed his living faith and hope in the Lord and his joy, that now he

)

was allowed to go to Him,.

Shortly before his death he said: “Oh Lord, do not

forsake me in my weakness, Thou art strong,

Receive me up to Thee.”

His

last words were: “I have peace and joy in my heart.” Thus he died as he had

t

lived. Praise be to God who has saved one more soul and brought him to his

I

eternal rest.

The whole number of our congregation amounts to 437 1 of whom

h

29274 are communicants. Not included in these numbers are the 258

who are under instruction for baptism.

But we do not lose sight of the mnecessity of preparing a future

%

independence of the congregation. On the one hand the churches are

taught to contribute more and more towards the expenses of church

If

and school.

On the other hand we go on training more and more

youths for the ministry.

In the other parts of our work no important changes have taken

place and we mention them only in a few words.—The many changes

in the personal staff of our Mission where older Missionaries made

room for new ones and many sicknesses amongst the rest were a

great hindrance to the regular preaching of the Word as there were

in several stations scarcely enough people to carry on the most urgent

work. There is however no station in which it was neglected alto-

gether either in the bazaar or on preaching tours or in visiting the

heathens in their houses

And we hope that as soon as the new

Brethren have acquired the language, preaching will again be carried

on as before

‘a,}

Mr. Honhart being obliged to pass- the greater part of the year

on the Neilgherries on account of ill-health, gives us the following

description of a preaching tour there:

On the 10th August I went with Mr. Stokes to Tooneri to see how preaching

is carried on on these hills although I myself do not know the Badaga language

The road went of course uphill and downhill, so that it would have been very

%g

21

6

exhausting to travel on such a road if the heat of the low country had pressed

on the wanderers.

But the wind though now and then very rough, refreshed

us so, that we did not feel any fatigue.

On the road we met a number of

l

Badagas returning from their fields and Mr. Stokes spoke to them about Christ

4]

who died for their sins.

After sunset we reached the hut, erected by our Mis-

sion in Tooneri and there we met our old Badaga Missionary Mr. Metz, who

was very happy to receive us in his solitude.

The hut has two rooms and is

V’

near the village of Tooneri. Round about, scattered through the hills, are a num-

ber of villages, which the Missionaries can reach from Tooneri, some of them

$

being however so distant that a day suffices only for the visiting of one of them.

g, and then we

Next morning we waited till the sun had dispersed the heavy fo

took the way to Kakussi, a village about 6 miles distant, Mr. Metz taking the

y

lead armed with a powerful Toda stick, some 5 feet high, ending in a strong

S

point, to serve as a weapon against wild beasts.

The way again led us over

mountains and through villages, and we see in the distance several villagers who

|

soon again are lost sight of.

But people we met only very scarcely quite dif-

ferent from the coast, where plenty people are met with everywhere.

Only

now and then we find some buffalo herdsmen, who know Mr. Metz quite well, and

Z

listen to his words when he begins to speak to them of the Gospel.

At last

After some

we arrive in the village, but here also we at first see no people.

time we find a number of men occupied before this house with cleaning corn

and some children playing near them. The number is increased by some women

coming from the houses near by, and we sit on the small verandah of the house,

and Mr. Metz beseeches them to be reconciled with God through His Son Jesus

A

Christ.

They listened attentively and after some time we returned to our hut,

B

not however without being overtaken by the rain.

I had now got an insight

into the particular nature of the work on the hills, and not being able, on ac-

count of the language, to render any help myself, I left the brethren and went

back to Kaity.

I

The difficulty of the work up there is that notwithstanding a march to

great distance only few people are met with, which now and then is very dis-

e

heartening. But I heard, that nearly each village is visited once a year and

many villages more than once,

May the Lord soon give a harvest on these

hills.

In Malabar the country is well peopled, but the Gospel has not yet been carried

to all villages and many heathens have heard nothing or only very little of the

salvation in Christ. Only the villages very near the stations can be reached

I

once a year.

Oh if we only could reach each village once a year or at least

¢

once every second or third year. May the Lord provide the labourers wanted

for such a plan and the means necessary for intinerating.

g

In our Scheol-work we have gone on after our old principles, con-

sidering ourselves bound to provide elementary schools for all Chris-

i

s et

22

Seslo

tian children and making it obligatory on them to attend to these

schools. To give them a higher education for worldly purposes we do

not consider the task of a Missionary Society. To reach the heathens

we have a number of Vernacular Schools and some very few Anglo-

vernacular Schools.

But we find that we cannot keep up a rivalry

with Government Schools without neglecting other and more impor-

tant branches of our Mission work. So we are in fact losing more

and more ground in the educational department. As far as schools for

heathens are concerned, our Anglo-vernacular School in Tellicherry has

been closed and will be taken over by Government, and our School in

Dharwar has lost very many pupils in the beginning of this year.

Our Orphanages or Boarding Schools are pretty much the same

e i

as before.

It is a rule to admit only the children of very poor Chris-

tians and of such who live in places that are without schools or of

heathen parents. If ever possible, a part of the expenses must be

borne by the parents.

The schools in Malabar and Canara are crow-

ded, but in the Southern Mahratta country and on the Neilgherries

p o

we should wish to get more pupils especially children of heathen pa-

rents, for our Boarding Schools. The good effect which such schools

may have on heathen children and their parents may be seen from

the following instance as related by Mr. Schauffler.

Mr. Schaufler writes:

This year also we had the privilege of receiving 12 souls through baptism

into the flock of Christ.

It is a pleasure to mark the ways in which the Lord

leads his children and especially whole families into His fellowship.

We bap-

tized an old man from the neighbourhood of Codacal.

The first time he heard

of Christ was when he was employed at the building of the Mission house in

Codacal.

But for many years he remained an enemy of Christ and strictly

forbade his wife being baptized, although she had for years been longing for it;

so that she has not yet received baptism.

She had three girls and she took

great care that they should not be lost. Hearing of our Girls’ School in Calicut

she succeeded in persuading her husband to allow two of them to hecome board-

ers in the school, and made use of the permission so quickly that the father had

no time to change his mind. As often as they went home the girls spoke about

the Saviour, whom they had learned to love and also persevered in prayer that

the Lord might save their parents and their sister.

Once on such a visit at

home the doubtful plan occured to them of taking their sister secretly away,

with the knowledge of their mother but without that of their father. Trium-

23

phantly they brought her to us, and to our astonishment the father did not

come to claim her, as the mother succeeded in pacifying him.

This happened

four years ago. The girl prospered in body and soul and received the Gospel

so joyfully that after some time we were able to baptize her. But some months

after baptism she was attacked by typhus fever and succumbed to it. She died

Jjoyfully confessing her faith in the Lord Jesus. The mother who was present

during her last days was deeply impressed by her death and resolved more firmly

than before to be baptized with her young son of 10 years. But the father

hindered her. The two girls however continued to pray for their parents in

full confidence of being heard. And they were not disappointed, for a few months

ago the old father came to his daughter who in the meantime had been married,

and declared that he had come to Calicut to become a Christian.

But he was

taken seriously ill, so that he seemed likely to die, and at the same time the

mother fell into a dangerous illness at home, so that her death also seemed to

be near. The daughter’s faith was severely tried, and we had to admonish her

to go on in faith and prayer without wavering. In his sickness the father longed

warmly after baptism, aund as he had heard the Gospel from his daughter and

firmly expressed his entire faith in Christ alone, we baptized him on the 26th

December 1871. Now the sickness turned and Joseph (this is his new name)

recovered to everybody’s astonishment, as a two-fold proof of God’s grace and

faithfulness. The mother also grew better. Of course the father now earnestly

wishes to see his wife and son soon baptized.

A higher education is provided for those who intend to serve the

Mission as Catechists or Schoolmasters. But the instruction is given

in the Vernaculars.

We have for this purpose Preparandi-Schools

in Tellicherry, Udapy and Hubly containing, as a rule, pupils from

14 to 18 years of age.

From these schools pupils enter either one

of the Training Schools in Tellicherry and Udapy or else the Cate-

chist Seminary in Mangalore.

The Book Depository in Mangalore has continued spreading

Vernacular Tracts and English Books through the country by means

of direct sale in Mangalore, of small Book Depots in each Station and

of a number of Colporteurs. Some Colporteurs have also been employed

in the name of the Madras Bible Society for distributing Bibles only.

The Vernacular books are mostly printed in our Printing Fstablish-

ment in Mangalore.

The Industrial and Mercant'ilé Establishments continue to train

our Native Christians to honest work and prove a blessing to our con-

gregations.

It is intended to add a Mechanical Establishment.

24

——

In conclusion We desire to thank all our friends who have assisted

us with their sympathies, their prayers or their money; especially we

owe our best thanks to those medical gentlemen who have this year

also rendered most valuable help in the many cases of sickness with-

out remuneration: Dr. Dempster in Mangalore, Dr. Batty in Dharwar,

Dr. Davies in Carwar, Dr. Fletcher and Dr. Smith in Cannanore,

Dr. Roberts in Calicut, Dr. Farquhar in Bangalore.

May the Lord

bless them for all they have done!

Mpr. Brigel has been occupied with the care of the congregation,

holding Services on Sundays and weekdays, visiting in the houses, being

called upon by any member of the congregation in any kind of distress,

settling points of dispute now and then of an intricate nature, super-

intending one of the parish schools, instructing boys and girls for

confirmation and catechumeni for baptism. He had the pleasure of

having his wife back with him from Europe after a separation of

nearly 5 years.

Mr. Daimelhuber assisted Mr. Brigel in these different branches

of work in the congregation and parish schools. For some months he

had to take the place of Missionaries in Mulky and Udapy. He and

some other Missionaries took part also in the prayer-meetings which

are carried on in several private houses of the congregation.

The congregation is steadily increasing in numbers.

The bapt-

isms of heathens were indeed only 2 in the course of the year, but

the first weeks of 1872 witnessed the baptism of about 25 persons

more, some of whom promise to become valuable members of the

congregation,

willingness to contribute for the Lord’s cause, and a pleasure in hear-

The young people take special

pleasure in singing and have organized a “Choir for practising and

performing.

Catechist Daniel Aaron who for many years assisted the pastor

in guiding the congregation has now been ordained as Deacon and en-

trusted with the care of a congregation in Santur near Mulky.

The out-station Hosadurga with Ravaneshwara seems to become

more and more important.

Some families containing 18 souls have

joined us in the course of last year.

Of Schools the station has in different parts of the town 4 for

Christian boys and girls, one school, chiefly vernacular, for heathen boys,

one Infant School for Christian children too young to go to a regular

E

school, and two schools for heathen girls chiefly Brahmins.

_ The two latter schools and partly also the Infant School are in

charge of the ladies of the station, who also conduct an Industrial

School and give further instruction to the female teachers and a number

of grown up girls of the congregation.

Six christian and one heathen male teacher and 8 female

christian teachers are employed in these schools.

Mr. Th. Digel (1864), in charge of the Weaving Establishment.

Mr. C. Hiittinger (1871).

Mr. Pfleiderer has not yet been able to return, but Mr. Weitbrecht

has arrived to help in the work of the Mercantile Firm and also in

the business connected with the administration of the Treasury and

the several Church Funds. Mr. Riehm was obliged by the failing

health of Mrs. Riehm to be absent for the greater part of the year,

but was able nevertheless to do the chief part of his work until March

1872, when he embarked with his family for Europe.

The Tiling Business was superintended partly by Mr. Digel, partly

by others.

The Weaving Establishment under Mr. Digel gave work to 84

persons.

In December Mr. Digel was married to Miss Hermann

who had arrived from Europe.

Mr. Hiittinger arrived in November with the intention to begin

some new kind of industrial work, and he is still occupied in qualify-

ing himself for his task by studying Canarese and Tulu.

MULKY.

Rev. J. Mack (1858),

Rev. G. Ritter (1869).

NATIVE DEACONS: Rewv. Sebastian Furtado.

Rev. Daniel Aaron.

This station is the centre of 15 out-stations, which, in the course

of last year, have been more fully supplied with Catechists, so that

they are now under the care of 2 Native Deacons and 6 Catechists.

50

L s

One Deacon has the charge of the out-station Utchilla since several

years, another was ordained and appointed for Santur in February

1872;

All these out-stations were under the supervision of Mr.

Miinner, and when he was obliged to take his wife to the Neilgherries,

Mr. Daimelhuber and Mr. Ritter, both from Mangalore, took his place.

Now Mr. Ménner has been stationed in Udapy and Mr. Ritter suc-

ceeds him in Mulky.

31 heathens have been baptized in the course of the year.

The

fresh accessions from the heathens are scarcely more than the losses

caused by others falling back to heathenism.

93 persons are still

under instruction for baptism.

6 Schoolmasters are in charge of the several schools for Christian

children.

Mr. Mack has charge of the congregation in Mulky itself and

besides of the

Girly Boarding School in which work he is assisted by Mrs. Mack

and Mrs. Traub, who arrived in December 1871.

The number of

girls is 70, and 2 male and 2 female native teachers are employed

in the school.

One of the girls, an orphan, whose father had died in

his sins, destroyed herself by jumping into a well and, in connexion

with this horrible fact, the power of Satan was distinctly felt and

much prayer, faith and patience was required to pass through this

sad time.

Hartmann for Karkala in January 1872.

Mr. Ménner has been

in charge of the congregation in Udapy and its numerous out-stations

since January 1872,

31

Whilst two years ago we had such great hopes for this station

and its out-stations, the last year has brought much more cause for

grief than for joy. The Missionaries have suffered much from sickness,

S0 that Mr. Langel had to be absent for the greater part of the year,

and it is a matter for particular gratitude that his life has been

spared. Mr. Hartmann also was unfit for work for many months,

and as Mr. Miiller and Mr. Brasche had sufficient work in the schools

and Mr. Hiibner had not yet mastered the language, the congregations

were at times virtually without that European supervision and care,

which would have been so useful in many difficult cases. The conse-

quences of this want appear in the falling back to heathenism of a

number of enquirers and in disorders amongst the Christians. Besides

this a false accusation of a wicked man brought great strife and con-

fusion into the congregation at Udapy.

In Gudde a wicked member

of the congregation attacked and severely beat the Catechist.

Yet some few heathens have joined us during the course of this

sad year, and 89 catechumeni have been baptized, so that the congre-

gation shows an increase.

9 Catechists and 4 Schoolmasters have

been occupied with the out-stations and the Schools, and in February

1872 the out-station Shirwa received a Native Deacon in the person of

Diego Fernandez.

In the Training Class for teachers, 2 pupils were instructed by

HONORE.

Rev. Th. Walz (1866), Rev. I« Hafner (1871).

Mr. Walz was married mm March to Miss Wierz from Basel.

Mr. Stoll has left India and our Mission, and Mr. Hafner has come

from Europe to take his place.

Of the Catechists one was called to his Lord’s rest. Suwartappa,

a Brahmin who 15 years ago was baptized, and since then held firmly

to his Lord. Another had to leave the Mission work, and Johann Za-

chariah came from Palghaut to take his place.

Gokarna and Carwar were visited and the Gospel was preached

L)

in the environs of Honore.

But there does not appear any fruit for

the present.

The out-station Carwar is under the care of the Catechist J.

Kamsika and under the supervision of Mr. Walz.

A DBengali

orphan girl, found almost dead by a gentleman in the jungle and

received by Mrs. Spens into her house, was baptized at her request.

MERCARA.

Rev. F. Kittel (1853), Mr. J. Mdiller (1866).

Mr.

Canarese works on Grammar and Lexicography for the Press. He

attended to the spiritual wants of the 23 Native Christians in con-

nection with our Mission, and preached the Gospel in houses of the

Coorgs in the bazaar and in the district.

Mr. Welsch arrived in December 1871 to take his place. As long

as Mr. Krauss lived he was in charge of the congregation, preached

to the heathen, and gave Bible lessons in the Canarese School

After his death Afr. Titus Costa took charge of the congregation

along with his work in the schools, but he was for a long time pre-

vented by severe sickness, from doing as much as was necessary

3 people are waiting for instruction and baptism.

A Canarese School consisting of 57 boys is taught by two native

teachers.

The Anglo-Vernacular School has risen from 85 to 126 boys

The public examination in July and still more some examinations by

the Government Inspector of Schools show that the teaching is efficient

After the death of Mr. Krauss the Bible lessons suffered very

much

HUBLY

~§

Rev. J. Thumm (1860),

Mpr. F. Ziegler (1862),

Rev. W. Nibling (1871)

Mr. Deuber’s health’continued to be so bad, that he was obliged

to leave for Europe. Mr. Thumm came from Guledgud to take his

place. Moreover the staff of labourers has been increased by r

Niibling who arrived from Europe in November 1871.

Mr. Deuber was too frequently ill, yet he instructed and baptized

9 heathens. Besides his work in the congregation he preached now

and then in the bazaar, and visited the out-station Hebsur. Mr.

Ziegler and the Catechists took a part of the Services in the church,

in the bazaar and the villages near Hubly.

s-! -

The people excommunicated in 1870 have not yet come back

with the exception of one youth who was re-admitted, but another youth

has joined the heathens. There are signs of another opposition against

the preshytery amongst the Christian in Unakallu

TFour Catechists. 1 male and 1 female Christian teacher and 4

heathen teachers help the Missionaries in preaching or school-work

[

The Anglo-Vernacular School had 40 pupils and was under the

care of Mr. Ziegler.

The Preparandi-School which is united with the former began the

year with 2 Christian boys and increased to 4, of whom 2 however

were in January 1872 sent to the Preparandi-School in Udapy to

prepare for the Catechist Seminary or Training School.

A Canarese School for heathen boys is carried on in the town and

contains 39 boys.

It is an opportunity for putting the Gospel not

only before the boys but also before adults who come to listen.

The Orphanage went down from 12 boys to 8, of whom 3 more

have since left the School.

It was therefore considered good to send

11 boys from the overcrowded Udapy Orphanage, so that it now

contains 16 boys. Mr. and Mrs. Ziegler care for the outward and

inward wants of the boys.

BETTIGHERRY.

Rev. W. Roth (1857), Rev. W. Hasenwandel (1872).

Mr. and Mrs. Hahn left for Europe in March 1871, and in J anuary

1872 Mr. Hasenwandel arrived from Europe.

In the meantime

Mr. Roth was alone.

The Missionary and the Catechists made one larger and a number

of shorter preaching tours. Although not well received in some places,

in others they met with such hopeful signs that they were cheered up

in their work. Several are convinced of the truth and linger only

because they fear the consequences.

A woman of 65 and a boy of 12 years were baptized, and

Bhimavva in Shagoti joined us, but was on that account driven from

the house she had helped to build, by her own son, and had to take

refuge with the Christians.

The inward condition of the congregation is very satisfactory,

much more so than in former years.

The Girls’ Boarding School with 16 girls was carried on by Mrs.

Roth and a Catechist, and has given satisfaction.

Weigele (1867),

Rev. J. L. Grieshaber (1872)

In November Mr. Thumm left Guledgud and is now stationed in

Hubly, Mr. Grieshaber arrived in January 1872 from Europe

The Gospel is regularly preached in Guledgud and the villages in

the neighbourhood, and on 5 larger tours it was also carried to places

at a greater distance. One Catechist assists the Missionaries in this

work. There are in several villages people who are very near to the

Kingdom of God, but are afraid of the opposition

Only one man, a,

P

cabinet-maker from Padinakatti broke through the most furious op-

position and is now under instruction for baptism

Three Christians were excommunicated and another family left us

on their own account.

But one who had formerly joined the Roman

Catholics was re-admitted to the congregation.

There is one school with 12 girls and one with 22 boys of

whom 6 are Christians.

Mr. Bourquin arrived from Europe in October1871. Mr. Hanhart

was obliged to spend 8 months on the Neilgherries but returned with

i

new strength.

(V. page 20.)

He and the Catechists visited the festivals in Payavur and Tali-

parambu.

Also during Mr. Hanhart's absence the Catechists faith-

fully preached the Gospel in the environs of Cannanore and the out-

stations. Especially Catechist Abrabam Mulil traversed the country

in several directions.

f

But one amongst them, and that the oldest, grieved us very much

by throwing up the Lord’s Service for unworthy reasons.

There have been two baptisms of heathens, one Kanna (now

Christian Theophilus) from Mahe and the other Ambu (now Timothy

Israel) from Chiracal.

(V. page 14.)

Services in Malayalam and English on Sundays and week-days

were carried on chiefly by Mr. Frita.

There are also prayer-meetings

in the houses.

Two Colporteurs paid by the Madras Bible Society are superin-

tended by Mr. Schoch who also has a Depository of Tracts and, with

the help of the, colporteur paid by the Mission, and the Catechists, has

sold 7217 copies for Rs. 1352-10-5.

Mr. Lauffer and the Deacon, assisted by 2 Catechists and 1 School-

master, had the Services on Sundays and week-days and the supervision

of the congregations in Chombala and the out-stations Muverattu and

Kandappenkundu, and carried on two Schools for Christian and hea,-

thén boys.

As the spiritual as well as temporal condition of the congregation

had in the last year suffered much from the poverty of the Christians

and their negligence in work, Mr. Laugfer tried hard to teach them

how to manage their lands wisely and how to work faithfully

trust he has had some success and will have still more in future

Mr. Spillmann and Mr. Elsdsser were both married in December

1871

Mr. Schauffler conducted the regular Malayalam Services on Sun-

days and week-days, gave Bible-lessons in the different Schools of the

station and instruction for baptism. Now and then he had to visit

the other stations of the Districts to examine the Mission Schools there.

12 heathens were added to the congregation by baptism, and two

who had been excommunicated were re-admitted.

Mr. Knobloch took his share in the Services of the congregation

and instruction of enquirers, prepared 2 little books for the Press, and

visited the out-stations Beypoor, Coilandy, &e

But his chief work was

PALGHAUT

Rev. E. Diez (1851), Rev. C. Linder (1868)

-

Mr. Linder took care of the congregation in Palghaut and Can-

nany and of the Anglo-Vernacular School; whilst Mr. Diez, besides his

literary work, had charge of the out-stations Kinnanur, Karuwapara

it

Panayur and Wadakancherry, which were frequently visited by him

These visits afford an opportunity of preaching the Gospel to the

heathen, which is also done by the Catechists statloned in those places

and by those in Palghaut.

In Karuwapara a Mahommedan woman, Syad Umma, came wishing

to become a Christian

The opposition of the Mahommedans was fear-

ful, they threatened her life and that of the Catechist, but God’s grace

has helped till now. Another young Mahommedan was resolved to

follow her example, but in his case the enemies succeeded in frighten-

ing him away

(V. page 13.)

A young Hindu, Shiva Ram had for four years intended to follow

Christ, but had been turned away by some young men who formerly,

like him, had been convinced of the necessity of confessing Christ, and

who now have to work hard to stifle their consciences. But the Lord

hedged up his way with thorns. He asked for baptism and received

it on the Srd December 1871

Unfortunately courage failed him to

6

42

show himself to his family as a Christian. His aunt however came

on the 9th January 1872 firmly resolved to become a true Christian

and help her nephew to confess openly.

There are some others waiting for instruction and baptism.

The Anglo-Vernacular School has been taken in hand by M.

Linder, who succeeded in raising it to greater efficiency.

A Girls’ School is conducted by Mrs. Diez, and a number of Ver-

nacular Boys’ Schools in Palghaut and out-stations by schoolmasters.

IV. NEILGHERRIES,

KAITY.

Rev. F'. Metz (1843), Rev. W. Stokes (1860), Rev. S. Gundert (1863).

Mr. Stokes has been stationed here for a time, as his health

suffered in Udapy.

Services for the congregation are held in Kaity and Nerkamby.

English Services at the request of many friends have been begun in

the Zion’s chapel in Ootacamund.

But the chief work has been the preaching of the Gospel in the

numerous villages scattered on the hills, most of which have been

visited several times during the year.

Some are opposed, some are

friendly, some are even wishing to become Christians.

But no decided

step has been taken.

5 Badaga and 3 Tamil Children are gathered in the Boarding

é

School.

-

We should like very much to increase the number of Ba-

daga children, but do not see a way to it.

19 heathen boys are instructed as day-scholars along with them.

Another School in Nerkamby has 6 children.

In 3 places nightschools are carried on and 22 boys are in-

structed.

——nan,

KOTAGHERRY.

Rev. A. Biihrer (1842).

Regular services were held for the congregation.

Mr. Biikrer and the Catechist preach on the weekly market-days,

and visit all the villages of that district.

Some members of the con-

gregation help in preaching the Gospel. But till now no result can

be shown.

The children of the congregation are instructed by a Christian

schoolmaster.

The operations of our Society in other Countries.

Qur brethren in China have for more than eighteen months been,

like peaceful citizens in a town, besieged by the enemy, and expecting

some decisive blow every now and then. But as yet our Stations have

mercifully been kept from all serious attacks of the people, although

some smaller outbreaks of the national hatred have not been wanting.

o

Partly for this reason the proposed building of a Seminary in Lilong

could not be begun, as this would have excited the enmity of the native

population too much. Under such circumstances the three Training

Schools in this station could not be separated and enlarged, but had

to be continued all under one and the same roof.

The Boarding School for girls in Chongtsun suffered a severe loss

through the unfaithfulness of the native superintendent, who had

to be dismissed. On the other stations the schools have been conducted

as before, with rather encouraging results. The difficulty arising from

g

the Chinese way of writing, mentioned in our last Report, has, of

course, not yet been overcome, as it requires not a little amount of

time and talent, as well as a thorough knowledge of the Chinese tongue,

both the popular dialect and the written language, to prepare a series

of really valuable school-books. Something has been done in this way,

but much remains to be accomplished; and we are afraid, that our

brethren will not be able to carry out the proposed plans until fresh

aid can be sent out to strengthen their hands. All-the Missionaries

have engaged most diligently in the work of preaching to the heathen;

6%

e

44

only the bodily weakness of some and the pastoral and educational

duties of all of them have kept them from doing more.

Perhaps the most interesting feature of our Chinese Mission, in

its. present state, is the growing development of the native congre-

gations. On Christmas-day 12 persons were baptized in Hongkong

and 21 in Lilong. A great deal of time has been spent in visiting

all the scattered Christians in the out-stations.

The native Missionary

Min-siu has given himself almost exclusively to this work, while at the

same time preaching to the heathen population. In some out-stations

small places of worship have been erected, and the Christians gathered

into regular congregations. The experience gained by our brethren,

in this branch of their work, shows how necessary it is, not to leave

the newly converted souls to themselves, but to nurse them spiritu-

ally like tender infants. Again and again remmnants of heathenism

make themselves felt among them, and it is only slowly they learn

what Christian discipline is and how their every day lives must be

influenced by the light of the Gospel. A peculiar difficulty is the posi-

tion of Christian boys and young men, who, in order to learn some

It is

trade, are obliged to place themselves under heathen masters.

;E

only natural, therefore, that our brethren as well as the other German

Missionaries in China, begin to feel, what a blessing some Christian

industrial establishments, such as we have in India and Africa, would

prove to the rising congregations. Our Committee, therefore, think

it their duty to do all they can in this direction, although it seems

that, for China, a somewhat different plan must be adopted from what

has become our practice in India and Africa. It is a matter of praise

to the Lord, that none of our brethren have been obliged to leave

e ——

their field of labour, though almost all of them have been afflicted

by sickness and disease, either personally or in their families.

b | S

Only one new missionary has been sent out this year, Kong-fatlin-

Ayun, himself a Chinese, who entered the Seminary at Basel six years

ago, having been brought from China by the Rev. Ph. Winnes who—

we are sorry to say—will never be able to return to his beloved field

of labour in China.

Qur Mission on the Gold Coast of Africa ]S still in the midst of a

e

45

turbulent population.

It is true, the hostile operations of the smaller

tribes and the king of Ashante seem to have ceased, but it is very

questionable whether the peace will last long. Besides: Mr. Ramseyer,

his wife and Mr. Kiihne, who were made prisoners on the 24th June

1869, have not yet bheen set at liberty. At the public meeting of

the Society in Basel, in July 1870, when the annual report was read,

it was not known to what place the prisoners had been carried off,

nor even whether they were still alive.

Hearty prayers were sent up

to the throne of Grace on behalf of our dear brethren by the as-

sembled members and friends of the Society. And the day after, as

if in answer to these prayers, letters arrived from the Gold Coast with

the welcome intelligence that the prisoners were still alive and as

comfortable as Furopeans could be in African huts, without proper

provisions, and separated from all that was most dear to them. They

are, at present, in the capital with the king, surrounded by many

cruel heathen scenes, but treated with respect and, occasionally, even

with kindness by king Kalkari.

The death of Mrs. Ramseyer’s baby

has been mentioned in our last report.

Since then they have been

gladdened by the birth of another, whom they look upon as a token

from the Lord, ¢“who is able to do for them above all that they ask

or think,” and who will—we feel sure—finally answer our united

prayers by restoring them to their friends and work again.

One thing we know for certain, that the Lord has not yet for-

saken our African Mission, but pours out spiritual blessings in the

midst of sorrow and affliction.

It is true, our station in Anum, destroyed during the war, s still

in ruins, and the Christian inhabitants scattered.

Odumase also has suffered heavy losses in consequence of the war,

and the congregation has been diminished by 21 souls.

Subsequently

smallpox broke out, and, among others, Jakob Nikoi, one of our best

native preachers, a true child of peace, fell a victim to the epidemic.

Moreover, Kyebi and Kukurantumi, our Akem-stations have had

to struggle not only with the difficulties arising from the hostilities of

the people, but also with sickness and disease among the Missionaries.

The latter station had to be given up entirely.

—_—

46

On the other hand, the new chapel in Odumase, built on a suit-

able site, presented by the king of Krobo, has been finished, and in

Kyebi a house has been erected for the Boys’ Boarding School.

QOur new station in 4da, opened by the Mission Mercantile Associa-

tion has been prospering so much, that, even in the midst of the war,

the congregation has had an increase of 39 members, while the trade

was almost completely stopped.

In Christiansborg the industrial establishments and workshops are

all prospering, the Middle-School is increasing, in numbers as well as

R

usefulness, and the congregation is being enlarged. In July last Rev. E.

Schrenk baptized 29 heathens after some months’ previous instruction.

Most of the

Abokobi continues to be a place of special interest.

%

Christians there and in the out-stations are engaged in agriculture or

farm-labour; but their love for the Word of God, their zeal in prayer

and worship render them a light amid the darkness of their heathen

countrymen.

As a free-will-offering towards the Mission these good

people have set apart a plantation, which they cultivate gratuitously.

In Abur: also the Missionaries have much reason to be thankful

to the Lord, who is evidently blessing the work of their hands.

Mr.

Dieterle, who had gone home in 1868, was once more able to return

to his station and met with a most hearty welcome from the Native

Christians. Mr. Mohr also, who is labouring in Africa since 1846,

P e T T R R

has met with so much encouragement, that he does not yet think of

leaving this station, although the health of himself and his wife is

much impaired by their long and toilsome labours.

In Akropong there is a congregation of nearly 750 members, a

Boys’ Boarding School, a Middle School, a Seminary for training school-

masters for the Otji district and a Seminary for training Catechists

for the whole of our African Mission.

The heathen, of course, try to

oppose the Missionaries and to hinder their progress as much as they

can. Still they appear to feel the power of the Word of God and to be

afraid of provoking the anger of the God of the Christians. An m-

Mr. Mader

teresting case is reported from Mamfe, near Akropong.

was just about to baptize some persons, when a few men rushed into

the chapel, and their leader tried to have the candidates for baptism

%

47

e

carried away. Then Mr. Mader stepped forward and simply said to

the man: “You have no right to take away the people of the Lord

4

Jesus; leave this place immediately,”—whereupon he left the place

without saying a single word and without making any other attempts

to carry out his intention.

In June last Mr. Widmann baptized 12

young men and boys.

When asked, what had first induced them to

become Christians, some of them answered: «“The misery and wicked-

ness of heathenism have disgusted us so much, that we began to look for

something better, and so we found the Word of God to be the truth.”

It remains to state, that during the past year two important ser-

vices have been rendered to our African Mission by two brethren who

formerly laboured in Abokobi and Akropong, but now are removed

from that field of labour.

A Dictionary in G& has been compiled by

Mr. Locher, now in America, and the Bible translated into Otji by

Mr. Christaller.

APPENDIX,

This year again we have to report, that some among us have

been taken away from the scenes of their labours by the hand of death.

l'

Christian Reuther, who was born 12th July 1833 in Meinsheim, Ger-

many, had been for some years connected with the Chrischona Mission, near

Basel; he came out to Mangalore in 1867 to take charge of the Mission Press;

from the first he gave his whole mind and heart to this important branch of

our work, at the same time exerting himself for the spiritual welfare of the

people working under his care, to whom he always was a model of Christian

patience and faithfulness.

In 1868 he was married to Miss Chr. Greter.

In the following year he suffered severely from- dysentery, and when he was

somewhat better, the excitement and anxiety occasioned by the disastrous

fires in 1870, threw him back considerably. Moreover, he began to suffer

from a serious lever complaint.

A change to Malabar and Coimbatore proved

of no real use, so he returned to Mangalore and made up his mind to go home

He died on the 6th March

at the earliest opportunity. But it was too late.

18771,

Some days before his death he said to his wife: “I should have liked to

remain some years more on my post, but it seems, the Lord has decided other-

wise.

And I am glad to go to be with Him, although I know, that He could

1871 he started for his last preaching tour, but, after a few days, was obliged

to hasten back to Dharwar, having had a severe attack of fever

On this

journey, when he was in a dying state he experienced once more the utter

uncharitableness of the heathen, for whom he had done so much

He asked

for a bandy, but obtained one only with the greatest difficulty; he asked for

good bullocks, but the worst were given to him ; he asked for a common cloth to

cover the bandy and protect him from the sun, but only a few rags were grant-

near Berne in Switzerland,

Even as a child she was distinguished by her

christianlike demeanour.

She received her education chiefly in the city of

Berne, and, after having creditably passed the required examinations, was

engaged as a teacher, for some years, in the institution, in which she had been

educated. In September 1864 she was married in Calicut to the Rev. A. Wenger.

The first six years she and her husband lived in Kaity on the Neilgherry Hills;

but even there she was suffering mueh, far more than was known to her friends.

However she learned the native language and was thus enabled, in ber limi-

ted sphere, to influence those around
