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 9 e praise Him for the fact that in the midst of our congregations He goes on to lead souls from darkness to light, and to nurse It is much to be up and increase spiritual life in many. lamented that our congregations do very little in spreading the Gospel amongst their countrymen, though as individuals We think that many may value and enjoy it for themselves. 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 Several Missionaries also will changes have been trifling. 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, g {¢ Honore, Mercara, Calicut, Palghaut, whilst in many places heathen girls attend also Boys’ Schools, so that the whole 0 d number of heathen girls under instruction amounts to 212, New Girls’ Schools d showing an increase this year by 53. have been opened in Udapy and for some time in Basrur, and h 10 enlargements, coming up to reorganization, are in energetic 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.

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 ) resumed his former work in the Seminary. el B 16 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 0 offer special subjects for reporting on. Several wicked things have come to light and have been visited with Church-discipline. 0 Some of those excommunicated for their sinful ways, have {l joined the Roman Catholics, by whom they were willingly i received. But on the other hand the Spirit of God is working al of in many hearts, as we have seen in some cases which we, how- ever, prefer not to mention. al €] Several persons from the Hindus and from the Roman 9 Catholics have joined us, some of whom are still under in- I struction, whilst a few (4 adults and 3 children) have been fo baptized. il The beginning of the new year brought what we had i)een he waiting and praying for, for many years, the conversion of (a Manki Rama Rao. 3 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 % 17 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 Tt 18 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. 18 St e The number of Catechists is gradually increasing, so that, although three are dedicated almost exclusively to school- sl 1t work, yet the extent of operations has been enlarged by sta- tioning a Catechist in Kasargod, and by opening a School in th Bekal 10 Open-air preaching is done once a week in the bazaar in Mangalore, and now and then some Missionaries, Catechists S and the students of the Seminary go out to preach to the £Xi crowds gathering for the heathen festivals in Bantwal, Man- jeshwar Vitla, Subrahmanya and other places We have fro now and then had occasion to see that the Word preached is T6( not merely cast on the roadside, but takes hold in some In hearts it fro Efforts have been made gradually to increase the extent and efficiency of School-work.

The English School under the charge of Mr. Layer has 11 increased from 188 to 220 pupils, whilst the Vernacular st School added to it, has gone down from 170 to 102. The he examinations of several classes have been very satisfactory. Wl “Now and then I am asked”, Mr. Layer writes, “to exempt a boy A from Bible lessons.

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 of enable us gradually to extend our operations, as will be ap- parent in several places of this Report. As we cannot hope i for any great increase in the number of our European Mission- aries, we rejoice that this way of extension is left open to us. o 8 II.

Last year we reported’ that the second revision of the e Maloyalam New Testament had advanced to the end of the Ay It i1s with heart-felt thanks to the Epistle to the Hebrews. Uy Lord that we have now to mention the completion of the re- I vision of the remaining portion from James to Revelation, and of the print of the whole Malayalam New Testament. Messrs. Diez and Walter of our Mission and Mr. Richards of the 7o Church Mission having gone on leave to Europe, Mr. Knobloch in behalf of our Mission and Mr. Koshi Koshi on the part of )l the Church Mission were empowered to complete the remain- ing portion. This new revision rests, as regards the Malayalam Ty idiom, on the translation of Dr. Gundert and, as to the Greek original, on the textus receptus. Thankful as all the Mala- g yalam speaking Evangelic Christians are to the Madras Auxi- gy liary Bible Society for placing a cheap version into their hands, it is to be regretted that most of the weighty Greek authorities, By on which the English revised version of 1881 is based and which Dr. Gundert followed in his translation, could no more /g be consulted by the revisors. o el 25 The revision of the Tulu New Testament was carried on by Mr. Hartmann, Mr. Ritter, and Mr. Hermelink, each pre- 0 paring one part of the New Testament on the basis of a revision by Mr. Minner These revisions have been placed )0 )) before a Committee formed of all Tulu Missionaries and are at present under consideration )0 The sixth edition of the Malayalam Hymn-Book, revised )0 by Dr. H. Gundert, to whom our Malayalam Church owes the most and the best of its hymns, has been carried through the 00 press by Mr. Knobloch, who also undertook to see the Mala- yalam New Testament through the press The Canarese and Malayalam Christion Almanacs for 1883 of have been published The Canarese Monthly Journal “Kreista Sabhapatra” has he been edited partly by My Minner and My C.

The Brahmin Girls’ School, which was opened on the 2nd of February 1882, forms a new and most desirable branch of 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. May the School prosper and bring not only the girls but their whole houses nearer to the knowledge of the true God. begy The Boys Boarding School, having 71 boys, lost the Jear services of Mrs. Ziegler, who left for Europe, and was under But | the care of Mr. Keppler, by whose marriage in November, a ddnu{ 31 e of female supervision for the bodily welfare of the boys was procured again.

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 tance pressing in his desire after baptism, and received it a few days after- e * A theosophical poem, represented as spoken by Krishna. -t The energy of any Deity personified as his wife.

We are thankful to the gentlemen who assist us not only with contributions towards the expenses of the 2068 Catechists, but now and then take interest enough, themselves to call the coolies or to be personally present at the preaching.

It was more and more felt as a pressing want to open a boarding-house, where enel$ Coorg girls from the district can, under the care of a man 5 far blted and woman of their own caste, live in Mercara and attend the School; and after the matter had been discussed again and again, and advocated very warmly by the Commissioner, Col. regls Hill, some of the leading men of Mercara and Coorg held a sted meeting in March 1883 and resolved that a beginning should o the ﬂeﬂ Of be made by building an appropriate house near the Girls’ School, under the supervision of the Mission. We trust that Jy & a beginning will be made before this Report leaves the press. jation e 38 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.

They do not give us fields; they do not give us money It is better we go back to the heathen.” One, after having for months been helped through a time of disease, left his wife and joined the heathen Another, a schoolmaster, who for any years had been instructed in our schools and seminaries (not however without being dismissed as unworthy), joined the Roman Catholics, in order to marry a girl of that church He first caused the family to join our Church, and married More joy the girl, but when she went back, he followed her we had with a weaver of Dharwar who was baptized in January with two of his children, and had to go through many troubles on account of his wife But his faith and piety were not shaken by these trials The two Christians in Jod- and on the halli were visited on one Sunday of the month other Sundays came to Dharwar.

Tayy The sale of the greater part of the landed property con- took sumed much time and strength, but with the fields much work, Jearg foreign to proper Mission-work, will be removed in future yeax“s. 45 RSSO I, The C’ongregwtion in Bettigerry was under the care of Cate- chist Salomon, and that in Shagoti under Catechist Nahasson, 0 both under the supervision of Mr. Hasenwandel. 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 But witnessing plays and fire-works ; our books also found no sale. 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. afte1 At last we were disturbed by some cavillers, who tried to vent their Pantheism.

Mr. Warth for rer several months was in charge of all the work, until joined in el March 1883 by Mr. Ernst. The 11 or more places, with Christians connected with this hoys Station, are grouped around the three centres, Guledgud, Mu- ;48 S Jou slltigeri and Kardenhalli. The first congregation has been un- an der the care of Catechist Immanuel Furtado, the second of Evangelist Subhadra, and the third of Evangelist Johanappa, me i under the supervision of the Missionary. About the condition tha of these branch-churches we have got no reports, and can only Ma say that Mushtigeri has had one baptism of a heathen and has ma now 82 Christians, and Kardenhalli has had 8 baptisms and a ha congregation of 108 Christians. beg In Guledgud itself several grievous sins have come to light, par and eight persons had to be excommunicated for bad deeds, the the majority of them being Christians of long standing, two he of them, Schoolmasters, who had received much instruction in o the Word of God. But there are others who walk in the fear thin of the Lord and are zealous in prayer. There has been a iH I number of hopeful conversions in the course of the year. In the upl Murudi, a village two miles from Guledgud, 13 persons were mile baptized, after receiving regular instruction in their village in the open air. On these occasions a number of heathen fo g 1ay men and women also listened to the instruction. Of another that case Mr. Grossmann relates: his ¢ Gundappa (now Satyarthi) has for 25 years been seeking for a hoy true Guru, as he was convinced that the Brahmins are not the true St Gurus. He first tried a Lingait of the name of Virappa, living at a eage distance of five miles from his village, who was a zealous reader of Shastras. from Gundappa passed many days in conversation with him, besg and learned from him the doctrine of one Nijaguna. But he at length Cglyg told Virappa that that did not satisfy him. So he gave him the advice ful to go on a pilgrimage. 'After he had passed two years with Virappa fo bl.. he met with a Sanyasi, whom he asked for the way of salvation. (noy The Sanyasi instructed him for two months, but would not tell him abne the central part of his doctrine, i)utting him off with saying that he must defer it for a later time. His parents removed him to another village out of the Sanyasi's influence. But a year later he made up anq ; On his his mind to go after the Sanyasi till he had found him. g 49 it} Journey he met with a rich man, who induced him to stay witli him, | of and adopted him, so that he stayed there for five years. One day he met there with a man, who had received some tracts from a Bellary pl;m, Missionary, preaching in the neighbourhood. The man told Gundappa fion that these books contained the truth, and gave him two (Gospel of St. nly Mark and a Heart-Book); Gundappa said he could not read, but the hias man encouraged him to learn to read, and within two months he 02 had mastered the alphabet and was able to read, the sons of the house being his only schoolmasters. After reading the books and also a joht, part of the Old Testament which fell into his hands, he believed that 0l they contained the truth, and spoke about it to others. Some said, two he should not read those books, as the Missionaries had written them to destroy caste. Others told him, they did not understand these n 1l fea things, he must ask the Christians about it. But when he persisted en & in reading the books, speaking about them, and even in keeping holy the Sabbath-day, people became angry. After many days he made In up his mind to seek out the Missionaries, and went all the way of 60 ere miles to find them, taking his books along with him and reading them I age to such other people as he met with. One day he met with a young dthen man, Hanuman, on whom the words produced so deep an impression, of her that he insisted on going with Gundappa, in order to find pardon of his sins. Thus the two men presented themselves in the Mission- house in Guledgud on the 18th of March 1882, asking for further in- or d ot Jue struction. This was given them, and received by them with so much eagerness, that it was a great joy to instruct them, and see how life gatﬁ from above was growing in them. As they asked very urgently to Jor of ) Jomy be soon baptized, and as their desire was so very genuine, they re- th ceived baptism in July, and have since lived as consistent and faith- eng ful Christians. advice Gundappa (now Satyarthi) went twice to his village to bring his wife with him, but she refused to come. Hanuman jrapp (now Dheiryappa) has lost his pareats and his wife, and was standing ! 101 ol Jum alone in the world, but has now married a Christian girl. hat be The Gospel was preached in the villages near Guledgud, pothe! and in the houses in Guledgud. Two preaching tours were iad o Up made in the direction of Kaladgi. On b8 [9) = 0 Mr. Warth writes: From Bagalkot I visited the villages inv the neighbourhood, and found everywhere willing hearers, especially in a little village, Haveli. There I found a man, who is well acquainted with the New Testament which he reads zealously, telling his neigh- bours about the Gospel. In 1873 the late Mr.Weigele gave him the book, and how much frait has it produced! It was a pleasure to preach to these people, who were so desirous of learning the truth, and put many questions about it, so that we used to remain together Rer till late in the night. They should like to become Christians, if they only could keep their caste.—In other villages also we found willing hearers, and in Ankalige, near Kaladgi, a number of people, who are near to the kingdom of God. The Vernacular School has 62 boys. The Boys’ Orphanage has passed its last year in Guled- (h gud, where it was opened in the famine-year. There were 56 boys in it, of whom some will now take up some work, and the rest join the Orphanage in Bettigerry.

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 e monsoon and was drowned. A young girl of 17 years had heard the Gospel as a servant in the Native Pastor’s house; and when some time later, people wanted to force her to a ..... U Nl life of shame, she decided to become a Christian. Her rela- tives came to Nettoor, broke into the church and dragged her out, but she was rescued by the Christians, and when we lodged a complaint against the relatives, they came and asked 7105 our pardon, which we willingly granted. Emilie (that is her new name) is now a happy Christian. A youth from the fisher-village had also come to be baptized; but he was not strong enough to withstand the entreaties of his relatives, and returned with them.

Next year he was sent to the Orphanage in Tellicherry. He | for felt very comfortable in the company of so many boys, but his health was never satisfactory, and he could not give up the custom of eating mber1 earth. Now and then he made endeavours to run away, but was brought back again, and each time promised to behave well. aﬁona By and by a change took place in him through the Word of God, so that The in August 1880 he was worthy to be baptized, and from that time he - showed a new mind and a new life. In August 1882 he was seized e ﬂle with dysentery, which afterwards changed into dropsy, and he had to peiglt suffer great pains. Being asked, whether he had peace in his mind and forgiveness of his sins through Christ, he was sad, and said, he did not know, but he would earnestly pray for it. 31‘ Mr. This he did very ually frequently, now and then with a loud voice and a fervency which deeply touched all by-standers. of the And he found peace and said, he i was now sure that he would go to Christ and had no desire to live ety longer. 0 have Next morning he was much weaker. Being asked, what the moving of his hand meant, he said: “Jesus is standing near me, and tells me to give Him my hand ; do you not see Him ?”’ These ; Paré- were his last words, although he lingered for 3 days more, when the o1& Lord called him home. ctober’ The Preparandi-School has passed from Mr. Liebendirfer 0 t;ha't' to Mr. Dilger.

Word of God has been on the whole well received by the heathen. The School in Mahé, in which Malayalam and French are the languages taught, has 70 boys and progresses very favourably. o, 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, [al}u‘f‘f)' to which, excepting occasional Sunday-Services in Mahé and 0pe g1, 7O Chombala, taking charge of the congregation in Mr. Schmolk’s absence, and some other work, he dedicated himself exclusively. ng fo B yJgo the He always took some of the Catechists with him, who thus were very active in itinerating. Thus Mr. Wagner has been on preaching tours for 205 days of the year, Catechist Gabriel for 233, and Catechist Henry from May to December for 163 3t01 1ﬂ'ht days. Visiting from house to house, going from one village to o lm\f”) another without omitting a single one, preaching in markets, 8;’4 60 P at heathen festivals and in the bazaars, were the methods by 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 Jong 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 Buf called away by a friend, who said that they had a long way to go to their village, but he would not go and said: «To hear such good words is worth the while to stand and listen, even if we should be late in coming home.” In other villages 4 K they called after us: «“Come soon again.” Mr. Wagner says, that he always returned from such tours with a happy heart and fresh courage. He also met with our former Catechist Johanan Peter, who It many years ago left us, secretly going to the South. He now and Jy goes about preaching, living on contributions of his friends. ang He has with him a boy who, by singing Christian hymns in Pargyg native metre, always attracts a number of listeners.

The Congregation now numbers bty 880 souls, and 526 have passed from time to eternity; and if we con- sider the many units of these numbers, how many struggles to break Nalg, A“ 1y with the old religion, how many struggles on the numerous death-beds, Whogg but also how many souls, who have not only seen from afar, but tasted Wha and enjoyed the peace of God, which passeth all understanding. But Yala now the task is, that the Congregationbe a diadem in the hand of its God, from which the splendour of God shines forth within the church Ments and amongst the heathen round about.—After another refreshing song, the oldest member of the church, Domingo, addressed the Con- 0ld i e 63 pers! gregation,' telling them of the olden times when the Missionaries, 1008 Fritz and Albrecht having alighted in the travellers’ bungalow, en- gaged him as a servant, built a house for themselves, were assisted by gIve our English friends and under the blessing of God gradually collected a Congregation of poor people; he himself also, formerly a Roman [ays Catholic, being admitted to the Evangelical Church together with his hut family. The blessing of God had gone on with the work, the Con- e of gregation not only increasing in numbers and worldly goods, but also 5001, He reminded the growing in Christian knowledge and virtuous life. af fer young people of the many benefits, they had received in the shape of schools and training in the way of life, and many other things of which Calicut knew nothing before the Missionaries came. At first M1z the Christians came together in the Cutchery or in private houses, ; pIO then a room was attached to the Mission-house for meeting together. Now they enjoyed a roomy, substantial church, and this day no heart should be without grateful remembrance of the Lord, whose love had | gOOd Aft el done such great things for us. At last he made a touching appeal to all, and especially to the rising generation, that they should be ber of [ ead obedient to their Pastors. He had been young and become old hav- g how ing now completed 70 years, but he had always fared well while p WS obeying the advice of his teachers and Pastors. At 21 ». M., the o 14 th Congregation met a second time, when the Native Pastor Joseph Jacob expressed his particular joy at this day, having himself taken o end - souls part in the first beginnings of the Mission in Malabar, when old Mr. Hebich took him along on his preaching tours through the country, jongl'e‘ preaching also in Calicut at a time when there was no Congregation; but now the last prayer of that faithful old warrior: “Lord, remember umbefs Malabar” had been fulfilled and was being fulfilled more and more. ie con- ) bl‘eak All must praise the Lord, but that could be done truly only by those whose sins were forgiven and whose hearts enjoyed the peace of God. ‘h.bedsy fasted What the Mission Society and the old Missionaries had done for Malabar, should never be forgotten. Then the Elder, 4Amos, showed Bt how many benefits had been rendered by the Industrial Establish- ld 0{ its ments, whose gradual development he described from the time, when chufﬂh old Mr. Fritz had gathered some few youths, who were taught their freShmg go (0% 64 pElt trade by a heathen carpentér in the Mission compound, to the present state of wide-spread organization and thorough perfection. He also 4 Ig showed the beginnings of the Out-stations Codacal and Coilandy. Catechist Zimothy, starting from Luke i. 66, compared the Congre- 1600 gation to a girl, Johanna, born 40 years ago in Calicut by a particular whon interposition of God, nurtured up by the Mission, surrounded by many enemies, but protected by the hand of the Lord. He showed of th hecor the condition of Schools in the Christian Congregation, contrasting At with it the old Hindu Schools, without any real training of character, whilst now not only boys, but also girls from the young children in the Infant-School up to the young men in the High School, were brought up in the fear of God and in useful knowledge. Jonathan, formerly Lroly Catechist, now overseer in the Weaving Establishment, reminded the i e Congregation of the manifold spiritual blessings, of which they were I partakers, and the obligations springing out of them. Catechist Jonas of the spoke on evangelization-work, showing how difficult the first begin- nings had been, but how much had been reached already, as the darkness covering the country of India had begun to disperse, but how much had still to be effected, which demanded continued faith- ful efforts coupled with earnest prayer. Mr. Jaus admonished the young people to dedicate their youth to the Lord. Al the different branches of the work are mentioned in the speeches above, so that we limit ourselves to a short summary. The literary work of Mr. Knobloch in connexion with the revision of the New Testament in Malayalam and the New 1 edition of the Hymn-Book has been shown in another part F)f Tgpty the Report. t the The Gospel was preached to the heathens on tours through §e the country and at heathen festivals.

At one time we had as many as sad 0 27 of them. Their circumstances were such, that we had to and h give them work, for which our fields offered a good opportu- nity. Those who do not like to work, but expect to be fed I without it, soon leave us again. Those that remain receive illam further instruction, during which we may ascertain, who is in our part g worthy to be baptized and who not. Cip}e 0 On the 28th of February 1882 a family came to us, earnestly ask- ing for admittance. tion, The man has long been convinced of the truth and several times intended to become a Christian, but was on every merge occasion prevented by his relatives from carrying out his purpose. Last Christmas the baptism of a number of persons gave him a new not abE impulse, but again he failed in following out his conviction. At last frop 7 the Lord laid him on a bed of sickness, which thoroughly roused his Pery ( conscience; and when he was near death’s gate he vowed to become a Christian as soon as he was better. His wife agreed with him. Thus they came with their 4 children, and a few days afterwards his old mother-in-law, aged 70 years, joined them. Korapan is now quite well, and earns his livelihood as bricklayer and sawyer. It seems as if other relatives of his would also become Christians. On Christmas 7 persons were haptized. 67 We believe that the Spirit of God is working in our con- verts, although some sad things have come to light Divin Services are well attended so that new benches had to be procured A prayer-meeting in the houses has been com- menced and carried on Also a Christian Young Men’s Asso- ciation has been started and is appreciated by the young men As in this rural Congregation many of the grown up men cannot read, particular efforts have been made to teach them in some cases with success, whilst with others it seems im- possible to learn at their advanced age ul, Preaching tours were made by the Missionary and the Catechists, and Mr. Kiihnle says, that he met with many willing g for hearers, and that there are many more encouraging signs than )as sad ones, so that he always returns refreshed in his faith ad to and hope from these tours. yortl The Orphanage in Parapery was started some years ago )6 Ed in a much simpler style than the one, that had become common pCeITE in our other Boarding Schools, agriculture being made a chief ho 18 part of the plan, and schooling being carried on on the prin- ciple of thorough, but simple elementary and Biblical instruc- Jy sk tion The plan answered so well, that it was resolved to ) tl‘\lth merge the Tellicherry Orphanage into that of Parapery, at | [l ery the same time, sending back to their parents those, who were m‘p()se not absolutely in need of a charity-education Thus 18 boys a 0eW from Tellicherry arrived here in October last, and the Para- At last pery Orphanage contains now 34 boys \ sod it b 18 n()W i () 15 Q% 68 [ ——— | 4 PALGHAUT. sequ Ash 11688 Out-Stations: Wadakenchery, Panayur, Kannani, Kinnanur. after after Rev.

The Congregation has been increased by 4 baptisms from midnig the heathen; and although it has on the other hand lost a number ln of Christians, who left our places, as their continuous demands taihu for alms fell on deaf ears; we do not consider this a loss, as W@r dS | the presence of such rice-Christians only impedes the progress admire‘ of the Gospel. We are not even in a position to give means vag gy of livelihood to enquirers, who are willing to work, and this ]iVeg W now and then prevents them from joining us, unless they are Oth very earnest about salvation, so that they will even submit to i mﬂsters hardships for thg Gospel’s sake. ng f), — s 69 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 fion Catholics, among whom he married in the first week.—Another Brahmin who frequently visits us, uses all his intelligence to prove that original Hinduism and original Christianity are entirely one and the same thing. He declares the Gospel to be the full truth, but contends that it is not necessary to be Nj Oti: baptized, if one only lives after the precepts of the Gospel.— There are a number of enquirers under instruction. But, al- though they are very poor, they must look out themselves for their livelihood without help from us. In the Congregation we see some growth in earnestness The Christians also and sincerity, and ask the Lord for more. showed zeal in providing for their chapel, by money-contribu- tions and by personal labour, uniting themselves to put the tiles on the roof on two evenings, on which they worked till midnight. g from In Panayur a School-house has been built, partly from con- punbet tributions of the heathens of the village. Some time after- [emands wards cholera broke out in the village, and all appreciated and Jos8, 8 admired the courage and self-denial of the Schoolmaster, who was always willing to visit and assist the sick, by which several lives were saved.—The School there has 41 children. o 5 Other Qut-stations have also their Schools, and their School- ey ¥ masters and Catechists. The school in Kannani having 48 it and that in Wadakenchery 37 children, 170 A Hindw Girls’ School in Palghaut has 11 children, of whom 7 are Hindu girls, whilst 7 other Hindu girls attend the other Schools. The IEnglish School has had a small increase from 54 to 67 boys, and the Parochial School has 32 boys. 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.” (7!

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. M, ] In the Congregation, consisting partly of Badaga-Christians, bandi natives of the Hills, partly of Tamulians and Tulu immi- the p forme grants from the plains, some wicked things have come to light, and a Christian has even been sentenced to 9 months’ imprison- oondi ment. Yet on the other hand great earnestness against such This asked sins has been shown by the better members of the Congrega- said, | tion, and it can be said of them, that they really lead a Christian be his life and strive after godliness. e ing Ltinerating tours have this year also been made in all I directions by Mvr. Stokes and the Catechists, during which the Gospel has been brought to the several villages, scattered over 9 girl accugt the Hills. their Mr. Miiller has continued in his efforls to increase the 10 number of Schools, and to superintend the existing ones. visit the Schools at distances of 3, 6,9 or 10 miles 78 days were spent in travelling to and fro (besides 20 days for other work at a distance). 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. Now and then the place for the Day-Schools is a E rother Wrefchecl cow-shed, where it is scarcely possible to carry on [agis- the work; therefore we induce the people to procure better Jeatly School-houses. to the In Kateri the villagers, encouraged by us, built by their own iy be exertions a proper School-house, which was solemnly with prayers )3 Cal- and appropriate speeches dedicated to its use in the presence of the 1 sult, inhabitants of Kateri, and of School-boys and School-masters come bt if from the neighbouring villages.

Sunday-services are regularly held in Kotargiri, this whilst Kodanad is visited only once in three weeks, and on than these occasions we preach also to the Coolies of the neighbour- 1] o ing plantations. Now and then English Services for the Planters are held. Th In the early part of the year preaching to the Scholg heathen suffered much on account of the house-building that altOget was going on in the Station; yet it was not quite neglected, but later on it was ¥igorously taken in hand. Some thirty lend ) 00Cag]g villages at greater or lesser distance were visited, most of them several times. Of oy Now and then the experiences on these tours are rather disheartening, when so little interest is shown f‘dmine. 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 75 et esicte 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- master and to build a school-house, failing which they pledge In fly 10 themselves to pay all the money, spent on the School. &l'giria this way it is hoped to place the School on a sounder footing nd o0 than is usual with Badaga-Schools in general; and it shows zeal on the part of the Badagas. hbour- anters The Orphanage contains 16 girls as boarders, and as day- fo the scholars 23 Christian girls, 13 Christian and 18 Heathen boys, | g that altogether 60 children.

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 Je has 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- " After field and in getting an insight into the work. His personal appearancé i Which commanded respect and love. Christian as well as heathen Negroes 78 ——— 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 Perso had only landed at Cape-Coast Castle a fortnight before him. Instead of { of the joyful reception at Kyebi, which he had at first expected, he Journg thus met with only signs of the most poignant grief, and in place of Mung duties of inspection, he had on the 3rd of February, the melancholy Native task of preaching her funeral sermon. Nor was this all. ‘When—a Postag foftnight later—he entered Begoro on the 15th of February, a few Librgy minutes before his arrival, a young Missionary had been buried. Specia These sudden deaths, besides two, where husband and wife died Nedieg within a fortnight, coupled with climatic influences, brought about a Schogls relapse. He was taken to Accra, but too weak to avail himself of Ol' phan the Mail-Steamer. Nothing was left untried to save his precious life. Cateoh He died on the Tth of April in the Lord. His death is a great loss to our whole Mission, especially Buﬂdinl Puygpy to the African branch. Although our work is not in vain in the Lord and the first- TaXes ; Publigy fruits of different tribes begin to be gathered in here and Fm‘ﬂitm there—yet, as the Patriarchs of old took first possession of Ay 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.
