Report.

—cccoPo——

@HE last year has passed very quietly without any stir-

ring events, yet it is the most fruitful year our Indian

© Mission has ever had.

Several of our old brethren in-

deed have left us for Europe, but under circumstances

which permit us to expect all of them to come back,

and in the meantime other brethren have returned from

Europe to take up their work for the second time.

There

have been some cases of sickness, but less than has happened

in other years, and there has not been one death neither

amongst the European Agents of our Mission nor amongst

Deacons and Catechists.

Thus it behoves us to praise the

Lord for His gracious dealing with us, for His fatherly

care over us, and for the success He has granted us.

“Bless the Lord O my soul: and all that is within me,

bless His holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and for-

get not all His benefits.”

Our Mission in Malabar, however, cannot in the same degree

claim this year as one of particular blessing, having had only

a limited share in the success of last year, having passed

through several struggles in connexion with the case of a young

But on the whole the year has been one of quiet success and

I. INCREASE OF OUR CONGREGATION.

L

We have already mentioned that our congregation has

8

f

grown more in this year than in any previous. We have now

a congregation of 5,757 souls against 5,284 of last year, showing

th

al

an increase of 473 souls (always excluding the 444 Catechu-

mens). It may be interesting to glance at the gradual, though

slow, progress of our congregation during the last 29 years

(

bers themselves, but also the ratio of increase is growing

(1870 marking the period of accelerated growth). Although

76,

we are grateful, even if only the same progression of growth

ind

is not diminishing, yet we must feel that only with an increas-

ed ratio of progression the great work can be achieved, to

which we have put our weak hands, namely the conversion

of the whole nation, and we are full of gratitude towards our

Lord that He allows us to see some beginning of a greater

has

speed in carrying out His work. May we soon be privileged

10W

to mark the yearly increase, not by so many hundreds, but by

thousands, as is already the case in other parts of the world

ing

and of India.

hu

Part of this increase is again due to the excess of births

of whom 206 are adults.*

There are besides 444 Catechu-

1

mens who have joined us and are under instruction for bap-

4

tism, but have not yet been baptized.

Some people wonder

|

at the necessity of instruction before baptism, and will quote

against it the example of Philip baptizing the eunuch of

I:Jt_hiopia (écts. 8‘,7736. 38.). But then it must be considered

cannot be correct to choose for it the number of adult baptisms, as the Indian

gell

Evangelical Review does in No. 9, page 95; there are annually quite a number of

Christian children who by confirmation enter the ranks of adult Christians,

el

without being shown in any part of the Census, so that the virtual increase is

3 or 4 times the number of adult baptisms.

Of the 5,757 Christians of our Mis-

one

sion scarcely 1;000 have been baptized as adults.

have in former Reports spoken much about the nature of these

conversions (if conversion be the proper name for it) which are

of

scarcely the fruit of a thorough change of heart and of a con-

viction of sin and righteousness, but rather of a general feeling

it

that the Missionary brings truth, and especially a desire to get

Not unfrequently worldly desires are

mixed up with it, and anybody knowing the condition of these

down-trodden people, cannot grudge them the desire to raise

ot

themselves to a truly human condition. But they are mistaken,

Now and then some find out the

The room which is used for

services in Padur could not hold all the people, many were standing

them.

One of the converts had begun to bring green twigs for

decoration, and soon the rest took up the idea and decorated the

There have been other baptismal days in several other

out-stations of Mulky and Udapy. But also the Coorg country

0ol

has once more seen the baptism of quite a number of heathens,

\hllq

as they had .in former years taken place mow and then in

Anandapur, but had afterwards partly been counteracted by

gally

20

desertions and apostacies.

The people in Attolimani (an out-

a

station of Anandapur in Coorg, of which we spoke in our 34th

a

Report) have now been baptized. Mr. Veil writes:

h

On the 24th January 1875 we had the first baptism in Attolimani.

01

I invited several Coorgs to be present, but none of them came.

15 adults and 24 children were baptized, and besides 5 persons who

formerly belonged to the Anandapur congregation, but had returned

s

18

to heathenism, were now received back into the congregation.

They

had very much been the cause of the rest becoming Christians.

il

Thus the new congregation in Attolimani numbers 44 souls.

g

(1

We had delayed their baptism for nearly 3 years, partly to test their

¥

sincerity; and their first enthusiasm may in consequence have cooled

down a little.

Yet they now rejoiced that they had reached what

they had desired for so many years; and I had the impression that

all of them felt the importance of the day and were anxious to receive

a blessing from the Lord.

During the previous course of instruction

¥

I had now and then seen proofs of their earnestness in the attentive

listening to my words, and the repetitions they gave in their own

naive way of what they had heard the preceding day.

Before the

(i

day fixed for baptism I called each one of the adults to speak and

1n

pray with him, and they were all visibly and deeply affected.

And

W

the faces of the children were radiant with joy, when I prepared them

R

for the day, and told each one his name and what it meant.

In the

fo

collection made after baptism, besides several smaller coins, four

(s

Rupec-pieces were found, which is much indeed for such poor

Ca

people as they are.

Now also they have a particular joy in “giving

I

something to God” on each Sunday.

Since then the bhilding of the Chapel and of the Catechist’s

on the 31st March by an unostentatious service.

16

Unfortunately some things have also happened somewhat to

damp the joy felt in this increase of our congregation. Partly it

is the discovery of the many debts the people were saddled with,

hey

and which might have been a reason for the dispersal of the congre-

uls

gation, if Christian friends had not stepped forward to hold off the

creditors. Partly several traces of their old heathenish ways have

Then also she did not give her full mind to it.

But once her hus-

took occasion to explain to her the difference between the dying of

The care of the congregations has gone on in the usual

anl

wh

manner as described at length in our last Report, by providing

for their spiritual nurture from the Word of God, by supervis-

an

ing, admonishing, punishing in the way of church-discipline, and

an

also by doing for their outward necessities as much as cir-

ar

cumstances allow and as seems compatible with the true higher

th

interests of our converts.

Just as in so many other spheres of

ferences we had in Mangalore in February 1875 with all the

Missionaries and Native Elders of our Mission in Canara and

This work is carried on by Missionaries and by Catechists.

but preaching to the heathen, such as the Missionaries sta-

tioned in Honore and one or two of those stationed in Kaity.

The visits to the several out-stations furnish however much

opportunity for other Missionaries to reach the heathen.

Of

Now and then opposition is met with; frequently the

The expenses of the school are covered by school-fees and Salary-

Biblical lessons have been given regularly, and in all classes

in Malayalam, partly to youths of 17 and 18 years of age. We had

no direct conversions amongst the boys, but we baptized 2 young men

A touching instance of ﬁl’ial love resting on love to God came to

our knowledge.

In June 1874 a young girl of 8 years was taken

into our school, because her wicked father did not care for his wife

and his children, so that the woman could not but leave him in order

the little girl who from her earliest childhood had a taste of the

wretchedness of the whole family’s condition, gathered up her

courage, and with tears in her eyes begged her father to lead a

new life, to come to church again, and to take the mother to his

house.

Hard as his heart was, he could not resist the pleading of

his little daughter and promised her to do what she begged of him.

at the sudden change that accomplishes within one year what

The defeat of the

One of our Christian

The surplus of a Persian Famine Fund was in 1872 given

So they were directed to turn to Ispahan, which mea-

the Committee in Basel, whilst the second Missionary proceed-

But lo! in the meantime the Church Mission

had passed a resolution to establish a Mission there.

Our

Home Committee entered into negotiations with the Church

Missionary Society, the result of which was that the Church

Mission now will take the Armenian Missionary into their

charge, whilst the money in hand will still be used to erect

and carry on the Orphanage. We think that by this arrange-

ment the Mission in Persia will cease to figure in our Reports.

An appeal made to our Society to open a Mission in Japan

had to be answered in the negative, as the Society is not able

to take up two new enterprises together.
