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

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

,

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.

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.

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

hitherto been the case.

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

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

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.

Mr. Liebendﬁrfeo‘, who had temporarily assisted in the

Seminary, left for Furope in March 1883. 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.

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

There are such, who instead of screening sin urge

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

misunderstand evangelic liberty from sin, hell and devil

as a kind of Libertinism.

Be it they, or any others, who

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,

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.

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

The Catechists’ Seminary, in which the Assistant Catechists,

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

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

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

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.

Myr. F. Mutthissen, have been published.

The Canarese Monthly Illustrated Journal “Kreista Sabha-

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

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

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

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

at such and such a heathen festival, will not appease our

The new burial ground has been consecrated on account

Subbaraya is about 40 years old.

He lost his mother when young

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

the Christian books which Christananda, his brother, had brought,

It was, however, difficult to put into practice the conviction of his

heart, which caused him a good deal of annoyance and personal dis-

He was greatly assisted by his wife Padmavati, the

that his secreams were heard in the bazaar, more than a mile off.

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

Padmavati was warned by her mother to

His father, who was a Sepoy in a Rajput Regiment under Hy-

Balaram was born in Conjevaram, South Arcot, and accompanied his

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,

however, from which he had recovered, strengthened his resolution.

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

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.

On the third day he

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

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,

convinced her, that Balaram being an upright and earnest man, had

drew the signatures they had already given in support of the

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.

We have been anxious to open a School in the Bazaar

and hope to succeed by and by.

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.

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.

Instead of the Gurls’ Orphanage We established an Orphanage

for Boys.

The inmates came partly from Hubly (on the 2nd of

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

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.

Venkata Swami, a Vaishnava Brahmin, born 1861 in Tirupati

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

schooling in Tirupati he entered the Public Works Department, but

by

left it, when he was transferred to a place, where he could not per-

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

forth the goal of his life.

He set out for Shrirangapattana

(Seringapatam) where the feast of the famous Ranganayaka or

he

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

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-

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

In all his wanderings, which extended from

Madras to Bombay, he had opportunities to hear the Gospel preached

by Evangelical Missionaries.

Although they belonged to different

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.

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.

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

had commenced, he thought he was bound to perform the pilgrimage.

When he heard the power of Subrahmanya praised so highly, he began

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.

During that period between six to

The Mixed Vernacular School at Coilandy was in a prosperous

the Gospel through her intercourse with Christian women.

As she remained firm, heathen parents feared to send their

Besides this, 3 rival schools were opened.

It was also carried on in the Calicut Taluq ; the Eranadu Talugq, how-

We try to reach the hearts of the

As regards heathen festivals, we find that the more they

is the crowd, which colleets.

They were actually afraid of us, and idle mischief-makers did what

they could, to keep up the excitement. The priest of a Bhadrakali

The Congregation has had an increase of 22 souls, and

numbers now 376.

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:

presented herself with her children, famished and sickly, and asked

The woman rejoiced us both through

the Bible read to her.

From all we see, we hope that we will not

be disappointed.

There is, however, another family, where the man has been

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.

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-

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

for three months, roused him up again. Given up by the Hakirps, and

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.

ceived 149 days.

The Ponnani Taluq came in for a share of 41

days.

All along we have tried to systematically cultivate the dif-

gtian

ferent portions of the field before us.

Tor this reason markets and

able

heathen festivals, except those of more importance, were only

visited when convenient.

Thus the heathen festivals in Kalpatti,

During the past year we came across different kinds of people.

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.

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

came to our place of worship.

The spiritual life in Joseph Hiria began whilst he visited Miss

Cockburn’s school, where the Rev. Mr. Biihrer gave Bible Lessons.

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.

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

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

At the end of September 1867 Mr. Fritz removed to Cannanore.

We find in the Report of that year 1867, p. 60:

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

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.

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

to see the ruins of a former bright life.

He had to keep mostly

in bed, till the Lord released him at noon on the 8th of December

1883, aged 68 years and 6 months.

We cannot look back, without pleasure, on the time when our
