R U E 854 01 ( | ¥ ngf. fl el N AN T D N 0of ] ) N reviewing the past year, we have to acknowledge, that U1 it is owing to the mercy and loving kindness of our God, 0f ? that we have not been dealt with according to our sins hy and shortcomings. We have been spared and permitted to Wl see His gracious working in the young Church, as well as thy among the heathen. the 1 Looking at the Congregations, the total increase since of 1882 amounts to 265 souls. Of these 171 have been added it} 41; to the Church of Christ through baptism of heathen (viz. 122 adults and 49 children). The remainder (94), is due to an g O excess of births (318), over deaths (185), and other losses. Kot As regards the Baptism of heathen, all Stations (3 being excepted) were permitted to add one or more souls, Udapy Loy disc taking the lead with 58. In our four Districts the following numbers were baptized, 4. e. in Canara-Coorg 83, in Malabar 44, tut]l in South-Mahratta 35, and on the Hills 9. Owing to past Stat sad experiences, our Brethren have been more careful in baptizing Catechumens belonging to the lower and working the o5 classes, as their knowledge is mostly defective and their mo- 7 gl ool tives for joining the Mission are in many instances unsatis- factory. What is the benefit of increasing numerically, when there is not a corresponding growth in Divine power and spirituality Nay, the danger of exposing the living mem- bers to their being contaminated by worldly-minded church- members cannot be too strongly depicted. We rather prefer to increase slowly, and to keep in view the standard which our Lord has given for all who desire to be His followers The Lord in His mercy has cheered us up greatly through the conversion of a number of individuals, who have experi- enced in their hearts the renewing and regenerating power of God, and who for Christ’s sake, have endured the loss of their social standing and submitted to slights annoyance, ridi- cule and persecution Such cases will be found mentioned I under Kotargiri, Tellicherry, Mercara, Basrur and Guledgud , Of the excommunications fully 46 p. c. fall on Mulky which has b had the mortification of seeing worldly-minded Christians 0 who either resented or dreaded Church-discipline go back to 1§ the heathen, showing thereby that they had only come for the sake of the “loaves and fishes” After due consideration {9 of additions and deductions to be made, our Congregations numbered on the Ist of January 1884 7980 souls, of whom d 4150 are communicants ) They live in 19 Missionary Stations and 100 and odd Out-stations which lie grouped round them 1l Of our 19 Stations Mulky, Karkal, Hubly, Tellicherry and Kotargiri show among them a decrease of 119, who 14 however joined other Stations Mulky lost through Church- ¥ discipline, and Hubly through having to part with three insti- 5 tutions which, owing to fever, were transferred to the healthler L Station Bettigerry. b To strengthen the feeling of Christian fellowship between in the different Churches of one Collectorate District Mission 3 Lestivals are being held. Such took place at Calicut on the 10: 8 e 6th of September, at Mdngalm*e on the 1st of November and at Hubly on the 15th of November 1883. to In connection with the above Mission festivals the Eu- l ropean and Native Presbyters of the different Churches meet i for a District Synod, when the spiritual state and®he various ¢f wants of each District are discussed. Such Synods were held at Calicut on the 5th of September, at Mangalore on the I al 31st of October and at Hubly on the 14th of November 1883. 2 As regards our Schools, we have to state that owing to the transfer of the different Orphanages mentioned in our €l ik last Report, which was effected early in 1883, the Betti- gerry Orphanage for girls, the Calicut Orphanage for girls, foy and the Hubly Orphanage for boys disappear from this year’s to Census. This causes a decrease of 26 boys and 43 girls hi (boarders). We need not repeat that not only a saving in a0l men, and funds, but also a healthier growth of the Congre- )6, gations is thereby effected. Let orphans, who are such in- Sl deed, be cared for, and be brought up according to their Ing future mode of living. Orphanages at their best are only We make-shifts and a faint attempt at offering a home to desti- Vi§ tute children; and every body knows, that children brought hey up in famalies, are far better fitted to brave the world and to battle against its hardships and temptations. the The Vernacular Day-Schools of the szgregaﬁon have had an increase of 127 girls and 36 boys, it being a rule that every 18 child, girl as well as boy, who has completed his or her sixth ViO' year, whether the parent is well-to-do or poor, is bound to the attend school till confirmation, which takes place between the ages of 14 and 15. g, The Vernacular Schools for Heathen Boys have only increas- of ed by 28, making in all 1129; the Anglo- Vernacular and High Dis Schools, however, show an increase of 306 pupils or 1367 Y in all. . Ject 9 e Concerning the Heathen Girls’ Schools, we are sorry to have to mention a decrease of 10 girls. There were last year only 202 heathen girls under instruction. Our exertions have, f however, not flagged, and we hope the Lord will crown our 18 efforts with better success next year. [0 Taking them all in all, our different Schools educate 4330 16 pupils or 322 more than in 1882. The Grants-in-aid received are shown on the last page. 3 Whereas on the one hand we try to get rid of needless 8 Il encumbrances, by parting with landed property when its ! management becomes a bore, and a heavy responsibility, as for instance, in South-Mahratta, so on the other hand Preaching s, '8 to the heathen has been carried on with more energy than has hitherto been the case. Our brethren and Native Assistants Is i acknowledge that the work of the first pioneers has already begun to tell on the people, and that much of their present When we 1 success is due to the devotion of many a veteran. mention here and there the number of days spent in travelling, Al we intend to include longer journeys only; house to house | visits, and bazaar-preaching in the places of residence not being counted. i 4 The Agents of the Mission have been increasing during the year under review. There are 89 Christian Schoolmasters or 9 more than in ad o1y 1882, and non-Christian Teachers 61, against 51 of the pre- vious year. The number of Christian Schoolmistresses remains (th the same as before, namely 27. £0 The Christian Teachers of the different Stations meet once a the month in order to have their knowledge supplemented by one of the Missionaries. Once .a year all the Teachers of a 0 District assemble in some central locality, when they read their hﬂh essays and hear dissertations on different educational sub- il jects. Such meetings were held in Dharwar and Chombala. A - s R ’10 The number of Native Pastors is the same as the year before. a There are 5 Catechists and Evangelists more than last year, 85 in all. Of these 3 have come from the Mangalore Seminary, and 3 from the Evangelists’ School, formerly at €] Hubly, one has been pardoned and reinstated, and another S admitted on trial. of We have again the painful duty of recording that one i of our older and most able Catechists of 25 years of service, whom we expected in the course of time to become a pattern 8 to the younger Catechists, has been too much addicted to drink and has become deeply involved in debt. To screen (8 himself he had taken refuge in systematic untruth. Dear as 1 the man was to us, we had to discharge him with sorrow. al A humble labourer (Chrysostomus) has succumbed to small- in pox. But Paul Devadattan, as mentioned last year, has shamefully deserted us. V1§ The monthly course of instruction, imparted to the Native (if Assistants belonging to each Station, has taken place re- s gularly. There are yearly District gatherings, when, if possible, all our Native Preachers meet in some central place not 0 only to show the progress made in preaching to Christians [ and Heathen and in catechizing, but also to receive some new Ing stimulus for the work. These have been held in Mangalore FI@ (Nov.) and in Calicut (Oct.).—We employ these agents to assist foy the Missionaries in charge of Congregations, in the capacity Our of teachers, itinerant preachers etc. All of them, according to an order from our Committee, are to be admitted to the N pulpits of the different principal and subordinate Churches, Dy and to preach to the heathen as often as they can, a non- it preaching Catechist being considered a misnomer. At the moment of publishing this Report we have 43 ferg Ordained Missionaries and 18 Lay-Brethren. gy an( 11 s L al The Missionaries of each Station meet for weekly prayer N and Biblical discussion Besides this. all the Missionaries of I a District have a yearly meeting in order to discuss the differ- ab ent questions which have arisen during the previous year 93 Such District Conferences were held at Calicut on the 4th of September, at Mangalore on the 30th of October, and at It Hubly on the 13th of November There are 50 Missionaries’ wives, most of whom were. re- (e, 1 gularly engaged in the supervision of the sale of books and to tracts, of Infant Schools, of Industrial Schools, in the economi- el cal management of Girls’ and Boys’ Orphanages, in instruction as in needle- and fancy-work to the girls of our different Christian W and Heathen Schools, in tailoring to our orphan boys, in visit- ll ing the sick women and children of the different parishes etc 198 Some of them, who have mastered the Native languages visit their female heathen neighbours at the Mother- or at the \EE different Out-stations—a quiet unpresuming work, which we 10 should like to see carried on vigorously. Although several of our Missionaries and their wives were hle nob poorly and even very sick, the Lord most mercifully spared us all We have, however a8 to record the death of two old e Indians at home, viz. the Rev.

Mr. Diez has i returned in April 1883 and resumed his old work. Mr. & i Mps. anusenbeﬁger, who stayed partly here, partly at Udapy, were forced on account of fever to leave for Furope in De- cember 1883. Mrs. Hoch, owing to ill-health, was absent A nearly eleven, and Mr. Hoch for about five months from the W Station. 01 The Congregation is under the charge of Mr. Miinner, il assisted by a Deacon and three Catechists. It numbers 1497, against 1379 in the previous year. 1429 of these, and 830 of ! the 873 communicants, live in and around Mangalore. The large increase of this year is due to immigration of Christian it families from the District.—The little flock in Jeppu, numbering W 175 (1882: 157), is in charge of Mr. Furtado since April 1883. il A new Chapel has been dedicated in Jeppu to Divine Worship on the 8th of July.—As the new Kudroli Tile-Works near i Bokapatna have attracted some of our poor Christian families 18 from the District, regular Sunday Services have become It necessary at the latter place. fiy All these Services, a few occasional Canarese Services in Ui the Balmattha Church excepted, are in Tulu; there are be- | sides alternate Canarese and Malayalam Sunday Services in ky the Catechists’ Seminary. The first were held by Messrs. Graeter i} | and Hoch, and the other by Messrs. Liebendorfer and Diez. Also regular Divine Services for the English Congregation at I St. Paul’s were conducted by Messrs. Graeter, Hoch, Liebendirfer and Diez; those Sundays excepted, when either the Lord I Bishop of Madras or the Chaplain from Mercara officiated, D As to the spiritual and moral condition of the Church, we are al not only aware that everywhere tares crop up, but also that We the Lord knows those who are His. To abet another in his I sins, formerly considered an act of charity, finds less and less 15 he favour. There are such, who instead of screening sin urge a8 those who have fallen to make a clean breast of it, and con- fess their sins There are some who drink in secret, who, 7, when heathen, did not venture to touch a drop. These 6 misunderstand evangelic liberty from sin, hell and devil nt as a kind of Libertinism. Be it they, or any others, who he walk unruly, they are admonished, and made to feel that our God has called us not to lasciviousness but to holiness. ", We ought to mention that there is a Sickhouse in connec- i tion with the Mission, offering a home to a number of 16-18 of destitute, lame, maimed, blind, sickly and decrepit persons, he mostly women, among whom 2 are Catechumens. They all o depend on charity. A married couple has charge of the place, where daily prayers are conducted for the benefit of the in- ) g ) mates. Preaching to the heathen has received due attention. The ip ar weekly bazaar-preaching in Mangalore in Canarese and Tulu 163 is held more frequently. It has been supplemented by weekly religious discussions in one of our buildings, carried on at iy first in English and then in Canarese. These are generally 1 preceded by a sermon, when afterwards the discussion begins, Mr. Graeter presiding. Though the results may be hid, we e 1n know that a spirit of enquiry or even the desire of prepossess- ing others favourably with their religious views is a hundred o times better than a stagnant state of mental apathy, provided at always no idle wrangling takes place. Many small heathen festivals round Mangalore were visited. o |fd Mr. Hoch and Seminarists went to Vitla, Mr. Graeter, Mry. Diez and Seminarists to (Farengipett), Bantwal, Puttur, Kavu, and Mr. Diez and Seminarists to Manjeshwara. Mr. Digel 10 ok went to Subrahmanya, and Mr. Digel and Mr. Layer to Sulya. The Catechists were travelling 465 days. his The different Schools have, on the whole, done well. p§9 e 16 The mixed Parochial Schools at Jeppu (24) and Nireshvalya (35), the Parochial Boys’ School (106) and the Parochial Girls’ E School (97) and the Infant School (80) have steadily progressed. Sickness has made itself most felt among the smallest children. The above schools are supplemented by a Sunday-School (60) and two Night-Schools for apprentices (of 25 and 12 re- spectively). Schools for Heathen Children are': The English School at Mangalore under Mr. Layer’s charge numbers in the Canarese division 125, and in the English division 196 pupils, or 321 in all. Of these 28 are Christian boys and 2 Christian girls and 19 Heathen girls. The Anglo-Vernacular School at Bekal with 4 classes has y suffered from a rival school, which absorbed some of the boys of the lower classes. (Sl The Hosdurg Anglo-Vernacular School numbered 70 children in 4 classes, and seems to do pretty well. In the Hindu Girls’ School earnest work has been done in i the year under review, although it may not appear so at first sight. Anyhow though the numbers may not have risen, the § t girls have improved in knowledge. The number of children receiving instruction in Mangalore ¢ and its Out-stations amount in all to 824,3 of whom 68 are ) | Heathen girls. f The Catechists’ Seminary, in which the Assistant Catechists, i Catechists and Pastors of our Mission are being educated, has 0 been under the charge of Messrs. Graeter, Diez and Hoch. II Catechist Christanuja, besides his share of teaching, superintends the studies and supplies the wants of the students. There B are four classes. The Theological, Biblical and Linguistic D lessons have been imparted through the medium of Canarese fo and Malayalam. All learning, however valuable in itself, is Iy worthless in the cause of Religion, when the possessor is not W 17 a converted man, and his heart is not warmed by the love of Christ, whereas on the other hand its value is enhanced when he is converted to God, and makes all his learning subser- vient to the great aim for which he is called. Yet to convert these young men is not ours but the Lord’s. We feel daily ) more and more how dependent we are on His quickening influences. The last year, above many a bygone one, has been full of sorrow and humiliation. As we observed in the footnote of last g6 sh year’s Report, our Seminary was set on fire by an incendiary on the night of the 25th of March. The roof being of bamboos, cover- Ll ed with a thick layer of straw, which had been accumulating for Had the roof not been a8 years, the fire made speedy havoc. set on fire in two places simultaneously, when the fire was first »)S detected, much could have been saved. As it was, nearly all el the books, manuscripts, clothes, furniture, harmonium etc. became a prey to the flames. Also Catechist Chr. Watsa, who 1 had to see first to the safety of his family, lost much of his kit Owing to this calamity the pupils of the Seminary were 156 sent to their homes. They returned after six weeks. With he them came seven pupils, six from Udapy, and one from Telli- cherry. A student, who had kept a School, returned after two )16 years’ leave. On account of the above mentioned accident 16 the examination of the highest class took place only in May, instead of April, when three students were added to the list {8, of Native Preachers. The new School-year 1883-84 was begun 135 f in the verandah of one of our bangalows, on the 7th of May. Towards the end of May our pupils and Catechist Chr. Watsa s and family put up again in the temporarily roofed in and 0 ['0 »tlc patched up Seminary, not without a deal of personal discom- fort; and we sincerely hope that better accommodation will 030 be provided, before another year comes round. Scarcely had 18 we begun our work, when the hand of the Lord was lying 106 3 18 Sl heavily on Mr. & Mrs. Graeter. We had the sorrow to commit three of their children within five weeks to their graves. Whilst on the one hand much Divine work was going on in { the souls in an unobtrusive way, on the other hand we were also startled by signs of a spirit of"dissatisfaction in some. Not that we were alarmed; we know that as new wine ferments before it becomes palatable, so young men must be allowed a time for reflection. It only becomes an element of danger, when persons puffed up by spiritual pride look down upon If others, whilst they themselves are servants to the flesh. such do not leave of their own accord, they must be dismissed. Thus in the past year two left us, and another had to be sent away. One left us for one to two years, to practice teaching in a School, whereas a fifth one asked for his dis- charge. During the School-year a young man formerly edu- cated at the Udapy Preparatory School, and another from the Evangelists’ School at Hubly, have been admitted. We close the year with 29 students. 1I.

Concerning the revision of the Tulu New Testament, the 0 Gospels of Mark, Luke and John, revised by Mr. Hartmann, )0 )0 have been examined by Mr. Minner, Mr. Ritter and other )0 Tulu Missionaries, and some competent Natives, as Messrs. )0 Furtado, Gojar and Sam.

Want of work for our Christians is a further source of grief. Yet it was not altogether cheerless—the humble faith in Christ, which shone forth in some who departed this life, was a, comfort to our Brethren. There has been a good deal of change amongst the agents of Juf the different Out-stations; especially Uchila had to part with its Pastor, Mr. Furtado, after 17 years’ devoted service (Feb- ruary 1883; see last year’s Report). In the Boarding School for Girls, orphans or destitute girls are brought up, not only in housekeeping and farming suited to the life of poor ryots, but also in the elements of learning and needle-work. The girls are healthy and happy. Besides i, 69 orphan girls, 19 boys and 9 girls visit the school. The sudden death of a poor girl, 13 years old, threw a gloom on our institution. Juliana was roasting some jack- fruit kernels, and in order not to be seen, stood so near the fire that her dress got ignited. There was sufficient and able help in the kitchen and, had she stayed, the fire would soon o5 0f have been extinguished; but unhappily she broke loose and ran into the yard, where a high wind was blowing at the time. hard arch Before assistance could be rendered she was so badly burned, take that she was past help. She lingered for four days, reciting in her clear moments Bible verses and hymns. On the fifth past day she died in great agony. rac There are other Parish Schools in Kadike (17), Santur gahip (11), Kutyar (8), Padur (38), Uchila (57), and Munderu (11).

Catechists of neighbour- ing Out-stations assist each other mutually in evangelizing their parishes. Visiting of houses at head-quarters and at Out-stations, which are not accounted for here, has taken place regularly. Mr. Eble has encountered a good deal of the “rice-christian spirit”, as it is called. «What will I get for my becoming a Christian?” «What you and your paid Agents said yesterday L at such and such a heathen festival, will not appease our hunger”. «“Who will join you without an equivalent?” «“You ought not to disappoint the expectations of Neophytes.” They cannot deny the claims of Christianity on them, but refuse to see the truly spiritual element in it. i f 0 fi W UDAPY. of Out-Stations: Nidambur, Beilur, Perala, Badegottu, Kapettu, Korangradi, Malapu, Bolja, Udyavara.

The Lord in His mercy did not allow him to ¥ continue in this conduct without bringing him to true Il repentance. There was still another hitch. He had taken an aversion against the person of his youngest son’s wife, which o increased the son’s uncharitableness towards her. However, when on his death-bed, he began to lament, saying: «“I cannot fa die with this sin on my mind.” His end was peace.—Some of ar the backsliders of the last year begin to see their sin, and desire of again the Manna they had once loathed.

The school is attended moreover by 1 heathen and 16 a8 Christian boys, and 1 heathen and 27 Christian girls. The or orphan boys cultivate some rice-fields in their time of recrea- el tion.—A very sad occurrence has cast a deep gloom on the Iy whole Station. Four boys, who for itch were kept in the sick- M room, had without leave gone to take a bath in a tank, when o, one naughty boy caught the idea to entice a boy, 9 years old, 38 to confide in him, that he would teach him to swim. In this experiment the boy slipped out of his hands, but instead of A raising an alarm, he and the other two boys quietly took his 150 clothes and went home, accounting for his absence by lies and, ad only after it was too late, confessing what had befallen him. The Middle or Preparatory School, and the Normal School, Iy g are in Mr. Brasche’s charge. He had a year of some anxiety. Six pupils were sent to the Catchists’ Seminary at Mangalore, g, de and one was installed as School-master. At the close of the 10 year both institutions numbered 19 and two pupils res- 16 pectively. an The Brahmin Girls’ School under Mrs. Ritter has had a prosperous year; there are now 24 girls. ich el Preaching to the heathen takes place during the weekly ot fair at Udapy, on heathen festivals, in and around Udapy, )Ot and during the visits to the many Out-stations.

He was interred before a large concourse ed of people, when Mr. Gengnagel improved the occasion by prea- ching in Canarese. The day following a Brahmin told Mr. has Gengnagel “Your way of burying the dead is far more solemn ) 10 than ours. You look beyond the grave, whereas we only look ing wmto the grave.” el Also this time we are glad to report the baptism of two souls truly regenerated by God’s Spirit, namely a Brahmin 081 of the name of Subbaraya, the brother of Christananda (see Report 1882, page 33) and his wife Padmavati. Ldeyl’ Subbaraya is about 40 years old. He lost his mother when young 1% and had to look after the household affairs. Although an adult, he managed by dint of energy to learn to read and write and to master a Mantra-Shastra, or a book on sorcery. Disappointed in his expectations to get a revelation from a famous Mariyamma (a kind of Bhadrakali) at Kollur, he began to fall into a gloomy mood, when 32 e the Christian books which Christananda, his brother, had brought, [ began to rouse in him a desire for peace with God. This increased the greatly after Christananda’s conversion. The Heart Book suggested fol to him some new thoughts, and the sacrifice of Christ gave him light Sl and energy to look out for pardon. el It was, however, difficult to put into practice the conviction of his bni th'e heart, which caused him a good deal of annoyance and personal dis- comfort. He was greatly assisted by his wife Padmavati, the fo daughter of Venkataramana Eitalaru, a pandit, who was priest to the Ini about 200 Brahmin families, and as such, a man pious according to Hindu notions. Although he did not send her to school, he taught ing her the contents of the Bhagavata and Ramayana, and especially fo. It was she, who interceded hu impressed on her mind the fear of God. with her hushand not to use violence against Christananda, in order fen to make him a renegade. Under her soothing influence he was Th stp invited back to their home; the only discomfort to him was, that he should have to eat by himself. Ma This worthy couple opened their house to Chris"cananda, but because e for they did not perform his obsequies, as publicly demanded, their excommunication was pronounced by the Mattha or convent. This Wh began to tell rapidly. Formerly courted and respected, they were now Py shunned and despised even by those, who had been accustomed to seek medical advice from them. To cause people to shun them G still more, some took a delight in spreading all sorts of incredible reports, for instance, that the Missionary had forced Christananda D 01 16y to eat meat, and on his objecting to do so, had beaten him so severely, that his secreams were heard in the bazaar, more than a mile off. 2 In May, Subbaraya took off his brahmanical string and asked to be instructed for baptism, together with his wife. ‘When their neighbours saw their determination to become Christians, they looked (ay down upon them as outlaws, and attempted to dispute their right to Bag certain ancestral lands. Padmavati was warned by her mother to Yoy forsake hor husband, should he become a Christian. Others demanded Preg of her to give np the Padri’s book, the Bible, that they might burn tan it, ““else” they added, “you may become crazy and lunatic as your uy; 33 e e b brother.” The nearer the time came for their baptism, the more sed the efforts to keep them back were redoubled. Padmavati was ted told by her mother, that she and ‘her husband had lost caste and oht sunk zco the level of Shudras, wherefore both should get them- selves purified, that she might again visit, stay and take meals with s them. Seeing she did not prevail, she left saying: “QOh child, you dis bring me into hell 177 Three months later her mother tried her best the to convince her that, to part with one’s husband was a smaller evil, fto than to lose one’s caste. Padmavati replied that many a Brahmin ing misbehaved, yet his wife did not forsake him; her husband was try- oht ing to act up to God’s commands; whether she should leave heaven ally to her husband and be satisfied with hell.

The arrival of Mr. Schenkel (Sth November na 1883) was therefore hailed with joy. He has put up in Anan- fo dapur, Myr. Grimm joined in April 1884, The Congregation shows 79, or 8 more than in 1883, owing o to 6 baptisms and to re-admission of 3 excommunicated mem- b bers. Mr. Veil writes: foo e, Of the former, three were heathen, namely a Coorg woman and her child, and a Brahmin of the name of Balaram, who is one of those pla tho souls, whom the Father has mercifully been drawing to His son. He is a descendant of the Saravaryas, a branch of the Kanya- o] 100, kubja Brahmins, [also called Panchagaudas, permiited to do military service], who come from Oude and speak Hindi. affg od His father, who was a Sepoy in a Rajput Regiment under Hy- Con der Aly, afterwards took service under the East India Company. Balaram was born in Conjevaram, South Arcot, and accompanied his fak parents to different military stations till he found employment as 16 writer under the Mysore Government. In 1869 he became a Ope she Teacher and as such was employed in the Government School at Mercara in 1879. Strictly brought up as he was, he most scrupulously observed ela] the caste-rules, and tried for some years to live up to a religion, Cop which was a compound of the Vanaprastha (=eremite) and Bhikshu g ] The anxious observance of this kind (=religious beggar) sects. the 317 e of Sany?xsidonﬁ, combined with Védantism, did not fill the ?,ching void of his heart. In 1876, when the Bangalore Bible Society gave a Canarese Bible to each School, Balaram’s attention was attracted to it for the first time. He set about to study the whole Bible, and what Christian Canarese books he could get hold of. The perusal of these books and the intercourse with Mr. F. Veil convinced him that God’s ‘Word was true. He had intended to avow himself a Christian; but his wife’s disinclination prevented him. A severe attack of sickness, U however, from which he had recovered, strengthened his resolution. ely When he could walk again he went to pay his vows to the Lord, and received holy baptism on the 24th of June 1883, adding to his ber al name “Amruta’, to signify that he had died to sin and was living to Christ. After his return, his wife treated him as an excommunicated man, permitting him to sleep in the verandah only. ing On the third day he ik brought his wife to the Mission-compound, but she refused to take food in any shape. Pretending to fetch her cooking utensils, she went to the bazaar, when her former friends got her to lodge 4 com- and plaint against Mr. F. Veil for wrongful confinement. At that time the 1086 thoughts of many were revealed. A native friend brought the woman to her senses, and she withdrew her complaint; but now Balaram’s N mother used all her influence to alienate her daughter-in-law’s fary affection in order to preserve her caste, and she would have succeed- ed, had not Balaram’s younger brother, a sepoy in a N.I. Regiment, fiy convinced her, that Balaram being an upright and earnest man, had any taken this step to satisfy his conscience. She made up her mind to It rejoin her husband. Both live now together, but except the Lord s opens her eyes and helps her to the liberty of the children of God, e 8 she must consider herself wronged and sinned against. | af On the 17th of April 1884 twenty-five years will have elapsed since the first baptism and the founding of the pved Congregation in Anandapur by the late Rev. Dr. Migling, after ;iﬂnv he had rejoined the Basel Mission. Of the 42 persons baptized ishu then, only 12 are alive; and of the ten families the male scions kind 38 AL of 4 have become extinct. C'atechist J. Aarons is stiil in charge fi of that Congregation. There are some well-disposed persons, ho others again are lukewarm and indifferent; some young men s are bent on mischief; there is therefore enough of work to b il done. - M Bazaar-preaching is being carried on pretty regularly at S Mercara, Veerarajendrapett, Amatti and Siddhapur. du The northern half of Coorg with the North-Coorg Cooly- Pl Mission, was worked by Mr. F. Veil, Catechist Bethuel Soens he and Evangelist J. Upranna. The latter spent 159 days I in itinerant preaching. So Mr. F. Veil had charge of the itinerancy of the southern 80 half of Coorg and the South-Coorg Cooly-Mission, till Mr. 81 Schenkel relieved him in November 1883. Assistant Catechist e Lewis Salins since March, Catechist Joseph Mandody from M the middle of May (71 days), and Catechist Joshia Aarons g whenever he could disengage himself from congregational off work, visited among themselves 60 plantations. taf The Cooly-Mission in North- and South-Coorg was carried Wl on by 3-4 Catechists on 90 plantations, the time when the of coolies were absent from Coorg producing an unavoidable an interruption for some months. My. Veil or Mr. Schenkel diy visited all these plantations. The coolies are not entirely indifferent. ley Dull and listless as they may look, they now and Coc then ask questions which prove their understanding, and In | when the light dawns upon them, they confess that they have la) gone astray. The gentlemen in charge of the plantations kindly con- 8] tributed towards the salaries of the Catechists, and subscrip- Seh tions for the same purpose were received from England. Yet this lag| year the receipts were not sufficient to pay all the expenses C0y connected with the Cooly-Mission. As a rule the support, arg pecuniary as well as moral, which we received in this work g 39 Sl el 96 from the Planters is worthy of high commendation It 1s 1S, however, only to be expected that they should interest them- 161 selves in the first instance in providing for their own spi- he ritual wants, "and for this purpose they invited the Wesleyan Missionaries and the Chaplain of Mercara to hold Divine ab Services in English in some central places This pro- duced the natural wish, that the English work amongst the iy Planters, and the Canarese work amongst their coolies should el be in the same hand, and a proposal was therefore made to J§ us, to give over the Cooly-Mission, and in fact all work in South-Coorg (excepting Anandapur) to the Wesleyan Mission e so that one of their number might be induced to become re- M sident in South-Coorg. The Wesleyan Missionaries, however st declared most distinctly that they would never infringe on our 0m Mission-field without our free consent Much as we wished to ons meet the wishes of all parties, we could not on mature reflexion nal offer to withdraw . from the Canarese work on the plan- tations, as this must have implied a withdrawal, first from the jed whole of South-Coorg, and at a later period from the whole he of Coorg, in which our Mission has heen working for 25 years ble and we therefore made proposals for another kind of by otherly el division of labour; and as it finally appeared that the Wes- ely leyan Mission could not spare a man for work exclusively in nd Coorg, both Missionary Societies are now working together nd in harmony without interfering with each other’s sphere of labour ave The Girls’ 8chool in the Mission-compound was carried on 00 as before, the number of girls being 16 The projected Boarding ip School for Coorg girls has not yet been established although s last year the way seemed to be quite smooth for a speedy completion 568 But from several causes a strong opposition arose amongst part of the leading Coorgs, so that they with- oot otk drew the signatures they had already given in support of the 40 e cause, and. did all in their power to thwart the plans of the other party, which remained firm in the resolution to have the Boarding School opened under the care of the Mission. And indeed it is evident under the present circumstances that such a Boarding School in Mercara cannot be established unless connected with the Mission; whilst any considerable extension of female education in Coorg is as much as impossible without a Boarding School. After the Chief Commissioner had received a number of petitions and counter-petitions, proposals and counter-proposals, he at last decided that either party should be supported in its own separate plan, and we thus feel confident that the Boarding School will soon be opened as planned at first. An English Lady, Mrs. L. Blandford, the widow of an Un- covenanted Civil Servant, has been engaged to supervise and teach in this Girls’ School.

The mother, in spite of difficulties, managed g6 to learn by heart the Creed, the Ten Commandments, and the Lord’s 1e & Prayer. They were baptized on the 2nd of September. This is a1y one of the fruits of work done some 40 years ago. ofs, On the other hand we had to grieve over the case of a las young Brahmin, Anndji Joisi, who made a bold profession and received baptism. He believed the flattering words of his )0ve family and caste-mates, and returned into their midst, not to omé use his Christian liberty, but to walk according to caste-ob- Tom servances. May the Lord save him “as a fire-brand plucked afry out of the burning.” his Concerning the spiritual life of this Congregation, we have inst to remark that there are a few, whose Christian conduct may and serve the heathen as a commentary of their profession. Such As persons have a certain power to rebuke sin and to invite the others to Christ. it The Orphanage for Girls has been slightly enlarged to e receive the 31 orphan girls, who arrived from Bettigerry on el the 30th of January 1883. There are only 53 inmates, some alo 6% R 44 having married, others found employment, others again were sent back to their parents after their confirmation. Nine girls are day-scholars. It took fully nine months before the new comers were reconciled to new ways, and before all the girls took a liking to each other. It was a matter of great thank- fulness to see the anxiety of the elder girls to avoid lying and reviling—the fruit of the instruction for confirmation, to which much care and time was devoted. On the other hand, Mr. & Mrs. Ziegler and their assistants were pained to find with some girls, especially famine orphans, that lying and stealing seem to be an irradicable evil, and that it is very difficult to reform quarrelsome dispositions. 1n ¢h The girls not only learn native housekeeping thoroughly, but cultivate also their own Cayenne pepper, and learn all al sorts of useful needle-work. The Anglo-Vernacular School and the Canarese Boys’' School ol had to compete with two rival schools; the former numbers th only 69 against 83, whereas the latter shows 67 against 61 in B 1882.

It will still take some time till the mothers-in-law learn to treat their Christian daughters-in-law ar] el in a manner worthy of the Gospel. Many of them cannot yet see the difference between the heathen custom of getting 0t a baby or a bit of a girl as their daughter-in-law, to be wh Th moulded and educated at their wills, (when, for instance, a son, 20 years old, marries a baby 11 year old, as it often happens), r and the Christian way, when a grown up, well educated and an Th sensible girl, who had a voice in the matter when she married, enters their house fit to manage a household. att In Unakallu some depressing experiences were made. the Mr. Roth writes as follows: There was a certain Skantappa, a priest who had come in 1866, when 30 years old. When Mr. Huber, who baptized him, went home in 1869, he did not take well to his successor. At that time he became sickly. He kept aloof and died without repentance and desire for pardon. A certain J. Hawala, a weaver, had joined in 1857. As he was an able man, he was made Assistant Catechist in 1863 he, however, employed all his spare time to earn money by weaving in addition to his salary. Not feeling at ease, he gave up preaching in 1868, and fell into money-making, lawsuits ete. In 1874 he seemed to be tired of his ways. He became the manager and the caterer of the Orphanage. ‘When, however, some of his and his wife’s sins came to light, fearing that they would be visited with Church-dis- cipline, he broke off his connection for some time. He made againnew advances, and it looked as if he had really repented, but, alas, money was his ruling passion. Poor man! he must be pitied on account of his misspent life. In the Parochial School at New Hubly 12 boys and 10 girls, and in that at Unakallu 10 boys and 2 girls are being in- structed.

A few men ventured to bring the hiy twentieth part of the produce of their fields.—But there are e A Eed B 9 of also dark spots. In two houses ill-feeling, ilard words and sed blows had reached such a pitch, that even heathen neighbours had to interfere. Worse than that, one of the women was 10g el caught in the act of hanging herself, and the other one was rescued from death by a speedy cutting of the rope, on which ing she had suspended herself. There exist also old family- net quarrels, which any small occurrence may revive. Our hope stands in the Lord, who is powerful to regenerate the hearts nd of men, and to reconcile them with each other. e, ler The Girls’ Orphanage has been closed. It was opened 30 years ago by Mrs. Wiirth, and had received up to date 236 eIt girls, some for a longer, some for a shorter time. Of these many bl were born out of wedlock. 07, Heathen mothers, knowing such waifs would not be rejected, instead of killing their offspring, 710 which were an encumbrance to them, brought them sometimes nal the when only a few weeks old, and, although we knew the chances of their being brought up to be very few, we received them, nd thus preventing crime and enabling the mother, who had lost ol of caste and would have entered upon a course of profligacy, to be re-admitted into her caste. This institution then was closed, her and the girls (31) were sent to Dharwar, where they entered the nd ke Girls’ Orphanage on the 30th of January 1883. The Parochial School at Shagoti had to be temporarily ur, closed. el Instead of the Gurls’ Orphanage We established an Orphanage al for Boys. The inmates came partly from Hubly (on the 2nd of nd February 1883, 34 boys), and partly from Guledgud (on the :d’) Tth of February 1883, 32 boys), 66 in all. It numbers now 70. el A heathen boy, about 17 years old, belonging to the hunter- caste (Bédaru), prompted by a great desire to learn, asked for o admission, and as we saw that he was in earnest, we received the him on trial. Till the boys of the two amalgamated institutions the were reconciled to the place, management and treatment, and 10 7 50 till they took kindly to each other, a goodldeal of dislike had to be overcome. We have been deeply affected to see, that with many of the younger boys lying and stealing is their besetting S1n On the other hand we are thankful, that the elder boys do not tolerate sin. Several of them have even expressed a desire to work in the Lord’s vineyard, and we wish, after the sifting process is over, a few may prove worthy of it. The Training School for Schoolmasters has also been trans- ferred from Hubly to this Station. My. Daimelhuber has charge of it. Of 12 lads in 3 classes one had to be dismissed for disobedience, one left of his own accord, and two, having In successfully passed their examination, were made Teachers. During the year some heathen boys (7) also visited this school. The Evangelists’ School has been transplanted from Hubly in February 1883, and is now in Mr. Daimelhuber’s charge. Four young men have absolved the course of instruction laid down for 3 years. Three between 29 to 38 years have entered the service of the Mission as Assistant Catechists, and one has gone to Mangalore to prosecute his studies in the Catechists’ Seminary. Six young men have been admitted as students. foy The Parochial Girls’ School has 20 girls. The Vernacular School for Christian and HeathenBoys has been ol removed to a more suitable locality and numbers now 54 boys. 1g) In preaching to the heathen, the Missionaries and Catechists took part as much as their regular work permitted. M. 86 Hasenwandel remarks, how painful it is, whilst travelling I through the country, to be reminded every now and then of the b ravages of the famine. Many a ruined house has not yet been re- 2 built, and impoverished peasants who, whilst they struggle brave- ly against want by trying to purchase carts and bullocks with bor- i'l' rowed money, become in a measure the bondmen of money- lenders.

They first threatened to call a Jesuit Padre from 54 Dharwar to establish a rival Mission, and after some time put phc the threat into execution. He came and paraded the streets, K cross in hand, proclaiming himself as ¢he right Christian teacher. A challenge of a public disputation he rejected. Although an| the seceders did not join him immediately (Report 1866, I6C p. 49), they gradually formed into a small body. Since then an persons, who disliked Church-discipline not only tried to in- hor timidate us, but left us from time to time. They now muster the about 40. Also this year a Jesuit Padre came to receive some il persons, who had been disciplined, and tried to increase his kn Dis flock by hook and crook. Pompous demonstrations to attract, and alarming. rumours to intimidate the weak were got up. M T The rumours consisted in unbounded boasts, that the Romish Jou Church was gaining ground everywhere, that His Royal High- He ness, the Prince. of Wales, had become Roman Catholic, that ahg Protestant Missionaries will have to flee and Evangelical Christians to suffer persecution. The visit ended with a pom- ny bap pous marriage procession, and when he left, the heathens said: ha} «It seems that new Gods have been set forth”. thy Let us turn now to a more cheerful picture, and behold 0n the wondrous workings of our God, which are calculated to He encourage drooping hearts. bap Myr. Warth writes: He The Christians of the Mother-station, Out-stations and’ several of of other villages, to the number of 350, had united on the 23rd of Sep- tember to celebrate a Mission Festival. Our Christians entertained Pro joyfully the guests, and some even regretted, that they could not do 53 1500 more. In connexion with this festivity an old Shastri, Moradiyappa, was ) baptized. He was born 1823 near Surapur in Nizam, as a Lingaite, ults his father keeping a shop for victuals. ‘When young, he visited the yolt school of a Lingaite priest, when older, he conversed with priests and Gurus of his sect. der He carried on a small trade, was weaving tents, and made native sweetmeats. The older he got, the less he felt Lom satisfied. He clung to different Gurus and passed through various put e, phases, as Lingaite, Puranist, Shikteya worshipper, Vedantist and Kalajnani. Emerging from the filth of the Shiakteya, he became her a Pantheist, presuming to be God. He then turned an Atheist, |u0h and in despair embraced the doctrine of the Kalajnanis, yet without 366, receiving a ray of light. He attained to great fame as a Shastri, hen and had many disciples. As often as he taught the Shastras, 10 however, he felt himself a cheat. About 5 years ago, shortly after st £l the famine, a Missionary from Bellary visited the place where Moradiyappa was. He disputed; at last the Missionary said: “You ome his know many Shistras no doubt, you should also read the Bible.” act, Dissatisfied, he left, but felt attracted by the quiet ways of the Missionary and especially the prayer offered up by him on a Sunday. up Yet he could not muster courage to draw nigher. He got from a nlsll young Brahmin a number of Tracts, by which light began to flow in. an He commenced to waver and sent a friend of his, to enquire further i hat This man arrived at Guledgud, but about the Christian religion. ieal instead of bringing him the information desired, he stayed and was o1 baptized. Meanwhile Moradiyappa went to all the villages, the in- habitants of which had looked up to him for guidance, to tell them il that he had led them astray during the last 25 years. It was on one of our preaching tours we met him on his way to Guledgud. old He received a course of solid instruction and on the day of his 1t0 baptism told the Congregation his motives for the step he had taken. He detests the Shastras and delights in the sweetness of the Word of God. He was truly contrite and heartily ashamed on account era] of his aberrations. His wife and children have joined him, and Sep- promise to become Christians. ined I d 54 adiiianna s There was yet another baptism: ] Venkata Swami, a Vaishnava Brahmin, born 1861 in Tirupati a f or Venkatagiri, was baptized on the 24th of December. His father,a yeb priest of the Venkata Swami or monkey-god, sent him, when 7 years old, for seven years to the London Mission School at Bellary to od Ma learn Canarese chiefly, and also some English. After some further schooling in Tirupati he entered the Public Works Department, but by Soe left it, when he was transferred to a place, where he could not per- Torm the ablutions in the way preseribed for a Brahmin. At that ang time he admired the life of a Sanyasi, fully convinced that such per- all adn sons have not only an odour of sanctity, but are really in close fellowship with God. To become a favourite with God, was hence- Wa loa forth the goal of his life. He set out for Shrirangapattana (Seringapatam) where the feast of the famous Ranganayaka or he (re Vishnu was being celebrated, a god considered to change his shape thrice a day. After about a month his money was spent; ftill then Ver ke gave daily one Rupee to the officiating priest as a propitiatory oo nt present. In quest of more merit (punya)he wandered to the mysterious temple of Jamakeshvara. The god there, it was said, lived in a dark g Cag cave, which could be approached only through a very narrow passage. After waiting for a whole day till his turn came, he crawled into a Jeg pitch-dark hole. Here he had neither the longed-for vision of the god, nor did the god show his approval by letting drop a fruit of the el (Nirali) tree, standing before the temple, at his feet. He left disap- pointed, and during 21 years visited Tanjore, Kanjeepuram, Madura, Chy Kumbhakonam, Hampe, Visupakshi, Benares, Pandarpur and other shrines, yet, although sceking for holiness, he met everywhere with vice and deceif. In Pandarpur especially, where he put up in the 13 house of a Brahmin, who gave himself great airs, he was disap- pointed. ‘When he desired his host to show him the far-famed Vithoba god, that priest asserted, that except a meal for 20 priests Pay was paid for, that was impossible. After he had squeezed out of a§ him Rs. 2, he objected to show him the god, and when Venkata ang Swami returned to his quarters and demanded his bundle,he declared B I it had been stolen. The native official, to whom Venkata Swami da\ Ll 55 applied for help, declined investigating the case, but offered him a few Rupees to let the matter drop. ipati 161, & More or less conscious that he persued after a shadow, he would jears yet not give up his ways, because a good deal of admiration was lavish- JR ed on him by men. In all his wanderings, which extended from ifher Madras to Bombay, he had opportunities to hear the Gospel preached by Evangelical Missionaries. Although they belonged to different , but per- Societies and spoke different tongues, yet their preaching was one, and tallied with what he had heard formerly at Bellary, and they - that | pel- all were in earnest about what they advocated. In Bijapur his admirers presented him with a horse to travel to Ratnagiri.

The Catechists and Evangelists among themselves had 56 175 days. A great many Tracts and Christian books were sold, which will bear fruit in due time. The visits to the Out- stations offered many opportunities to preach to the heathen; and Guledgud itself had its fair share. The brethren observe that, with the spread of education not only the ability to read and a spirit of enquiry increase, but also that many young men read and admire the books of Huxley and other freethinkers, and look down upon those, who believe and advocate revelation. They met with such in Bagalkot and other places. We are glad to notice on the other hand that our Mission- aries often receive visits from inquiring heathen. Among these was a deputation from the Nudi sect, headed by their Guru. We hope that something more than politeness and curiosity may have prompted these visits.

We were sadly disappointed through the failure of a con- gl version. Mr. Hanhart writes: Kalyani, a daughter-in-law of the Svariipa Panikar or astrologer Al to the Kolattiri or Chiracal Rajah, had long intended to become a 1y Christian. As the compound, in which she was living, borders on the Mission-compound, she climbed over on the 29th of July with a A bundle of clothes, assuring the Catechist that her husband would W shortly arrive. She had scarcely been more than an hour in the fan Mission-house, when a motley crowd, armed with sticks and knives, trespassed into the Mission compound. Before our people were 19 aware of the matter, a powerful man broke into the Mission-house, K and took up the woman in spite of her resistance, followed by the old kil father-in-law, who beat her unmercifully till she fainted. She was 810 thrown over the mud-wall. Two Adhikaris (Patels) came, not to of A assist, but to revile the Catechist, and to encourage the mob. g, complaint was lodged in the Tahsildar’s Court. When the case came wlll on for hearing on the 15th of August, Kalyani was so well tutored and rel morally supported by her father-in-law, that she averred that she had washed certain clothes, and on her way home had called at the The Catechist’s, who wanted to persuade her to embrace Christianity. It had, however, never been her intention to become a Chyristian; Whi Loy, consequently she could not have been carried away by main force. tefy Through this untrue statement our case broke down. 1ty The law-suit of the Chiracal Rajah concerning our Chovva Wop settlement (see our Report of 1882, p. 53) was decided in our Wop 59 Pl B favor. f 1 The Rajah has now appealed to the High Court of Madras. stor, part The Parochial School at Cammnanore numbers 22 boys and 29 girls (51), and the one at Chovva 20 boys and 18 girls (38).

Liebendorfer had left in February 1883 to help in the Catechists’ Seminary at Mangalore for a short time, after which he embarked for Europe. My, Walter joined the Station in January 1884. The Tellicherry, Nettoor and Out-station Congregations number 403 against 414 of 1882, owing to change of residence of some Church-members. Anjarkandy has 36 souls against 42 of last year. We have been shocked to find that several male adults, who and had declared that they were abstainers, were habitual drunk- ards. They promised to reform; one, however, conceived the fatal idea, that opium might help him to give up drinking. lown This would be a falling out, as it were, of the frying pan into the fire. As regards our Congregations, we long to see more spirituality and consecration to the Lord. 3? ~62 LR, We had the privilege of baptizing a young man, who had Wh fot been converted in another Station, fion Mr. Dilger writes: Pal Johannan Satyarthi Nambiyar was born in 1860 some miles South of Chombala in a well-to-do large family. He lost his mother when pri peo very young. His maternal grandfather took him to his house and educated him. He visited several Schools, and in 1877 the High- As School at Cannanore. The change of climate, however, brought finy about a dangerous disease. He recovered, and began a religious life according to his ancestral religion, trusting in God, delighting he lati in the religious writings of the heathen and leading a moral life. upo In Tellicherry he studied in the High-School. The library of that School afforded nourishment to his awakening mind. Books on His- lac due tory, Natural history and Astronomy were swallowed indiscriminately. Overpowered by what he read, and seized by the fear of losing his personality by being absorbed one day into the Deity, like a drop in vill the ocean, melancholy and disgust of the world took hold of him. fogt Learning had now lost its charm for him. Not having found any- arg thing for his heart in those English books %e read, he paid especial pre; attention to the moral and philosophical sayings in native religivus poetry, which be rehearsed daily for devotion’s sake. The corrupt the morals of his countrymen, and the hypocritical self-righteousness of others, filled him with indignation. He thought himself superior, and 2 was thus on the way to become a self-satisfied man. At that time he was prevailed upon to read for Matriculation. He went to the Mission School at Calicut, then in charge of Mr. Matthissen, and heard in the £8§ { Bible lessons quite new things, by which means many of his doubts were solved. The New Testament was diligently searched, and in proportion as the Gospel light dawned, he found that Hinduism could o t not satisfy him any longer. He now began to worship the true God, instead of Vishnu. In 1880 he passed the Matriculation Examination. 13 As his father had vowed a pilgrimage to the famous shrine at Palani in case of his succeeding, and as the priests were already at work in his house to keep off evil, and as further lustrations and other ceremonies 00t had commenced, he thought he was bound to perform the pilgrimage. had When he heard the power of Subrahmanya praised so highly, he began to think that, although he and other gods were powerless to give salva- tion, they still might have power in terrestrial things. He went to Palani. The hollowness of the ceremonies, the juggleries of the U th when priests and other things, disgusted him so much, that he informed his people, that his faith in the Hindu mythology was shaken. R He got a place as Gumasthan in the Munsif's Court at Coilandy. Tigh He con- ught As he led a retired life, he was rediculed and despised. tinued reading the New Testament and Christian books. All along 10u8 he felt that religiousness in itself was not enough, if it has no re- {"1 fng Jife lation to an object; and as this was only found in Christ, he decided upon his becoming a Christian. He went to Tellicherry, to which ! hat place his former teacher, Mr. Matthissen,had been transferred. After His due course of instruction he was baptized. ately Preaching to the heathen was carried on as usual in the 0 his village of fishermen, the Out-stations, and during neighbouring 0p 1n i festivals. As the educational work engages fully two men, we any are glad, that Mr. Walter has been appointed to itinerant pecial preaching. olyus With reference to the Schools in Town we have to mention rupt the following: 189 Of The Anglo-Vernacular Parsi School has 272 pupils, of whom gnd 28 are Christian boys. Teachers and pupils have exerted ne he themselves and been on the whole successful. The Bible 19810 lessons, far from being a burden, give evidently pleasure to n the the generality of the students. The Brennen School, (spoken oubts \ﬂd 1n of in last year’s Report), has been given over by Government to the Municipality of Tellicherry. could The School for fishermen’s children numbers 47, of whom God, at 100 13 are girls. aniip The Parochial Town-Girls’ School has 11 girls and 2 boys o his on the roll. 100168 gt The Schools at Neﬁtoor are as follow: 64 i The VMiddlle-School has 19 pupils, and a temporary Pre- paratory School 8 pupils; the latter being the boys selected from the abolished Orphanage. In the Middle-School those, who wish to qualify themselves as Catechists and Teachers, receive the necessary preliminary training. Of these one entered the Catechists’ Seminary in Mangalore and two the Training School. My. Dilger, accompanied by the Teachers and pupils, visited several heathen festivals in the neighbour- hood. T The Training School for Teachers has 9 pupils. Two young men, who have passed the Government Examination, have been employed as Teachers. Two had to be dismissed, being found unfit. Both took revenge, the one by impertinence and an- other by attempting to hang himself. The Parochial School at Nettoor imparts instruction to 24 boys and 23 girls, making 47 in all. In the Sunday School 45 children come together. The Out-station Schools are: the Kittuparambu Vernacular School, superintended by Mr. Matthissen, with 42 boys, and the Anjarkandy Vernacular School under Mr. Dilger, with 4 girls, i one of whom, and 28 boys, six of whom, are Christians. b 11 The Weaving carried on here is a branch-business of the Cannanore Weaving Establishment, in charge of Mr. Dilger i) and under the supervision of Mr. Schonthal.

Lhe The Congregation on the Station and on the Out-stations ﬁilgei‘ Mahé and Muvaratu has increased by 34, numbering now 296 souls. rega- This increase is due to the baptism of 7 heathen, and to 23 girl-boarders, sent from Calicut. Of the few old Church-members, who had come in 1847, one, a fisherman, P. Silas, has entered into his rest. The Lord removed the dross and made him to rejoice, that though his sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. “I do not ask for anything else, but the grace granted to the malefactor on the cross.” These were his farewell words to his Pastor.—The death-beds of some, who exercised a bad influence when in life, were surrounded by a gloom, which no 9 66 Sl heavenly ray dispersed. Among them was that of a Native Br s s 86t Doctor, who despite exhortations used sorcery along with his medicines; he was seized by canker of the mouth and died thr suddenly. hay fon The Weaving Establishment, in charge of Mr. Schimolck, is a branch of the Cannanore Weaving Establishment, and as old Con such is under Mr. Schionthal’s supervision. This industry is a boon to the Congregation. ﬂ.le nig The Orphan Girls’ School has had an increase of 23 orphan od girls from Calicut, where the Girls’ Boarding School was Va closed. They arrived on the 4th of January 1883. It numbers Iin now 80 girls, two of whom are heathen. Of the inmates of tha the School several had been ' first Day-scholars and were th baptized when they came to years of discretion. The children whe of the Parochial School, viz. 4 girls and 17 boys, receive their fort schooling in this institution. The School is worked by female teachers only, whose teaching was approved of at the last Examination. The Franco-Vernacular School at Mahé, in which Malayalam and French are taught, has improved in spite of opposition. There are now 108 boys, 11 of whom are Christians. Preaching of the Gospel fo the heathen was taken up by Mr. Wagner and the Catechists, as far as their duties and health permitted. Mr. Wagner had 212, and his Native Assis- tants 755 days of itinerant preaching. By The Gospel has been preached in the northern and the Ry southern portion of the Kurumbranadu Taluq, so that, jungles By excepted, that District has been thoroughly worked during the past two years. Mr. Wagner reports: We met with many encouraging cases, for instance, a high-caste Shadra, who isin the habit of reading the Bible, advised a Brahmin inclined to dispute, to read the Bible and to judge for himself. The Sty 67 ative Brahmin consented, and began to appreciate the Bible and Christ | his set forth therein.—An old Nayar woman, who had lost her children died through death, and her property through family intrigues, after having heard the Word preached, exclaimed: “As for me, I am forsaken by God and men. Will God take an interest in such an s old good-for-nothing hag?’—The deportment of the people is be- d st coming more friendly in proportion as they become acquainted with Iy 1§ the Gospel. They vie with each other in putting us up for the night, or in offering us refreshments. The female portion have evine- phan ed a great desire to learn the tenets of the Gospel. Although the as Marumakkattayam (or Aliyasantana) laws (=heritage in the female hers line), which allow Malayalam (and Tulu) women more personal liberty s of than that, which the higher castes enjoy, may account in part for Were this conduct; yet it must be acknowledged that it is God’s Spirit, dren who begins to stir them up.

Through baptism and access from other places ati the principal and subordinate Congregations increased by 6 fhe only, numbering thus 842 souls. Of a larger number of Cate- 866 chumens only 14 were considered worthy of baptism. We yo1 have found, that adults must be so far advanced in their the knowledge and faith, that we can deal with them as with L) responsible agents.—Among the Neophites were 3 lepers. a3 When they were instructed, their guide Shantappa, a Canarese We Christian leper, came along of his own accord to assist in g making plain the instruction, in case of need. Great was their the and our joy, when they were baptized on the 23rd of January he 1883. They attend Church regularly in a separate place, g unmindful of the pains they have to endure when walking. feei They have a desire to grow in knowledge and read the Bible. ste: When they meet with any passage, they do not understand, ng they come and ask about it. One of them has entered in- thy to his rest. I 69 e A We may mention also that a youhg Mohammedan, named Abdul Rahiman, came in May. He went to Mangalore, where he was instructed and baptized on the 20th of October, when he received the name of Abraham. He visited our Anglo- Vernacular School from 1868 to 1879, during which time he became well acquainted with the Gospel. He wished to join us in 1879, when we had to refuse him admittance, owing to his being a minor. For this attempt he was punished at home and sent to the Government School. When he became of age and found the decisive moment had come, he obeyed the dictates of his conscience. May he be faithful unto the end. Calicut being a town of some importance, we suffer under W ..... various difficulties. Christians from all quarters, impatient to break asunder the bands and to cast away from them the cords of order and discipline, congregate here; most of the nage efforts to reclaim them are scorned and rejected.—The tempt- ations to, and the pleasures of vice such as a large town offers la o} by 0 them, prove detrimental to the unwary. Many, although they ale see the precipice yawn under their feet, turn a deaf ear to the We voice of entreaty and push back the arm stretched out to save their them.—For some time a Tamil Protestant Mission has been 4 working in the town, and such as hate instruction and shun ! a shepherd’s watchful eye, feel an inclination to join them.— jl[ v We consider it a great draw-back to the healthy develop- ment of a Church, that there are so many Christians, who after st 10 It must m‘]h their baptism take a delight in migratory habits. be admitted, that the embracing of Christianity entails with 1V many loss of home, relations, caste, friends etc., so that a v fin feeling of loneliness may take possession of an otherwise steady individual, especially when he has a difficulty in earn- ). | ing his livelihood. On the other hand it must be acknowledged and that some, though not all, oppose this inclination as they ought. | 1 More steadiness and settling in a place is a great desid‘eratum. 70 sl a8 The Out-station Coilandy is in charge of the Native Pastor, Mr. J. Jacobi. The Congregation numbers 58 church-members, tes or 4 more than in 1882. Avarice and dissension have now and then interfered with their healthy spiritual growth. stal The Girls’ Orphanage has been abolished, and 23 girls have been transferred to Chombala. the Mr. Knobloch reports: As chi This School was opened by the late Mrs. Fritz (born Kabele) in tra December 1845 and closed on the 3rd of January 1884, after an existence of nearly forty years. During that period between six to OWJ 84 seven hundred girls had the privilege of being educated here. Most of them have become fit helpmaties to their husbands, and mothers, 47 able to bring up their children. Although the progress was very gradual, yet, when we look back upon the cumulative progress, we have Slst reason to be thankful to God. At the same time we have to mention, The that we had from time to time the great mortification of seeing some Mic girls taking to bad courses, when it was not in our power either to Thi prevent their fall, or to rescue them from misery. The Orphanage was closed with a touching occurrence. ‘We had ()i to send FBithia, a sick little girl, about seven and a half years old, to the Hospital. She had always been a kind of a pet on account of Duj] her gentle ways; on her death-bed, however, she became still dearer to us. The nearer her end drew, the livelier her faith became. She Salc evinced much pleasure in prayer, and joyfully assured us, that Jesus Res loved her and that she loved Jesus—and, “Sir”, she observed shortly Prog before her departure to Mr. Knobloch, “I am so happy, that I am one of Jesus’ lambs”’. fea As long as the Girls’ Orphanage existed, the girls of the Sepa Congregation visited it as Day-scholars. Since it has been are closed, a new building for the Parochial Girls’ School has been erected. It was opened on the 27th of May, and has 94 girls, Sprg divided into four classes. In spite of a number of less gifted be ¢ girls, the School has earned a good Grant. There is also a class of five girls, who qualify themselves tiog 71 e B stor, as Schoolmistresses. Two of these have passed the prescribed hers, tests. 10W The Infants’ School has 15 boys and 18 giﬂs, or 33 in all. The Mixed Vernacular School at Coilandy was in a prosperous have state till the conversion of a young woman, who learned the Gospel through her intercourse with Christian women. As she remained firm, heathen parents feared to send their /e) 1 children, lest they should become alienated from their ances- tral religion. Besides this, 3 rival schools were opened. T al Ix 10 Owing to these occurrences the number of pupils sank from Most 84 to 60. Of these 13 are Christians (7 boys and 6 girls) and hers, 47 are heathen (45 boys and 2 girls). eIy The High-School is under the care of Mr. Frohnmeyer, as- have sisted by a staff of 17 Teachers, eight of whom are Christians. tion, There are 73 students in the High-School, 150 pupils in the some Middle-School and 186 in the Primary School, or 409 in all. er 10 This is the result of a natural and steady increase. The Primary School, which for some years had been ac- had commodated in an unsightly shed, has been removed into the old, building, hitherto occupied by the Girls’ Orphanage. at of The High-School and Middle-School are placed under the a1er Salary-grant system, whereas the Primary School enjoys the She Results-grant system. All the three divisions made good PRI progress, and the number of passed candidates is satisfactory. ortly As regards Biblical instruction, care is taken to adapt the 0ne teaching to the ability of the pupils, each class having its separate lessons. A spirit of enquiry is fostered, questions the are answered, doubts cleared up and objections refuted. jeel jeel It is with much concern we report, that drunkenness is spreading among students at Calicut. Last year onme had to il'lsi be dismissed, and since then our pupils fear detection. fted After an interval of four years we had an examina- tion and a distribution of prizes, kindly presided over by |yes - { 2 A.

Owing to small-pox, the hac examination was postponed till December 1883. Ma The Vernacular School at Putiyangidi, formerly in charge of des Mr. Jaus, is now under Mr. Frohnmeyer. i It is attended by 65 heathen boys and 5 heathen girls, or 70 in all. The pro- Sor gress made is satisfactory. ble the Lastly we have to mention two Sunday-Schools, one in Town, with 15 Christian children, and the other in Putiyarakal, Ing the attended by 52 heathen adults and children. Preaching to the heathen has been carried on more syste- matically, since Mr. Jaus can devote most of his time to this (al Th branch of labour. My. Jaus reports as follows: I travelled 103 days. The Native Itinerant Preacher, P. Jonas, ten #he; owing to sickness and three deaths in his family, could only spare the 146 days. Taken altogether the Missionaries (122) and Native e Assistants (389) spent 511 days in preaching. oth The work was carried on in the South of the Kurumbranadu Talug, shy where Mr. Wagner and Catechists joined to help us for some time. (U It was also carried on in the Calicut Taluq ; the Eranadu Talugq, how- hay ever, got only a very small share. We try to reach the hearts of the dog people by preaching at heathen festivals, markets and in bazaars, by $ing friendly conversations in house-visits and through portions of Seriptures and Tracts, which we, as well as our Colporteurs, take pains to an our diffuse. As regards heathen festivals, we find that the more they are deprived of their religious character, the more turbulent and noisy is the crowd, which colleets. In Coilandy-Collam one, and in Kirur two opposition preachers, students of Sanskrit, were competing with us for the attention of the people; the former by scoffing at, and grossly misrepresenting Christianity, the latter two by discharging volleys Lary of raillery and jest, till they were tired of doing so. InKannanshery and some bought cheap tracts, apparently with pleasure, which they tore be- eded fore our eyes, whilst we were preaching. More cheering it is to preach on weekly markets, but the most satisfactory work is being done About 7 to 8 miles East of Mis, during our visits from house to house. Calicut we were well received. Fever, small-pox and other sicknesses , the had softened the hearts of the people, so that they listened reverently. Many women, well up in their own Shastras, expressed an earnest oe of desire to know the Gospel. Our host, who had received us with He studies now the ¢ by much joy, was presented with a Bible. Seriptures. An old sickly Nayar, after having heard our message, o blessed us saying: “May God prosper you.” He considered, however, o, I the mere hearing of our words so meritorious, as to blot out his sins. He parted from us, giving us the advice to preach throughout dhal, the country, when a reformation would take place. Quite different was our reception about 10 miles North-east of ybte Calicut, where people had not seen a Missionary for several years. s They were actually afraid of us, and idle mischief-makers did what they could, to keep up the excitement. The priest of a Bhadrakali onas temple, for instance, fabricated lies calculated to strike terror into p&l’e the hearts of the already frightened villagers, to the effect, that at 176 we had come to kidnap women and girls, and were committing other horrible crimes. The consequence was, that some of them shut up their families in their houses, and received us at the hedges alu fme or mud-walls of their compounds. “What sins must these men how have committed in a former birth”, some exclaimed, “that they are fthe doomed to walk about in the heat of the sun, to atone for their 5,b sins!” - We stayed twelve days. Gradually the suspicion, aversion, fres and even the bitter spirit disappeared, so as to enable us to tell s 10 our hearers the .aim of our coming. fhey 1015y e with 055!} a‘l Il L 10 74 II.

Of these 238 live in Codacal, 99 in Parap- ment, pery, 20 in Malapuram, 11 in Manchery and 8 in Nilambur. The above access is due partly to the baptism of 13 heathen (5 adults and 8 children), partly to an excess of births over deaths and other causes. The newly baptized belong to two families. Mr. Kiihnle characterizes them as follows: their In one of these families tine wife took the lead. Sickness and ‘When she starvation had ripened in her the resolution to join us. ish l presented herself with her children, famished and sickly, and asked fily for admittance, we had not the courage to send her away.

From all we see, we hope that we will not 61ng be disappointed. There is, however, another family, where the man has been pork the prime mover. Although he is in humbler circumstances, his story will offer some points of interest. Karuppan belongs to the Tiyan or Toddy-drawer caste. He was born near Codacal, where he had heard the Word of God for many a year in his own house, on markets, and in the Church. The quarrel and noise, ensuing at the burial of one of his friends, disgust- ‘When the ed him so much, that he purposed becoming a Christian. effects of the famine made themselves felt, he went to the Wynaad in 1877 to earn his livelihood as sawyer. He returned with a good sum of money, but also with a mind considerably estranged from God, living more after the manner of the heathen than before. About that time he was falsely accused of being privy to a cattle lifting party. ‘When in prison his conscience awoke, accused him of the bad life he had led in the Wynaad, and blamed him for his keeping aloof from the Christians. He resolved to confess Christ. When, however, he was found guiltless and released, the outward relief made him forget his vow till a dangerous disease, which laid him prostrate 9;‘, for three months, roused him up again. Given up by the Hakirps, and 10% 76 Lhibisd bl scourged by his conscience, he felt damned by the law and most il miserable. He began to cry to God from his heart, but no answer thr nor relief was granted, on the contrary the sickness made head. In Sel this extremity he called for one of the Catechists. When he had come, gn he felt nearly too weak to state his case. The Catechist prayed with him. The Lord heard his petition and blessed the means employed W for his recovery. He was baptized on Whitsunday with his wife the and four children. He gives us the impression, that he 1s a steady m and a reformed character. Concerning the spiritual state of this Congregation we are glad to acknowledge, that there are some who prosper, whereas again there are others, who betray that they labour and are heavy laden and have not yet found rest. Of these we have reason to fear, that some unconfessed and unpardoned sin weighs still heavy on their minds. The means of livelihood are very scanty. We are there- fore thankful that the Weaving Establishment has been enlarged, and can employ more hands than before. It is a branch- business of the Weaving Establishment at Calicut and under the supervision of Mr. Elsdisser. The Parochial School has 27 Christian girls, and 20 Christian and 3 heathen boys, making 50 in all. This being a rural district, it is difficult to get the school-fees and to secure regular attendance. Taken altogether, Teachers and pupils have done well. The Boys’ Orphanage at Parappéry has been enlarged to accommodate better the boys, sent the previous year from the Iny Tellicherry Orphanage. There are now 29 Christian and 3 heathen boys. Beside these, 3 Christian and 2 heathen boys and 6 Christian girls attend as Day-scholars, making 43 in all Some of these orphans, when we take them on, especially when heathen, are so neglected, stunted and emaciated, that, despite careful nursing and medical attendance, they do not 77 e It is thus we lost three boys most improve but succumb at last.

We found heathen Schoolmasters, in whose schools the Gospels and other portions of Scripture are the Readers. Among intelligent men we met such, as tried hard to identify Christ with Vishnu’s avatir as Krishna. Others demand of us to accept their Gods along with Christ. A large number wish us to relent in our demand of their publicly confessing Christ, pretending it was enough to ac- knowledge Christ’s priority and supremacy in one’s heart. At any rate the service of Demons as well as of the Ancestors, Atheism and Materialism, and various other shapes of superstition, are no mean enemies to contend with. Christ, who has led captivity captive, will overcome also\those enemies.

At Sholar a School 10se, was opened this year, accompanied with the usual difficulties. ought The These are Day-Schools; some serve also as Night-Schools. igiouS distance from head-quarters is from 3 to 14 miles.

During the year he collected the different teachers for instruction to qualify qch & them better for their work. There were 10 monthly meetings s for and a general yearly meeting for that purpose. Mr. Miiller reports further: omen We had two additional Schools opened, the one at Adhikarhatti meal. on the 23rd of May, and the other at Manihatti on the 20th of August this year. The School-houses had been built by the Badagas them- ati0D with selves. In Adhikarhatii a room above a stable for calves, with a owly “Tola” behind, had been used.

In the past year a young Badaga joined this little Church. e for My. Hermelink gives the following description of his con- ) Ba version : 008y, Tea. Hiria, the son of one of the richest and most influential men in b {he the neighbourhood of Milidane, joined uson the 4th of August. His 120 relations, having got a hint of his intention, waylaid him near cur compound. He barely escaped from their hands, and the door of the house being closed at the time, he jumped in at an open window, ex- claiming: “Give me shelter! I am pursued.” I hadscarcely time to show him into a small room, when a large crowd pressed into our dining-room, the women screaming, tearing their hair and beating their breasts. As the numbers and their boisterousness increased, I sent for the Police. Instead of getting, however, any help, the Head-Con- stable showed some scrap of paper, which he pretended was a com- plaint, charging Hiria with the abstraction of money and jewels, and asking me to deliver him up. I was on the point of telegraphing to the Superintendent of Police in Ootacamund, when the Head-Constable showed himself satisfied with taking the deposition of the young man The next day, Sunday, there was a large concourse of men and women, Hiria’s two grandmothers, his mother, mother-in-law, wife and child, and many other relations, about 500 in number. An English gentleman, a friend of ours, helped me to pacify them and to send them home, thus enabling us to hold Divine Service. The ensu- ing week Hiria was beset daily by the most pressing invitations, ac- companied by ecajolings and threatenings, tears and other signs of grief. He stood firm, but was in danger of becoming weak through the influence of the bad example of a young friend. The same had set out with him to embrace Christianity, yet he could not withstand { this the entreaties of his family, but left us and was received back into greh his caste again. As Hiria had a good seriptural knowledge, he was baptized on the 12th of August, on which day not a single Badaga md&) i I came to our place of worship. onlf 86 188 The spiritual life in Joseph Hiria began whilst he visited Miss Cockburn’s school, where the Rev. Mr. Biihrer gave Bible Lessons. U8 fo His parents did not like him to take pleasure in reading the Bible. To counteract it, they sent him to a school without religious instruc- tion, and got him married when quite young. He returned, hqwever, muk again to our School at Kotargiri to learn Canarese. (un He hath forsaken much for Christ’s sake. May he take comfort in Luke 18. 29-30: “Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath ias left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the king- dom of God’s sake, who shall not receive manifold more in this Fag present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.” (0 fo The Orphanage for Girls has gone down from 17 to 12, three having been claimed by their guardians and two running off. The example set by the latter gave rise to a spirit of insub- the] ordination, several girls, when punished, threatening to run off too. A girl, chastised for opening and eating things on the sly and lying, ran off. She was brought back since by the Police. The former spirit of order seems to have returned. In connexion with this Orphanage there is a Day-School attended by 20 heathen and 18 Christian boys, and 1 heathen and 6 Christian girls, making 57 in all. Owing to the above men- tioned conversion, all the Badaga boys, about twenty, left us. Concerning the Vernacular Schools for Badaga Boys we have to observe, that since Hiria joined us, the Badagas are afraid of sending their children to any school, be it even under Govern- ment, declaring that, as they fared pretty well without a school in their day, their children might do so also. As regards the Kannerimuku School, we were at one time afraid of having to close it temporarily, owing to the general excitement. It has 15 boys. The School in Naduhatti, with 19 boys, had a quiet time. There are some sensible Badagas, who take an interest in education and built a substantial School-house (see Report 87 LSS Miss 1882, p. T5). Shortly after Hiria’s conversion they invited 55008, us to come with our Christian children and Native Assistants Bible. to have a public festivity for the opening of the new building. sfrue There are now three Day-Schools in Kotargiri, Kanneri- evet, muku and Naduhatti, and four Night-Schools in Sullugudu, Gundhada, Kannerimuku and Naduhatti. ort In hath Itinerancy.

Originally appointed for Cannanore, hett he was sent on to Calicut to assist Mr. Fritz after Mr. Huber had de- and parted for Europe. In February 1859 he was transferred to Into Tellicherry to assistin the newly opened English School, and in 1857, form after having been married to a Miss Kegler, he removed to Chiracal, land near Cannanore, in order to take charge of the Girls’ Orphanage there. He and his family retired in September 1858 to Tellicherry with for a change, and were afterwards stationed at Almanda in Coorg. 184 From there he went for his health to the Hills, and after a stay of her some months left for Europe. ‘When his health was sufficiently re- stored he set out for South-America, where he was Pastor in a colony (T ) of German settlers till 1874.

Ihere Mission-house at Basel, and after a study of 4. years he proceeded the i to India, in October 1839, round the Cape, the Overland-route being Qegiy then unknown. He reached Tellicherry in March 1840, where he Coly had the benefit of studying Malayalam under Dr. Gundert’s gui- ing t dance, and of being gradually inured to the charge of the Boys’ intey Orphanage and the superintendence of the Vernacular Schools. On Penty the 13th of May 1842 he left Tellicherry to establish the Mission at Calicut. Setf 89 el After his arrival he directed his attention first to preaching and to school-work among the heathen population. He further collected the Evangelical Tamil Christians, who were quite left to themselves, s have for Divine Service, and ministered also to the spiritual wants of the English community, who had then no other locality for meeting bug the Cutcherry. He met with much sympathy in his work among the oriy i Gentry. Foremost was the Collector H. V. Conolly Esq., M. c.s., in the who not only supplied him with the means to work a number of Ver- galore nacular Schools with upwards of 200 pupils, but who, in order to 1AN0LE, better the condition of the Nayadis, a caste of “beggars by birth ad de- and trade’’, had them collected at Codacal, 32 miles South of Calicut red fo into a eolony, and in 1843 gave to the Mission, for the purpose of 1857, forming them into an agricultural colony, a large piece of waste iracal, land with a few rice-fields. 130850 In 1844, the conversion of an astrologer (Kanishan or Panikar) cherty with his wife caused a stir among the heathen. Mr. Fritz was married Coorg: 1845 at Mangalore to Miss Marg. Julie Kewbele, who shortly after stay of her arrival in Calicut opened in December an Orphanage for Girls. fly 1é- (This institution was begun with seven girls and after having educat- colony ed between 600 and 700 orphans, was closed on the 1st of January ountty 1883). Alms were distributed weekly to about 150 poor, “assembled nfon of to receive the charity of the residents’’ when they were made acquaint- ed with the Gospel. As no caste is kept in our Churches, a number of Tamil Christians separated, but observes the Report, “we would ), B8 [ission- not give place to their caste-prejudices’’. The work kept on increasing. Several most pressing wants weyre felt. First there existed no Malayalam School-books. Then in the ol the there being a number of Christians, who had left their caste, without ceeded the means of earning their livelihood, colonies for Christians seemed desirable. With a view to accomplish this desire the colony at i bemg 110 e Coilandy-Collam, 19 miles North of Calicut, was begun. Concern- “Wo g glli' ing the rising generation we read in the Report for 1846: intend to teach some of our boys and young men the trades of car- ) BO.‘(S’ penters and smiths, and a friend has suggested to us the plan of g, O Yission setting up a small paper-manufactory for the same purpose”.

The number of orphan-girls having increased, he was Gov obliged in 1847 to build an Orphanage. “«Some {friends of the was Mission have very generously given us contributions for this Ser School.” There was also a spiritual awakening in 1847, which spread from Cannanore and Tellicherry. A new spiritual life seemed of £ to spring up in the Congregation. Also some Tamil families, who the keep up caste, returned. “No peace, no truce with the spirit of caste! has been the watchword of the brethren’” (Fritz and Huber), eaf says the Report for 1849. In 1850 we find one Anglo-Vernacular Spi and eleven Vernacular Schools, with 305 boys and 20 girls (Coilandy of 4, Patiyangadi, 1 Elattur 1, Puttur 1, Calicut 3 Malayalam Schools the and 1 Tamil School). .

Many being poor, the Report remarks that “the Shay fields at Codacal and Coilandy provide occupation for the indigent.” first As regards the sentiment of some sections of the population, the Re- yarg port continues that “Publicpreaching in the streets of Calicut is ren- Wag dered almost impossible from the fanaticism of the Mappilas.

In the same year Mr. Convert arrived to assist in chools the Clerical Department. Mr. Bosshard built a Mission-house at Codacal to superintend that colony.

It was closed in 1866 and reopened in o0 L 1867. The Vernacular Schools were closed in order to work them ol o on a better plan. f0 fhe 12% 92 (b L In 1867 an internal storm threatened to split up the Congregation. Pror s o A Church-member, accused of adultery, was acquitted by the Pres- dreg bytery. A party, taking umbrage, went to law and even appealed fo without bringing home the guilt. This was a source of great grief. 1n At the end of September 1867 Mr. Fritz removed to Cannanore. 188 We find in the Report of that year 1867, p. 60: “The most telling event upon this Station was the departure of dear Mr. Fritz, who was removed to Cannanore by order of the Committee. hee It was indeed painful to the Congregation, which had been gathered foun in by him, as well as to his follow-labourers, to see our aged and i 188 experienced brother, the Senior of our Malabar Mission and the of founder of this Station (Calicut), taking up his travelling staff and 1ng ] leaving the place, where the Lord had during a quarter of a century ed richly blessed his labours, and which also was doubly endeared to Patt him by the trials he had sustained, and by its being the resting- place of his dear ones.” cour It was natural that he should feel home-sick after his old field Cong of labour. Whilst in Cannanore he superintended our Malabar 2ree Distriet. Besides this he was also the President of our whole agal Indian Mission, and the Chairman of the Editing Committee of our Chat Malabar Mission and of the Malayilam Bible Revision Committee. Book Already in 1876 there were signs admonishing our brother to Trag retire. Had he done so, his life, humanly speaking, might have We . been prolonged. He preferred, however, to stay on, considering hag | himself morally bound. A trial on the Hills to restore his health proved of no avail. Broken in body and mind he left India in March 1880, for Europe. He put up in Strassburg. At first it seemed he would derive benefit from the climate, especially from walks; but giddiness and fainting fits coming on more and more repeatedly, he had to keep at home. A stay at a cold water- bath and later on a change of air to Aubore in the Vosges in 1881 seemed to improve his sleep and appetite, but his complaint, ossifi- cation of the heart, made steady progress. In 1882 he had a fit of apoplexy, and shortly afterwards an attack of inflammation of th? lungs. He recovered, but his right side was affected. ety 93 ation, From that time he was mnearly speechless. He led 'a sort of a Pres- dreamy life with occasional clear moments. It was most affecting ealed to see the ruins of a former bright life. He had to keep mostly grief in bed, till the Lord released him at noon on the 8th of December An0res 1883, aged 68 years and 6 months. We cannot look back, without pleasure, on the time when our ure of dear Brother was in the prime of life. Apart from the influcrces nittes, he exercised on the Mission Stations at Calicut and Codacal, whose hered founder he was, we have to say a few words on his influence on the Mission of the Malabar District. d and His common sense and sobriety 10 the of judgment kept him from going beyond his depth and enfer- f and ing into difficulties.

Although he en- couraged agriculture and industry to give more consistency to the ] field Congregation, he at the same time led on his Church by gradual de- alabar grees to be self-reliant. He advocated this principle. He was dead whole against casto and the hair-lock, the badge of caste-keeping men.
