In the first Worke half of the year, we had the pleasure and honor of welcoming h&\fe ¢ amongst us the deputation from our Home Committee, con- ChistS, sisting of our Principal, the Rev. Th. Oehler, and Mr. W. Preiswerk. T We refrain from entering into any details of Decig)] S te s LU 11 their stay amongst us, as an account of it has already been Their given in last year’s Report (104 and following pages). visit is gratefully remembered by all with whom they came in contact, and we believe and are hopeful that this visitation of our Indian Mission-field will bring forth good fruit in years to come for ourselves and the work in general. All friends of the Mission were thankful to hear of their safe return to Basel, but the news that Myr. Qehler received, on arrival, a telegram summoning him to the death-bed of his brother filled us with grief, and reminded us that in this )y 12 life, joy and sorrow ever go hand in hand 1y of [y] r<} This Institution at Mangalore, }’GM’S Theological Seminary, has hitherto formed the training ground for all our Catechists, 4. e., natives educated to preach 5100 to natives. But unfortunately in our Mission-field we have | miﬂd to contend with the difficulty of three different languages, b HlS viz. Canarese, Malayalam, and Tulu. We have therefore con- d, not fined our efforts in the Seminary to imparting instruction Toud, in Canarese and Malayalam, being convinced that making o Our these languages (their mother-tongues) the medium of teaching of the will be more profitable to the students than English—a ; and language foreign to them. This system has also the ad- 10U vantage that the Catechists thus trained can be employed W()l‘ks. in any district without regard to the district to which they 131; &H originally belonged. Except however in very urgent cases, this has never been done. The Malayalis have generally been sent to Malabar, and the Mahrattis to South-Mahratta, while 1| give done those from the Tulu country (South-Canara) very frequently worked in both Coorg and South-Mahratta; as for instance we 6 firs have at present in Coorg 5, and in South-Mahratta 6 Cate- chists, who are natives of the Tulu Country. This diversity in the languages of our Mission-field es- ;)1[7‘1 I pecially leads to many deliberations, the result of which ails 0 9% i 12 has been a proposal put forward by the Malabar District- Conference held at Calicut on the occasion of our Principal’s visit, to have two separate Seminaries, v4z. a Malayalam Semi- nary for Malabar in connection with the Christian High School at Tellicherry, and a Canarese Seminary in the pre- sent Institution at Mangalore for Canara, Coorg, and South- In Mahratta. This proposal was approved of by Mr. Oehler, and subsequently, on his return to Basel, was passed as a re- solution by the Home Committee. b The carrying out of this scheme has already been given effect to by the opening of a separate class for theological students in the Christian High School at Tellicherry. And the Malabar students, who are By still in the Mangalore Seminary, will proceed thither in April cha, next. and 3. This year we fxave made a our Change in the Statis- slight alteration in our Statistical AS] tical Tables. Tables by separating the school-cen- Hup sus from the rest of the statistical information.

Of those i the who had previously gone home for a change, Mr. Matthissen Such returned to Calicut, Mr. Kiihnle to Palghaut, Mr. Hartmann o the to Puttur, Mr. Eblen to Udapi, Mr. Benner to Calicut, ] from Myr.

One of our lay-brethren, Hauri, was unexpectedly and this e suddenly taken from our midst by the Lord; the veteran Layer, late of Dharwar, was a short time ago, called to the home above (see Obituary). Our new arrivals during the course of the year consisted of Mr. G. Wieland for Basrur, Mr. W. Weischedel for Mangalore, 14 e and Mr. J.

Moreover, one became Assistant Catechist from Sta the School for Evangelists at Betigeri, and another was ini- Ay tiated into this work on the Nilagiris, so that we have now a theg band of 106 Evangelists and Catechists in active service, viz. of ¢ 46 in Canara and Coorg, 14 in South-Mahratta, 40 in Malabar, Doy and 6 on the Nilagiris. They are partly employed in congre- fee gations and higher schools, partly as itinerating preachers. hay by 3. Christian Schoolmasters. Their number is 135, of whom of { 43 belong to Canara, 17 to South-Mahratta, 54 to Malabar, 1,11 and 21 to the Nilagiris. We have also 42 School-mistresses. that Besides, there is a number of heathen teachers employed in Wigh our schools, viz. 40 in Canara and Coorg, 11 in South-Mahratta, Wiy 49 in Malabar, and 3 on the Nilagiris. Wi 4, Bible-women. We have 4 of them in Canara, 2 in South- Wag Mahratta, and 10 in Malabar. Thus the Agents employed by JULS our Mission number 549 souls. Rey 15 el 2. We will now look at the work done by these agents iy amongst Christians and heathen, in schools, and by means of ) 10 literature. ?ode A. Work in Christian Congregations. Our Christians now number 9682 souls, being 290 in excess of last year. We baptized 177 heathen and 429 Christian tors children. 238 deaths occurred during the year. (For particu- and lars regarding some of them, see the reports of Mangalore, sfer, Mulky, Dharwar, Hubli, and others.) lfbl‘&, We extract the following remarks from last year’s Report: 18 «When we review the other portions of our Mission-field o 10 we are painfully struck at the daily diminishing number of heir that band of noble men and women, who amidst much con: enmity and persecution, forsook their idols, their castemen, ial and their families, became the first fruits of our different from Stations, and as such, the salt and light of the congregations. 1n A new generation is gradually taking their place, most of OW' a these have not tasted the thraldom of idolatry and the enmity i of the world, but have enjoyed all the privileges conferred ibal" upon them through the medium of Church and School. They ]gle feel their present elevated position; their energies, however, 5 have not as yet found their proper channels. Many, especially hom of those, who till now have not experienced what a new birth is, in their desire to improve their circumstances, are impatient bat, that things develop so slowly and not in the very way they §38: d 1 wish, and are often apt to suspect the wvery Missionaries to whose instrumentality most of them owe their prosperity, and att&, who meditate no means and ways to push them on, as if it was they who were keeping them down and hindering their outh progress.” a1y With deep regret we have this year to confirm these remarks. Reports have reached us from several stations of growing up 16 e sons grieving their parents and teachers, and in one case, of la having even ill-treated them. These unruly members were of me duly admonished, but finding all our remonstrances had remained fruitless, we had finally to excommunicate them. wh Very careful nursing and faithful looking after of souls is tel indispensable, if our congregations are to shine as lights whi amidst the heathen darkness around them. the lig B. Work among the Heathen. WOz Our chief aim is the evangelisation of the heathen around. ful We therefore take advantage of all public assemblies at hag heathen festivals and weekly markets to sow the good seed of t] the Word of God amongst the masses, while we try to reach the individuals by house-to-house-visits in towns and villages. Our experiences on such occasions are varied. As a rule, the audiences are quiet and orderly, but at times serious dis- ang putes arise, or general unseemly behaviour occurs, while on ) rare occasions active opposition is shown to us by the throw- ing of stones, etc. Myr. Warth of Bijapur reports: «It is nothing new to find Hindu preachers travelling from place to place and holding (i b forth on Hinduism, but I lately met a Muhammedan Moulvi, who, like ourselves, was travelling from village to village, visiting heathen festivals and gatherings and preaching Muhammedanism. This is something new in our parts”. ( Further details of this work will be found in the reports of our different Stations. Our friends will be able to see from these reports what difficulties are met with in bringing the Gospel to the heathen by, around, and how much those engaged in this work stand in T]led need of prayerful aid and support of all well-wishers of ( hl]\ Missions, in order that by them the Kingdom of our Lord Preag and Saviour may be brought to the people among whom we fatlg | i ) OF labour Especially do we ask for the prayers and sympathies Tere of our friends in behalf of our Bible-women Although they had meet with much that tends to dishearten and discourage them 161 while making their house-to-house-visits, still they too can s 18 tell of many pleasant, joyful, and encouraging experiences ghts which prove that their labour is not in vain, as here and there the Gospel message throws into heathen darkness a ray of light which would never have entered there but for such women’s work among women We are therefore most thank- nd ful for the assistance received from the Bible Society that g o has enabled us to take up and carry on this important work hitherto ] of each 2008 C.

By giving daily Scripture lessons in these schools, we seek to sow the good seed of the Word of God in the hearts of the children. We are con- vinced that this alone is the right and sure way by which gradually, as much as lies in our power, the thoughts and views of this people may be transformed, and they may become prepared for entrance into the Kingdom of God. Mr. Ziegler of Dharwar remarks on this subject: “The greatest pleasure I have in imparting Biblical instruction, is the opportunity afforded of representing to the scholars the There is no lack of oppor- glory of Christ and Christianity. tunities for so doing, and under God’s blessing, the fruit will not fail. Not that we look for many conversions; but we sow The seed will the seed, and mix the leaven into the meal. bring forth fruit in due season, and the leaven does and must take effect till the whole mass 1s leavened.” D. Literary work and Colportage. Some of our brethren are engaged exclusively in this work, as for example Mr. Kittel, who is preparing a Canarese- English Dictionary, Mr. Hirner, the Superintendent of the 1 Printing Establishment, and Mr. Huber, who is in charge of the Tract and Book Depository. Others again combine literary work with their other labours. Amongst these are 4! Mr. Walz, who edits the Sabhapatra, and Mr. Frohnmeyer, 118 Editor of the Kéralopakari and other publications. We have ) also several Committees for conducting this literary work. There are separate revision-committees for all our vernacular publications both in Canarese and Malayalam. A committee | is also employed in the work of the revision of the Tulu Scriptures, and finally the Press-Committee attends to the printing and sale of our publications. d fure The following is a list of the 1.

But although we have repeatedly ex- plained the object and nature of these Kstablishments, still we frequently meet with people who misunderstand our motives. We would therefore briefly remark in the first place, that these Establishments have not been called into existence by our Missionary Society, but by a separate Mercantile Com- mittee, which has however among its members a number of gentlemen who take a deep linterest in Mission-work, with the object of giving a means of livelihood to our converts; and secondly, that if profit is made in the business, the Mission- fund gets a part of it; this, however, is not by far so large as some people seem to think, for some of them, like other mercantile firms, have their losses. It is true that some of the Establishments were from the outset opened on a larger ) 2 o ) scale than was absolutely necessary for the purpose in view, and in consequence of this, a large number of heathen and Muhammedans find employment side by side with our Christians and candidates for baptism, but these however are brought é within the influence of the Gospel by means of the Scripture reading and prayer held every morning in our Kstablishments ) ) before work is begun. We know of instances in which these daily services have given the first impulse towards Christianity. 3 0 Our lay-brethren can also directly and indirectly do much for 49 the furtherance of Mission work. We are thankful to the Lord s for all that has been done in this direction, and trust that we may also in the future get faithful workers for this branch of the Mission. Faithfulness in little things the Lord will not leave unrewarded. » and \( Jore) ) a0 ont ab t hree and y €% gtil ofives that 0@ by (om per of h the ¢ 40 d jss100 ) Jarg? el ) Otl e ! ol Ji[§) 1€ I CANARA fo A South-Canard, ( o Area 3902 square miles.

The health of the FEuropean workers left much to be desired, especially that of Mr. and Mrs. Kittel, Mr. Glattfelder, Mrs. Pfleiderer, Ernst, and Daur, who had been poorly for a long time. Mr. and Mrs. Mdnner spent 4 months at Mercara during the monsoon, and Mr. and Mrs. Ott took their place in Mangalore. Besides his work in the Seminary Mr. Diez continued to take the Sunday evening service in St. Paul’s Church. He now leaves us on furlough. Mr. Ernst gave a portion of the theological lessons in the Seminary, and will in future have sole charge of elical the same. Nine students, who had finished their theological course in the Seminary, were set apart as Catechists by our Principal, the Rev. Th. Oehler (see last year’s Report, page 115) A new term commenced at the beginning of April with 22 of the former and 4 new students from the Udapi Middle School. No new candidates applied for admission from Malabar. Catechist Henry Roberts took the place of the Assistant Teacher Tvmotihy Furtado. The lessons were given regularly, and we gation hope that shortly a number of students will successfully pass their examinations. After the annual vacation Mr. S.

Towards the end of the year one was called away from our midst, whom we wish to remember in this report, viz: Mr. Lucas Joshua, who dates from the first period of our Mission, and who, from a simple cowherd rose to be one of the most 4 P 26 respected and esteemed members of our congregation. About S0 the the year 1840 he was sent to Madras and Bombay to learn bookbinding in order to make himself useful for our Press. all He at first conducted the bookbinding business on Mission tha In o] account under the supervision of the late Mr. Plebst. 1856 the work was handed over to him under certain condi- car Rs tions according to agreement, from which time he carried on the business on his own account and developed it to of | such a degree that at present 40 workmen are employed in It is not our intention to describe here in a8 b carrying 1t on. detail the way in which this good man worked himself up, but we feel bound to tell in these pages, as faithfully as possible, Gog what he himself communicated to us in the last days of his figh life: and this all the more, since we complain that so many con- Visit gregation-members who have grown up under the blessings Chry of Christianity and have attained to outward prosperity, yet 10f show an ungrateful spirit.

He then Oup indeed felt his end approaching, but neither he nor those G()Sp around him had the least presentiment that the summons would the come as quickly as it afterwards did. On Friday evening, hithe the 1st November 1889, he sent for me, saying he wished to speak COmI to me alone. He then related how in the year 1837 he, fron for the first time, saw a Missionary who had come to his native Quaxy village, near Uchila, accompanied by some Christian boys. He was then a cattle-boy, about 15 years old, and as such, I came to the Missionary on the occasion of another visit, and was received and cared for. All God’s dealings with him from his first interview with the Missionary up to the present mo- ment he had not forgotten, and would hold it in thankful re- membrance to the end of his life. As a poor sinner on whom T the Lord had compassion, he hoped to depart hence. He told me this because it had so often grieved him to see how 27 bout some members of the congregation had entirely forgotten Al their former state and had proved themselves ungrateful for Tess. all they had acquired through Christianity. He further wished 3101 that I would make use of what he had told me, should an In opportunity offer itself.

Though these gatherings afford us con- venient opportunities for the preaching of the Word, we can- not help thinking that the ground is not very favorable for the reception of the Divine seed. Most of the people come, hear for a little while, and go away. I rejoice therefore all the more, that the schools afford us an opportunity of giving heathen children a complete course of instruction in Scripture. I have not many victories to tell of. We live here in the days 30 ey of small things, still we are thankful that the Lord gives us fer opportunity for bringing the leaven of the Gospel among this at people.

The list of the dead is important, because several old Christians died, who are really a loss to our congregation. One of them, Johanna, who died of consumption, had been a faithful follower of Christ; she willingly and patiently bore the cross, which the Lord had laid upon her, and His Word had truly been a lamp unto her feet and a light unto her often dark and rugged I path. Also the former Cat. Nathanael and his faithful wife Rhoda (she was sister of the late bookbinder Lucas Joshua), two old and tried Christians, were taken from us last year. These two have left a gap in our congregation. Rhoda was a quiet motherly person and the friend of all. ey Nathanael was a believer who never failed to witness for his Master before the heathen, whenever occasion offered itself. His lky. death too was a bright witness for the congregation. He wished to depart in peace with all around, and so, before the end came, sent for different congregation-members, especially his nephews, and gave them all words of advice and admonition. The elder Jesaya, the first-fruit of Padur, was also taken from us. Of late years painful humblings had come over him and his household for a time; he seemed really blinded, yet at length the scales fell from his eyes, and he finally came to a right condition, making peace with all. On the occasion of my last visit to him, taking my hand in his he begged forgiveness. The following day I administered the Holy belp Sacrament to him, and a few days afterwards he died peace- shﬂ'k}" fully.

One of the orphan girls died of dysentery and was gathered, we trust, into the fold of the Good Shepherd. Our girls have as usual done work in the garden, the fields, the house, and the kitchen; and needle-work, super- intended by Mrs. Ott and Keppler, has not been neglected either. We are thankful to say that their general health was good on the whole, except that very many suffered from sore eyes. Evangelization. Itinerancy was carried on as much as possible, and 112 days were devoted to it by Europeans, and 515 by natives. The markets at Mulky and Padubidri, dif- forent heathen festivals, and gatherings for demon-worship were visited. Myr. Keppler with two Catechists also made two preaching tours to Sirsi and Subramanya. The Word of Life does not always meet with ready acceptance, as the heathen will resist and contradict.

He spent the month of September entirely among our Christians at Keilkeri to acquire the colloquial, which was indeed very helpful tohim. All the Catechists together were out 695 days on preach- ing tours. Although it cannot be said that a certain number of sermons were preached on each of these days, yet the fact remains that all this time was spent wholly and entirely among the heathen in visiting their villages, their homes, festivals, and markets. We had not so much to contend with by way of actual opposition as by stolid indifference with which the Brahmans try to get rid of us.

Digel reports: that Our chief work this year was, as before, the carrying on of heir ndu the Gospel message to the heathen. In the months of January and February I was kept at home on account of some building work. Towards the end of February we visited Sirsi, where a o1k grand festival of «Kali” was held, at which a number of 1408 buffaloes, from 300 to 400 of sheep, and 10,000 fowls were offered. To give one an idea of the enormity of these sacrifices, I would mention that a cistern into which the blood of the sacrifices flowed had to be emptied daily. Thousands of persons from all parts of the country collected together on this spot to offer their vows to the blood-thirsty «Kali”. For ecighteen days, morning and evening, were we able to proclaim the Word of Life to large and attentive crowds. October and November were again spent on the Ghauts at Sirsi and Siddhapore. The glad tidings find decidedly a better acceptance there than on the coast. On the whole we have little opposition to meet with; but the utter indifference of the people is indeed saddening. Our Snnincain ) 38 chief adversaries are the priests and those of the prostitute class. du This of course is to be expected, for the more we endeavour to 861 enlighten the people and point out to them the way of escape from this kind of slavery, all the more do these two classes (o find themselves pricked in their consciences; hence their a8 hatred. At a village 8 miles distant from this the heathen cultivators have commenced, on their own account, building lag a school and house for a teacher, both of which will soon be he ready. We shall then have one more Mission School in the thi district. Our work is a labour of patience and it behoves us to seek daily at the Throne of Grace for renewed courage Ags and forbearance.

I 41 The Kavery Hindu festival in October, although somewhat dis- turbed by much rain, offered a fair opportunity to proclaim the Gospel to many hundreds of visitors and to sell a good number of books and tracts.

Many of the coolies on the coffee-estates too were very attentive, and by their way of arguing proved that they understood the matter brought before them. The Coorgs show less susceptibility for the Gospel than the other inhabitants of Coorg, but the Word of God is preached to all classes of people in the country. ANANDAPUR. LRev. O.

The Congregation has increased from 173 to 191 members, chiefly owing to immigration and births.

Our reception herve in Dharwar itself has th £ not been so good as usual; we have had to meet with a good ton deal of opposition when we preached in the town which we el did several times a week, time and weather permitting.

Up- wards of 4000 books and tracts have been sold from this irls In station, and it is gratifying to see that the English publica- ad tions of the Christian Vernacular Education Society on Hindu Gl reform are always in demand.

One heathen family was baptised during the year. The Word of God showed its power in awakening a number of young and old members to realize what a Christian really should be. At the end of the year some, of their own accord, started a brotherly prayer-meeting among themselves, the members of which are zealous in reading and studying God’s Word and in conducting their meetings. On Sunday evenings some of them take part in bazaar-preaching, while others help by singing. May the Lord continue and prosper this work of grace which He has begun in our congregation, so that those who are still slumbering and have not yet realised their high calling in Christ Jesus, may be quickened and become shining lights in this heathen land.

At most of the villages the people listened willingly to our preaching; but the major- ity of the hearers are indifferent, and only a few showed fook a deeper interest in the message of the Gospel. In some (e villages near Hubli there are heathen, who have a pretty fair knowledge of the truth, but in others there is much ignorance. hiS p With In the southern Taluks of our district where the Gospel was il formerly seldom preached, the people generally accepted the Wag ‘ Missionaries and Catechists with great joy, and bought many hOme. e hem tracts.

Two families at Shagoti, who had joined the S. P. G., begged to be received again; their request was granted on certain conditions. Ou Schools. There are now 27 boys in the Orphanage. One period of the history of this school closes with the past year, inasmuch as the so-called famine-orphans have all gone through the Orphanage; so that in future it will bring up and educate chiefly the children of Christian parents. Only a small number of these famine-orphans have turned out well. What a call this is to us to pray earnestly for these needy ones that, in the future, all the work of Christian love be- stowed on them may yet bear fruit. About the Preparandi- and Normal-Schools we have nothing particular to report. To the praise of God be it here recorded that, whilst small-pox and cholera carried away many in our neighbourhood, the destroying angel passed over our Orphanage and Schools. Work among the heathen. The Missionaries spent 100 and the native helpers 277 days in preaching tours around the station.

We are glad to record some cases of conversion Visif Gl 53 from a sinful life to repentance, confession, and desire for more holiness and strength from above. The English services have been discontinued for want of attendance. Schools. We are glad to report a considerable increase in the number of pupils, and general improvement of our Parish Schools, owing to an improved and somewhat increased teaching staff. On the other hand, our Anglo-Vernacular school in Camp Bazaar has entered upon a critical time, which to a great extent is due to the increasing poverty of the place, but in some measure also to a stricter adherence frict to the principles of our Mission, according to which at least half the teaching staff should consist of Christian Masters, in order that the Christian character of the school might predominate, a principle, which, considering the Mission funds spent on this school, is certainly nothing but fair. We must, of course, leave it to the parents and guardians of our pupils, whether they will accept these principles or not. Our Home Committee, however, have come to the conclusion that they would rather discontinue the school than allow a departure from their approved principles for conducting schools of this kind. The Anglo-Vernacular Primary School at Taliparambu which from the commencement has been conducted in strict adherence to our principles, has proved a success in every way The pupils show great interest in the Bible Stories 1889. taught them, also secular education has, thanks to the pains ryed taken by masters and pupils, been so successful that not one of the pupils presented for Government examination has failed. )6013:1 Evangelization.

The Nayars in general are not unwilling hearers; but amongst them we find the self-compla- cency of the Sadducees, who while making the enjoyment of temporal pleasures their chief aim, leave the future to take care of itself. The poorer classes, though as a whole attentive to the glad tidings of a Saviour, consider themselves predestinated to the lot that has befallen them, and often with a feigned smile at the relief offered to them by the Lord’s message, think it better not to worry themselves with things, which (in spite of our assurances), in their opinion, escape from their hands in the same measure as they try to grasp them. Notwithstanding many discouragements, however, we conti- nue to work, trusting that a considerable portion of all the divine seed, that for half a century has been sown in these parts of North Malabar, will grow and bring forth fruit in the Lord’s set time.

The highest number of pupils in the Parsi-School amounted to 228.

On several occasions we were invited to their houses, which enabled us to preach the Gospel to the whole family. Though many heard the Word of God willingly, they were not so ) ready to accept its truth. Said a Hindu teacher once to me: ‘There is no doubt that the way to happiness can be found (er in all religions; still I cannot but admit that Christianity is lngy the best religion, although I would not recommend every one hiS W to embrace it, believing as I do that if a man is sincere in hlS 0 his own religion, he will be saved.’ A civil official remarked: (e ‘There is truth and error in the Hindu, the Mohammedan, and partu; the Christian religions. We must forsake error and accept We 8 the truth.” I put him the question: «Sir, will you be good B&dag enough to tell me what errors you have met with in the anq 0 Christian religion?

A woman whom we had most attentively nursed throughout a severe illness, and who was baptized at her own request, had no Ou sooner recovered than she secretly left us and returned to her former sinful life. Evangelization. Preaching to the heathen is carried on diligently and vigorously. The Word of God finds, on the whole, a ready hearing, but the caste and family ties, which hold many a silent seeker after truth, are too strong to be broken through, while at times fear of the landlord, who threatens to drive his tenants from their house and home, keeps people from becoming Christians. Myr. Hole tells of some of his experiences in this branch of Mission-work: = Many Hindus show a great lack of interest in our message, while we visit them in their homes. Whereas, so far as my experience goes, the Maplas are all attentive, and especially do they seem thoroughly in earnest to under- stand what we have to tell them. This we painfully miss among Hindus. The reception of the Word proclaimed at markets, bazaars, and idol-festivals is much the same as above mentioned, only with this exception that on these occasions we have more inter- l‘ep(); ruptions caused by idle questions and unruly behaviour es- 00g pecially on the part of young people. Whilst the Maplas treat us friendly in their own houses, they on these oc- ) IS casions evince a contrary spirit and distinguish themselves Sl by unbounded mockery.

These boys, it is true, paid lower fees, but they were the victims of the pupil-teachers for the benefit of their 31&8& trial-lessons.

Mr. Peter reports on ching this work as follows: “We have 3 classes of people to deal caled with: (1) those who believe in fate, (2)the would-be-learned, 0 1 and (3) the mockers of religion. And fourthly I would, in accordance with the parable of our Lord, leave place for the ining good and sincere omes. We visited a number of heathen ; Was festivals, and can tell of very noticeable progress, inasmuch as we were able to preach without interruption of any kind. f the noted It very often happens that those who put questions get very findu suitable answers from among the audience, and disturbers are corrected from the same quarter. ‘But what good will come ChOOL n the out of it all?” we are inclined to ask. The people listen, Yet the they assent; but remain, what and where they are. t th?)' Master bids us be faithful in His work, when certainly our heit Ay labour will not be in vain.” i the Our itinerating Catechist Nathanael tells of a special place for preaching being put up for them, and how they were laYing 0 in able to preach the Gospel to a large number of workmen till Gl 62 late on in the night. At Malapuram we had a long discourse with a Government Official. He said: It is true, I mean to keep to my Hindu religion, though I know full well that after another generation we shall all have become Christians. The children I see preparations towards this end already”. in the Heathen Schools take a lively interest in the learning of Bible Stories and texts, whilst their mothers are being made acquainted with the Gospel through the Bible- 0] by women who visit their homes. An old woman of 70, being told by the Bible-woman of a Saviour for sinners, exclaimed: Tng “That is just what I need; for I wish to be freed from all tog my sins.” And many a woman has confessed to praying to deg Jesus and expecting salvation through Him. “:01\ Literary Work.

As a rule, such unfortunate patients are first taken to the heathen sorcerers, and, strange Oy to say, these are the very ones who send these patients to me. Very often a large number of people accompany such patients out of curiosity and sympathy, thereby affording us a grand opportunity for telling them of the Great Physician. A Nayar bitten by a poisonous snake was brought to me the other day from Coilandy. We at once got the impression that he was a dying man. The sorcerers had already given him up, and as a last resource he was sent to me.

A happy s and event was the baptism of the wife of Joseph at Kerehada. ‘iﬂ the (Cf. last year’s Report page 84.) We are glad to say that Daniel’s wife also is under instruction now. d qowi The death of two old Christians was felt much, as they 3 pl’aise had been examples of faithfulness throughout their Christian 9% 683 R RAr course in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation. One of them, Solomon Bira, had become a Christian 22 years ago, T —— As his and suffered persecution for the name of Christ. house was in the middle of the row of Badaga houses in Chogatoray, his fellow-villagers tried to drive him out of it, and as they did not succeed, they built a wall round it to prevent his seeing or speaking to anybody and left only a ; very small entrance for him. For 20 years he had been the only Badaga Christian in the village, and though the heathen villagers tried his patience to the utmost and annoyed him in every possible way, he bore it patiently. He was a peaceful and humble Christian who received courage and strength from above to endure faithfully all his trials. When the heathens saw that they failed to drive him away, they tried to persuade him to leave the village, promising to build him a new house somewhere else and to give him a certain amount of money besides; but he rejected all such offers, saying in a meek but firm way: «I cannot give up my father’s inheritance, please let me live in peace here. I will not hurt your feelings, nor j do wrong to any one.” In all his conduct he was a personal 3 exemplification of the Word of Jesus: “Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” For nearly 20 years he was a schoolmaster in the Mission and in his later years had to walk every day 6 miles, as his school at the Kateri village 3] was 9 miles from his own. By the faithful performance of his duties and the kind yet firm way of treating his pupils, he won the estimation of his superiors and the love of the heathen boys whom he instructed. One of the latter, in grateful remembrance of what he had learned from his teacher presented him, not long before his death, with a gold bordered turban. During the last months of his life he suffered much from illness and longed to be with Jesus. His end was peaceful, and with him also the words of St. Paul were sl i 53 A 69 verified that ¢«through much tribulation we must enter into the kingdom of God.” The other, removed to the Church triumphant, is the aged ) mother of our Cat. Karl. She had been a widow for many 'y years, such a one as St. Paul (1. Tim. 5, 5) writes of, who set her hope on God and continued in supplications and prayers night and day. She had brought up her children 14 in the love and fear of the Lord, and reaped also the fruit of such good seed, viz: love and honour. Whenever I had occasion to observe how she was loved and honored by her 1l children, I could not help thinking with joy and thankfulness that this was also a fruit grown by the Christian spirit. Her 1§ children held her as a valuable treasure and regarded her lo highly for her devoted prayers and the wise advice she always 0 gave. Even the neighbouring heathens esteemed her much. ) On her deathbed, having blessed her children she called to her bedside one Badaga who was standing by; he had been a candi- 1t 56 date for baptism for some time, but owing to the threats and hostilities of his village-people had been wavering lately. She O al exhorted him in a very touching way, and when he promised 1 to be steadfast and faithful to Jesus, she blessed him too and said she wished to see him again in the glorious home which 0 Jesus had prepared for His faithful ones. About half a year after her death this man was baptized with his family on the g day of the consecration of the simple, but suitable, chapel at 0l Is Hulikallu in the presence of a number of English friends who greatly encouraged us by their kind sympathy. Nothwistand- he 1n ing various oppressions on the part of the heathen neighbours his this family has up to this time held out bravely. The con- version of this family is the direct fruit of the Cooly-Mission ld o upon which Catechist Karl bestows his chief strength and time. Regularly every month he preached to the coolies on )nd 13 plantations, and occasionally on 10 others. pre i 70 Schools.

All the schools are visited regularly every month. Five pupils of the Kota school in Kollimalli passed the Primary Examination in Ootacamund; this is the first time that boys of this low and timid tribe have appeared at a public examination. Seven left in the course The Orphanage had 14 pupils. of the year, four of whom were employed as teachers after they had been trained in the Normal School. Forty-four day-scholars attend the school. At the public examinations in Ootacamund, in December 1889, five boys passed the Pri- Besides mary and 6 boys the Special Primary Examination. this school there are 13 Primary Schools in the district for the heathen hill-tribes with an aggregate of 270 children; six are in the Mekanad, six in the Todanad, and one in the Kundah district. The latter, which is the only school in that part of fi the Nilagiris, was opened in October 1889, P The Cooly-Mission was carried on by Cat. Karl Sotyanatha, who starting from Avoca, visited a number of plantations around. i We take this opportunity of thanking the kind friends who contributed Rs. 226 towards this work. Mr. §f Liitze, in connection with the Cooly-Mission, spent 61 days in fi visiting plantations and Badaga villages in the Mekanad and i Kundah districts; the Catechists travelled 271 days.

There have been no changes in the station-staff, 2l excepting that Joseph Hiria, who up to that time had been a of teacher in the Orphanage, was appointed Asst. Catechist on probation, and though at first prevented from visiting the i, more distant places on account of the south-west monsoon, he has since done so. 0§ Congregation, The congregation in Kotagiri and out- ud Il stations shows a small increase of members, 5 being additions 1 from the heathen. One of these was the wife of Stephen nd mentioned in a former Report, as giving him great trouble, and who after an obstinate resistance of 3 years became so he far subdued, that she requested baptism After 3 years of converts at Jakka- untold trouble on account of the Badaga i4 nare, as alluded to in two former Reports, one of them, Abra- pre ham, succeeded by God’s help in purchasing a good piece of land near his village, on which he is now building a house, and hopes eventually to settle down there with his family. 72 Sl Ll The Asst. Catechist Christian has been stationed on the same 0u spot, it being at the same time most favourably situated for K al work among the heathen Badagas, and thus the mother-station has been strengthened by a valuable out-post, within easy reach it of all the Badaga villages southwards of the Kotagiri bazaar. 10 We were able to build a house at Kodanaad, which serves as school and chapel for the Tamil Christians employed on the al tea-estates there, and which we trust will make our ministry S to the Christians there more profitable than has hitherto been al possible. We are much obliged to the gentlemen on the to Kodanaad Estate for their valuable assistemce in the esta- m blishment of this out-station. The Schools comprise the Orphanage at Kotagiri with st 40 pupils, and 7 village-schools (5 for Badagas, 1 for Kotas, Ba and 1 for Tamil Christians) comprising a total of 145 pupils, th and an increase of 31 against last year. The girl Pichi, an inmate of the Orphanage, was baptised at her own request, and is now called Tabitha. The conversion at Milidenu of a Badaga youth, who however had not been a pupil in our school there, caused great excitement, and the people de- manded from the schoolmaster that the Bible lesson in the school should be given up. But on being told that with the Bible lesson, the school too would be given up, they withdrew their demand. The Bible lesson is not smuggled into the schools; every one knows that it is an integral part of the instruction of a Mission school, and this is always explained to the people when they desire any school to be established. The pupils enjoy this lesson very much. This work is carried on in a circle of about Evangelization, 30 villages, within a distance of from 1 to 3 miles around Kotagiri, the gatherings at funerals affording the best op- portunities for adressing large numbers of Badagas.

After having gone through the Primary and Middle-School of his native place, he was confirmed in the year 1867. fo In 1872 he entered the Mercantile Branch of our Mission and was 1S sent out to Mangalore in 1873. In 1877 he was married to 48 Maria Christen from Schoftland in Switzerland. In the year 1884 he had to take charge of the Jeppu Tile-Works for a time, while the k manager of it went to Europe on furlough, until in 1885 he in his pli turn had to go home with his family on account of the weakened al state of his own and his wife’s health. After his return to India in i December 1886 the management of the new Tile-Works in Kudroli I was entrusted to him, which he undertook with much diligence 0y and interest. What joy it gave him, if any of his workmen (r asked for instruection previous to being baptized; he had their By salvation always at heart and never forgot them in his prayers. j Last year a mew gas-oven had to be built, and after finishing h this difficult work, he felt very tired and languid for some time, so that he was thinking of a change to the Nilagiris to recruit his al strength; but the Lord was going to give him eternal rest. ki He broke down completely, and on Tuesday before Ascension-day the th doctor pronounced his illness to be malarial fever and wished the W patient to be taken from Kudroli to the higher Balmattha.

He leaves a widow and three children deeply mourning I his loss. fo John Layer was born at Affalterbach (Wiirttemberg) on the 20th of June 1812. His pious parents brought him up in the fear of God, and even to his latest years he was most thankful for their Christian influence and their example of true Christian living. As a young h 75 boy he was quite familiar with the truths of the Bible and knew by heart a great many beautiful hymns, for which he had a remarkable memory, and already then was he so deeply impressed by the life of Jesus, particularly his sufferings and death, that he shed tears at again and again. His father, who was a man of prayer and to nd whose heart the kingdom of God was very near, several times said b7 to him, that he would consider it a great privilege if the Lord would yas use him, his only son, as a servant in His vineyard. He grew up {0 as a follower of Jesus, and in early years made the acquaintance of 84 men of faith and mighty instruments of God, particularly the well- the known Rev. L. Hofacker, whose powerful sermons made a great s impression on him. One day he read in a “Mission Paper’ an ted article entitled : “Beside yourself.” In this article young Christian m men were urged to serve the Lord in the Mission. He asked roli himself: “Ought I not perhaps to give myself up to this work ?”’ prayed 16 over it, spoke to his father about it, offered his services to the 61 Committee of the B. E. M. S. and entered the Mission College in 1831, el From 1831 to 1836 he studied in the Mission College in Basel. He 18 spoke of this time as a time of rich blessing for his innner life and ing his Christian knowledge. 80 In 1836 he was sent to India, stayed a few months in Mangalore, Jus and from there went to Dharwar in South-Mahratta. Here he oSt worked faithfully and with great zeal for the Lord. Preaching to the heathen in and about Dharwar and itinerating was his chief the the work; but he also founded some schools and often held services for fo the English residents in Dharwar, among whom he had some very on dear friends. of His testimonies for the Lord, his great kindness, love, and ear- nestness left a deep impression on many people. Years after he L dst had left Dharwar, many heathens spoke of him with touching reverence. In 1842 he was married to Miss Emily Wornle and ing found in her a partner who with him faithfully served the Lord and 0th worked with him in happy days as well as in days of affliction with much devotion to our heavenly Master. m& By and bye the climate affected his health, and though he would i g have gladly stayed longer, and with his wife felt leaving his be- 10% _76 L loved work very much indeed, the state of his health obligéd him to return to Germany in 1849, but he confidently hoped to come i back again. However his hope was not fulfilled, he recovered very slowly, and it was not advisable for him to return to India. But the Lord had already prepared work for him. He accepted a call to b the pastorage in Wilhelmsdorf (Wiirttemberg) and also in later years considered it a great grace and kindness from the Lord that He had given him just this post in His vineyard. For 37 years, though for the first years in bodily weakness, he was allowed to minister to his congregation, and was a great blessing to many, b} many souls. Though his work was at home, his heart and his 0 love were very much in the Mission, and he was very happy that 6 of a) his children were allowed to enter into Mission-work. 4 On New Year’s day he preached his last sermon with wonderful h freshness and strength, and nobody would have thought that he, hg whose active spirit glowing in the service of the Lord seemed to lift the weak body above time and the grave, was preaching for the last o time. On the 4th of January he did not feel well at all, the wide- spread influenza took hold of him, and he said to himself that it was a e strong attack on hkis weak bodily strength. As he could take no nourishment, his strength was soon exhausted, and on the eve of the al 10th very little hope for his precious life was entertained. In the Se week of prayer most fervent supplications were sent up to the throne ba of the Almighty to preserve his life. But God haddecided otherwise. o The night between the 10th and 11th of January was his last night. Wi He blessed three of his grand-children with wonderful strength. JO When his eldest son asked him: “But, dear papa, will you soon leave it us?”’ he answered slowly and solemnly: “Yes, it seems so,” and said : g8 “Tell mamma, that I remained unfaintingly steadfast to the end.” 1 ““And what shall we (Mrs. Layer was herself very ill at the time.) Tt tell our brothers and sisters?”’ “ He who was the parents’ help will thy also be the children’s help, and He will not rest till we all meet again a0 yonder.” Once he said: “Stream of life”, another time ¢ Vietoria’. By When his son asked him: “Papa, have you still any wishes to thy express?” He answered:. “Many” and turning to the head-member Sin of the congregation, who was like a son to him, he continued: “The lﬂg _77 e Lord Himself muét supply everything. I should have liked to stay 16 longer with the congregation, but if the Lord’s will is otherwise, then Ly He knows that He does not require me any longer.” For every one e around him he had still a kind look or word, and great calm and {0 blessed peace was around him. Those of his children as were er present, repeated to him Bible-passages and his favourite hymns, ab which greatly strengthened him; he often repeated the last strophe, 3, or asked them to continue. He also said: “It is quite finished fo now bR When the end drew quite near, at 9 p.m. of the 11th, his Y, sickroom and the adjoining room gradually filled with members 118 of the congregation who were allowed to be present at the victorious of and peaceful end of their beloved minister.

Joseph We Tellicherry there were about 35 Christians belonging to it. then entered the service of Mr. Fennel. There Hebich became ill Il acquainted with him in 1841, and afterwards took him to his house.

It was in 1850 that Hebich with his little band of champions, as he used to call his native helpers, went to the heathen festival of Payawur, where they re- mained for a week and were able to preach the Gospel to thousands. The temple-priests with some sorcerers on two consecutive days g tried to set the elephants at them. “The first time one of the keepers g tried with all his might to set his animal at us, we were standing gl on a slope and the elephant did not obey, but ran to the opposite side. On the following day they brought 4 large elephants and W bore down on us as we were preaching. The listening crowd dis- 50 persed and 2 of the elephants passed us closely and the two others pe turned behind us. The Lord had protected us, and the people were W very much astonished that no disaster had happened to us. From al) Payawur we went to the festival at Taliparambu; one of the €01 elephant-keepers from Payawur had also come there to hear the he Gospel, as he said, for one of the 4 elephants there had died before Py the festival had come to an end, so that many people said, this 10 was the punishment of the God whom Hebick preached.” In Tali- an parambu also resistance by force was tried, yet they were not dis- ho couraged by it, but went on preaching and praying. As real of soldiers grow in strength and courage during the fight, so it was with them. In 1850 a tour to the East as far as Palghaut was undertaken. On this occasion a great many tracts were sold, and before great crowds they bore witness of the love of God through Christ Jesus, so that they returned home full of joy and gratitude. In the same year Jacobi was married, but his wife died after about one year. In 1852 Hebich intended to undertake another preaching tour to Palghaut and from there to the Nilagiris, but wished Joseph to marry again before he accompanied him. This he did, but his second wife too died of cholera in 1854, and he mourned her loss very deeply, but also experienced the consolation of the Lord. In the beginning of 1855, Hebick took Joseph's younger brother David into his service, but on his first preaching tour he was struck down by cholera and died near Coimbatore. In 1856 Joseph had 79 e fo Later on he did service in to help at the settlement of Chovva. nt different congregations, till he was transferred to Codacal in 1866, ich where he had to take charge of the congregation as their pastor. V6 At the end of his auto- He was ordained there on the 29th July. I8 biography, which he gave on this occasion, he said, “I beg all those ds here present, to pray for me, that in taking charge of this holy office Y8 with zeal and faithfulness it may be for the blessing of the congre- o8 gation as well as the heathen, so that the name of the Lord may be ing glorified by it.” For 10 years he worked in that congregation under 1t God’s blessing, then he was transferred to Calicut and 3 years after- and wards sent to Coilandy. Several fits of apoplexy weakened him dis so much that he was unable to go on with his work and had to be 1618 pensioned in 1888. He spent his last days with his children in 610 ‘Wadagara. It was for him a great joy to see some of our Mission- 100 aries before bis death, though he was already so weak, that he the could make himself hardly understood by them. On July the 17th he called his family around him, asking them to read him some E Psalms and Isaiah 53. On the 24th of July Mr. Hole administered this to him the Holy Supper, and on the 25th at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, 4l amidst the singing of some hymns chosen by himself for his death- dis hour, he expired.
