@HE Lord’s grace has brought us through another year,

has kept agoing our work in all its manifold branches,

'@ spreading over a great extent of country, has spared us

from serious losses of any kind, has prospered our work, and

has given us a measure of success, which, though not as large

as we might wish, yet has been enough to make us thankful

and more than we have deserved. Although His arm has not

been revealed, and His Spirit poured out in that measure which

we wish and pray for, yet His blessing may be seen and His

Spirit has been working in our midst. We may take this as

an earnest of future revelations of the power of God, and we

think, if we are not mistaken, in divers facts we see signs of

the approach of such a time, yea of a full victory of the

Gospel in the Lord’s good time.

All Stations, excepting three, have been privileged to add

a number of souls by baptism to the Church of Christ, amount-

ing altogether to 149, the total increase of the Congregations

being 158. These numbers are not great, even compared with

those of former years; and large numbers are wanting alto-

gether, 26 baptized heathen being the highest, and 15 the next

7

highest reached by the several Stations. = Those large acces-

sions, which we had formerly in the Tulu Country, and after-

wards during the famine time in South-Mahratta, have ceased

altogether for the present, and it may perhaps be said that

we are mow in a time when the masses, come over on those

occasions, are passing through a sifting process, in which a

deal of chaff is blown away. DBut on the other hand, we see

a number of individual converts, who have been brought over

by such a depth of conviction, with such a purity of motives,

showing the direct spiritual work of God so clearly, as was

scarcely ever the case in those accessions of crowds to the

Church. We have noted such cases under Mangalore, Kunda-

And even if the number of such conver-

pur, Guledgud etc.

sions be trifling, compared with the numbers in the other case,

we know that the future of India depends more on such cases

of individual conversion than on the coming of masses of a

mixed nature and with mixed motives.

Of the converts come during the famine, the last have been

baptized during this year, and we are now more than hitherto

enabled to estimate the result.

Outwardly we see that six

years ago the four Stations in South-Mahratta (which was most

atfected by the famine) numbered 414 baptized Christians and

made extremely slow progress, whilst now this number has

risen to 1351.

Many who had joined us during the famine,

left very soon again without baptism, others lingered on for

some years and relapsed with or without baptism, and there

are even now a number of them whose hearts are not with

us, and who would be rather in their proper place with the

heathen than with the Christians.

Amongst the several start-

ling cases of iniquity which have come to light, the greater

number, indeed, is of Christians who were baptized before the

famine, and some are the sons of pious Christian fathers, so

8

el

that the assertion will not hold good that the moral tone of

the congregations has been lowered by these accessions.

There are certainly amongst the converts of that time those

who have spiritual life, whilst with many others we look

in vain for clear signs of a renewal of the heart.

Through the

Orphanages, filled at that time, we may expect to receive an

increase of spiritually-minded men and women and also of

Native Assistants, of whom there has been such a scarcity

till now in that district.

In reviewing that whole time the

opinion based on experience has been expressed, that it would

have been wiser for our Mission not to have admitted into

close connexion any people who applied for it during the famine,

but to support indiscriminately all those who suffered want,

and to postpone all admittance to instruction and all closer

connexion till the famine was quite over, the relief works

closed and alms-giving returned to its former level.

We have already hinted at a number of relapses in South-

Mahratta where some very sad ones have taken place; but

we see also similar phenomena in the regions of the former

Tulu movement.

But we never expected anything else, as

a sifting process is absolutely necessary.

It grieves us more

to read of quite a number of grievous sins in some congrega-

tions, and to find also in a number of Christians a worldly

mind which esteems Christianity chiefly for the «belly’s sake”

(as the expression runs) and endeavours to draw from the

Mission as much assistance to support them in an idle life as

possible, or else a condition of spiritual death.

Signs of a better condition of many converts are not want-

%i

ing, although it is a peculiarity that they either do not so

prominently press themselves on our attention as the bad

qualities, or else do not offer a proper theme for reporting

f

f

on,

But we should dishonour God, if we did not admit and

lamented that our congregations do very little in spreading

the Gospel amongst their countrymen, though as individuals

We think that

the work of the paid agents, even though these be selected from

the best portion of our congregations, can never make up for

this deficiency in unpaid work for the souls of men.

The Congregations number 7715 persons (3965 commu-

nicants) living in 108 different places, grouped round 19

Stations.

A number of changes in the System of our Mission are

gradually going on, partly as the result of the inspection

which took place two years ago, partly as the natural out-

growth of changes in the conditions of Mission-work and

society in general

Concerning the Orphanages it has been resolved to put

them on a more simple footing, corresponding with their cha-

racter as charitable institutions, training the destitute for

humble spheres of life, and at the same time to limit the

number of inmates, so as to make all our Christians, who

are in the least able to do it, bear their own burden in the

matter of bringing up their own children, which, indeed,

has even before this been the case with the majority of

them.

Thus the Orphanage for boys in Tellicherry has

been amalgamated with that in Paraperi, and the Orphanage

for girls in Calicut with that in Chombala.

Both of these

Boarding Schools are now carried on so as to accustom

the boys and girls to manual labour; provision being made

—

for a select number of the most promising boys and girls

o3

to be trained for Mission-work as teachers or preachers,

not, however, in the Orphanage, but in other places, so that

2

10

e

the higher training of the few do not alter the status of the

many. Similar measures were carried out in our South-

Mahratta Mission, where by the famine four Orphanages had

been crowded to overflowing, which, after the famine was over,

gradually disposed of the grown-up children, or sent others

back to their parents.

The change, which had been planned

from the very beginning of these Orphanages, was accelerated

by the climate of Hubly, which since the famine has proved

so unhealthy that 1t has been deemed undesirable to have so

many children and young men kept there for their education.

Thus the Bettigerry Orphanage for girls was merged into that

of Dharwar.

The Boys’ Orphanages of Hubly and Bettigerry,

together with the two Training-Schools in Hubly, were remov-

ed to Bettigerry. Besides realizing by these amalgamations

and reductions a healthier principle in education, the saving

for the Mission-funds will in the course of years be not incon-

siderable, while the expenses for the first carrying out of the

thereby become freer for other work.

Another change is going on in the matter of landed-pro-

perty.

In former years the Mission bought fields in many of

the Stations, with a view of giving the means of subsistence

to converts cut off from their former connexions.

In several

places these fields have really been rented and cultivated by

'Christians and are most intimately interwoven with the exis-

tence of the congregations.

A great number of fields have,

however, never been used in this wise, and were in the course

of years more and more recognised as an incumbrance to

Mission-work, as the management caused much labour and

vexation.

It has therefore been resolved to sell off this second

class of fields to the highest bidder, and to endeavour with

the first class to induce the Christian ryots to acquire the

property of the Mission-fields they have been tilling till now.

e

11

Especially in Bettigerry and Guledgud such sales have taken

place.

Some progress has been made in the matter of putting the

Churches under Native management, although, on sound prin-

ciples, the change is carried out not by sudden measures, but

gradually. Thus the Churches in South-Mahratta have been

put each under the management of a Catechist, who works

under the supervision of a Missionary, and for all Churches

the order has been issued that there shall be no pulpit on

which a Native does not preach at least twelve times a year.

In this way we hope to lead gradually, but surely, to a sur-

render of the congregations to Native Pastors.

In the matter of Schools for heathen boys, Elementary and

Anglo-Vernacular Schools, it can be said that their importance

begins to be more acknowledged in our Mission, than it used

to be formerly.

Several new ones have been opened: an

Anglo-Vernacular School in Cannanore, Elementary Schools

in out-places of the Stations Mangalore, Kaity, Calicut,

Tellicherry, Basrur and other places.

The numbers in

our Anglo-Vernacular Schools (Cannanore being not yet in-

cluded) have increased by 137, in the Vernacular Schools for

i

heathen boys by 41; whilst the Orphanages show a decrease

of 71 boarders as a consequence of the new system.

!

But it is the importance of Heathen Girls’ Schools that has

J

been brought especially to our notice during the past year.

Schools of this kind have been carried on in Mangalore,

Honore, Mercara, Calicut, Palghaut, whilst in many places

heathen girls attend also Boys’ Schools, so that the whole

preparation in Mangalore and Mercara. Along with this, and

i

2#‘

i

to prepare the way for greater extention of female education

in future years, new efforts are being made for training female

teachers in Calicut and Mangalore, but the system will come

into working order only in 1883.

We have further to remark that at the Education C’ommission,

which met at Madras and Poona, Messrs. Graeter and Ziegler

respectively took part for our Mission; we regret, however,

that we could not depute any one to the Missionary Conference

which was held at Calcutta in December 1882.

Other extensions of our work have taken place in Coorg

where the sphere of the Cooly-Mission has been enlarged and

|

will be enlarged still more, in Mangalore where Kasargod,

and in Tellicherry where Kuttuparambu have been taken up as

Out-stations, by posting Catechists there.

Karwar also, that

ﬁ

was partially abandoned for some years, has received a Cate-

chist.

An extension in South-Muahratta by the opening of a

]

new Station with a Missionary has been decided upon. On the

other hand the Out-station in Manantoddy and that in Vythery

\

have been abandoned.

Preaching to the heathen is carried on pretty much in all

the different forms possible, itinerating, preaching in villages,

on markets, on heathen festivals, on bazaars, on plantations,

i

in houses etc., Honore, Kundapur, Chombala, and Mercara,

being chief centres for preaching; but each Station is taking

more or less part in it. A hopeful tone is pervading several of

§

the reports, speaking of many, who appreciate the message,

and marking a gradual change for the better in the attitude

of the people.

)|

The number of our Native Helpers has been increasing

again, this year by 5, so that we now have 87 of them, 7 of

whom are ordained as Native Pastors (Deacons). This increase

of labourers has enabled us to extend the work as mentioned

above.

After the beginning of 1883 a faithful worker,

——rrre

18“

C’Mysostomus, in Calicut was taken away by smallpox. Another,

Paul, whom we had thought a good servant of the Lord, has

disappointed us, running away, leaving wife and children with-

out support.

Of Ordained Missionaries we have now (at the moment of

publishing the Report) 40, and of Lay-brethren 19.

We thank

the Lord that we must not report any deaths in our Mis-

sionary-circle, excepting that of some children, who have been

taken away to a better home, leaving, however, a sad void in

the hearts of their parents.

The following changes have

taken place:

In February and March 1882 there left for Europe: Mr.

Diez and family, Mr. Walter and family, Mr. Schenkel and

family, Mr. Thumm and family, Mr. Liitze and family, Mr.

& Mrs. Hiittinger, and Mrs. Ziegler (of Udapy).

In December

Mr. & Mrs. Mieg, and in March 1883 Mr. & Mrs. Grossmann,

My. Sikemeier and family, Mr. Liebendorfer and family like-

wise left for Europe.

Of new arrivals there are: in the begin-

ning of 1882 Mr. FEisfelder for Hubly, in October 1882 Mr.

Spering for Udapy and Mr. Knittel for Dharwar, and in January

1883 Mr. Franke and My. Grimm for Mangalore. Taking up

their former work there returned from Europe: Mr. & Mrs.

Brasche for Udapy, and Mr. & Myrs. Hirner for Mangalore.*

The following brethren have been married in 1882.

M.

Ruhland to Miss Mader, Mr. Matthissen to Miss Fritz (daugh-

ter of our veteran Missionary Rev. J. M. Fritz), Mr. Dilger to

Miss Hiusermann, Mr. Jaus to Miss Suter, Mr. Keppler to

Miss Viel, Mr. Fieq to Miss Holldnder.

* Since the above was written Mr. & Mrs. Diez have returned to Mangalore.

One of the Missionaries, My. Diez, left the station in

April 1882 to recruit his health in Europe, but we hope to

see him back in our midst within a few weeks.*

His work

was taken over by Mr. Hoch; in January 1883, however; it

was necessary to call Mr. Liebendorfer from Tellicherry to

take charge of the Seminary for a few months.

The Congregation, the most numerous in our Mission,

contains 1321 baptized Christians (1379 if the out-stations are

included), of whom 736 (769) are communicants, and is under

the charge of Mr. Mdnner, assisted by three Catechists.

For

several years past the great distances within Mangalore made

it necessary to have separate services in Jeppu, and now and

then also in Bokapatna.

At present a chapel is building

at Jeppu, and a Native Pastor is going to take charge of that

part of the congregation (157) which lives there, at a distance

of 3 miles from the chief church at Balmattha, where the

greater part of the congregation comes together for Divine

service.

Such services take place regularly on Sundays and

week-days, and this year has again seen a marked progress

in the direction of admitting the Native Helpers to a steadily

Other

increasing share in the several pastoral functions.

regular Sunday-services are held in the Catechist’s Seminary

in Canarese and (during Mr. Diez’s presence) in Malayalam.

Services for the English Congregation were held at St. Paul’s

Church by Mvr. Diez, Mr. Graeter and Mr. Hoch, unless the

Chaplain from Mercara happened to be in Mangalore. Prayer-

meetings in private houses, daily prayers in the several

establishments and schools, family-prayers in nearly all

)

houses etc. work towards fulfilling the Apostle’s injunction:

“Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom,

teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymuns

* He has returned by God’s blessing much benefited in April 1883, and

and spiritul songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the

Lord” Col.iii. 16. The «“Shanti Choir” has now and then helped

to enliven several festival services in our Balmattha Church,

and has also furnished a small choir to the English Church.

The introduction of trombones which began last year, promises

to give a new stimulus to sacred music in our congregation.

For one evening a general invitation was sent, when many

Christians and Hindus united to listen to sacred music in our

Church.

i

The spiritual and moral condition of the Church does not

Several wicked things

have come to light and have been visited with Church-discipline.

The beginning of the new year brought what we had i)een

waiting and praying for, for many years, the conversion of

Manki Rama Rao.

M. Rama Rao is a Sarasvat Brahmin of a good family, and holds

of

the post of Government Prosecutor. For more than 13 years he was

qu

1

inquiring after truth, and as early as 1870 had the great desire of

becoming a Christian. Family-ties held him back, but he went on to

la

i

pray alone, with Hindu friends and with the Missionaries, although

now and then periods of coldness and worldliness would keep him

th

L)

away from the Missionaries and from prayer.

In 1881 he made up

his mind to be baptized, but his friends and relatives pressed him so

V&

hard to delay, that he consented and was in danger of cooling down

e

entirely. But God in His merey would not lét him go, but stirred him

up again and again, and made his hold on his heart stronger and

stronger.

On the 9th January he came to the Mission-house to become

a Christian, together with his little boy (his wife died 3 years ago).

On the 14th January 1883 he was baptized, together with his son,

and is now rejoicing in the glorious salvation he has found in Christ.

Very remarkable was the attitude of the Hindu population.

A

great number, 200 or 300 of them, were present at his baptism, so

that the whole number of attendants probably amounted to 1500,

all of whom were impressed with the simple but grand solemnity

of the act.

Many came afterwards to shake hands with the new

Christian. When we remember that 40 years ago, at the conversion

of the first Brahmin, acts of violence were committed and fiercer ones

threatened, (so that the artillery, had to make their guns ready for

action,) we cannot but wonder with what smoothness, politeness

and even friendship everything went on in this case.

Quite apart

of those few Brahmins, who expressed their sincere and heart-felt joy

at the event, there was scarcely any one who blamed it.

evident that the bigotry of former days has disappeared to a great

I

extent, not, however, to make place to a hunger and thirst after

righteousness.

This conversion, however, has now brought it home

I

to the understanding and consciences of the inhabitants of Mangalore,

more than any sermons of ours could do, that Christ claims their

hearts, and that the conscience speaks in favour of this claim, be-

f

cause they see one of their leading men, not a youth, but a man of

34 years, ranking with the best educated in the district, not at the spur

of the moment, but after a long period of conviction and delay,

s

quietly and decidedly giving himself over to Christ, because he can-

5

not find salvation anywhere else.

But how must they feel, who

f

have the same convietion, that only Jesus can save a man from sin

0

and perdition, and who yet will not follow their conviction? Or

they, who formerly had the conviction, and have stifled it in order

il

to avoid the sacrifices it would have laid on them?

Our hearts

P

yearn to see some more of them end their struggles and self-re-

50

p\roaohes by giving themselves over to Christ.

The number of Catechists is gradually increasing, so

Three pupils

passed their examination in April 1882 and were sent out as

Catechists. The Theological and Biblical lessons, together with

languages, were given pretty much as usual, through the verna-

culars, Canarese and Malayalam, the chief end in view being

to plant spiritual life in the hearts of the students, so as to

enable them to become messengers of Christ.

Some, seeing

that they were not fit for such a sacred calling, have volun-

tarily left, whilst one was dismissed. There are now 25 study-

ing in the Seminary, and their number will soon be increased

1o 30:

The number of Catechists proceeding from this Semi-

nary, increasing year by year steadily though slowly, will

parent in several places of this Report.

As we cannot hope

for any great increase in the number of our European Mission-

aries, we rejoice that this way of extension is left open to us.

On the other hand in each of the Out-stations, Shirwa ex-

The Brahmin Girls’ School, which was opened on the 2nd

the work in Udapy. The old wish to possess such a School

having afresh been stirred up in Mrs. Ritter’s mind by the visits

of a former pupil of a similar school in Mangalore, some of

the leading men of Udapy took great interest in the plan,

the Munsif, a Brahmin Vakeel and some others made parti-

cular exertions to promote the scheme, and now a school-

house has been built in the bazaar, two female teachers have

been procured and 20 Brahmin girls attend the School.

were uhder the protection of the agent of the Matha, who per-

1

mitted us to preach without hindrance, and even the great

Swami received with thanks the Bible we sent him.

One

el

glorious fruit of the wide-spread sowing of the seed showed

00

itself where it was least expected.

The baptism of a priest o}f the caste of Shivali-Brahmins took

place on the 3rd December 1882.

His conversion is one of those

ideal but extremely rare cases, in which a heathen goes on from

year to year from one endeavour to another, seeking after salvation

with full earnestness, but seeing himself disappointed in his expec-

tations again and again, until at last he finds the Gospel, and

without any delay opens his heart to it.

This man (whose new Christian name is Christananda) first tried

to find salvation through the Bhagavatgita®, as this had been recom-

mended to him by a friend as the best Shastra ; but he remained un-

satisfied.

He then was advised to try the Shakti-servicet, and

underwent the most excessive austerities for 28 days, in order to

qIT8

become fit in the prescribed way for an apparition of the goddess,

1ing

but he saw that he had been misled.

At that time he met the

1&t

Missionaries on a heathen festival and bought two tracts (“Good

and

Words” and “On Demons’) which he took home.

On reading them

spel

he felt sure that they contained the truth and desired to know more

about it.

paLe

He therefore went to Basrur and asked Mr. Gengnagel to

1'11191

teach him the Christian Shastras, as he believed that they contained

the truth.

Mr. Gengnagel was happy to teach him the Bible and to

7l

a0y

pray with him, and it was wondrous to see how spiritual life sprang

up in the new enquirer, and a few days afterwards he expressed his

here

willingness to be baptized.

But he was induced to return to his

heen

village, Keilkeri, where he was made a prisoner for a time in his

e 4l

brother’s house, and also in a house at a greater distance.

But his

h‘icta

resolution remained unshaken, and after some days he managed to

enfre

escape and to reach the Mission-house again.

He now was very

The congregation in Anandapur has been under the faith-

ful care of the Catechist Joshia Aarons, who also visits some

of the nearest plantations to preach to the coolies, and once

a week goes either to Veerajpet or Siddhapur to preach to

the heathens gathered for the weekly fairs. Many will remem-

ber that 10 and 20 years ago a good number of converts

left Anandapur and relapsed into heathenism, and that in

after years now and then some of those apostates returned

again to join the congregation.

Last year also one, who as

a child had come with the first converts and some years

afterwards had relapsed with his parents, has after 15 years

of absence returned with his heathen wife and 3 children, who

have been baptized and are now members of the congregation.

Regular

ich

Sunday-services have also been begun in Malasamudra, as

10W

some more Christian families have settled there.

Some disheartening signs have shown themselves in con-

nexion with the congregations.

Generally speaking spiritual

life is at a low ebb, but no striking cases of immorality have

occurred, though there are many dissensions and quarrels in

the families.

And to this we ascribe it, that there is much

less than formerly an inclination amongst heathens to seek

after truth. A Lingait priest, who during the famine-time had

been baptized in Hubly, died in Malasamudra, where he had

been living with his brother quite separate from the Christians

and without observing Sunday.

Two days before his death

he cursed his baptism and said, that for that sin God had

punished him with disease.—A Christian Schoolmaster had to

be dismissed for his sins; he went to Guledgud and joined the

Roman Catholics, reviling the Missionaries and congregations.

A numerous family, formerly come from the Mahommedans,

l

went to Mulgund and relapsed into Mahommedanism.—The

Shagoti congregation offered in years gone by such a refresh-

ing and lovely appearance, and now also Divine services are

very well attended.

But the former fervour has greatly dimi-

nished. The desire for alms is very excessive; and we have

been especially grieved by the death of Danappa, the first

i for

convert of that place, who for many years walked as a bright

andd

Christian and brought many to the Lord, but afterwards

uaty

grew colder and, for some years, was rather an obstacle to

many. We hear that, when his death drew near, he again

took refuge with Christ.

Yet the sad impression of his last

Y con-

\\'Ol'ka

years remains.

)6319

46

There are brighter features, however, to be discovered.

a8

Especially the young men seem to strive after godliness and

have prayer-meetings of their own.

In several cases their

W

good influence on their fathers could be traced, and we are

confident that a spiritual renewal of the congregation will

i

take its origin from them. That Rs. 233-3-8 have been col-

lected under the different heads, of which all but Rs. 19 col-

By

lected at the Mission Anniversary are bona fide gifts of the

Bef

Native Congregation in Bettigerry, must be considered a good

sign.

14 baptisms of heathens took place in the course of

the year.

Preaching to the heathen suffered from the want of labour-

ers and the pressure of other work, so that only one tour to

a considerable distance was undertaken by the Catechists.

But in the neighbourhood, preaching was regularly done three

times a week; and two heathen festivals at a less distance

from the Station were visited, Kalsapur and Bakundi.

Of the

latter place Mr. Hasenwandel relates:

When we reached the place the great mass of people had not

yet arrived ; yet many crowded round us and listened attentively,

/]

so that we preached on till it was night.

Next morning we could

not find many hearers, as the whole night had been passed in

five young men followed us to our quarters, bought 15 tracts and

were very desirous to hear the Gospel.

They could not, they said,

ask us about it and buy books in the village, because they would

have been mocked by the people.

In the evening we had a crowd

of about 300 persons round us, who listened to the Gospel with great

interest, some of them repeatedly saying that our word was truth.

The Catechists said, they had never met with such attentive hearers.

At last we were disturbed by some cavillers, who tried to vent their

Pantheism.

with the New Testament which he reads zealously, telling his neigh-

bours about the Gospel.

In 1873 the late Mr.Weigele gave him the

fighe,

The work here, Schools, Congregation, and preaching to the

Strop

heathen, is divided in two parts, that on Nettoor and that in

Tetyp

the town, which division has become still more thorough

190 8]

a5

through the destruction of the bridge formerly connecting

both parts.

Both divisions have had a number of baptisms of heathens.

A young man, Raman, now Samuel, in the fisher-village, had

some years ago during a severe disease expressed his reso-

lution to become a Christian, and had hitherto remained

steadfast, so that he was baptized in March and proves a

pious, sincere Christian.

Together with him an old woman

was baptized, who, though very weak in understanding, had

so strong a longing for baptism and after Christ, that it

o,

could not be refused to her.

Similar was the case of another

still older woman, who used to say sincerely that she was

a great sinner and could not approach God “without cling-

ing to another’s dress”, and she felt that Jesus was the man

to help her, because always her heart was moved when she

il

thought of Him; she loved Him and wanted to get a new

name from Him.

And since her baptism, she says, she has

only light and joy in her heart.

Another was a Policeman,

whom we liked very much.

But a few months after his bap-

tism, being stationed in Manantoddy, he lost his way in the

In the Orphanage the number of girls has gradually been

decreased from 55 to 33, as it was found that many of the

girls could well be sustained by their parents and relatives.

The character of the School was brought more into correspon-

dence with the probable future condition of the girls, greater

prominence being given to labour in the garden and at the

il

wash-tub.

In January 1883 the Calicut Orphanage was

united with that of Chombala, so that the numbers rose again

to 70.

Preaching to the heathen was the chief work of Myr. Wagner,

which they tried to reach as much as possible all the inhabi-

tants of the southern part of the Taluk, intending this year

to work the northern part in the same thorough manner. He

estimates that at least 150,000 heathens had the Gospel brought

to their homes. His experience is, that the attitude towards the

Re

Gospel is steadily becoming more and more friendly, that the

questions have less of a cavilling nature, but concern the

central points, as the person of Christ, redemption, the way to

heaven, nature, consequences and cure of sin etc.

In one

village the people agree with what is said, and ask, «Why did

you not tell that sooner?”

An old Nayer, 75 years old,

listened with a face beaming with joy and at last said: «Those

are good words you have been telling us; I am now near

Ly

death, therefore I want such words, they are excellent for me,

and give me comfort.” When we came the next time, we heard

that the old man had died in the meantime, but that he had

always been a God-fearing man.

A man listening to us was

such good words is worth the while to stand and listen,

even if we should be late in coming home.”

In other villages

they called after us: «“Come soon again.”

Mr. Wagner says,

that he always returned from such tours with a happy heart

and fresh courage.

A Namburi-Brahmin from a good family joined us in con-

sequence of dissensions with his family, who had expelled him.

As he expressed a desire to learn the Gospel and a willing-

ness to lead a Christian life, we could not refuse him. But

after some months he found the rules too strict, saying, that

after the great liberty he had enjoyed till now, he must either

marry, or else be freed of the great restraints in this direction.

We could not marry him before he was baptized, and did not

think him fit for baptism; so he left us and joined the Roman

The IEnglish School has had a small increase from 54 to

Preaching to the heathen was carried on by all the Mis-

sionaries and Catechists, as much as time and health permit-

O

ted. At heathen festivals and in the bazaar the number

of hearers seems to be decreasing and indifference to be

growing. But the experience is different, when houses are

visited. Sometimes the preacher meets with unfriendly and

even rude refusal, but in more houses he finds willing hearers.

Questions are put now and then of a trifling kind, but more

frequently such, as spring from real desire after understand-

ing, e.g. “How must we adore the true God? Was Christ God

even when he was on earth? How can one receive forgiveness

of his sins? Is it possible to get assurance Qf pardon from

God? etc.”

There were no baptisms of heathens during this year,

although o Badaga-family joined us and has been under in-

struction for baptism.

Metta, a man in Chogatorre has known the Gospel for many

years and wished to become a Christian.

He has been at length in-

duced to carry out his intention before his daughter Hui be indis-

solubly bound to the son of his rich neighbour Lakshma.

This man

had already managed to have a marriage-ceremony performed and

the “tali” bound to the girl’s neck against the will of the parents,

in winning over her uncle, who had no right at all to dispose of the

girl, and against the customs of the tribe. On the Tth of April the

girl came alone to the Mission-house in Kaity, saying she wanted to

become a Christian, and the next day her parents, with 4 more

children, came also, asking for admittance.

But Lakshma lodged a

i

72

complaint for criminal abduction against the parents and the brother

et

of the girl.

The case came on for hearing in the Court of the Magis-

i

16

trate in Coonoor in the end of the month, when it was clearly

Scho

shown, that the girl was of age, whilst Lakshma’s evidence to the

I

contrary was shown to be fabricated.

As abduction can only be

gxert

practised on minors and as a mother under usual circumstances can-

and ¢

not be accused of abduction, the case was dismissed.

Another suit,

inhah

a civil one, for “restitution of conjugal rights” was not filed; but if

fr

om

instituted, would likewise, we trust, fail entirely.

So the family is

the

now peacefully staying in Kaity and will, we hope, soon be baptized.

Two new Schools have been opened this

year in Manjarada and in Manihatti, so that the number of

Badaga Day-Schools now numbers 6, and there are also some

4 or 5 irregular Night-Schools, where young men, who have to

work during the day-time, come together in the nights to learn

something, defraying the expenses for the teacher from their

own purse.

by the people for spiritual things.

Yet many also hear with

haye

great willingness.

Faith in their false gods is shaken very

much, and they admire many things in Christianity, which they

consider attractive, they are willing to send their children to

school, but worldliness, indifference and, with some, love of

drink prevent them from opening their hearts to the Gospel.

But there are also some who love light and truth, and would

like to become Christians, if only their families, friends and

customs would not stand in their way.

There are Day-Schools in Kannerimuku and Naduhatti,

and Night-Schools are held in an irregular and uncertain way

in Sullugudu, Gundhada, Kannerimuku and Naduhatti.

The

parents are willing to pay something for the schooling of their

children, although they frequently remember with regret the

times, when Mr. Robinson and Miss Cockburn carried on

schools, in which the children had to pay nothing, were pro-

vided with books and now and then received presents.

The

times are different now.

In and near Naduhatti twenty Ba-

dagas have signed a written agreement, to send 22 boys for

two years to the School, to pay half the salary of the School-

Appendix.

Whilst this Report was being printed, we were stértled by

the unexpected news of the death of the second Inspector or

Secretary of our Mission, the Rev. Hermann Praetorius, from

abscess of the liver, on the 7th of April 1883 at Accra on the

Gold Coast in Africa.

Mr. Praetorius was born in Stuttgart, Wiirttemberg, on the

25th of June 1852.

When the Franco-German war was raging

kind-

1 the

in 1870, although only 18 years old, he insisted on entering the

ranks of the Volunteer-Ambulance-Corps, giving thus early proofs of

his readiness to help in alleviating suffering.

His rich intellectual

Tom &

gifts manifested themselves at the very beginning of his University-

i and

career in Tiibingen and at his final Examination in 1876, when he

106688,

attained the highest honour in Philosophy and Theology.

‘While

b we

at Tibingen he associated with earnest young men and joined the

Academical Mission-Union, showing even then a warm interest in

pill g0

Mission-work.

After leaving the University he visited Secotland,

i 0V

England and the North of Germany, studying everywhere, as far as

ngll e

possible, the religious life of those countries, and being thrown to-

56

gether with all kinds of men, he obtained such a breadth of view

and knowledge of the world as fitted him for an eminent public

station.

Whilst he was Chaplain of the Court of Wiirttemberg, the

Basel Mission-Committee offered him the humble post of Assistant

Inspector.

Although the way to honour had been open to him, he

accepted the call in 1877,

He was made Second Inspector in 1880,

and as such had to take charge of our African Mission.

He

entered heart and soul upon his new duties with this Benoni, and

when our Committee asked him to inspeet their African Mission, he

did not shrink back on account of the deadly climate, but entered

with touching enthusiasm on the work of inspection in October 1882,

accompanied by a medical man and a young merchant.

In the first months he worked with energy and devotion, during

which he succeeded ininspecting most stationsofour African Mission-

declared, that his face beamed with henevolence and peace. Owing

to this, the geniality of his manners and his unaffected piety he readily

won favour with all with whom he came into contact. God’s thoughts,

however, are not as our thoughts nor His ways, as our ways.—

Before our beloved Inspector had spent many months in the noble

work, to which he had devoted himself, he was prostrated with

dysentery, and before he was fairly recovered, and while on his way

to Kyebi, he was greatly shocked at having to witness, in a Negro hut

in the midst of a jungle, the death of a young Missionary’s wife, who

of {

thus met with only signs of the most poignant grief, and in place of

duties of inspection, he had on the 3rd of February, the melancholy

task of preaching her funeral sermon.

Nor was this all.

Canaan by depositing their dead, so we also take spiritual

possession of that Coast by depositing the bones, not only of

our Missionaries and their families, but also those of our late

young and promising Inspector, anticipating thus the time

when He shall vouchsafe to our Brethren the grace of con-

verting those Nations.

May the Lord comfort his widow and orphans and the

aged parents, who have lost in him an only son, and may He

fill up the gaps in the ranks of His labourers.
