Ps. 136, 1. So we also must belp cc 4 exclaim at the-end of this year, when we look to the His ser Lord’s goodness to thisﬁ country, His church, and us, His midst workmen. Bef Looking at the country at large, we see that He has made the pa the earth to yield again her increase, and alleviated thereby which the sufferings of the people. The church has consequently tlong derived the double benefit of seeing the honest labourer re- Indiy, lieved and rewarded, and in some places of getting rid of half- artyeg hearted hangers-on. We have been cheered by hopeful signs of spiritual life in some of our congregations and by a greater passag| with |y willingness of the heathen here and there to receive the Gospel. much- At the same time we have been deeply impressed with the im- Missiy portance of our charge, by the sudden death of two of our alreag number, the final departure of our two veterans, Messrs.

We however have to mourn, that in the year under review our congregations and schools have absorbed so much time, and that in consequence not more has been done in direct Mission work, than we have succeeded in accomplishing, the ingathering of last year from the heathen having been not more than an average one. Knowing that, however diligently we may plant and water the vineyard, it is God alone, who gives the increase, and who will perform everything by His spirit in His own good time, that He might be glorified in and for His by all, we lift up our eyes to the mountains from whence our 50 must help comes and pray that He may pour out His spirit on us, : to the His servants, our congregations and on the heathen in the s, His midst of whom we live.

Doubtless he has been pleased to see how much has of our already been done in the Lord’s vineyard, and to receive the o Fril tributes of esteem and love with which he has been hailed o our by every congregation that he has visited. As the inspection is still progressing, we cannot venture on any remarks re- speking 51‘V€11ﬂy specting it. We wish him a hearty God-speed.

Things went on in a pretty smooth groove, till the famine visited the land, and as he could not 1€avg1 satisfy his landlord, he was ejected, as he says, without receiving any Thig compensation either for his house or the improvements he had made the ) on his land.

Jo1ip- Our five Anglo-Vernacular Schools at Mangalore, Dharwar, rches Tellicherry, Calicut and Palghaut, have had among them an athen increase from 1423 (in 1879) to 1594 ; the increase in Christian ot 10 boys being 36. That of Mangalore (see last year’s Report, o 866 p. 77) on account of the rival schools mentioned there, (taking of our the higher and lower divisions together), has lost about 46 ective pupils, so that only 329 are now on the rolls. It did, however, so well that all the nine boys of the upper fourth class sent up to the Comparative Examination passed, 6 being placed in the first class. We regret that Mr. Miiller has been re- moved to the Nilagiris. In the Calicut Anglo-Vernacular School the number has risen from 275 to 305, and in the Tellicherry Anglo-Vernacular School from 166 to 206, (the is the Vernacular feeders in each several case included).

Two others have digd, of whom we give the thelr following short account. nder Joseph Mirandez, as we learn from Mr. Knobloch’s report, was 1068 born in Anjengo of Catholic parents on the 17th June 1817. He ning left his home in 1841 with his wife, and established himself at i ey Cannanore as teacher and tailor. Here he received the first impres- sions of a life in God through Mr. Hebick's preachings and tracts. In 1857 he was employed at Taliparambu as teacher till 1862. 1ts, In 1858 Mr. Hebick, who took a great interest in the family, having convinced them of the truth of the Gospel, received them into the 41, el Evangelical Church. ‘From 1862 till 1872, he was employed as one of the teachers in fold ne1l, our Anglo-Vernacular School in Calicut. As he discharged his duties the faithfully and was desirous to testify of Christ to Christians and hea- ofly thens, he was installed a local preacher. He had been able to make {2 himself useful only for 21 years, when in March 1875 he had a paralytic stroke. Sickness and death in his family and his increasing weakness ripened him for eternity. When administering the Holy ife Supper to him for the last time, I asked him, Mr. K. remarks, whether he put his sole trust in Jesus and rejoiced to have found pardon in the blood of the Lamb. He breathed a joyful Yes, and confirmed it by a hearty shake of his emaciated hand, whilst his face brightened up with joy. He died on the 12th March 1880. About the other Catechist, 447. Wagner of Codacal writes: al Mattu Peter was born in 1827, South of Cochin of Roman Ca- tholic parents, who died when he was 9 years old. His guardian appropriated his inheritance and entirely neglected him and his sister. Subsequently an English gentleman, pained at seeing the d d children leading a vagabond life, sent them in 1839 to the Orphanage 70 ————— at Tellicherry. Tt On leaving the Seminary in 1844, Mattu was made Catechist, He served at different Stations, among others in Tellicherry, ants 1 where he was house-father in the Boys’ Orphanage for several years, works and laterly in the Paraperi Boys’ Orphanage in the same capacity. love In 1879 he was bitten in the hand by an irritated monkey. The and 1 Civil Surgeon of Calicut declared amputation to be necessary, but autpo Mattu had not the nerve to undergo the operation. The conse- of th quence was that his whole system was fatally affected. He bore may his sufferings with Christian patience, and assembling his family before his death, said: I am dying now; be not sorry for me”, and Wor fell asleep on the 20th March 1880. 11z Our fifty-six Catechists and thirteen Evangélis‘cs,_making 69 Chrig in all, are employed as follows: Eleven are engaged in School- Scho work, twelve are assisting in Congregations at the different Stations, twenty-two are in charge of Out-stations, twenty-four are employed in Itineracy, and of these five are set apart to nage Scho work certain of the larger districts, namely: One for South- Malabar, one for North-Malabar, one for South-Canara, one for North-Canara and one for the Cooly-Mission in Coorg. nage The Catechists attached to each Station meet monthly Slsts at most of their respective head-quarters for prayer and instruction. ther The yearly meetings of Catechists, of which the Report for hea 6r§ 1879 gives a detailed description on page 65ff.,, took place last year in Canara and Malabar. Very Twenty-five Canara Catechists met at Mangalore from qual of the 2nd to the 8th November under Messrs. Graeter, Walz 3 P and Focl ouy Our Principal, the Rzz. O. Sckolf, improved the occasion by a short and stirring address. Ver Of the Malabar Catechists twenty-three met at Calicut from. s 1 the 19th to the 22nd October under Messrs. Diez, Knobloch the and the Native Pastor Abdrakam Aulil. v by e 71 s made These meetings are very important for our Native Assist- cherry, ants in strengthening the feeling in them that they are fellow- | years, workers together in the Lord’s Vineyard, in cultivating brotherly pacity, The love and in giving them new impulses towards self-improvement and mental and moral culture. We wish them an abundant bt outpouring of the Holy Spirit that they all may become pillars conse- ¢ hore of the Church, and that each one of them in his several sphere family may be a witness for Christ and a living comrpentary of the " and Word he preaches. The Educational Staff of our Mission comprises 129 persons, V1Z 70 Christian Schoolmasters (against 65 in 1879), 25 ng 69 Christian Schoolmistresses (against 21in 1879), and 34 Heathen chool- erent Schoolmasters. four Our Christian Schoolmasters are employed in the Orpha- nages, Parochial, Heathen Vernacular, and Anglo-Vernacular it t0 Schools. outh 6 101 The Christian Schoolmistrésses are engaged in Girls’ Orpha- nages, Girls’ Parochial, Infant and Heathen Girls’ Schools. A little more than one-fourth of our teaching staff con- me sists of Heathen Schoolmasters. We employ about eight of and them in Heathen Vernacular Schools in localities where the heathen population is still prejudiced against Christian Teach- - for ers. The remaining 26 are engaged in our High- and Anglo- lace Vernacular Schools, as we have but few Christians who are qualified to teach the higher standards. Of the eleven Catechists [om of whom we spoke on a preceding page, eight are employed” in 0 Iy our Seminary and Middle Schools, and three in our Anglo- the Vernacular Schools. Our Teachers have done much good work in the past year as the table of Grants shows. it Valuable as the discipline of ik the mind is in our eyes, we hope our fellow-labourers in this branch will keep in mind that their chief work is to prepare 72 M oAl their pupils for eternity. «“Every man’s work shall be made spe Mr manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be re- vealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.” 1. Cor. iii, 13 of K i IX. THE STAFF OF EUROPEAN AGENTS. Ap A great many changes have occurred during the year under review. Our ranks have been thinned through failing Ca i health,sickness and death, making nearly one-fifth of the whole staff, as in 1875, and though the gaps have been partly filled B an( up by new arrivals, we are still somewhat short of men. Many Zransfers caused by these and other circumstances hag have taken place by the order of our beloved Principal, the Whe her Rev. O. Schott, which our readers will find on pages 6 to 12. We now give a short resumé of occurrences connected with In 10 this Department during the year. - Ordination: Mr. Wersmann was ordained }on the 6th Jan. al( 1881, and was placed in charge of the congregation at Chovva. gre, As his health was somewhat delicate while still at College, and as doubts were entertained whether a tropical climate g, do would suit him, he had been sent out on trial as Lay Mis- sionary. We are glad to state that the change to India has Ing restored his health. Ma; ‘Reinforcements : Three parties, the first headed by our res- (ng pected Principal, arrived in October and December 1880 and heg) in January 1881. They consisted of the following old members: {0 ] My. & Mrs. Walz and Mr. & Mrs. Daimelhuber, who had Talg Udapy and Mercara assigned as their new stations, whereas His Myr. & Mrs. Elsisser and Mr. & Mys. Digel have returned I { to their old spheres of labour at Calicut and Mangalore re- s hag 73 S ade spectively. Mr. Bachmann has been appointed to Chombala, 16 My. Dilger to Tellicherry, and Mr. Stierlen to Cannanore. of The following Missionaries have married during the course of the year. Mrs. Weigele was married to Mr. Liilze, Miss L. Wolf to Mr. Niibling, Miss Ritter to Mr. F. Verl, Miss Klaiber to My. Micg, Miss Schinleber to Mr. Benner, and Miss Christen to Mr. Altenmiiller. Departures: To the long list of departures in March and April 1880, headed by our venerable Senior A/7. Fritz, late of 6ar [ing Cannanore (see Report for 1879, pp. 62, 63), we have to add two departures late in May 1880. Myr. Mack, whose nervous hole [led system through continual fevers had been greatly weakened, and who was in danger of losing his eye-sight, was obliged to hasten home with his wife and family, and Mrs. Gundert, 1068 whose hushand had died on the 8th of May, left Mangalore with the her two orphan children in the course of the same month. 12 mith In the words penned by her late husband on a similar occasion in the last Report, we pray that «the Father of the fatherless and the Judge of the widow be a sun and shield and exceeding Jan great reward to her and hers.” Tva While we are writing these lines (21st March 1881) several 6ge, members of our body have left for Home, and others will nate do so shortly. Among the former was the last of our \is- has Indian pioneers, our venerable A/r. Bihrer, who laboured in Mangalore and Mulky in the Tulu country from 1842 to 1866 When his (including furlough on sick-leave 1857-1858). 10 health began to give way a second time, he was transferred and to Kaity in 1865 and to Kotargiri in 1867, which was then jers: raised from the rank of an Out-station to that of a Station. hqd His labours on the Hills were interrupted through his absence feﬂs in the Tulu country in 1869 for some six months, where he mEd 16 had been sept to help to draw in the net during the Tulu 10 — 74 movement. Mr. & Mpys. Bihrer leave us for good. May the by ¢ Lord give them a bright and happy evening of life. They have 184 been followed by Mr. Richter, who has severed his connection Di ther with the Mercantile Mission-Branch, and by 177, & Myrs. Héirlin. Those who are just about to leave us are: Mr. & Mrs. Brasche, foun The Mr. & Mys. Hirner, Mr. & Mys. Welsch, and Mr. & Mrs. fenc Hafner. We hope and trust that their failing health may be In | soon restored, and that they may be soon given back to Tha their several spheres of labour.

The short illness, however, of Afr. Gundert and (day Mrs. Wagner had a fatal issue. Both were carried off in the the prime of life from a sphere of usefulness, and we deeply feel 10 of i the gap made by their loss. We subjoin a short Obituary. ‘ Samuel Gundert, the second son of the Rev. Dr. H. Gundert, was‘ conf born at Tellicherry on the 4th of August 1840. He was baptized they 75 the by the late Rev. Samuel Hebich When his parents went home in 1ave 1846 to recruit their broken health, he accompanied them to Germany 1on iy . Gundert placed him and two other children with his aged father, I then the Secretary of the Bible Society at Stuttgardt, where they all found a second home and prospered in its spmtual atmosphere. W, Irs The grandfather watched with prayer over his charge and superin- tended their studies in the German School and in the Gymnasium v be In 1854 the venerable man entered the rest of the people of God. {0 That very year Samuel heard an impressive appeal by our late b 4 880 Principal, the Rev. J. Josenhans, calling upon young men to enter the Mission service He could not shake off the thought, and when he our had resolved to enter the ranks, he consulted his parents His father said «Ipn the Mission-field we want more than merely will- y of ing, respectable, and educated men We require men endued ects with the power of God, ready to fight single handed in the cause of Of nfly the Lord under the most discouraging and trying circumstances thy men such as Lot, who simply deplore and sigh over wickedness, there are many; but how few are the Abrahams, who are princes of God CJ among unbelievers! The power of God is not acquir ed through study ave and good intentions, but through faith.” Humbled, butalso encouraged ity he sought the face of the Lord in earnest prayer, and when he felt for sure that it was not mere inclination but a Divine call, he offered his services to the Basel Mission Committee. He entered the Mission xmd College with his elder brother /ermann in 1858, and after having and qualified himself and received his ordmatlon, he sailed for Malabar Dr in 1863, where he was stationed in Cannanore. He rapidly acquir- ot ed a knowledge of Malayalam, and assisted in the English and Mala- yalam Services. In 1866 he married Miss Elizabeth Isenberg (daughter of the Rev. Isenberg, late of Bombay), and took charge of and the Chovva settlement, where he conjointly with Mr. Walter, toiled the to raise the religious life and moral tone of the inhabitants, many He gradually gained the feel of whom were formerly a race of slaves confidence and affection of the people and when he left in 1867 749 they showed many proofs of attachment and thankfulness From 1867 to 1870 he was stationed at Palghaut “What shall zd 10% 76 —— Isay about Palghaut?” he writes, “our hearts are daily fluctuating bet- ren tha ween fear and hope, joy and sorrow. There are signs of spiritual life here and there; in other places we see our hopes ruthlessly shattered. pre The spirit of caste being stronger and more unbroken than on the I€1] he coast, converts here have to encounter greater trials and hardships than elsewhere. Yet we are to go on in our work patiently”. In ren sur 1870 he was transferred to Kaity on the Nilagiris. Two new languages, the Canarese and Badaga, had then to be learned in order o to preach. In 1873 one of those malicious fevers, which one often Qu gets in the Kundahs, threatened to carry him off, but the Lord had an compassion on him and raised him up again. tin lag In January 1874 he was called to fill up the place of Malayalam Theological Teacher at the Catechist Seminary of Mangalore. Six Mi years of patient sowing the Lord had granted unto him. He loved de his work and his pupils, who were qualifying themselves as future L preachers of the Native Church. He enjoyed the preaching tours the with the Malayalam students, especially his last trip in 1879 which the he extended as far South as Tellicherry. As Secretary of our (0] Mission he rendered good service. 18 After the term of 1879-1880 was over in April, he felt over- W( worked, and hastened with his family and Messrs. Hock and Krapf to Th the Sanitarium on the Kudremukh (60 miles North-east of Mangalore) in order to recruit his strength. Always a great walker, he seems to thy have injured himself on the fatiguing road up the Mukh, and in order it to shake off a feeling of sluggishness and dullness which remained, he St ventured to climb a summit, where a cold northerly wind evidently Wl affected him, He was seized by an obstinate fever, and when he felt thy difficulty in breathing, he believed that he had got an attack of By pleurisy, and desired to be taken back to Mangalore. The tiresome Ie Journey was accomplished rapidly by the Lord’s goodness on the 22nd and 23rd April without any harm. Dr. Eyre kindly attended him and o fo declared he was suffering from intermittent fever, and treated him for some days. W Whilst he was lying sick, he had to go through a 00 great struggle. After seventeen years of active service he had 1 longed to go home in 1881, in order to see once more his aged pa- (g 7 PSSR et rents, and to gef new bodily strength and refreshment in the spirit., Life that he might the better return, and enter again on the work of direct red, preaching to the heathen.

Our Brother now reached home in the truer sense of the Ter word. 'We place our hands silently on our mouths saying: “Lord, fto Thy will be done.” Augusta Julia Wagner, born on the 1st of Nov. 1855 at Calicut was ore) She was 5 10 the fourth daughter of our veteran Missionary Mr. Fritz. married to Mr. Wagner, late of Codacal, on the 21st of Nov. 1878. oder he She learned Malayalam very qui'ckly, and seized every opportunity, nily when visited by-the women of the congregation or visiting them in their houses, to testify of Christ and of the peace and comfort in Him. folf of Even Heathens and Mohammedans thus got to hear something about Jesus, both men and women. She was also on visiting terms with the me nd poor heathen women who lived round Codacal. Yet not only to testify to the truth, but also to advise the poor and to administer to their and wants, she was ever ready and willing. She had long wished to ac- jim ha company Mr. Wagner on one of his preaching tours. It was in Nov. 1880 that he took her with him to Malapuram. When passing the jad cemetery there, she silently gazed on it. A few days after their p& e 78 arrival, she was seized with twistin the bowels. Aware of her danger- ous situation, she penned a letter to her parents, took farewell of all Ba present, gave different orders and desired to be left alone with her Al he God and Lord. But, wonderful to say, sherecovered. Yet after some days’ fever, diarrheea and other complaints set in, and she rapidly In —r sank. At the beginning of the disease she had reproached herself aW 0 for not having lived more in the light of eternity; but after having made sure of full pardon in the blood of the Lamb, she waited pa- he tiently for the call of her Master. 1n The night before her death she blessed her little girl. On the 24th of November at 2 A. w. she said: b “I'am dying.” Her husband prayed with her, and she repeated the be prayer and a number of selected Bible passages, which are balm and comfort to a distressed soul. Then she took farewell of her husband, gave him charge of her child, and ldoke_d steadily heavenwards. She | Ye wanted to rise, but being prevented, she exclaimed: “Oh my bre- thren, do not detain me; I am going to Jesus, and hasten tomeet him.” hi They (her husband and Mr. Jaus) showing themselves as if in doubt, she exclaimed: “There, Jesus is standing, he has a light in his hand, N and there is the angel who is to carry me home. Pray do not keep 1] me back, the open door might be shut! Oh what a glory, what a dazzling splendour! Victory! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! | Christ has finished all. i I have no merit of my own. Yea 1t is finished! Amen.” She continued in these reveries till she fell asleep at 4 . m. At 41 a.w a short death-struggle began which ended her youthful life at 5 a. . onthe 24th of November 1880. M. Wagner, in compliance with the express wish of his late wife, took her in a i B T e ey coffin to Codacal (near Tiroor). At10 .. on the 25th of November T five Missionaries and Mrs. Walter, the sister of Mrs. Wagner, arrived \1 by train from Calicut, who assisted at her burial, Mr. Knobloch offici- { ating. We have still to tell our friends of the demise of three old Indians. Maria Hahn, since 1875 the relict of Mr. Hakn, late of the Coorg Mission, died after a protracted sickness at Esslingen the 1.3th May 1880. 79 ——— T Pauline Hoch, born 19th July 1825 at Rothenfluh, Canton of i Basel, was married to the Rev. G. W. Hoch, then Manager of the er Anglo-Vernacular School at Mangalore 1851. In conjunction with 16 her husband she kept a small Boarding-house for European and East- Iy Indian boys, but the failing health of both forced them to give it up She lost her husband at Frankfort )i and to return to Europe in 1860. on the Main in 1865, and has since been living to the education of 8 ) her children, one of whom Mr. M. Hoch is now engaged as Missionary in India. It After a protracted disease, she died at Basel, rejoicing in the Lord, on the 30th of December 1880. 16 James Huber was born on the 21st of November 1814 at Gottlie- ben, Canton Thurgau, in Switzerland. His grand-parents and parents d were poor but pious people, who educated him in the fear of the Lord. 0 16 He kept aloof from the extravagancies of youth. And after his con- version at Geneva, the open-hearted, amiable and humble traits of his character attracted the attention of Christian friends, and they helped him to study in the Theological Seminary of the Evangelical Society at Geneva from 1836 to 38. Feeling inwardly called to preach the Gospel to the heathen, he sought and obtained admittance 5 into the Missionary College at Basel where he studied from 1838 to 42. In September 1842 he came to India and was stationed in Mangalore, 15 Hubly and Calicut. God has saved his life most miraculously on several occasions, the most remarkable being in a terrible storm in P the harbour of Bombay in 1854, with his wife and two children, when d % His 150 vessels were wrecked and 250 persons lost their lives. 7y astronomical and physical instruments attracted many Hindoos, who would perhaps otherwise not have sought the acquaintance of a 8 i Missionary. “I had occasion,” he once reports, “to show my visitors the wonders of the starry heaven and of nature; but above all to speak to them of the wonder of wonders related in John iii, 16.” 0 In 1855 the failing health of Mrs. Huber forced him to go to Europe. From 1855 to 1870 he was advocating the claims of our Society, as Missionary preacher. In 1870 he became Co-pastor of the Hospital at Basel. In this capacity he showed much love and devotion, visiting the sick and afflicted in the Hospital, the Lunatic Asylum, the 80 e Poor-house and the Home for Invalids. Besides this he endeavoured for to raise the masses by means of popular lectures and to show to the iff working classes his Christian sympathy in different ways. He fell the asleep on the 15th of January 1881, an unassuming happy Christian, the ever ready to do any one a useful service, loved and respected by all. (0 M Hor A THEINSPECTING TOUR OF OUR BRINCIPAL B, Wo LHE REV. @0 SCHOTHT, tra Slg Our readers of the Report for 1879 will remember that me our late Principal, the Rev. ¥. Fosenhans, visited our Indian mo; Mission in the years 1851 to 1852. This was the first ins- ha Me: pection. Since then nearly thirty years have elapsed; and our Mission has not had the benefit of another general inspec- the tion until the arrival of our revered Principal, the Rez. O Ch all Schott, whom we have duly introduced in the beginning of this Report. As we think our friends will be glad to hear some- I8 Th thing of his inspection, which has been brought to its close the whilst we pen these lines (25th March), we will give a short (o extract from his letters to the Missionary Messenger (Der th¢ FEvangelische Heidenbote). of ]lingalore, October 262k, 188o0. i) Coming from Bombay, our steamer anchored in the roads of Lo Mangalore on the morning of the 25th of October. A deputation of far three Missionaries and of fourteen delegates from the Mangalore il Mission Church, who presented an address, came to meet me on board the steamer and to accompany me ashore. The Choir of the Church met us in another boat and followed us, singing hymns and choruses, to the quay. There we found a large crowd waiting to receive us. Ch ‘We then went to Balmattha. The road leading from the entrance of the compound to the Church had been simply but tastefully decorated ha SR S 81 ired for the occasion. Moving on to the Church, we were greeted in the different places, first by the Choir of the Seminary, then by that of fell the Parochial School, and lastly by that of the Infant School. We ian, then entered the Church, which had also been decorated. It was all, crowded to the very doors with an eager and enthusiastic assembly. Mr. Mdnner opened with prayer and introduced me to the congrega- tion. Afterwards the address of the Church-members was read in English and Canarese and presented to me in a beautiful sandal- L, wood box. I made an address to the congregation, which was translated by Mr.Graeter into Canarese. I must confess that the sight of such a large collection of Native Christians deeply affected hat me, and, as it generally happens, that, when the heart is full it is Afterwards [ian most difficult to find the right words, so it was with me. 1n§ Messrs. Walz and Daimelhuber, formerly Canara Missionaries, who and had accompanied me, gave a short address, and Mr. Manner closed )EC the solemn occasion with prayer and benediction; whereupon several Choirs struck up some appropriate hymns. Thus our Christians did all in their power to make my reception as pleasant as possible, yet his I fully believe that the festivities were not entirely on my account. 16 The congregation wanted to give expression to the debt of gratitude 056 they owe to European Christians and especially to the Mission ot Committee at Basel, and to show that they are happy in the new life 4 they have received, and that they are conscious of the importance of the Evangelical Mission Church. The bangalow of the late Mr. Gundert was set apart for me and my companion Mr. Preiswerk. It was with serious reflections that I entered it. of The Lord’s goodness and mercy has brought us thus of far His holy name be praised.

In the evening I went to the Burial ground, about a mile off, lying Se on a hill, to see the last resting place of some of our Missionaries, who pr have died in God’s service. Here seven adults and four children are liy buried. Those who have died before them, lie buried in the English fa Cemetery in the town. The barren appearance of the surrounding fc country, the dusk of the evening, and the howling of jackals added to the melancholy feelings of the occasion. e Honore, November 25¢h, 1880. il §01 How rapidly the time I spent in Mangalore from the 25th of Oct. the to the 8th of Nov. has passed! Although I strained every nerve, I (Cf did not succeed in seeing all I wished, and am obliged to leave many things for my next visit. More than that, I have painfully felt the fro want of a knowledge of the Native languages. To talk through a translator, be he ever so clever a man, takes away from the warmth fin [ and vivacity of the conversation; and to form through this medium Wh a correct idea of the spiritual state of either new Converts or old AT Church-members, is beset with many difficulties. T had mostly to On the 1 form my ideas from the expression of the countenance. whole, we find here spiritually living and lame Christians just as at n ¢h home, according to the word of the Lord: “Many are called, but few are chosen.” From all I have seen and heard, I have been convinced o that it is the duty of every Native Christian to earn his own living ho lg and not to be chargeable to others. Let them only begin to make an effort, and they will find that necessity is the mother of invention. ¥ i The more our Christians learn to care for themselves, the better it will be for their spiritual life. I was greatly interested in the Bazaar-preaching, which I had O ary several times occasion to hear. The trial addresses of the students were characterized by timidity, as is everywhere the case with th R m————— beginners; some addresses of the Cafechists, however, were very sed creditable. The audience was quiet and attentive. At home one &1”, often hears Bazaar-preaching traduced, but let any one once come 1056 and see for himself such a crowd, and he will soon be convinced of age the necessity of it, as well as of the blessings it confers. I have also seen the Anglo-Vernacular and the Brahmin Girls’ ing Schools of our Mission at Mangalore, and have been agreeably sur- 7ho prised to see what influence this branch of work must have on the are lives of the people. I was charmed with the bright and intelligent lish faces of the Brahmin girls, and long to see the females of India released ling from their chains of superstition and 'spiritual death. ded From the 8th to the 13th of November Mulky and its Out-stations were visited. In the Out-station Padur there was a small gathering in the verandah of an Elder.

On the high- road in the depth of the night, assisted by the light of a lantern, morphia was injected but without much relief, till a good dose of opium deadened the pain. ‘We reached Mercara on the 6th of Janu- Ca ary and took up our quarters with our Missionaries in the newly acquired Mission-house, which is beautifully situated on a hill.

On the 15th of February we continued our journey to Calicut. of The Calicut Christians had sent a boat with six oarsmen, as far as 103 Wadagery, to speed me on my journey. As I was forced however of to lie continuously in ome position, I felt so fatigued after a six (Al hours’ journey, that, when we reached Calicut, I was obliged to (al disappoint the congregation, which had met purposely to receive tha me, and to hasten to bed. With the exception of a lively corres- for pondence called for by certain occurrences, I enjoyed some days’ rest, during which, however, I could only visit our High School. : On the 27th I was able to address the Calicut congregation, and I consider it afterwards to attend several meetings on business. fro an especial favor and an answer to prayer that I felt strong enough 15 to attend the Conference of our Malabar and Hill Missionaries. On aft the 2nd of March I opened the meeting with an address in German 10 on i.Tim. iv, 12, the Missionaries and their wives being present. Afterwards we met in Conference. an Some questions referring to accounts being settled, we spoke on the desirability of proclaiming 1t to with new zeal the Gospel to the Heathen, of the necessity of every lal Missionary making himself well acquainted with the Vernaculars of his District, of the desirability of our Mission disengaging itself as 1§ much as possible from economical pursuits, and lastly of the ex- i pediency of the Native Church gradually providing for its own wants. the I greatly regret that much had to remain undone and unseen. the I could not venture out to see some of our Establishments at Calicut, M far less did T feel equal to the journey to Codacal and Palghaut, a0 much as I longed to see those places where my presence was required.

I hope it will bear its fruits. We left Calicut on the 3rd and reached Mangalore on the 6th of March. I have still much work before me. Current business- matters have still to be settled, and I wish to have a General Meeting of our Mission and a Mission Feast. I praise God heartily that I can again walk about, and read and write, although I have to take care. I am feeling decidedly better, and I have the sure hope that the Lord will b-léss my final work also. His name be praised for ever. We have still to add that our General Meeting was held On the from the 15th to the 18th of March at Mangalore. 15th our beloved Principal gave us a sermon on i. Peteriv,10-12, after which we celebrated the Lord’s Supper. In the after- noon.our Sessions began, Ar. Schott opening with prayer and an address. He introduced it by pointing out, how necessary it was to cultivate the life in God by prayer and meditation, to beware of all that, which estranges those who are fellow- labourers in the common cause, and to consider how our work is the reflex of our spiritual state. Then Mr. Schott gave us his views on different topics, as Preaching to the Heathen, the Presbytery, Native Ministry, School-work, Orphanages, and the Agricultural and Industrial pursuits encouraged by our Mission. He desired a healthy development of our work in accordance with our antecedents; but at the same time he was anxious to see mistakes corrected. Yet he wished it to be understood that he did not meditate any sweeping changes. He required time to sift, correct, and arrange all the im- 12 e 90 pressions received and the informations collected, as he was aware how much harm had been done in the world by un- timely interference. As the alteration of a wheel in a piece of mechanism may throw the whole out of gear, so to inter- fere rashly with any of the existing arrangements may be pro- ductive of fatal consequences. Hence great caution and cir- cumspection are necessary. Our Principal left us for Europe on the 27th of March. Per May he have a safe and prosperous voyage home, and may Jou the Lord so bless the results of the visit he has made to this Mu country, that they may be of permanent benefit to our Mission.
