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

This Institution at Mangalore,

ground for all our Catechists, 4. e., natives educated to preach

But unfortunately in our Mission-field we have

Except however in very urgent cases,

this has never been done. The Malayalis have generally been

those from the Tulu country (South-Canara) very frequently

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

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.)

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

Stations, and as such, the salt and light of the congregations.

A new generation is gradually taking their place, most of

i

of the world, but have enjoyed all the privileges conferred

upon them through the medium of Church and School.

They

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

that things develop so slowly and not in the very way they

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

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

Further information about these schools will be found in

the School-census on pages 8 and 9.

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

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

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.

Our Weaving Establishments in Mangalore, Cannanore, and

leay

Calicut, as well as our Tile-Worksin Kudroli, Jeppu (Mangalore),

Malpe (Udapi), and Calicut are too well known to require any

detailed description, as also our Carpentry Establishment at

Calicut, our Mechanical Workshop at Mangalore, and three

Mercantile Mission-Branches at Mangalore, Mercara, and

Calicut respectively. 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.

report:

Agency. 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

The Rev. J. Hermelink reports:

sion,

The chief work at this station is preaching to the heathen.

By desire of some Hindu inhabitants we have opened schools

for the heathen in several villages, which, of course, need to be

looked after.

In the

months of April and May chiefly several heathen festivals

are held in this southern district, each of which lasts from

4 to 5 days and affords ample opportunity for the preaching

b o

of the Gospel. Last year there was at Adur a grand temple-

consecration. A temple of Mahalinga was destroyed by light-

ning 3 years ago.

The Raja of Maypadi had it rebuilt at a

Some

Others said, the greatness and power of their god

building covered with a copper roof and raze it to the ground!

Many testified to the vanity of idolatry and listened to our

tradictions at these idol-festivals, but we did not meet this

year with the open enmity and contemptuous treatment of

former occasions.

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

place, the number of our congregation shows a decrease of 9

y of

members, due to the fact that some of the Christians had to

0u8

leave their very poor homes to find work elsewhere.

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-

Schools. Mulky and its out-stations héwe, hesides the Orpha-

976 of whom are heathen.

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.

Mr. Gengnagel writes as follows:

The out-station Barkur was transferred from Udapi to

Basrur.

I divided my time between itinerating (120 days)

congregation, and school-work. My. Risch gave himself entirely

to the study of Canarese the first part of the year.

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.

There is no doubt that

the new school of Hindus exert themselves not a little in their

{h

newspapers and tracts to patch up, if one may so say, the Hindu

religion and cast a slur on Christianity.

al

In conclusion, I would here mention with thanks that the

e

I

Apothecary of Kundapur, Mr. Francis, has visited our Christians

in cases of sickness and treated them gratuitously.

Myr. 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 )

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.

Oftentimes are we inclined to cry out:

Of\

«“How long, Oh Lord, shall the night last!” But since we know

Mr. Hajfner reports:

The native working staff has been increased by two Cate-

chists, Gabriel Premaye and Satyanatha Swmanta, the first

for itinerant-preaching and the latter for the cooly-mission.

In the months of February and March of last year, Mr.

Hafner was, as already mentioned in our last Report, very

sick. By the grace of the Lord and the very kind and valu-

able assistance of Dr. Marsden, he recovered, aud a stay

at Bangalore during a part of the monsoon made him fit

for work again.

As the superintendence of the Congregation in Mercara,

consisting of 102 souls with a school for native children, does

the

not take up the whole time of the Missionary and Catechists,

a good deal of work was done among Hindus, in Mercara, in

North-Coorg villages, and among the coolies in the coffee-

The Catechists spent 308 days on preaching tours.

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.

In Fraserpet, Ramaswamikanive, and

Somavarpet many of the inhabitants listened to the proclama-

tion of the good tidings with evident interest.

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.

The Vernacular Boys’ School, which is chiefly attended by

Congregation.

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.

The attendance of the children at our Parochial

The Chris-

Congregation,

Rev. Solomon Bhaskar reports:

tian walk of the congregation members was, on the whole,

satisfactory. Many, it is true, conduct themselves unseemly

and do not willingly accept reproof, especially when they are

of opinion that they should receive more outward help. Two

families at Shagoti, who had joined the S. P. G., begged to

be received again; their request was granted on certain

conditions.

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

Not only were we, as a rule, received in a friendly

news, by the large number of tracts purchased from us.

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

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

The day was one of great rejoicing to

Many from neigh-

The highest number of pupils in the Parsi-School

amounted to 228.

The Inspector of Schools who examined it

in the month of October, expressed his satisfaction, and in his

official report later on, he states: «The school is doing very fair

work.” The Normal School had a maximum of 28 pupils.

Since January last it has been raised to the standard of a

Christian High School.

The Teacher’s Seminary contained 5 pupils, 3 of whom

reports on this work as follows: «“The people were friendly,

many heard the Word of God willingly, they were not so

A civil official remarked:

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

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

verified that ¢«through much tribulation we must enter into

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

gave.

Even the neighbouring heathens esteemed her much.

On her deathbed, having blessed her children she called to her

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.

OBITUARY.

m

o

Rudolf Hauri

was born on the 25th December 1852 at

a

Hirschthal, Switzerland. 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.

A few

fh

days afterwards we saw that his end was approaching, and on

d

Sunday the 2nd June in the afternoon amidst the prayers of

those around him, he breathed his last, falling asleep in Jesus.

il

None of us had thought that he would be taken from our midst

S0 Soon.

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

_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

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.

They all knelt down

and among the prayers of his dearest ones he slumbered peacefully

beyond, to awake in the eternal dwellings of peace which God

has prepared for those who love Him.

There Hebich became

acquainted with him in 1841, and afterwards took him to his house.

By a sermon on Matthew iii, 7: “Who has warned you to flee from

10

the wrath to come ?”

Joseph was brought to the knowledge of his

sinfalness, but received into his heart soon. afterwards the comfort-

———

was his only desire to love the Lord who had loved him first, to

serve Him, to live and die for Him, and he became Hebich’s constant

companion on his preaching tours.

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

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

pensioned in 1888.

He spent his last days with his children in

Conclustion.

After having first given a general outline of our

work and then passed in review each station separately,

and having now thought over all the mercies and loving

kindness of our God, as well as our own weakness and

f

shortcomings and having felt assured that in spite of

our infirmities and deficiencies the Lord has favoured

us to work in His vineyard, we cannot but exclaim with

the Psalmist: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not

all His benefits, who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who

A5

healeth all thy diseases”.

On the other hand when we

I

think of the work carried out by and through us, we

Col

must above all acknowledge and confess how very little

Lo

and insignificant it is in our eyes, so that we wish ten,

yea a hundred, times more had been done.

May God

permit us to see more fruit of our labour in future to the

Hig;

glory of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
