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, S Al ECR LR O=— e 4 i & & 3 A.

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.

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 DA 12 the door, threw out the objects of worship, and knocked them about to become Soarcely I rid of this terror also. Then he told his sister: ¥You are my sister; if you take her inf are in want I shall give you rice; but I will no longer suffer any offerings in he next me this place.” mother cam The next day I heard Subaya’s sister intended to bring a suit against me, by groans, as she was the owner and Subaya only the manager of the house by the rules also drew ¢ of the Aliyasantana (in which the property descends in the female line).

May the Lord make him made faner; quite sincere! shall be coy Mr. Knobloch in Calicut writes about the case of a girl: aftermoon g A girl of the carpenter-caste came often into our Mission compound in we would Coilandy. A Christian woman of the name of Deborah used to tell her Bible- they also narratives, which attracted her very much, By degrees Kunjipennu desired to who had se become a Christian, and two years ago she expressed her wish to Deborah. At the Girls B home she only now and then gave hints that she would one day go to the MI‘.

She continued however to reside in her mother’s house Suﬁi@i&ncy [ Medan gy as is usual with a child-bride. Kunjipennu would never acknowledge the marri- she said 4 age, as she knew that it would prevent her from carrying out her plan, and one day when her husband came to her mother’s house, she ran away resolved to \‘Epent of th leave even her home to get rid of this forced union. She fled to her relatives S fogiyey in Mahe, and returned only after she had received a promise that nothing more would be done in the matter of her marriage. Having thus got rid of her tained thy, husband, her desire to become a Christian increased, and she entreated Deborah Somg g St hag py, to tell her as much of the Christian doctrine as was required for baptism. The woman did her best to instruct her and the Lord granted His blessing. Kunji- f wamgy W pennu also asked a female teacher of the Mission to teach her to write. ther livg, When I was in Coilandy from the 22nd to the 24th July I heard that she intended to go with me to Calicat. But I thought it better to let her take the into € my step in Coilandy before her relatives, the more especially as the performance U she £50g of the (preliminary) marriage ceremonies had placed her in a peculiar position. l mﬂd& 3 et T 13 become Scarcely I left for Calicut when she came to the Catechist and asked him to if you take her into his house. This was the evening of the 24th July 1871. Early ings in the next morning some 40 or 50 people including the girl’s mother and grand- mother came into our compound, surrounded the Catechist’s house and tried st me, by groans, cries, entreaties and abuse to induce the girl to come back. Some After the wrath of the ¢ ules also drew their knives and threatened the Catechist. ) On mob had somewhat cooled down, the Catechist called the girl to the door of istrate, the house to answer to her relatives.

Diez in Palghaut tells the story of a Mahommedan woman, which - rofutls 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 ji ;E Tigy: 15 an, new knowledge. After baptism he returned to his heathenish family, with We whom he lives till now although not without having his faith put to trial Va8 again and again. 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 0 to 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 ther the Lord’s Supper. Their joy was great. May both of them hereafter be admit- ted to the Great Supper of the Lamb. HUUS nds Similar instances could be given from Hubly, Bettigherry, Guled- gud, Codacal, &c., and there are, as always, a considerable number of that people who are near the Kingdom of God, but lack the strength to Can- said, break through the obstacles, each one considering his circumstances to be the most difficult of all. If all such would really take upon them- ik den selves the cross of Christ and follow Him, it would produce a great Then impression on others, and make it easier for them to do likewise; Jian but they go on lingering, some even for years. It is however against 14 he our customs to make such cases public. any A number of stations bitterly complain of the want of fruit. laces The numerous conversions in the Tulu country in connexion with souls el Mulky and ﬁdapy have come to a stand-still. 70 persons have been ) the baptized in those two stations, and 147 are waiting for baptism. But ofs & a number have gone back to heathenism and only now and then an- ; gtlu other family joins the Christians. This is partly to be ascribed to 6§ 0! the absence of purely spiritual motives, as we described it in former mself pout Reports, partly to the want of workmen to make use of this move- He ment by instructing the people as long as they were under our influ- gk ence and thus developing in them a truly spiritual desire out of the him- and mixed motives which actuated them. Our chief care has been to establish our congregations, to nurse urse them with the Word of God and to raise them in spirituality and 1ay 6(1 0w 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- P 11 tion and of Christian principles and practice in daily life. And on {f the other hand we are confident that more can he effected by conti- nued care of the congregations, and that this is the safest way to en- (1 sure a future independance of the churches and to produce that stand- he 0y 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 hi and who might perhaps even be puffed up by thinking themselves im- €D portant persons, we choose two cases where the secret glory can be 0 seen in the life of humble followers who have gone to their rest. hg 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 Wit Pu one who has remained steadfast to the last and has ended his course with joy. hu v ——— e e 17 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: 3 18 —_— 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 | 0 who are under instruction for baptism. But we do not lose sight of the mnecessity of preparing a future % =3 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. | 19 —_— i} The number of Catechists increases yearly. This year the 1st i January 1871 five, and on the 1st January 1872 two more were n, ordained as such, after having finished a course of theological study n and passed an examination. One was dismissed not for any parti- 0y $6 cular act committed, but because his character did not seem suited to in One, Suwartappa Watsa, was the work of preaching the Gospel. called away by death. nt He had formerly been a Brahmin and a Shastri in Honore, and had heard y the Gospel first from the late Mr. Amman, who also gave him the Gospel ac- )i cording to St. John. The depth of this Gospel so attracted his philosophical AL mind that he was led on till he be came a Christian in 1857. But as such he 56 also laid hold of the childlike truth that the blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin. Being of advanced years already at his baptism, he more and more Iis felt the burden of old age and only wished that he might he called away with- | & out a bed of sickness, a wish which the Lord granted by calling him away he suddenly when nobody thought of his being ill. We have reason to believe nd that Jesus in whom he put such a touching trust will have acknowledged him 1T as His own. - Wi Two of the Catechists were ordained as Deacons on the 11th Febru- ith ch ary 1872 in Mulky, so that we have now 5 Native Deacons besides 2 ordained Native Missionaries. The number of Catechists 18 58. el i Another progress is the erection of two new stations. The one, ol Mereara, had for some years been occupied by a branch of our Mer- for cantile Business, and had in former years been the station of Dr. 10 Mogling, who also had begun the English School which has hitherto he But Mercara had from that passed into the hands of Government. FlOﬁ time till 1870 been without a Missionary, when Mr. Kittel began to Jis ad reside there, and it was in 1871 established as one of our stations. i The second station is Karkala where the necessary houses are just being erected, and it will, we hope, be another centre for the spread il 8 of Christianity in the Tulu country. Amongst the European Missionaries death has again called away several. Mr. Reuther died in Mangalore on the 6th March 1871 10 after protracted illness. Mr. Krauss who seemed to be full of health Je returned from an itinerating tour with a severe fever and quickly suc- ch cumbed to it on the 6th July 1871. Mrs. Wenger died on the 12th ) ¥ s 20 CEeden October 1871 in Mercara (Cf. Appendix.) Others of whose life we already despaired were restored, if not to health at least to life Mr. and Mrs. Hahn, Mr.and Mrs Deuber, Mrs. Krauss, Mr.and Mrs. Riehm, Mrs. Wiirth, Mr. Reinhardt, Mrs. Schauffler, Mrs. Rick Mr. Schnepf left for Europe an account of their health, whilst 7r Stoll was discharged as unfitted for Mission work. On the other hand strong reinforcements were sent and especially the Southern Mahratta country which had lost a number of labourers was favoured with as many as four new brethren The names of the new comers are Messrs. Hiibner, Weitbrecht, Ott, Bourquin, Hirner, Hiittinger, Hafner, Welsch, Niibling, Grieshaber, Hasenwandel, Burck- hardt of whom two are for the mercantile business. one for the Press one for industrial work and eicht are ordained Mrs. Brigel and Mrs. Traub came back from Europe, and Miss Wierz (now Mrs Walz) Miss Weitbrecht (now Mrs Elsdisser) Miss Bronneman (now Mrs Langel) Miss Hermann (00w Mrs. Digel) Miss Anner (now Mrs Spillmann) arrived for the first time v So we have now a number of 59 Missionaries of whom 44 are ordained In the other parts of our work no important changes have taken g 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. 0 g, and then we Next morning we waited till the sun had dispersed the heavy fo o7 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 i 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! "y I. CANARA. MANGALORE. I. CLERICAL PART. Rev. J. J. Brigel (1858), in charge of the congregation, out-stations and schools.

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, 4 26 A The inward condition of the congregation is not as good as it ought Yet there are to be, and several grievous sins have come to light. also hopeful signs, a desire to win heathenish relatives, an increased willingness to contribute for the Lord’s cause, and a pleasure in hear- ing God’s word and in praying. 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. The weekly preaching in the bazaar was carried on as much as time permitted.

MERCANTILE AND INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMEN T, Mr. C. Riehm (1860), General Agent and Treasurer of the Mission, Principal of the Mercantile Establishment. Mwr. C. Schober (1867), Assistant. Mr. N. Weitbrecht (1871), do. 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. UDAPY. Rev. A. Mdinner (1857), Rev. W. Stokes (1860) (on sick-leave), Rev. F. Mdiiller (1861), Rev. L. Langel (1868), (on sick-leave), Rev., J. A. Brasche (1870), Rev. N. Hiibner (1871). NATIVE DEACON: Rev. Diego Fernandez. My Stokes left Udapy for Kaity in March 1871 and M. 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. 28 The Preparandi-School had an unusual increase in numbers. pupils were instructed in 4 classes, after 2 had been dismissed as un- fit. At the end of the year 3 entered the Catechist Seminary in Mangalore. Mr. Miiller and 3 Catechists are in charge of the School. In the Training Class for teachers, 2 pupils were instructed by Mr. Miiller and Mr. Brasche. Mr. Brasche bad together with Mr. Hartmann and two Native Assistants the care of the Orphanage for boys, in which 51 boarders 8 of the boarders were sent to and 22 day-scholars were educated. the Hubly Boarding School to make room for others. There are day-schools in Gudde, Shirwa and Kattupadi which are at#gnded by Christian and partly by heathen children. e 32 KARKALA. FRev. R. Hartmann (1859), Rev. P. Ott (1871). The Mission-house is building just now. After it is completed Mission work will be begun in the environs. 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. ittel continued his literary work chiefly in preparing old 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. Miiller is in charge of the Mercantile Business, 33 ANANDAPUR Rev. H. 4. Kaundinya (1851), Rev. A. Wenger (1861). Mr. Wenger and the station have had the great affliction of los- ing Mrs. Wenger who died in Mercara the 12th October 187 1. (V Appendix.) Mr. Wenger also suffered from fever, Mr. and Mrs. Wenger tried as long as they were in Anandapur to raise the Parish School whilst Mrs. Keundinya began and superin- tended an Industrial School, which was chiefly attended by the girls of the congregation Mr. Wenger also preached to the heathen Some heathens Mr. Kaundinya has charge of the congregation. were under instruction, but only three of them were fit for baptism. Several shocking cases of sinful life have come to light and caused the exclusion of the evil-doers. The deficient cordjtions of Anandapur have been the subject of serious deliberation in the course of this year The n- but a way to remedy all the evils has not yet been seen vestigation showed that the place is so unhealthy that not only the Missionaries suffer very much, but even amongst the native congrega- I tion the number of deaths has for several years been much in excess of the number of births On Sundays Canarese sermons are preached for the congregation and every alternate Sunday English sermons for the Planters of the ;(1 neighbourhood IL. SOUTHERN MAHRATTA COUNTRY DHARWAR Rev. Titus Costa (1861), Rev. J. Welsch (1871) ? On the 6th July Mr. Krauss was suddenly called away by death 6 when everybody considered him to be in full health., He had worked in this station for 7 years although he could not see many results (V. Appendix.) 5 e 34 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 35 . [ 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. 5% g e 36 A school with 81 heathen and 2 Christian boys was carried on in Bettigherry and one with 11 boys in Shagoti Nawalli and the out-station Shagoti give promise of future results | GULEDGUD Rev. Ch 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. E III. MALABAR. CA&NANORE. Rev. J. M. Fritz (1839), in charge of the Congregation, Senior Missionary of the Basel Mission in India. Rev. G« Hanhart (1857), itinerating Missionary. Rev. S. Walter (1865), in charge of the out-station Chowa. Mr. S. G. Schoch (1857), Superintendent of the Weaving Establishment. Mr. W. P. Schoenthal (1870), Assistant to Mr. Schoch. - Rev.ﬂ A. Bourquin (1871). 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. The Anglo-Vernacular School had 93 boys under 4 teachers. e 38 NS I e The Weaving Establishment under the care of Mr. Schock and Mr. Schoenthal gives work to 66 Christians and 15 heathen workmen The Vernacular School in Muliyil has 80 boys and 10 girls The Girly’ Boarding School has 36 boarders and 4 day-scholars The Branch Congregation at Chowa, 4 miles from Cannanore, was under the care of Mr. Walter For 4 months he officiated for ar Hanhart in Cannanore. Mrs. Walter takes care of the girls of the congre- gation A schoolmaster instructs the children, and a Catechist helps in the congregation and carries the Gospel to the heathen. (V. page 16.) TELLICHERRY Rev. Chr. Miiller (1842), Rev. J. Kittel (1867); Mr. W. Schmolck (1869) Mr. Reinhardt left for Europe in February 1871, so that azr Miiller had also to take charge of the Anglo-Vernacular School in addition to his work in the congregations in Nettur and in the town, in the poor-house, and in preparing books for the Press Mr. J. Kittel took charge of the bazaar preaching and of The Preparandi-School, in which he was assisted by 3 teachers One of the teachers, Catechist Diego Fernandez was ordained as Deacon and transferred to Shirwa near Udapy. The school had 32 pupils. One of them is now Evangelist and one was sent to the Catechist Seminary in Mangalore Mr. Schmolck had charge of the Orphanage, the Training Class and 2 Vernacular Schools. Mrs. Schmolck took part in the teaching | at the Orphanage ;E 7 advanced to the Preparandi-School This school had 61 boys 159 One boy died ten days after entering the school. The 4 pupils of the Training Class took their lessons in the Prepa- randi-School and from Mr. and Mrs. Schmolck, and had besides practi- % cal exercise in the Orphanage. The two schools in the town have the one 20 and the other 65 pupils, ——— 39 CHOMBALA Rev. J. Lauffer (1856) NATIVE DEACON Rev. Paul Chandren 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 We trust he has had some success and will have still more in future In April 1872 Mr. Layffer was compelled to leave for Europe on ac- count of ill-health o CALICUT Rev. Th. Schauffler (1860), Rev. J. Knobloch (1865 Mr. F. Matthissen (1867), Mr. Th. Elsdsser (1867), Mr. G. Spillmann (1869) 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 Rt el 40 R sia preaching the Gospel to the heathen In this he was assisted by a number of Catechists who, though mostly young, have their Lord’ work at heart. Of Tracts and School-hooks were sold 4102 copies for Rs. 6 6 6-15-5 Another Colporteur chiefly through the agency of the Colporteur paid by the Madras Bible Society, sold 1185 Scriptures or Scripture Portions in Malayalam, English, Tamil, Telugu, Canarese and Hindu- stanee and realized Rs. 105-11-3 The Anglo-Vernacular School had 4 teachers and 116 boys of whom 16 are Christians A Vernacular School, chiefly intended for the children of the congrezation, was opened in Calicut and contains 20 Christian and 8 heathen boys Another Vernacular School was re-opened in Putiangadi after ha- ; ying been closed for some years, and has 50 boys The Weaving Establishment under the care of Mr. Matthissen gives work to 48 Christians and 4 heathens. Af The Carpenter Workshop gives work to 22 Christians and 16 heathens Both establishments are doing well and fulfil their purpose of training the Christians to honest and industrious work The Mercantile Business was under the care of Mr. Elscisser The Girls’ Boarding School was under the care of Mr. and Mrs Schaufler and Mrs. Knobloch, assisted by two male and one female tea- cher, and it contained 68 boarders and 12 day-scholars. Mrs. Schaugler left for Europein March 1871 (V. pages 12. 22.) CODACAL 1 Rev. Ch. Rock (1864) NATIVE DEACON: Rev. Joseph Jacobi. Mr. Rock and the Deacon had together the charge of the congre- gation and preached the Gospel frequently in the neighbourhood to- gether with two Catechists i —_— 41 Mr. Rock dedicated much of his time to raise the efficiency of the Christian School The Deacon and the Catechists made frequent preaching tours in different directions The out-station Paraperi is under the care of a Catechist, there 15 also a school for Christian children in that place Of the catechumeni only one was baptized and the rest had to be dismissed. But another batch of 12 has gathered now and are under f instruction for baptism Mr. Rick and the wife of the Paraperi Catechist gather the women 0 for prayer-meetings (V. page 18.) PALGHAUT 1} 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. gi 43 ——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 48 Caste all thy cares on even this day restore me to health, if it were His will Him Shortly we shall be united again 20 Friedrich Krauss was born on the 3rd May 1835 in Lauffen, Germany ; he entered the Mission College in Basel in 1855 and arrived in India in 1860 he was first stationed in Malasamudra and, after this station had been given up, in Kaity, and then, since 1864, in Dharwar, where he died on the 6th July 1871. aking, faithful servants of the tob) He was one of those hard working, painst Lord, who see only a very small portion of the fruits of their labours during this lifetime, but whose reward will be great in heaven He devoted himself On the 29th June entirely to the work of itinerary preaching to the heathen 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- ed him: he asked for a man to accompany him (as his servant was behind he asked for with the luggage, but nobody was willing to go with him water,—sometimes they gave him none, sometimes the worst they could get ) At last he arrived in Dharwar But all attempts to save his life were in vain. In two days he was dead Mrs. Krauss, soon after, left for Europe, almost broken down; but she did not reach home without having sustained a second loss her baby having died at Aden, where it was buried 3. Verena Wenger, née Heiniger, was born the 12th April 1842 in Eriswyl 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 In 1870 she had the gratification of : aking a leading part in the establishment of a small boarding school for Badaga children; but at the end of the same year she and her husband removed ? ; to Anandapur in Coorg Within twelve months of their arrival there, she died. on the 12th October 1871, of fever, shortly after her confinement The many, who have enjoyed her hospitality at Kaity and all those who have experienced her friendship, will never forget her patient, gentle and peace- ful character. s = zg Expendituee of the Filission during the year 1871 —_—TTl T Rs As '-U Personal Expenditure for 53 Missionaries (31 married 57,747 = and 22 unmarried) and 3 Missionary Widows Journeys, including Home-passages 25,830 Munshis .
