in the arrangement of #4is year’s Report.

In the first part, headed ‘“Report’,

we give under different heads a Swmmary of the whole Mission work. Our

second part contains the chief points of interest in eac’ station which,

although uninteresting to the general reader, will be appreciated by others

on account of its Jocal character.

Then follows the Obituary, and lastly in

|1

a short Appendix will be found a condensed account of the visit by ke

Deputation, whom our Beloved Basel German Evangelical Mission Committee

sent into our midst.

S

ROthat build it:

except the Lord keep the city, the watch-

@man waketh but in vain”. Psalm 127, 1

So we too

must exclaim, when we look back to the various branches of

}

the work which the Lord has been pleased to entrust to our

care, and in which we have to state step by step His unde-

(¢

served help and intercession in our behalf, in time of need.

I

And whilst we humbly crave: “Enter not into judgment with

thy servants, O Lord: for in Thy sight shall no man living

al

be justified,” Psalm 143, 2, we desire to praise His mercy

g

with the Psalmist (106, 1) saying: “Praise ye the Lord.

th

O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good: for His mercy

endureth for ever.”

Amen.

Let us proceed now in reviewing the work of the past year.

dis

I. The Native Church.

In

We had as many as 601 baptisms of Heathen converts

W

and Christian children, and re-admitted 28 persons into church-

Chy

membership, making 629 souls in all.

From this sum we

ey

have to deduct 238 dead and 77 excluded, or 315 persons, so

apt

that we should have closed the year with an excess of 314

Wit}

persons, or thereabout.

Instead of this, however, the total

o ]

numerical increase amounts to only 154 persons, raising the

number of our Christians to 9391 souls.

It is not always

10y

easy to account for a slight falling off in numbers, but this

p&im

P SRS S

%

year’s deficiency is so glaring that we must enquire into

the reason.

Secession of a number of our South-Mahratta Christians

to the S. P. G. Mission.

We have spoken in our last Report of the disaffection

of certain persons in our Souih-Mahratta congregations at

Dharwar, Hubli and Betigeri in the Dharwar Collectorate,

mostly caused by the exercise of church-discipline.

The clan-

nish spirit, which has taken the place of caste, shows itself so

strongly among these people, that the relations often identify

)i

themselves with the guilty person.

Thus it happened that,

I

owing to a case of discipline, a number of men in the Hubli

congregation, resenting correction, seceded from us in 1887,

They steadily rejected friendly advice and only persisted the

more in their inimical attitude.

h

Encouraged by some dis-

affected persons of our Dharwar congregation, they in the be-

3

)

ginning of 1888 desired the Chaplain of Dharwar to receive

rd

them into the Church of England. That gentleman lent them

a willing ear, and greatly encouraged their obstinacy by in-

0

structing them for two months and interesting the Bishop of

Bombay in their behalf, who received them and some of our

9l

disaffected Dharwar Christians into the Church of England.

In our Betigeri Congregation a case of church-government

was accompanied by similar effects.

1S

Two Presbyters or

Church-wardens, who were not fully qualified for their office,

lbh

7o

were forced to resign.

They revenged themselves by forming

a party and, on leaving us, wrote a most spiteful letter. They,

, S0

14

with about fifty adherents, were also admitted into the Church

5

fotal

of England.

We need not say that we feel deeply wounded at the way,

4 ﬂle

in which an inroad was made into owur Church.

We feel

OO

; th'ls

pained whenever and wherever the Church of Rome ac-

Ll o

8

cepts, or allures transgressors or others, who will not sub-

mit to the Word of God and to the scriptural rules of our

Church, but we feel deeply wounded and distressed, when

personages occupying a prominent position in an Evangelical

Church,—which we highly respect, and with many of whose

members we have laboured in brotherly harmony and love for

a number of years*—frustrate order and church-discipline,

encourage worldly-mindedness, disorder, drunkenness and

other heinous sins, breed a spirit of rebellion and opposition,

disgrace the name of Christian, hinder the coming of the

Kingdom of God, and break into the fold of the Lord, which

He himself, the Arch-shepherd, has entrusted to us.

We must solemnly protest against such a violation of

true Christian and Missionary comity.

The unfair manner, in which we have been dealt with,

i

will stand forth in a glaring light, when held against the

service which a number of our Missionaries have been in the

habit of rendering to the Church of England for more than

half a century.

This was rendered mnot only as a small

tribute of the gratitude we owe to a noble nation, under

It

whose rule we are carrying on our work without let or

hindrance, but also because, as Missionaries who trust to

:

have imbibed the spirit of St. Paul, we consider ourselves

il

10

in duty bound to preach the Gospel to Jews and Greek, to

Christians and Heathen.

In doing this we act merely as

QSI

friendly, brotherly helpers of the Church of England, nay

iy

rather to the Church of Christ in places where English

]m]

Christians are devoid of the means of grace, or where we are

the slightest attempt at incorporating them into our Mission-

Church, till they can be handed over again to their natural

and lawful guides—an attempt we had the satisfaction of

seeing thankfully acknowledged now and then by His Grace,

the Lord Bishop of Madras, and by a number of chaplains.

May now also at this late hour justice be done to us on

the part of those who have encouraged seceders by helping

them to return to us, who have been the means of leading

y

them to the Lord in many ways.

May those who so bare-

facedly have wronged us and themselves, become sober, for-

sake their gall and bitterness, and make their peace with God

cannot—we are afraid—be fully avoided, yet it is highly

desirable that such convulsions and paroxysms be attended

to in time. In the past year we had to encounter this spirit

of discontent here and there.

We sincerely desire that the

Lord may give all a thankful heart, cure suspicion and restore

confidence and harmony.

May He grant to those, who have

been wronged, grace to forgive for Christ’s sake, and not be-

come tired in well-doing.

We eagerly look forward to see men and women join our

Churches who have experienced the regenerating power of the

Lord, and who have the courage to boldly confess Christ.

II. Educational Department.

The Mission supports two kinds of schools. The one solely

for the members of our Congregations and the other for the

Non-christian population, among whom we labour. In both

the chief attention is devoted to religious instruction and, of

late years, special attention has been paid to their efficiency.

i

Schools for Christians.—DBeginning with those most

important for Mission-work, we have first to mention our

Catechists’ or Theological Seminary at Mangalore, in which the

young men of our whole Mission are educated for the Church.

This institution draws its pupils from the Preparandi-Schools

Then follow the Schools for the Congregation, consisting in (4)

As to our United Seminary which has existed now for fully

twenty-five years in Mangalore, we greatly appreciate the

{

advantage accruing from the common education of all our

€1

Native Pastors and Catechists.

As we, however, are obliged

by

11

to teach them Theology in #fwo Vernaculars, one of which has

to be learned by them with the loss of much time, we feel

this disadvantage so much, that we have been considering the

advisability of having #wo separate Thological Institutions in

which only one Vernacular is spoken, ¢. e. a Canarese one in

Mangalore, and a Malayalam one in Tellicherry. This gave

rise to a Special Conference mentioned on page 36 of last

year’s Report, which has been followed up by various District

Meetings in the beginning of 1889, in which under the presi-

dentship of our respected Principal, the Rev. Th. Oehler, this

question has been freely ventilated. The gain of something

like a year in the studies of our young men by letting drop

a foreign Vernacular language, will enable them to cultivate

English better, and us to raise the standard of those who

intend qualifying themselves for the clerical and educational

calling. The longer our experience, the more we find that

the candidates applying from our English Schools are defi-

cient in the religious element, which ought to be the strongest

point in a Preacher or Teacher, and therefore we are aiming

at supplying a higher Christian education.

I1II. Evangelization.

As preaching the Gospel to the heathen ought to be the

chief aim of an Fvangelical Missionary Society, we pay great

attention to it, and employ all available European and Native

agents in FHvangelization.

We are thankful for the amount

of work done in Town and Country during the past year.

Yet, although we are unable to gauge the probable number

of persons, who may have heard the Gospel, we are fully con-

vinced that their numbers could be greatly swelled, if time

was better hushanded, and all the different obstacles were

more manfully fought against.

This branch of work offers many hardships. Did we follow

merely high-ways and rail-roads, we should keep silent, but

by-ways, foot-paths and even bridle-tracks being the ways on

which the Gospel has to be carried, the bodily discomfort is

But it is not this we dread.

often very great.

It is the great

spiritual strain and in many instances the comparative daily

monotony of the work. Let us picture to ourselves an Evan-

gelist who preaches to ignorant Plantation-Coolies in some

forty or fifty plantations.

The limited range of thought of

these ignorant men and women necessitates his adapting his

preaching in each plantation to their poor understanding, and

repeating himself over and over again, for weeks and months

together.

How great is the danger of his becoming a babbler!

Take another preacher, and accompany him into up-country-

6

and jungle-places among people of primitive ideas, where his

message has either never been heard, or where it has fallen

into abeyance; or let us stand with him in one of the many

markets or bazaars in the midst of a motley crowd whose

chief motto and care is: «“Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow

we die”, and you will find that, as he is obliged to keep him-

self within the boundary-line of the thoughts of an apathetic

14

S

audience, the danger of his speaking without unction and

becoming a professional talker is very great.

Church. It is evident that not any or every body is fit for

this momentous work, and that our itinerating Brethren stand

greatly in meed of the sustaining prayers of the Church,

k

for which we would plead.

There are however more powerful hindrances at work,

L

of the preachers and to make their words die on their lips.

We all know how much Evangelists suffered under this drastic

treatment.

The hope of the Hindus of silencing thus the

preaching of the Gospel having proved abortive, the educated

ones began to take recourse to the missiles of slander, ridicule

and calumny, and the uneducated ones to practise rude inter-

ference to beat off the preachers of the cross.

Mr. Walz, of

DBetigert, describes the situation as follows:

“There existed in former years ‘Literary societies’, when lectures

were weekly read and discussions followed, but religion was carefully

kept out. It wasthen thought possible to treat the Christian religion

as if it did not ewist at all.

Since those days the situation has

materially changed. People have found out, that the Christian

religion has not only attempted to invade, but to conguer India by

influencing deeply the religious and social life of the Hindas, and by

g

threatening to remould it.

This called for a change of front and

tacties.

Non-christian India became alarmed; Hindu society, . e.

})

the Brahmanical world was shaken to its foundation, and “fight against

With feverish haste Clubs and

h

Christianity” became the war-cry.

Unions were got up, Newspapers and Pamphlets were published,

J

learned men were sent to alarm the different strata of society,

especially those most threatened, in order to encounter the aggression

with a well equipped force.

d

“The articles met with in different newspapers wear a different

or

character; some rail and inveigh against Christianity, others are

education, and call in wailing accents to the rescue.

There are also

e

articles which treat of the religious activity in Europe.

They say,

that, whereas the Christian truth is attacked there, others equal in

learning defend it with great ability.

With us, they go on to say,

the Arya Samaj and other societies try to support the ancestral

16

b

imitate Missionaries in teaching the young, and so on, in order to

regain ground lost and finally drive them out of India

!’7

These new tactics we find being tried here and there as if

by one consent.

My. Strobel, of Tellicherry, records that:

The half educated, who like butterflies have alighted on the

different flowers of science and sucked some of the honey here and

there, but especially those among them, who have been in Mission

Schools, take a delight in attacking Christianity.

writings of a Muhammedan and a Brahman are their favourite text-

books for attacking the preacher.

Mr. Warth, of Bijapur, has come across :

Government Village-Schoolmasters, who resist the preaching of

the Gospel and the sale of Bibles and Tracts in the villages; there

are also Policemen who think it fashionable to revile the religion of

their Masters.

Of late young men, plucked at their examinations,

but of a loquacious turn of mind, travel up and down, country, abuse

Christianity, and preach old and new inventions to save Hinduism.

E

Mr. Kanaka, of Kotagiri, mentions that:

On the occasion of one of the funeral festivities of the Badagas

a Village-Teacher of the District-Board, took delight in giving those,

i

who were assembled, the contents of a small tract published by the

Madras Hindu Tract Society, and entitled ‘“Jesus is but a Man”, but

0]

when he (Mr. K.) began to refute his statements he slowly went away.

And lastly we have to mention a champion of Hinduism

whom Mr. Dilger had an opportunity of hearing at Palghaut,

Col. Olcott, who considers himself the reviver of the national

G

religion of India.

j

The Colonel attempted to shew that not God but man’s spirit is to

be our chief aim.

In spite of the many hundreds of castes and caste-

)

prejudices obtaining among Hindus, he expatiated on the Brotherhood

by

of the Hindus, and wound up by saying that, through his teaching of

i

Theosophy, he has saved the Hindus from the hands of the cruel

G

Missionaries.

What a wonderful Samaritan!

It

17

et e

Hindwism and Demonism have, however, other weapons

offensive or defensive, which are set at work. Either a large

kettle-drum, as Mr. Mdnner of Mangalore tells us, is brought

during a heathen festival, and beaten in front of the preaching

party to drown their pleading voice; or, as Mr. Keppler of

Mulky reports of a heathen festival of the Konkani caste:

“We were abused in words so utterly vile, that to repeat them

would be a prostitution of speech—; dreadful howls were set up by

an idle, fanatical erowd from time to time, and stones, the rind of

Jack-fruit, and other offensive things were flung at us.”

Mr. Dilger, of Palghaut, reports:

“That it looked as if the evil inclined in Kalpatii should have it

all their own way during the festival this year, and as if we were

not to preach to them at all.

Venkatagiri Shdstri, a well known, old

f

rival preacher, began to mock us this time by ealling out that, if we

are not literally transplanting mountains, our faith was an imposture.

His chief argument, however, was a never-ending jackal-like howl

we could not get an opportunity for any reply or argument.

This

5

went on for two days.

On the third day, however, a wheel of the

€y

huge idol-car broke, the car capsized, and the idol’s arms were

16

broken. This put a stop to their revilings. A Brahman confessed to

ot

our Catechists, that this was the punishment for the vile treatment

we had received at the hands of his fellow-Brahmans.”

May the Lord endue our Evangelists with the panoply of

Dissatisfaction with paternal ways.

Some of our Palghaut Catechists had one day reached a

Brahman village, and were surrounded by a number of young

Brahmans,

“When an elderly Brahman stepped forward and, for fear of being

understood and reviled, told us in Canarese, that he had made

several pilgrimages, and visited all the renowned bathing places of

the Hindoos, but to no effect.

He had been listening gladly to the

preaching of the Missionaries in those places of pilgrimage, and be-

lieves, that there is nowhere salvation except with Christ.

He went

I:j

on to say: “I am, however, tied by so many family-ties, that I cannot

follow up my convietion.”

I

Some time later we met a Nayar.

This man had such a

oI

desire to be saved, that he had made three pilgrimages to

Benares, and other places, but to no purpose.

He said:

“I expected to obtain salvation and peace, but am sadly disap-

I have come to know, that Christianity alone can satisfy

Our itinerating preacher Nathanael Arukandan came

gy

across a young man, who was anxious to unburden his mind

to him.

His confession runs as follows:

-

resisted the impressions made by the Word of God, and openly opposed

the teachers. I could not bear to hear the name of Jesus. Some years

later I came in contact with Mappillas (Muhammedans) who, although

they reviled the Christians, spoke most reverently of Jesus, a fact

which surprised me. About that time I made the acquaintance of some

Hindus, well read in their Shastras.

The fact, that the one spoke of

i

the necessity of a prophet, and the other of the necessity of an in-

carnation, made me think more highly of Jesus. I begantoread the

Bible.

4

The longer I read, the more I felt drawn to Jesus, and in

proportion felt greatly distressed at having gainsaid the truth, and

i\

ridiculed Jesus on former ocecasions.

I now began to speak in favor

0f

of the Christian religion to my friends.

My father, on hearing this,

reviled Christianity, whenever he could.

1 felt this unbearable, and

in all reverence, showed him his wrong, when he at last told me, that

a person who is outwardly a Hinda may believe the Christian religion ;

to

‘change of caste, however, was not necessary.

Some time after I

married a girl from a poor family, in the hope of bringing her over

)

to my way of thinking. Though she was willing, her relatives inter-

of

fered continually.

I sent her to a Christian woman to learn to Sew,

nd

but all the women of the house protested against her going to the

house of persons of another religion, and I was forced to keep her

at home.

Iy

I then began to teach her at night to read and to write,

when all the women intimidated her, saying: ‘Shame upon you! We

hat

had not the courage to talk to our husbands before we had born them

the first child. You, however, sit already up now with your husband,

all

and talk about all kinds of things.’ Ihad to drop also this instruetion,

inee

and run the gauntlet daily, for whenever anything goes wrong in the

house, it is owing to my keeping the women from performing certain

1nt0

ceremonies.

My father is angry with me, and fears I might become

a Christian one day.

I know that there is no rest for me, except I

be baptized, and become a member in the body of Christ.

‘What am

IV. Bible-women.

Through the liberality of the Commitiee of the British and

Foreign Bible Society in London we have been enabled to

employ 20 Bible-women, viz:

2 in South-Mahratta, 14 in

Malabar, and 4 in Canara.

We desire to tender our sincerest

thanks to them for this valuable agency. As the room allotted

to this branch is but small, our extracts must be very short.

All the reports we have seen agree, that the task undertaken

by the Bible-women is a very difficult one, which tells on their

health, especially when they are engaged for the whole day.

Guledgud. Mrs. Knittel writes, that the two Bible-women are

those, who take the glad tidings of Jesus as a welcome interruption

in their monotonous life.

Some women think they cannot learn to

read, and see no use in trying to do so.

Cannanore.

Mrs. Weismann says, that the women are well

received.

Often the men invite the females to listen to us, instead

of attending to useless chat.

Whilst the cholera epidemic raged,

our Bible-women were welcome, and their prayers appreciated by

those stricken with the disease.

Women often ask them to pray for

a sick child.

Chovva.

Mrs. Ostermeyer states, that the women of all castes,

the Brahmans excepted, are not on a footing of equality with their

a

husbands, but considered the servants to their masters, and have

f

often to put up with rough ¢reatment.

Is it a wonder that they

sigh: “How can we get rid of our fetters? Ill-treatment is our lot in

this, and punishment in the world to come!!”

Tellicherry. Mrs. Frohnmeyer finds, that a feeling of sinfulness

is rarely met with.

She ecame, however, across some women, who

i

confessed they were sinners and guilty, and one even said: “If God

i

keeps us a year without sickness, we shall embrace Christianity.”

The sick gladly received the good tidings from and the service and

1

advice of, the women. During cholera in the monsoon their hearts were

U

21

S

more open, but after the scourge had passed, all relapsed into their

sinfal grooves.

Now and then men join the women of the house to

listen; but others are afraid the heart of their wives might become

influenced too much, and less subservient to their misrule.

Chombala. Mrs. Schmolek reminds us, that Malabar being a

mountainous country, each family lives, as it were, in a small fortified

compound.

In this way there are as many forts as there are houses.

The inmates of these houses live, however, in another fortification,

namely caste, and the way of their forefathers.

It is hard for them

to believe, that their religion is man’s invention, and therefore useless,

and that there is salvation in none but in Christ Jesus.

Calicut.

Several Missionary ladies superintended this branch.

During the cholera epidemic, which broke out twice, the hearts were

well prepared, no sooner, however, was there a respite, than their

willingness to hear changed into indifference.

On the whole all are

afraid of the consequences, in case they admit God’s claim upon

them.

Mangalore.

The four Bible-women, superintended by Mrs. Diez,

could not sell many books this year.

People told them that they

i

had already seen such books, and were in possession of them. Some

others said ‘we have our own Shastras and books, and do not require

yours’.

There are many houses in which they are received most

cordially, in others, however, some women either brought their books

and began to read aloud, or otherwise prevented them from reading,

and holding a friendly conversation.

On the whole they have

friends in many houses, and in such are asked to repeat their visits.

V. The Medical Mission.

We have much pleasure in laying before the friends of

this Mission-branch a short extract from Dr. Liebendiorfer’s

10

second yearly report.

d

“In the past year 3,228 patients applied for treatment, and

10,870 consultations were held, against 4,012 and 12,450 in the

d

previous year.

This falling off was chiefly due to my unusually

'0

22

et

long absence from Calicut in order to attend on sick members of

our Malabar and Nilagir: Mission, who were dangerously ill, and one

Besides this a Committee of Natives have

even nigh unto death.

employed a Native doctor, who under their instructions not only

treats his patients gratis, but also supports them, and many of my

former applicants have been diverted into this channel.

As to my hapless patients, nobody has an idea of the terrorism

sorcerers exercise over their mind, body, and property.

Whether a

person be suffering from incipient consumption, or indigestion, or

general debility, resulting from profligacy and recklessness, or whether

a person’s mind becomes deranged— cases most common in Malabar—,

all these symptoms are traced by the sorcerers to the revenge of some

known or unknown enemy, and prescriptions are made accordingly.

Some Christians even credit their rodomontade.

Thus patients will

avoid me, or send for me, and even my way of treatment may be

interfered with by a hint from these all-powerful impostors.

Cholera made its appearance at Calicut twice in 1888.

What

despair and terror on the one hand, and what utter indifference and

stupor on the other I had to witness!

Persons bitten by poisonous snakes were brought from all

directions; many were in time to be saved, but a few came too late,

and expired in my veranda.

Only small operations were performed.

Mrs. Liebendirfer assisted especially in nursing sick members of our

Missionary cirele, and, after Mr. L. Kallattii had left, Mr. Abijah

Edappalan made himself useful by small services, by giving appro-

priate addresses to those who had come for advice, and by distributing

handbills and tracts.

We praise the Lord for all His merciful help in so many cases,

which were a source of much anxiety, and for His not permitting us

to be put to shame.”

VII. Industrial and Mercantile Establishments.

These consist at present of the following Establishments:

Three Weaving Establishments: at Mangalore, Cannanore, and

Calicut.

The former has a Branch at Mulky; the second has

two Branches at Tellicherry and Chombala, and Calicut has a

Branch at Codacal.

Four Tile-Works:

at Jeppu and Kudroli in Mangalore,

at Malapu near Udapi, and at Calicut.

One Carpenters’ Shop at Calicut.

One Mechanical Work-shop at Mangalore.

And three Mission

Mercantile Branches at

Mangalore,

(

Mercara and Calicut.

e R

benefits many poor Christians derive from these Establish-

ments in thickly populated coast-districts with but few oppor-

tunities to earn their livelihood, are obvious.

Besides this,

habits of regularity and punctuality are acquired.

In spite of this we are far from encouraging a manufac-

turing population, and regret when those, who possess the

necessary abilities, are satisfied with being dependent on

others for their living instead of looking out for themselves,

and we hail any honest attempt of our Christians at becoming

But

independent weavers, carpenters, smiths, and so on.

even this does not satisfy us, and therefore we gladly mention

that a number of occupations, formerly considered by many

%

below their dignity, are now more favorably looked at, and in

spite of our Industrial Establishments, we most sincerely wish

our Christians to strike out for new fields of labour.

Many

prejudices, however, will have to be disregarded, wrong

L

notions to be corrected, and the conviction, that not honest

work, but habits of idleness and sponging disgrace a man,

must become more deeply ingrained in them. Thus we expect

our industries to exercise directly and indirectly an educa-

tional influence in our Congregations. May the Lord vouch-

d

safe this blessing.

There are at present 51 ordained and 14 unordained

Brethren, 44 of whom are married.

As now-a-days celibacy is beginning to be more admired

(contrary to I Tim. 4, 3), and married life in general, and

16

of Missionaries in particular, to he regarded as a lower

degree of existence, it seems necessary to state that we stand

Iy

on scriptural ground, and that we consider married life the

he

4%

28

Normal school for all those, who in accordance with I Tim. 3,

4. 12, wish to do work in the Church, and that only married

men can attend to her wants efficiently. Just so, married

women have in many cases the advantage over those who are

unmarried. This being the case, we have undertaken to give

a summary of what is being done by female ageney in Church,

School, and Evangelization work with us.

All the Missionaries’ wives, stationed as they are in 24

principal stations, besides attending to their own special duties,

are more or less engaged in superintending the sale of Bibles,

l

New Testaments, Scripture-portions, Books, and Tracts, in the

supervision of Infants’ and Industrial Schools, in conducting

é

singing-, needle-, and fancy-work-classes of the Parochial,

Mixed Vernacular, and Hindu Girls’ Schools, housekeeping,

]

and economical management of the different Orphanages, and

knitting and tailoring for our Orphan boys.

Several devote

a portion of their time to school-work, for which at present

three unmarried ladies are especially employed.

In addition

to the above, those who have mastered the Native language,

22

assist their husbands in advising the female members of their

91

Congregation, visiting the sick Christian women and children

i

of their parishes, administering medicine, assisting in cases

of childbirth and sickness, and cultivating friendly relations

B

with their non-Christian female neighbours.

Some do, what

il

is now called “Zenana work” at their places of residence,

I

or on the out-stations, and in the country whereto they

accompany their husbands, whereas others, who superintend

g

Bible-women, are in the habit of accompanying them in their

house-to-house visits.

it

As to the state of health, several of our number have been

Oc

dangerously ill, but the Lord has raised them up again,

I8

whereas He has taken some infants to Himself. Six of our old

Indian fellow-labourers viz. Mr. F. Miiller, Mr. B. Deggeller,

A small belfry was added to the Jeppu

Chapel.

The Bokapatna Chapel was consecrated on the 20th

May 1888.—We can also chronicle an increase in numbers,

a fact which would be especially pleasant, if we could add,

that those who are called to be saints prosper in their inner

man, and that the love they have towards the saints has been

duly exercised (¢f. Col. 1, 4).

Now, although our Lord

has praised this love so highly as being the distinguishing

feature of His disciples, we find many of our Christians of

long standing to have been sadly deficient in it.

We have

been grieved to see during the past year (according to 1. Cor.

13,4 ff.) a good deal of envying, vaunting, being puffed up,

behaving unseemly, seeking one’s own, being easily provoked,

thinking evil, and so on; and we implore the Lord to come

E

with His peace in our midst, and to heal all our diseases.

A Widow-house, Sick-house, and Lazaretto exist. Many of

our Christians and enquirers find work in our different esta-

blishments, and Mrs. Hirner employs a number of widows and

poor women in the Industrial School, which is carried on by

her with much devotion.

Gospel for forty years, was attended during the festival by

Mr. Hermelink and two Catechists.

We visited most of the

above mentioned festivals

for the first time.

The heathen,

who had given out that till now fear only had kept the

Padre and his companions from putting in their appearance

at the time when the festivals of certain of their powerful

gods and demons are celebrated, were shocked when they

saw them preach the Gospel for the first time, and some even

exclaimed: *Have you come here also? and is there no place

left where you do not disturb us?”

In fact, not only they

but all of their conviction regret that their spiritual stag-

nation and service of sin is interfered with.

Owing to the change spoken of in our last

In the bazaar of Mulky and at the market of Padubidri

the Gospel was regularly preached, and a number of heathen

Evangelization,

Owing to the protracted suffering of our

two Brethren (especially Mr. Gotz), itinerancy suffered a

good deal.

Myr. Schaible, Mr. Gotz and Catechists Joshua and

Jesudasa devoted 213 days in all to this important work.

Our reception was very varied. The rich are satiated and do

not want anything, and the poor and distressed look to the

favour and disfavour of the former.

Only a few begin to feel

their thraldom and long for Christ, the Son of God.

The School in Hepankeri, opened on the 9th January 1888,

had to meet a good deal of opposition and slander.

Owing

to the sickness of the Teacher, the Catechists had to help.

Evangelization being the chief work of this station, Mission-

ary and Catechists not only spent much of their time in

f

preaching in the bazaar and in conversation during house-to-

house visits at Honavar and its neighbourhood, but Mr. Digel

also devoted 122 days to the district, and Catechists Mathias,

Henry (since March), and Nathanael (since May) collectively 338

l

days. The Gospel was made known in house-to-house visits,

at fairs, at bazaars, at heathen festivals, and was carried as

far as Sirsi, and Stddhapur.

We came across several simple-

minded people, who were taken up by the glad tidings of

salvation, but we met also those who were determined in

destroying the impression made by our preaching through

using violence, mockery, and other devices.

After the benefit of regular gospel-preaching had been

1

withheld from this place for a number of years, the stationing

of Mr. Flischer and two Catechists means a renewed trial and

a fresh appeal to all in the Town and the District to shake

off the shackles imposed on them by those, who call themselves

il

teachers, and to take upon themselves instead the easy yoke

of the Teacher of the world, Jesus Christ.

fl

Although the

novelty of bazaar-preaching at Karwar begins to wear off,

%)

there are many who gladly listen.

In the District, people

were at first terror-struck when we appeared, till they found

18

out that we are neither tax-gatherers, Policemen, nor those

who enquire into any kind of wrong and mischief, but that

of

we had come to do them good. Mr. Flischer devoted 122 days,

i

and Messrs. Bunyan and Sona 143 and 137 days respectively,

I

to itinerancy.

Among those whom we addressed there were some who

)

had heard the Gospel from the lips of the late Mr, Albrecht;

whether the seed is to rot or to sprout at last, God knows.

We met also others who instead of mending their ways now,

think that circumstances should improve, but by far the

greater part do not know that they require a Saviour.

The excess in numbers is chiefly due to im-

migration.

Disputes and differences rising among Church-

members are settled only after the Pastor has exhausted all

his powers of conviction, because it is foolishness, nay even

madness, to the unconverted to pardon freely.

Evangelization,

The work was carried on in the Bazaar

and by house-to-house visits at Mercara.

People begin to

blame God for partiality in unequally distributing the gifts

of health and wealth. Mr. Hafner, three Catechists, one Colpor-

teur, and a Teacher visited in October the Talakdveri festival,

when they had the opportunity of working among 5000 to 6000

pilgrims, chiefly Coorgs, Malabar Brahmans, and farmers from

Canara. Mr. Hafner visited Suntikoppa and Fraserpet five

times; Kanive, Madapur, and Somawarapett twice ; and Murnad,

Biligers, Napoklu, and Bettagiri once, Mr. Bode accompanying

him on two occasions.

Depressing as the indifference is with

which Mr. Hafner was met, the kind reception accorded him

by a Temperance-Union of Coorgs cheered him up. Catechist

Sowens, in spite of sickness, spent 129 days, traversing Coorg

in all directions.

No wonder, that many friends ask: «“What are the results of

ding, and His blessing will attend our exertions.”

snarlingly with: «You devil, you beggar, where do you come

from? What do you want?” It is not difficult to say, what

the effect will be on the coolies, who often discomfit the

Catechist with allusions to the inconsistent lives of their

masters.

Our sad experiences through the secession

Mr. Niibling, Mr. Waidelich,

Catechist D. Subarao, and Asst. Catechist Stephan Sagari could

devote only 28, 59, 107 and 51 days respectively to itinerancy.

Mr. S. Devada went on a preaching excursion to Ranibennur.

Whereas in some parts of the Taluk we were welcome to

interrupt the monotony of life, in others we were listened to

with an air of indifference.

There were also some who tried

to raise hopes in the Missionaries, and others who made much

of the shortcomings of our Christians by asking (according to

Congregation. Had all our Christians who joined the church

experienced in baptism their being quickened together with

Christ, there would be less of a desire to conform themselves

to the world than there is at present.

There are, for instance,

women who mark their girls with the heathenish mark of

“beauty” on the forehead; some young men who join the

frolic and revellings practised at heathen festivals, and others

nd

who take an active part in the dances at the time of the

Moharram processions, or delight in all sorts of heathenish

pleasure.

To sanctify the Lord’s day, send their children to

school, submit to church-discipline, etc. are considered as

somewhat onerous duties by a number of younger converts.

There are, however, some who gladden our hearts, and awaken

good hopes concerning the future.

part of Brahmans, to listen to the claims of the Gospel. Dur-

North Malabar, devoting about 500 days to itinerancy. The

and especially towards a new-comer in Arebettw,, whom they

drove out of the house with his family and locked it up, we

were obliged to implore the help of Government.

Such worries

are comparatively easier to bear than those, when the

friendly relations existing between the Missionary and those

entrusted to his charge are disturbed by a feeling of temporary

distrust and dissatisfaction.

This was the case in this congre-

gation when the waves of discontent reached us from Nerikambe

and Kaity. We hope, however, that these wounds will soon

be healed.

Schools,

In the Orphanage for girls we aim at making the

girls belonging to it good house-wives by inuring them to thrifty

habits, and by giving them a good education in book-learning

and needle-work. The Parochial School suffered through a

Stuttgart having been discontinued and unaccountably allowed to

fall into abeyance, he commenced in 1861 with collecting about 15

young men for meditation and prayer.

The Lord blessed this small

beginning so much that, with the help of some influential Christians,

100

it grew into two Young Men’s Unions, the one for married, and the

all

other for unmarried men.

He also assisted in founding the South-

as a dying man.

He was taken from her side on December 25,

1869.

After his death she opened an Infants’ School at Mangalore,

and sailed for Europe in 1871.

Her energies were wholly devoted

to the superintendence of a Créche (a place where the infants of

working women are taken care of, whilst their mothers earn their

livelihood) at, and in visiting and administering to the poor and the

Of our Native Assistants we have to record the death of

two Catechists.

The one is Catechist Satyarthi Kaundinya, late of Mangalore

(South-Canara).

He was a Saraswat Brahman, and had passed

the Matriculation in the Normal School. 'When an influential toddy-

drawer got some Brahma Samaj Missionaries from Calcutta, he

joined the Brahma Samaj.

He then sold his small property, and

at the suggestion of the Brahma Samaj Missionaries went to Calcutta

in order to qualify himself for a Brahma Samaj Missionary.

The

climate of Calcutta, but especially want of food and exposure, brought

on consumption. After seven months’ stay he went to Bombay, but not

feeling benefited by the change he came to Mangalore, where he was

convineed by Mr. Graeter, and took the cross of Christ upon him. He

was baptized in 1877. During two years’ instruction in the Seminary

he recovered in a remarkable manner.

He was sent to the South-

Mahratta country, and when his sickness appeared again, was re-

transferred to Mangalore as an invalid.

He was laid up from time

to time, but rallied again and again, and it is our full conviction, that

the secret of his bodily strength and power was his unshaken faith

i

in his Saviour,

Although he accomplished no great feats, he tried to make him-

self useful in a Committee of Revision of the Konkani New Testa-

A

b

ment, and in making known the Gospel as far as his strength per-

mitted.

)i

He was at home in the Bible, had a deeper understanding

1l

of God’s plan of salvation than average Christians, and loved the

Lord fervently.

As he hated half-heartedness and unreality he was

at times somewhat harsh in his judgment of others.

The Lord re-

Iy

leased him from this body of sin and death on the 11th July 1888 ‘a.t

t0

n

the age of 38 to 40 years.

18

Catechist Esau David of Calicut (Malabar) belonged to the Nayar

ol

caste.

After he had turned to the Lord, thankfulness for the grace

ot

he had received marked his frame of mind.

A serious fall was the

cause of his suspension for a number of years, but when he gave

f0

!

signs of genuine repentance he was re-instated. His humble walk,

and his compassion for fallen sinners, beecame now more conspicuous.

96

.

At last his attention was turned to a number of lepers, belonging to

our church, whose spokesman, adviser, and father he became, and

whom he nursed in days of sickness, not from bravado, bat, forget-

ting the ingrained native prejudices, out of pure love for Christ’s

sake.

In this service he caught small-pox from them and died in

b

May 1888 at the age of about 65 years.

For the sake of his many friends among high and low,

and especially those who, next to God’s grace, owe their con-

version to his instrumentality, and who will be anxious to

hear of his godly end, it is now incumbent on us to add to

the Obituary the name of Charles Stocking, our late European

Catechist at Cannanore.

Charles Stocking was born at Garboldisham, near Market

East Harling, in the county of Norfolk, England, on the 25th

December 1816.

His father’s name was Zachariasand his mother’s

maiden name Sarak Keley.

He lost his mother in' August 1825.

His father, a farm-labourer, was a good old man, but Charles, not

liking his admonitions and advice, ran away from home, and enlisted

at Bury St. Edmund’s in Sufolk on October 22, 1839 into Her Ma-

jesty’s 94th Regiment, which arrived in Cannanore on the 17th

December 1840, and after being transferred to Trichinopoly in April

1843, and to Aden in February 1845, returned to Cannanore on the

é

17th January 1848, where the Rev. Samuel Hebich had been perma-

nently stationed since 1841.

The Mission Chapel being near the

barracks, Charles felt soon attracted by the queer-looking but

i

d

friendly Mr. Hebich, and began to sit under his ministry. There he

felt as if hot lead was being poured into his bones, when the echo

|

of the thunders from Sinai were heard, condemning his sinful ways,

and it seemed to him as if he were nailed to his seat and could not

O

move, when the sweet invitations uttered in the name of Him who

Ul

hi

first pronounced them, viz.: ‘Come unto me, all ye that labour and

are heavy laden, and I will give you rest’, struck his ear, and when

th

e

he saw the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world and his

0]

sins too. His darkness became enlightened, and he passed from it

into the light, yea, from death into life, in July 1848.

the

Wh

e

9%

His relation to Mr. Hebich was henceforth that of a son to his

father.

During his repeated visits he laid open his temptations and

weaknesses, and by Mr. Hebich’s advice grew in grace and strength.

The desire to do the Lord’s work rose in his heart.

When Mr,

Hebich saw after 3 years’ close observation that both his conversion

and evangelistic spirit were sound and real, he helped him to get his

discharge from Her Majesty’s 94th Regiment on the 5th of August

1852.

The Report for the Cannanore station for 1852, p. 27 in-

forms us that: “Our little band of Catechists had received a welcome

accession in the person of Charles Stocking.”

Mr. Hebich had never

any reason to regret this step, nay on the contrary he found in him

a reliable fellow-labourer, precious like gold.

After Stocking’s

marriage to a Native girl, he was sent to Taliparambu on September

12, 1852.

He lost her in December 1853, when he was removed

to Cannanore.

The Report for 1854 page 31 mentions' the con-

version of “Mulile Ramotti”” who had been the Malayalam Moonshy

of Stocking, whose piety and convincing arguments made such an

f

impression upon him, that he at last turned to the Lord on June 13,

1854 and received the name of 4brakam in baptism.

The Report

for 1855 page 27, adds: “The Catechists Stocking and (the above

h

said) Abraham live among the colonists of the newly established

il

Chovva colony and announce the Gospel both on the high-roads ad-

e

Joining the spot and in the scattered dwellings of the surrounding

s

Tiyar and Nayar population.”

From the Report for 1856 page 22

he

we learn that, there was a school at Chovva under the superinten-

it

dence of the Catechists Ch. Stocking and Muliyile Abraham.

There

he

was at first quite a scare caused there by the introduction of slates.

|h0

Whilst in Chovva, Stocking lost in January 1855 his second wife

15

Sarah, who left him a little boy.

On April 13, 1856 he married his

ot

present wife Juanna, who bore him 11children, of whom 3 died before

him.

He was then transferred to Cannanore, where he helped in

iho

ad

the Native Congregation and in preaching to the heathen.

His

hen

chief work was, however, to seek and to save the lost among English

it}

soldiers, and by prayer-meetings and private conversation to streng-

nlt

then the believers among them.

It gave him the greatest pleasure

whenever the Lord condescended to use him in the rescue of some

lost one, and as he knew all success was due to grace, he objected to

being made much of and, whenever asked about his former life,

suspecting it was to write his biography, he positively refused to

give any details, saying: “I have already told everything to Mr.

Hanhart.”

Our brother was toiling on, always cheerful and happy

His unobtrusive and

in spite of family troubles and anxieties.

steady dutifulness, earnestness, and piety endeared him to his

fellow-labourers, as well as to his superiors.

Although he never

enjoyed, nor asked for the benefit of recreation on a hill-station, he

was always hale and strong, and scarcely knew what sickness was.

Only of late his robust constitution and his memory began to give

way, but the old fire was nevertheless unquenched! The Lord alone

knows his unpretending servant’s work, whom He honoured because

“He resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble.”

About the last days of our dear brother we heard during

our passage from Cannanore to Tellicherry the following details

from the Rev. I. Weismann, which we give unabridged for the

h

benefit of his many friends.

Mr. Stocking was most happy on Friday the 25th January 1889,

il

He attended a meeting of the Presbytery under the presidentship of

50

the Rev. Th. Ochler from 1-6 p. M. (see Appendix), after which he felt

ki

somewhat tired, not being accustomed to sit so long at a stretch.

th

On Sunday the 27th January he went to church, which was

attended by the whole congregation of Cannanore and Chovva, when

86

Mr. Ochler preached on i. Cor. 7, 23 : “For ye are bought with a price;

i

be not ye the servants of men.” This sermon cheered him up greatly.

the

In the afternoon he listened attentively to a Missionary Meeting by

Sto

Mr. Preiswerk,* and in the evening to an English sermon by Mr.

8ap

Weismann.

After the evening service he felt overjoyed and, pat-

]&bg

ting a young soldier on the shoulder, said to him: “I am getting

big church even is overcrowded.”

He passed the evening with

Christian soldiers very happily.

On Monday the 28th he got up quite well and in buoyant spirits,

singing some favourite hymns, and was getting ready for another

Elders’ meeting.

His family begged hard of him to stay at home

and to rest, but he could not bear being detained, and replied: ‘I

must go and hear what that servant of the Lord, who has come from

Basel, has got to say, and I cannot stay away when they are deliber-

ating about Chovva, a place dear to me for years. (He referred to the

dispute about the Chovva lands.) He then sat down, took his coffee

and, complaining of pains in his loins, got up, but becoming un-

conscious leaned towards a pillar, and would have fallen had not one

of his sons supported him. A soldier, who passed by and heard ecalls

for help, jumped over the wall, came to his assistance, and helped

to lay him on his bed.

When Mr. Weismann, whe had been hastily sent for, arrived,

he found him again conscious, but very weak.

“My dear Mr. Weis-

mann’’, Mr. Stocking said, “this is my last day, and I am so happy,

j

thinking that I shall see my Saviour today. The Lord has been

50 good to me, that I cannot but praise Him for all His mercy and

ol

kindness.

I am suffering great pain, but it will soon be over.

I

|k

think my prayers are heard, and my sufferings will be but short.”

His humble, earnest prayer for years had been to die in actual

service—in full harness—and not to be a burden either to the

el

Mission as a pensioner, or to his family by doting old age, nor to be

8

Mr. Weismann now saw that Mr.

\

thrown on a bed of sickness.

Stocking’s days were numbered; and began to feel most keenly the

oy

gap which was being made by the Lord in the ranks of devoted

U

labourers. Stocking was to him a fellow-labourer blessed by the

e

Lord, and as a young Missionary for the last ten years more, a

fils

[!)0‘14

spiritual friend and adviser; his never ceasing joy in the Lord

refreshed him whenever he felt downcast.

Mr. Weismann then went

{his

to call Mr. Ochler.

When Mr. Ochler came, Mr. Stocking took his

o

hand and kept it for some minutes clasped in his. Mr. Oekler cheered

him up by different passages of Scripture, as: “There is therefore

o

100

now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus’’ (Rom. 8, 1).

A smile lighted up his countenance and, applying that passage

to himself, he replied: “Yes, the Lord be praised, there is now no

condemnation for me.

I have been washed by the precious blood

of the Lamb, and though a poor and miserable sinner, I am,

through Him, my Redeemer, white and elean.” Mr. Weismann asked

him: “Have you any particular wishes regarding your family?” He

replied smilingly: “My Lord has been good to me all the days of

my life; my poor wife (mentally affected) and my children are in the

Lord’s hands; He will care for them as He cared for me.”

Mr.

Weismann, at the request of Mr. Ochler, prayed with him and then

they both left.

Mr. Weismann saw Mr. Stocking again at noon in

the company of Dr. Major, the Military Surgeon.

The Doctor

examined Stocking and, turning to Mr. Weismann, declared that he

had a sound heart and a quite regular pulse, and suggested his

stomach might be out of order, and he would be soon all right.

‘When S;tockz'ng heard this, he said to the Doctor: ¢I thank you,

Sir, for your kind visit, but’’, he added with a smile, “I know that

I shall not rise up again from this bed of sickness.”

As Stocking

now looked so well, Mr. Weismann sided with the Doctor.

After

that he sang the whole of the hymn: “Jesus, Lover of my soul”

with a loud voice.

When Mr. Weismann left him he said: “I hope

)

to see you all right in the evening.’

“Well, well M.

Weismann,

rejoined Stocking, “you will see me, but I shall be changed.

Afterwards

Stocking called his wife to take farewell of her: My dear Juanna,”

a1

he addressed her, “you have always been a dear and loving wife to

€

me.

.”’ Being mentally somewhat deranged, she replied: “I have

Jo1

not pushed you down”’—when a sad expression of grief spreading

over his face, he said: “My poor wife cannot understand me.” He

then exhorted his children touchingly and pressingly to follow the

Qe

Lord.

When Christian soldiers off duty, who had heard of his

Ly

sudden attack of weakness, came to visit him, he addressed them in

P{)]

his old spirited manner in a sort of ecstacy about the Lord and the

Chy

ot

At 7 p.y. Mr. Weismann was called from the meeting of the

Presbytery to see Mr. Stocking.

He found him no longer suffering

pain, but with his eyes shut and unable to speak.

When Mr.

Mr,

Stocking heard Mr. Weismann's voice he opened his eyes.

Weismann prayed with and for him, and after 1 to 2 hours our dear

brother died gently and conscious under the prayers of the Christian

soldiers, his best earthly friends.

The end of this pious man was such that even his children

declared: ‘It would be dishonouring our heavenly and earthly Father

were we to murmur against the Lord.” He died on the 28th January.

On Tuesday the 29th the coffin was carried into the body of

the church, full to overcrowding with both Christians and heathen.

Mr. Weismann preached in Malayalam and English on Rev. 7, 47"

“ After this I beheld and, lo, a great multitude ete.”

8

He began to say, he wanted to shew what our brother would

have to tell us, were he here:

1. of alarge crowd, 2. from many

nations, 3.ofthose whom he also had led to the Lord, and 4.of those

ly

b

who had committed many sins but are washed inthe blood of the

Lamb and fed by the Lamb; and went on saying: this man of humble

g

o

parentage is now happy. His death will be lamented in five continents

where there are many whose souls he led to Christ.

What made

Il

him so successful was his unshaken faith in “the Lamb of God which

e

iy

carried away the sins of the world”’, his qfectionate love to Him

who had bought him with His blood, and his faithfulness in his ealling

jod

as a servant of Christ.

There was a military cortege of volunteers

18

and soldiers, who competed among themselves as to who should

10y

carry his coffin.

On the way to the burial ground a large crowd

joined the cortege and, had his death been known, the ecrowd would

have been still larger.

At the grave Mr. Weismann rvead the Liturgy and the Rev. T%.

He

Ochler gave a German address, translated into Malayalam by the

1 tile

Rev. J. Knobloch and into English by the Rev. I. Weismann.

b

Pointing to the good fight of faith our deceased brother had fought,

it

he showed that his faithfulness consisted in his boldly confessing

{ the

Christ and clinging to Him, not to Maria, or to any Saint.

“'We

were,” he said, “deliberating two days ago, whether we should

102

pension our old brother, but the Lord not approving of what we did,

called His servant home to Himself.”

Some officers and a great

number of soldiers were present at the funeral.

It was night when

we left God’s acre.

Mr. Stocking was a man of one purpose and of one passion.

He

was ready and felt safe in the arms of Jesus—ready, aye ready.

Yet, though ready, he knew his old enemy, Satan, and therefore asked

his sons, whilst still hale and strong, * When I can no more pray then

pray earnestly for me, that Satan does not try again on me his old

tricks of causing me doubts, discouragement, and so on.”

The Lord raises from time to time believers and vouchsafes them

His merey, as Paul says of himself, that in them “Jesus Christ might

;[;

shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them which should here-

a

after believe on Him to life everlasting.” i.Tim. 1,16.

In our

W

Brother also the Lord has shown, that He has patience and bears

whatever other rank he may hold, can keep himself unspotted in spite

Conclusion.

As the volcanic and neptunic revolutions and climatic

changes transpiring in and on the globe, though seemingly

disconnected, are in reality closely linked together, so is

it also with the various phenomena in the spiritual world

all over

the universe.

According to our Lord’s teaching

il

and prophecies, we are told, that there exists not only

a parallelism, but a sympathetic concert of events in

both the material and the spiritual world, <. e. that the

calamitous as well as the beneficial incidents in the visible

bt

and the invisible world are closely intertwined.

There

are now unusual great commotions in the visible and invisible

118

world. Be countries ever so far asunder and people ever so

18

heterogenous, there is one beat of the pulse in a good as well

its

as in a bad sense.

o

Numerous earthquakes, fearful eruptions, baffling inun-

dations here and there and far asunder, are matched by an

?ite

k‘:

alarmingly increasing and spreading scepticism, infidelity,

and superstition, a fearful falling away. On the other hand,

ey

Tho

to God’s rich blessing and lavish bounty correspond the

wonderful workings of His spirit and the enhanced activity

onfi

or

in the Kingdom of God to save those who are lost, and hring

the whole earth into fealty to their liege Lord. All this re-

Yot

solf-

minds us ‘“that yet a little while, and he that shall come

will come, and will not tarry”, and that the hour of the ap-

hete

pearing of the Bridegroom is fast approaching. Who knows

p o

how long each of us individually, and we as a Christian body,

gever

may be permitted to work, when our night will have come,

ghott

when all work must cease!

Therefore to the law and to the

f ud

testimony! Let us “work out our own salvation with fear and

fient®

trembling” and do the Lord’s work with all our might, and may

our dear friends go on growing in grace and support our

APPENDIX.

Brief Account of the Visitation of the Indian Basel Missio;l-FieId

within the 1st January and the 1st June 1889

by a Deputation from the Committee of the B. G. Ev. Missionary Society.

The Committee of the Basel German Evangelical Missionary

Society have for a long time been anxious to send a Deputation

to their Mission-field in China, where they began work as

early as 1846.

The first inspection was to take place there

é

at the end of 1888, and the same Deputation, when returning

f

home in the beginning of 1889, were to pay a visit to India

1l

t00

This Mission-field had the benefit of a second visit as

€]

early as 1880 to 1881 in the persons of Messrs. O. Schott and

st

W. Preiswerk, but, owing to the indisposition of the former,

the inspection could not then be carried out as originally

iy

planned. To make good this defect, and to get information

ha

regarding some very important questions, the presence of the

il

Deputation on the spot was required.

il

The present Deputation too consisted of two members of

off

the Basel Mission Committee. They were the Rev. Th. Oehler,

tha

Corresponding Secretary and Principal of the Mission College

ang

at Basel, and W. Prewswerk Ksq.

The latter gentleman is

known to our readers as the devoted companion of the Rev. O.

late

Schott in India (see Report for 1880 p. 80 ff.), and of the

Hoy

lamented fev. Hermann Praetorius in Western Africa (see

o

Report for 1882, Appendix). The Deputation set out for China,

(0ng

in August 1888, and, after having completed the work in their

II

o

Mission there, they embarked at Hongkong on the 24th

Why

December 1888 in the S. S. Preussen, reached Colombo on

ay ad

the 1st January, and Calicut on January 10, 1889, with the

0of g,

intention of visiting their Indian Mission-field and seeing

11[; (

what they could of the work carried on by other Evangelical

Missions, in the ensuing four to five months. The two gentle-

RCCQPI

Ong

men divided the inspection among themselves in this manner,

i

105

Myr. Oehler took the Clerical and Educational Departments,

whereas Mr. Preiswerk charged himself with the arrangement

of the journey, and the Economical, Industrial, and Mercantile

Departments of the Mission.

Owing to the shortness of time and the extension of the

work, the Deputation were obliged to make a Programme, in

which the time of each day was fully occupied; unforeseen

occurrences and interruptions, however, threatened often to

interfere.

When we add to the daily mental and bodily

exertions, repeated travelling by night in country-carts, we will

:‘12

understand that all their powers were fully taxed. It is there-

fore a matter for thanks, that they were able to carry out the

g

1%

inspection as planned, and that on the whole the two gentlemen

ih)

enjoyed good health, although Mr. Preiswerk suffered from the

id

sting of a poisonous insect for some time.

The Deputation was everywhere received with due solemn-

oL

Iy

ity and heartiness.

All churches, chapels, schools, workshops,

bangalows and places visited were neatly festooned and decorat-

0l

the

ed, some even with much taste and art, not to speak of the

mostly well executed singing of smaller and larger choirs, and

s of

other appreciative signs of joy. Addresses of welcome and

thanks tried to put in words the feelings of the congregations

lery

ege

and other bodies.

Wherever the Deputation arrived, if not too early or too

N1

.0

late in the day, the work of inspection was begun by entering the

House of God, where the Pastor opened the service with praising

the

500

God for having sped our superiors, and My. Oehler saluted the

(2

congregation in the name of the Basel Mission Committee, thank-

ht

ity

el

ing them for the kindly reception, by which they honour those

t

who had deputed them. There followed mostly the reading of

ouh

an address of thanks for benefits received, and the presentation

0 ]l

of some souvenir which was replied to in appropriate terms by

p il

i

ng

Mr. Ocehler, who wished it clearly to be understood, that he

566l

accepted the expressions of gratitude only in behalf of the

oliea)

Home Committee, and that all praise belonged in fact to

ot

le

Him, the Giver of all good, whose instruments we are.

ety

ol

14

106

As to the character of the present inspection we find that

it was not only examining and seeing on the part of the

Deputation, but that they tco had, so to say, to put their

shoulder to the wheel and, in several instances, even to. act

as peacemakers.

We may bring the beneficial effects under

three to four heads.

1. Encouragements.

Myr. Oehler paid great attention to the

different Parochial and Non-christian Schools.

His chief aim

was to ascertain in what manner religious instruction is im-

parted by the teachers, and how it is received by the pupils,

and also by what method the secular teaching is communicated.

l

As a sound educationist he paid as much attention to the

1

Infants’ standard—where the foundation for all subsequent

learning is laid, either carefully or slovenly—as to the F. A.

|

classes.

The interest he evinced in the answers of, or the

(i

proficiency shown by, the pupils, or in the manual skill exhi-

W

bited by the inmates of the Orphanages, and the appreciative

i

remarks on the work done, or to addresses presented, was grati-

fying to managers, teachers, and pupils alike. Workshops and

an

all kinds of establishments were duly visited by the Deputation,

(60)

and received their share of attention to detail, as well as words

and Leper-Asylums omitted.

Whenever time permitted Native

Th

houses were visited, great interest was shown in Native ways,

chy

intercourse with Native members cultivated, and social gather-

e

ings with the men of the congregations-—though often at a

Ofc

late hour—were opened, and a friendly intercourse encour-

)

aged, so that all concerned could see and feel, that the De-

hoy

putation had not come as rulers and masters, but to show

ey

Christian love to those whom they consider fellow-heirs of the

1

fo

same precious salvation.

0ug

2. Edification and Exhortation.

The building up in our

leggg

most holy faith, and the strengthening of the Brethren, formed

a very prominent feature of their visit. This was accomplished

I\

as often as an opportunity offered itself, when Mr. Ochler

leCen

107

addressed either a whole congregation, or their representatives,

or the local Native Helpers, or the Missionary circle of each

station, or also various District-meetings.

«Without holiness

no man shall see the Lord, nor can any one become an effectual

fellow-worker of Christ,”

was the burden of Mr. Oehler’s

speeches.

My. Preiswerk, on the other hand, by Missionary

meetings on China or Africa, tried to create kindly sympathy

and brotherly love towards the Chinese and African Brethren

in his hearers.

3. Instruction.

The Deputation took pains to show to the

)

local Presbyteries, as well as to the District Synods, the way

in which a church can become self-supporting and independent,

16

nb

and to impress on them the necessity of their hearty co-operation

and good-will in order to accomplish this object.

The secret

he

consists in every one being ready to serve the body of Christ

with the gift Ze has received. Self-government without self-

I

\(¢

support, however, is a chimera.

The correcting, expostulating,

4. Disapproval and reproof.

nd

and admonishing part, although of a most delicate nature,

could not be avoided.

The Deputation had to deal with a few

00,

complaints preferred against Missionaries, on the ground

s

00!

that they did not act up to the orders of the Committee.

This was evidently done to take revenge for reproofs or

fve

'3551

church-discipline administered, and to prove the necessity of

a greater share in self-government.

Also the unmanly way

of complaining by means of anonymous letters was resorted

The Deputation had decided to take the bull by the

Ol

horns.

They listened most impartially to the complaints and,

demanding the incriminating material, went dispassionately

o

into the matter and weighed carefully the evidence, pointing

f the

out what was true or false, right or wrong, administering the

necessary private or public reproof and admonition, and

o

demanding apologies where persons had been wronged.

That a large number of petitions of various character were

received and disposed of, as the case required, may be inferred.

an epitome of the work done by the Deputation.

Miwerdtu and Wadagara.

In Payyoli they had a rendezvous with the lonely,

pr

but happy Poul Karunagaran, who had come to meet them from Perambara

(Report 1885, p. 9). In Wadagara they were welcomed in a touching manner by

the old Deacon J. Jacobi.

Chombaéla was reached in brilliant moon-light.

Mr. Oehler addressed in the Church the congregation and hundreds of heathen.

to the Governor or Administrateur of Mahé, who kindly accompanied them to

the Franco-Anglo-Vernacular Mission School in that town, where, after careful
