Introduction.

— T RANADT—

é% said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength

for nought and vanity: yet surely my judgment is with

the Lord and my recompense with my God.

is. 497

There are probably few servants of the Lord who have

never had occasion to join in this strain of lamentation with

the archtype of the Lord’s servants, Christ himself. Especially

when reviewing a year’s labour, and remembering the many

disappointments we have met with, noticing the slowness of

the progress and marking the retrograde steps that seem to

have been made here and there, we are tempted to lament.

Yet it is only the Lord who can judge whether progress or

the opposite has taken place, whether we have been ¢“good

and faithful, or wicked and slothful” servants.

Let us there-

fore set the example of Christ before our eyes, like Him work-

ing while it is day and leaving the issue in His hands.

Before beginning our report we would thankfully mention

the refreshing visit of the Rev. R. Grundemann, »o.po., a

widely known German minister and zealous worker for the

mission work at home, who at the close of a lengthened tour

through India, undertaken solely for the purpose of getting

more thoroughly acquainted with Indian missions, also visited

some of our stations in the month of February 1891 and

“strengthened our hands in God.”

13

And now we will give a short account of the work done

in other fields of our Society, on the Gold Coast and the

German territory of Cameroon in Western Africa, and in the

province of Canton in the Chinese empire. In the following

table we give an abstract of it.

——

We lament the death of Mrs. Baumann, the wife of

Mr. Bawmann who is in charge of the Jeppu Tile-Works.

She died of dysentery on the 8th July at Jeppu.

Our veterans, Mr. and Mrs. Minner, as mentioned in

last year’s report, left India for Germany in February 1891

after more than 34, (respectively 30) years of service. Soon

afterwards on the 25th April 1891 Mr., Mdinner went to his

last rest. (See Obituary.) Besides them Mr. and Mrs. Digel,

Mr. and Mrs. Krapf, Mr. and Mrs. Hirner, Mr. and Mrs.

Fischer, Mr. and Mrs. Eisfelder, Mr. and Mrs. Schmolck,

Mr. and Mrs. Limbach, Mr. and Mrs. Daur, Mr. Pfleiderer

and Miss Hofmann had to leave us in the course of the year,

most of them with the hope of returning after they have re-

covered their health.

On the other hand we were glad to

welcome back to India the veteran Missionaries Mr. and Mrs.

Diez who arrived in December and were stationed at Kasaragod,

Mr. Elsisser who returned in February and took charge of

the new tile-works at Codacal, Mrs. Elsisser who followed

her hushand in November, when Mr. Benner at Calicut also

had the pleasure of welcoming his wife back to India.

Mr. and Mrs. Dilger returned to Tellicherry in February, Mr.

and Mrs. Warth to Guledgudd in November, and My. Feuchter,

this time accompanied by a dear partner, returned in the

same month and took charge of the new tile-works at Codacal.

Mr. Elsisser had to release Mr. Pfleiderer at Mangalore

in his work of General Agent and Treasurer of our Indian

Mission.

Mr. Pfleiderer, we are sorry to say, will not be

able to return to India on account of Mrs. Pfleiderer’s health

which cannot stand the Indian climate.

My. Glattfelder, who

returned to India towards the end of the year, took charge of

the tile-works at Jeppu.

Of new arrivals we had the pleasure to welcome Mr. Stamm,

who arrived in February and took charge of the Book and

15

—————

Tract Depository and the Publishing Branch of ouf Mission-

work at Mangalore, and Messrs. Singer, Stier, Jung, Boas

and Kessler, stationed at Dharwar, Hubli, Mangalore and

Calicut respectively.

Messrs. Gotz at Karkala, Altenmiiller,

Huber and Buchli at Mangalore, Bader at Tellicherry, Volz

at Calicut, and Lutz at Guledgudd, were gladdened by the

arrival of their betrothed, Miss Dietrich, now Mrs. Gitz,

Miss Efteiderer, now Mrs. Altenmiiller, Miss Schenkel, now

Mrs. Huber, Miss Rietz, now Mrs. Buchli, Miss Laisle, now

Mrs. Bader, Miss Hirsch, now Mrs. Volz, and Miss Sutter

2

now Mrs. Lutz.

May all these new-comers be of those who

are appointed by our Lord Jesus Himself «“that they shall

go and bear fruit and their fruit shall abide.”

As regards the general state of health, the year under

report has been better than the preceding one, only at Calicut

the state of health both of Europeans and natives was worse

than last year, Mr. Matthissen was suffering for 3 months

from typhoid fever, which reduced his strength so much that

he had to spend the latter half of the year on the Hills.

Mr. and Mrs. Peter also had to pass 4 months on the Nilgiri

Hills.

As usual, the medical gentlemen of the different stations

have most kindly attended to our sick, and we would especi-

ally express our hearty thanks to Dr. W. 4. Lee, Surgeon Major,

and Mr. R. Peter, Pensioned Dresser at Mangalore, Mr. 4. F.

Matthias, Apothecary at Bantwal,

Mr. Gaskoyne, Apothecary,

and Mr. Francis at Udipi,

My B, Colago, Apothecary at

Kasaragod, Dr. Howell at Honavar, Dr. McConaghy, Dr.

Channer and Dr. McCalman at Dharwar, Dr. Cardoz at

Hubli, Dr. C. F. Peters at Bijapur, Dr. G- F. Poynder at

Cannanore, Mr. Verghese, Apothecary, Mr. Cannan, Apothecary,

at Wadagara, Mr. Abraham Kuttuparamben, Dresser, at Vani-

yankulam, who lent their medical assistance most kindly

16

e

and devotedly and for the most part gratuitously to the

missionaries and often also to native workers and native

Christians of the respective stations.

native workers are in charge of churches, though they oc-

casionally preach to the heathen also either in their stations

or on preaching tours; two of them only are entirely occupied

with itinerary preaching, Mr. Daniel Aaron at Udipi and

Mr. Cornelius Hutten at Tellicherry.

Their

number is 112 against 115 last year, viz. 5 evangelists,

94 catechists, 13 assistant catechists.

The evangelists are

entirely set aside for itinerary preaching; the catechists are

variously employed; some have the important task of helping

in the training of their countrymen for the work of the

Lord, being employed as managers and assistants in the

different institutions established for the purpose of educating

and training catechists and schoolmasters; others assist the

missionaries in ministering to the native churches or have

charge of out-stations; not a few are employed as teachers,

especially religious teachers in Anglo-Vernacular and Verna-

cular Schools.

The assistant catechists are mostly occupied in preaching

to the heathen.

Arrangements have been made for assembl-

ing the catechists and assistant catechists of each station

for some hours once a month, when they receive further in-

monthly course of instruction, there is also a yearly one

to which all the catechists and assistant catechists under

45 years of age assemble at a convenient centre round the

chairman of the district committee and one or two other

missionaries.

This course generally lasts 4 days or a week,

and comprises both theoretical and practical instruction and

training in dogmatics, exposition of the Bible, church history,

preaching, catechizing, etc.

The number of

3. Schoolmasters and Schoolmistresses.

Christian schoolmasters is 150 against 136 last year, that of

the schoolmistresses is 45, the same as last year, whereas

the number of non-christian schoolmasters is 3 less than last

year. Our object is to employ only Christians as schoolmasters;

but various causes make it impossible for the present, and

probably for years to come, to attain to that object.

first place the number of qualified Christian young men

available, especially for higher employments, is not sufficient

as yet, because, as a matter of course, most of the gifted

young men up to a recent date used to flock to the seminary

for catechists, where the education is gratis; in the second

place we are often loath to dismiss a non-christian master, who,

perhaps, for many years has been doing his work faithfully

and to our satisfaction; lastly it is sometimes necessary in

elementary schools, in order to procure a good attendance,

to employ a non-christian master who is known to and trusted

by the inhabitants.

The further improvement of the schoolmasters is attended

to by the missionaries in charge of the respective schools, but

especially by the Inspectors of the Mission Schools of the

districts, who gather all the masters of their respective districts

once a year for a week’s course of studies.

Colporteurs.

Their number is 14.

2. The Work done.

A. The Native Church.

The number of baptized Christians in our Indian mission-

field has now passed the first ten thousand, amounting to

10365 ; the increase during the last year has been 479, and

we have had the privilege of baptizing 195 adults and 156

children from among the heathen, nearly double the number

of 1890.

The stations Codacal and Udipi have had the

greatest number of converts (153 and 80 respectively).

It is

especially the Codacal station to which our eyes are now

directed with thankfulness for the blessing granted, and with

hopes, not unmixed with anxiety, for the future.

As mentioned in last year’s report, we were enabled in

1890 to begin the manufactory of grooved tiles on a small

scale at that station, in order to enable those who, on becoming

Christians, have lost their means of subsistence, to earn their

livelihood by honest labour.

In consequence of this step,

many who before had dreaded to become Christians, because

they could not see their way to the support of themselves and

their families, took courage and flocked to the place, so that,

after 153 had been received into the church of Christ, there

were still, at the beginning of this year, 130 under instruction.

There are, no doubt, not a few among them who, like the

inquirers of whom we read in John 6, care more for the loaves

and fishes than for Jesus; yet there is certainly not a small

number of those who seek the kingdom of God and His

righteousness.

And if the seekers after the mean things of

this world, like Saul of old, find a kingdom, who will not

19

Lot

rejoice ?

May the time soon come when ¢a little one shall

become a thousand and a small one a strong nation.”

We

are still longing and praying for the outpouring of the spirit

of God on our churches, so that the large number of those

who are now dead in sin, and are a hindrance and a reproach

to the church of God, and a stumbling block to the heathen

around them, may be made “unto God a sweet savour of

Christ”; but we know also that it is not enough to pray and

wait, but that it is our duty to be up and doing, preaching

the Word, so as to give a clear sound “to be instant in season

and out of season, to reprove, rebuke and exhort with all

long-suffering and doctrine.”

B. Evangelisation.

Method. Preaching to the heathen is the main object of

every missionary and native assistant.

But many are engag-

ed in pastoral or school work, and have little or no time for

this; others, being tied to their stations and unable to travel,

devote their evenings to street-preaching or visiting houses;

happy are those who can give their whole time to the work

of evangelisation!

There has been a number of such in the

past year also, and many are the fairs and festivals at which

the Gospel has been preached, numberless the villages and

single homesteads and houses that have been visited.

Reception.

As to the manner in which the preachers and

their message are received Mr. Wardelich at Hubli reports—

«As regards the work among the heathen here and in the

neighbourhood, the impression that the Gospel is working

powerfully among the people in the manner of the leaven has

never been so strong on me as of late.

This working and

leavening does not, as one would wish, always immediately

result in numerous conversions, but often the contrary, in

contradiction, opposition, yea in words of venomous hatred

3%

P

against Christianity, and especially against the name of Jesus

Christ.

Let the preacher declaim ever so much on the vanity

and folly of idolatry, let him paint out the sins of the hearers

in the most vivid colours, they will generally be silent or

assent to his words; but scarcely has the name of Jesus

Christ crossed the preacher’s lips, when the whole circle of

listeners become, as it were, electrified, some run away, as if to

say ‘we will not have this man to reign over us’, others begin

to scoff, others again, irritated and provoked by the mention

of that name, abuse the name of Jesus, and very often it is

This name is

only the minority that are quiet and neutral.

to them ‘a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence’; I have

been told again and again, ‘preach whatever you like, tell us

the truth howsoever you like, we will listen, we will assent;

but do not mention the name of Jesus Christ; we tell you

once for all that we won’t have any thing to do with him’.”

My. Hafner of Mercara reports—<«When preaching in the

bazaar we have to contend with a great deal of dulness and

indifference, rarely with contradiction, while at festivals and

fairs, though there is no lack of indifference in some, we

frequently meet with scoffing, rich young Coorgs on horse-

back and dressed in European coat, trowsers and jack-boots.

It 1s no more the Hinduism of old that opposes us; it is a kind

of modern, easy-going, natural religion, according to which

the good God lets every one go and do just as he likes.”

My. Ritter reports as the impression, he got on a heathen

festival —

“The Brahmans reject the counsel of God tending to their

salvation, but the common people lend a willing ear to the

preaching.”

One of our Evangelists, Mr. Samuel Bunyan, met with

violence on one of his preaching tours, south of Karwar.

He was surrounded by about 40 people who knocked his

turban off his head, robbed him of the money he had, and

after having searched all his clothes, they held him fast for

nearly two hours, threatening to kill and inter him in the

sand.

If he had not kept very quiet and patient, he would

have fared still worse, as those people boast of not being

afraid even of the police.

It is, however, not only opposition and violence the prea-

chers meet with, but also encouragement and hopeful signs.

Mr. Gengnagel at Basrur reports of a young man of a

well-to-do family, who has been inclined to turn a Christian

for the past two years and has even contributed Rs. 10 to-

wards the mission work.

Mr. Hafner found a Coorg who has for many years been

accustomed to read and meditate on the Bible, and seems not

far from the kingdom of God.

Myr. Waidelich, in a village near Hubli, found a Brahman

of about 30 years of age, who has read all our Christian

books and tracts, so that he is now convinced of the vanity

of idolatry and has done away with it.

In the same village

there is an old Lingait, who threw away his linga and gave

up idol-worship long ago.

My. Lauffer reports of a fair at Coilandy which he visited—

“At the close of a day on which we had often been rudely

interrupted and the name of Jesus Christ had been ridiculed,

a Nayer came to me and said, ‘Be of good cheer and go on

in your work. As soon as Government shall have abolished

Aliyasantana (the right of inheritance of one’s sister’s children

instead of his own) and shall have so ordered the laws of pro-

prietorship that no man can be deprived of his property by

change of religion, you will see how few of us still care for

the old humbug’.”

Myr. Walter of Vaniyankulam reports—An old Nayer, who

not long before had returned from a pilgrimage to Benares,

22

pointed to the emblem of Siva that he had got branded on

his two arms in Benares, and said,

‘These emblems prove

with what fervour and zeal I had sought for forgiveness at

that celebrated place of pilgrimage. But what disappointment!

Formerly I was strong and healthy, now, in consequence of

that journey, I have become ill and miserable, nor have I

found the forgiveness I sought for’.”

The general experience of mission-workers is that there

are many Hindus who are convinced of the truth of Christian-

ity and have even done away with their old idolatrous prac-

tices, but have not courage enough to confess the name of

Christ openly, nor have they sufficient morgl strength to abol-

ish idolatry in their families.

The Bible-women have continued in a quiet unostentatious

way sowing the good seed of the Gospel into the hearts of

their sisters.

And as sowing is not harvest, we can scarcely

expect to see much fruit.

We think, however, that our friends

will peruse with interest the following report of Mrs. Liitze

of Kaity (Nilgiris).

«Qur two Bible-women are treated with kindness and

respect.

They are generally welcomed, sometimes asked

to remain longer, and now and then refreshments are offered

to them.

Only at a distant village the brother of the

headman of the village said to the Bible-women, ‘Go, don’t

read here; there, out in the wilds, you may read as long

as you like.’

I have the impression that the Badaga women

rejoice to see that we love them and take an interest in their

woe and weal.

They know that they are despised among

‘The women do not count among the Badagas’,

their people.

a Badaga Christian said to me a few days ago.

Another one

said, ‘The Badagas compare the men to the strong copper

vessels and the bright brass vessels, but the women are com-

pared to the black unsightly earthen cooking pots.’

The

B

23

condition of the Badaga wife is really sad. At any moment

her husband may dismiss her; when dismissed, she has not

the slightest right of property in her children, and as soon as

possible she is sold to another man. Widows, as a rule, are sent

away and sold again and have to leave their children to the parents

of their deceased husbands.

It is very often the case that the

poor babes sicken and die from want of care.

Last year there

died in Kaity a young man, leaving a widow and two children.

The widow was very sad and cried a good deal, because her

father- and mother-in-law told her again and again she might

go.

Her little boy, 3 years old, soon followed his father, to

the great grief of the poor mother.

Shortly afterwards she

was sold and had to go away and leave her little girl, a year

and a half old, with the parents of her hushand. The poor

babe still misses her mother very much, she is quite emaci-

ated and is continually whining in a most piteous way. No

doubt, the poor child will soon die, which will be a happy re-

lease.

I think I may safely say that many of the women we

visit have gradually got some idea of the value of their souls,

and even for this result we are thankful; for it had been ex-

ceedingly painful to see, that they had not the least know-

ledge of any thing higher and better beyond this life, yea,

We

many had even lost the longing for something better.

cannot but look on these poor creatures with compassion, and

feel happy to be able to tell them the sweet and blessed news

of the salvation as it is in Christ.

In a village, a woman who,

within a few weeks, had lost her husband and two children

interrupted our discourse.

She denied that God is love, and

was speaking of God in a way which made me bid her to be

quiet, otherwise I should be forced to go.

She went away

angry, but after a while she quietly came back and began

to listen till tears flowed down her cheeks.

She was much

moved; the message of the love of God had entered her heart,

Al S

24

and it was a great joy and privilege to me to speak words of

comfort to that sad and desponding heart.

As a direct fruit

of this work among the women, I may point to the conversion

of a young Badaga woman, the first in Kaity proper, who has

given up idolatry to become a disciple of Jesus and a child

of God.

The Lord has blessed our work in another way

also by enabling us to begin a Sunday school for the heathen

givls.

Formerly their parents would never have permitted

them to attend school; but now about 20 girls come regularly

and are so cheerful and attached to me, listening to the Bible

stories and learning their Bible texts with great pleasure.

After the Sunday school had been opened for some months,

1 asked the parents of the girls to send them to a day-school

as well for

some hours.

Formerly we- should have been

answered, ‘Not, unless you pay for them’, but now, several

parents agreed to send their girls.

Some dear English lady

friends of the mission, who have a heart for their Indian sisters

and their children, have enabled me to give the girls a treat

or some small presents now and then.

The girls are fond

of learning and are making progress.

«May the Lord who came to seek and to save those who

are lost, give grace that the Bible-women may become instru-

ments for the salvation of many of their benighted sisters.”

C. Schools.

The two Theological Seminaries at Mangalore and Tellicherry

have continued training young Christian men for their future

work as catechists, evangelists and eventually pastors of

congregations.

Before their admission into one of the semi-

naries they have to go through one of the preparatory schools

(so called middle schools) at Udipi or Bettigeri, or the Chris-

tian High School at Tellicherry, and then they go through a

four years’ course in the seminary.

Dogmatics, Symbolics,

25

—

Introduction to the Bible, Exegesis of the Old and New Tes-

taments, the latter from the original Greek, Ethics, Church

History, Hinduism, Greek, Sanskrit, English and Music, be-

sides Homiletics and Catechising are the subjects of instruc-

tion; preaching in the bazaar, teaching in Sunday-schools and

occasional preaching tours afford opportunities for practically

initiating the students into their future work. As regards

further particulars see Mangalore and Tellicherry.

With the Preparatory Schools at Udipi and Bettigeri, the

Christian High School at Tellicherry, and the Orphanage at

Kaity, small training schools are connected for the purpose

of training Christian schoolmasters.

They number 21 pupils

altogether.

11 pupils have been sent out to take charge

of village-schools or as assistant masters in some larger

schools.

Our Orphanages show an increase of 26 boys and

a decrease of 10 girls in the entire number of pupils.

Christian instruction is imparted in all our schools.

In

the schools for Christians, which are, however, often fre-

quented by non-christian children as well, it is more compre-

hensive, including, besides Bible history, also the catechism,

a larger number of Bible texts and Christian hymns, where-

as in the so-called heathen schools or schools for non-christians

(though they are often attended by Christian children also)

it is confined to studying the Bible or some extract from it

and committing to memory a number .of Bible texts.

In

Anglo-Vernacular Schools ¢<the Evidences” are sometimes

taught in the highest classes.

Three revision-committees are now at work to revise the

translation of the Bible used in our mission-field.

The committee for the revision of the Tulu New Testa-

ment held two sessions during the year under report and have

nearly finished their task, only the Epistles of Peter and John

and the Revelation remain to be done.

autumn session could not take place, chiefly on account of the

ill-health of one of the members.

But in February and March

of the current year the Acts and the Epistle to the Romans

were revised.

3

The revision of the Canarese translation has now also

been taken in hand, and a revision committee, composed of

missionaries of the Wesleyan, London and Basel Mission, has

been formed; however, owing to the difference of dialects in

different parts of the Canarese country, it has not been able

to make much progress as yet, though it has had two sessions

in the course of last year.

E. Industrial and Mercantile Establishments.

The Industrial and Mercantile Establishments in connec-

tion with our mission are as follows—

The Weaving Establishments at Mangalore, Cannanore

and Calicut with branches at Mulky, Chombala, Tellicherry

and Codacal;

the Tile-works at Jeppu and Kudroli (Mangalore),

n

, Codacal;

the Carpenter’s Workshop at Calicut; the Mechanical Work-

shop at Mangalore, and the Mercantile Mission-Branches at

Mangalore, Mercara and Calicut.

To compensate for the

disadvantages under which Mangalore and Cannanore labour

on account of their distance from the railway, it has been

resolved that a central depot should be established at Calicut.

As heretofore the chief object of these establishments is to

give native converts an opportunity of gaining their livelihood

and to inure them to habits of thrift and honesty.

They

afford also an excellent means of putting to the test such

candidates for baptism as are not known to the missionary.

The day is always begun with prayers and the reading of the

Word of God in each establishment.

After having in the proceding pages given a summary of

a native minister to his assistance, and to entrust the care

of those church-members who live on the so-called Madikeri

hill, about one mile to the north-east of Balmattha, to the care

of a catechist; by thus dividing the work we hope to ensure

a more thorough performance of it.

The census shows an increase of 95 souls, of whom 24 are

converts from the heathen.

In accordance with the funde-

mental law in the spreading of the religion of Christ, “the

poor have the Gospel preached to them™ Matth. 11, 5. and

1 Cor. 1, 26, there are “not many wise men after the flesh,

nor many mighty or noble’” among them; a few Billavars

(toddy-drawers), a potter, a pariah, a blind man and a leper

are included in their number.

The case of one of the con-

verts calls for sympathy. When he became a Christian his

wife with her child left him, and it was with difficulty that

he at last prevailed on her to throw in her lot with him.

The greater was his joy when he had succeeded. But one

Sunday the family went to see a friend in a neighbouring

village, when on their way back the uncle of the woman pur-

sued them, overtook them and took the young wife with her

child forcibly away from her husband. He has not seen her

since, and it is rumoured that she has been married to another

man

““Let him go to law,” you say? alas, in India the law

is too expensive for poor Christians, and justice too difficult to

obtain.—Referring to the spiritual and moral condition of

this our largest church, it is only He who knows the hearts

of all men, that can pass a true judgment, but we are glad

to be able to say that the means of grace are sought after;

divine service on Sunday mornings and also the prayer-meet-

ings held here and there in the houses during the week are

well attended, while the attendance to the Sunday afternoon

and weekly services is not so good.

Church-discipline was

necessary in a few cases of grievous sins, such as witcheraft,

S

adultery and fornication, also drunkenness has to be fought

against, but is on the decrease.

Occasionally party spirit

appears in the church, which carries away even some of whom

better things might have been expected, but we cannot but

expect to see such things in a rising church, which is composed

of elements so heterogeneous and naturally opposed to each

other as the different castes and communities of a pretty large

seacoast town are.

And we are confident that the Gospel

will conquer, and will weld together into one those that are

now opposed to each other.

The weekly preaching in the Bazaar has been regularly

carried on by the masters and students of the Theological

Seminary, while the discussions in the English School had to

be discontinued in the second half of the year owing to Mr.

Limbach’s health failing.

Itinerary work in the district has been carried on by Mr.

Hartmann, who spent 181 days, the Evangelist Bethuel Soens,

who spent 169, and several catechists, who together spent 520

days, as well as the students of the seminary, who together

spent 358 days in itinerary preaching.

My. Hermelink was

The year began

with 25 students, one of them, who failed in the final examin-

ation in April, was dismissed; another had to be dismissed

on account of misconduct.

Six new admissions took place,

so that the year closed with 29 students in 4 classes.

No

one finished his studies during the year, and no appointment

took place.

The former Superintendent, Rev. I. Daur, was obliged to

leave for Germany in September on account of his own and

Mys. Daur’s ill-health. Consequently Rev. J. Bucher was sum-

moned from Dharwar in April, and took charge of the school

on August Ist.

The school, which had 215 pupils at the

beginning of the year, lost nearly 100 of them in consequence

of the establishment of a new rival school in July by the

Konkani caste. The year closed with 171 pupils in 8 classes,

30 of them being Christians.

The attendance of the school at Nireshwalya (in

There has been no accession from the heathen during the

year, and both the missionary and the native minister com-

plain much of the lukewarmness, spiritual indifference and

indolence of many of the church-members, especially at some

of the out-stations, where the means of grace are much

ey

neglected by some, while at Mulky itself, at Kadike and at

Kutyar the morning services at least are well attended; at

Santur there is a good deal of dissension among the Christians;

and at Uchila some young men were unwilling to be guided

by the presbytery. At Kutyar the houses of the catechist

and the schoolmaster were burnt down; the cause of the fire

is as yet unknown.

The missionaries devoted 109 days, the

native assistants together 536 days to itinerancy.

The Girls’ Orphanage

under the superintendence of Mr. and Mrs. Keppler, with

3 schoolmasters, 1 schoolmistress and 2 matrons.

Number of

boarders 69, day-scholars 38.

The object of the school is three-fold—

1

To give the girls a sound knowledge of Scripture,

2

To impart a good secular instruction in the vernacular,

so as to enable them to pass the primary school examination,

3

To fit them for their station in life by teaching them

household-work, needle-work and such agricultural work as

generally falls to the lot of women in this part of the country.

It may perhaps not be uninteresting to our readers to have

a glimpse at the kind of work the girls have to do.

We

therefore quote from Mr. Keppler’s report—“The agricultural

work to be done is almost exclusively connected with the

cultivation of rice.

There are four seasons—

1

After the harvest the rice is husked. The paddy is

soaked, slightly boiled, dried, pounded and cleaned.

This

operation occupies the girls for two months every day after

school-hours (which last from 8 to 11) till about 3 or half past 3.

Manuring.

The salt-silt of the neighbouring river is

collected, left to dry and then carried to the rice-fields.

9

)

In the rainy season, sometimes in storm and rain, the

girls, led by some experienced women, transplant the rice-

seedlings into the miry paddy-fields.

4. In October the harvest begins, when the elder girls have

to cut the rice-crop and carry it home in the morning, while

the younger girls beat it out in the afternoon with sticks.

While the girls are inured to such rural occupations as these,

their cookery and needle-work is by no means neglected, and

the Governement Inspectress of Schools declared herself well

satisfied with their performance in the latter.

2. The Town-School

In charge of Mr. Schaible.

The middle school classes, under the Headmaster Zwmothy

Maben, number 32 pupils, the 5 primary classes 142 boys and

21 girls.

There are 3 Christian, including 1 schoolmistress, and

4 non-christian assistant masters.

Religious instruction is

school is just now in a critical state on account of caste-pre-

judices; the so-called higher castes, especially the Konkanis,

insisting on their children having seats separate from those

of the children of the Billavars (toddy-drawers), though at

the time of the foundation of the school they agreed that no

caste-distinctions should be made in it.

The Billavars natur-

ally resent this and want to have a school of their own.

At the out-stations Kadike, Santur, Kutyar, Padur and

Though the census shows a decrease of 15 in the number

of native Christians, there has been an accession of 38 adults

and 42 children from the heathen.

The decrease is partly

owing to the number of members leaving the station being

greater than the number of those who arrived during the year,

partly to the apostacy of 56 members (including children), at

the out-stations of Koppala and Possar.

It appears that from

the beginning their motives in becoming Christians had been

of a mercenary character, and when they were disappointed in

their expectations of pecuniary help, and galled by the curb

of Christian discipline, they left the church.

It was a sad

spectacle when some of their children and young people who

had no mind to apostatize, were forcibly dragged to devil-

worship.

The newly admitted persons are from Udyavara, Madambail

and Kurkal.

They are farmers, wood-sawers, day-labourers,

and earn their own bread. At Shirva also a Konkani and

his family took refuge with Christ from the bhitas. New

chapels have been built at Ambadi and Malapu.

The spiritual state of the church-members leaves much

room for improvement; still, Mr. Ritter says, there are at

each place some Christians who long to go to the house of

God to get strengthened by His word, to whom the Word of

God is a support in times of trouble, who are humbly trying

to set their heathen neighbours a good example, and unosten-

tatiously confess their faith and invite their acquaintances

and friends to join the Church of Christ.

What joy, when

they have the privilege of leading them to Christ!

Tile-works at Malapu (Malpe), employing 151 persons, of

Myr. Bretschneider, formerly assist-

ant of Mr. Baumann at the Jeppu tile-works, took charge in

March. He found it possible to employ the poor widows and

girls of the station and thus to provide them with the means

of subsistence.

The spiritual wants of this out-station, which

has outgrown all the rest, are now attended to by a native

minister, Mr. Charles Gojar, who, with the help of God,

will be able, we trust, to raise the moral and religious state

of the people which at present is rather low.

In July he took his abode at Mangalore where Mrs. Hartmann

Mr. Gitz’s health being rather poorly for several months of

catechumens with one child at Nandolige received instruction

and were admitted into the church in December.

Basrur and Kailkeri are regular in attending divine service,

and have family-prayer; but with those at Kundapur there is

room for improvement.

My. Gengnagel spent 114 days, the

native assistants together 679 days in itinerating; 23 fairs

and festivals and 145 villages were visited, 2500 tracts sold.

Mrs. Gengnagel teaches the Christian girls needle-work, con-

ducts a Sunday-School, gives medicine to the sick and now

and then visits heathen women in their homes.

There are two

Vernacular Schools

at Basrur and Kundapur, with 67 and 15 children respectively

on the rolls; 16 and 7 of these respectively are Christians.

Catechist Immanuel Karkada, formerly stationed at Bela,

had been ill almost the whole year and died towards the

close of it at Mangalore.

The native church has had a small accession in number

from the heathen.

Schools.

The Boys’ School at Kasaragod had to be given up, as the

Government Inspector refused to acknowledge its middle

schbool class; the other schools, mostly primary, are flourishing.

There being a lack of Christian schoolmasters, who are only

four in number besides two schoolmistresses, some of the cate-

chists have to give almost their whole time to school-work;

others give Bible lessons only; on this account not much

itinerary work could be done.

Myr. Hermelink, however, has

done much -in house-to-house visiting.

Mrs. Hermelink gave

Bible lessons twice a week, and taught needle-work in the

girls’ school at Kasaragod.

after Mr. Digel had left for Germany on furlough.

Catechists

Nathanael Kundera and Mathias Jeremias, itinerancy.

There being no native congregation in this station except-

ing the families of the native helpers, Mr. Eblen and his as-

sistants had much time to devote to itinerating, in which

Myr. Eblen spent 81 days; his assistants together 267 days.

At Kerki, where formerly much evangelising work had been

done, the missionary and his assistants are kindly received;

but there is no inclination to join the ‘“spoilers of caste.”

The School

at Anilgodu is in a rather precarious state, the attendance is

decreasing, and the people refuse to thatch the building.

47

KARWAR.

My. Fischer, on account of ill-health, went to Germany on

furlough, at the end of February 1891, when Rev. W. Niibling

took charge of the station, Ewvangelist Samuel Bunyan and

Catechist Jeremiah Sonna assisting him. Mr. Niibling devoted

70 days, the evangelist 189 days and the catechist 86 days

to itinerancy, the latter, and occasionally the former, assisted

also in ministering to the spiritual wants of the small native

church, and in working among the heathen of the station

itself.

The native church shows the same number as last year,

viz. 42 members including children.

There are two primary schools, chiefly attended by non-

christians; they are however not in a flourishing condition.

Though the station seems now well provided with European

workers, this is really not the case; three have already been

obliged to return home in order to recruit their health. Mr.

Sieber only is in the station at present.

The native church has had an accession of seven to its

number owing to immigration.

The attendance at divine

service is satisfactory, but the spirit of dissension which

showed itself during the year, is much to be regretted.

49

PR

The cooly-mission has been carried on regularly; thousands

of coolies have had occasion to hear the glad tidings of the

kingdom of God.

Catechist Upranna devoted 114 days and

S. Sumanta, who suffered much from ague, 75 days to

itinerancy.

We wish to express our grateful acknowledgments to the

planters in the district, who have been kind enough to permit

the preaching of the Gospel on their estates and also assisted

us with contributions.

The contributions are acknowledged

in detail at the end of this report.

Schools.

Of the two schools the one for the children of Christians

shows an attendance of 6 boys and 6 girls; the other one for

non-christians is attended by 41 boys and 10 girls.

The

children of the latter are rather unruly and difficult to

manage.

Winfred Micha, who was transferred as a tutor to the Pre-

successor could not obey the call to Anandapur on account

of the weak health of his wife, the station was left without

a catechist till the first of January last, when Cat. Samuel

Furtado arrived.

Assistant Catechist Lewis Salins and his family suffered

a good deal from sickness and could not devote much time to

itinerancy.

The native church shows a small increase in numbers,

One person from among the

124 days have

been spent in itinerancy. The cooly-mission has been carried

on from this station in South-Coorg, and we tender our hearty

thanks to the planters for their assistance, pecuniary and

other, to this work.

Owing to several Christian families leaving the station,

and one person from among the heathen was baptized.

A good many of the church-members are very regular in

of grace, their lives also agreeing with their profession of

religion.

But others, we are sorry to say, are very negligent

in their religious observances, and the quarrels in their

houses and with their neighbours, as well as their lives in

general show the bad effect of that neglect.

The number

of days spent on itinerancy by the missionaries and their

assistants is 308.

Schools.

The Girls’ Orphanage

under the superintendence of Mr. and Mrs. Grossmann

had 36 boarders and 13 day-scholars at the end of the year,

besides 12 girls, who are still in the orphanage but do not

attend the school.

The girls are on the whole obedient and

diligent, though some are inclined to lying, pilfering and

laziness.

They are taught knitting and needle-work by

Mrs. Grossmann and Mrs. Ziegler with the assistance of a

native Christian woman.

The Anglo-Vernacular School (High School).

Rev. I'. Ziegler, Superintendent.

Mr. A. A. Jagannathan, B. o., Headmaster.

At the beginning of June the classes could remove to the

new High School building, which was formally opened on the

28th July. After the vacation in October last, a competent

drawing master and two more graduates were engaged, and

drawing classes and separate Matriculation classes in the

6th and 7th standards were opened, besides the so-called Final

classes, which had been in existence before.

In consequence

of this and the amalgamation of the Victoria High School

with our school, which took place at the beginning of Novem-

ber, the number of boys rose at the end of the year to 326;

e

53

they are taught by 3 Christian and 8 non-christian masters,

besides the superintendent.

The Bible is taught by the

superintendent and the Christian masters in four lessons a

week to each class; school is always opened with prayer.

The Vernacular Boys’' School

lost some of its boys in consequence of its removal to the

building of the former Anglo-Vernacular School, closing the

year with 78 boys.

Mr. Waidelich, who had been transferred to Kaity 1émst

did not agree at all with her; after spending some months at

Rev. Lot Heri, native church.

Catechist

Solomo Bangera, itinerancy.

Cat. Solomo, formerly at Dharwar, had to change places

with Cat. Stephan Mathapati, late of Hubli, about the month

of May. Both the native pastor and the catechist suffered

54

from ill-health, and the former was obliged to go to Dharwar

for a change.

Though his health improved for a time, it

failed again towards the end of the year.

His second stay in

Dharwar, in January last, which closed with death, will be

mentioned at more length in next year’s report.

The Native Church

though it has had no accessions from the heathen, has con-

siderably increased in number owing to the excess of births

over deaths, the re-admittance of several former seceders, and

a considerable influx of persons from other stations.

The Hubli Christians are very regular in their attendance

to divine service, and family prayer also is customary in most

families; but unfortunately there are some who are given to

toddy-drinking and the eating of opium.

A native school-

master, after having been placed under church-discipline on

account of several misdemeanours, left us and was received

into the Church of England.

The Christians at Unakallu

pay their church-taxes regularly; but they have still need of

St. Paul’s exhortation, to give diligence to keep the unity of

the spirit in the bond of peace.

186 days have been devoted

to itinerancy by the missionaries and the native helpers to-

gether.

Mr. Knittel is doing literary work also as editor of

the «“Kreistasabhapatra’.

There are two parochial schools, one at Hubli and one at

The Native Church

at Bettigeri has had an increase of 23 members chiefly by

re-admittance of former seceders.

Only one man from among

the heathen was baptized, but there are 5 catechumens.

The

women of this native church are very slack in attending

divine service, consequently the education of the children and

their attendance at school is in a backward state too.

The church lost one of its native presbyters by death,

C

hayappa Kode, a weaver, of whom the native minister

writes—¢This man has been a blessing to the church by exhort-

ing, admonishing and caring for, the church-members.

Being

of a pious and peaceable disposition, even hard words could not

detain him from doing his duty.

Though obliged to maintain

his family with the labour of his own hands, he would often

leave his work, in order to pay a visit here and there to ad-

e

Even non-christians came to have

just some difficulties.

their disputes settled by him, and they called him ¢‘a man of

gold’.

Thus we can truly say, he was a shining light to

those around him.

He fell asleep in full trust in his Lord;

his funeral was well attended by non-christians as well as by

Christians.”

The church of Shagoti has had an increase of 6 members,

chiefly owing to births and re-admissions.

The people of both

the station and its out-stations are in great distress on account

of scarcity of rain last year, which did not permit them even

to sow.

Some relief works had to be started.

At Guledgudd town also 9 persons had to be excommunicated ;

only Mushtigeri has had some little accession from the heathen

and re-admitted some excommunicated persons. The churches

at Guledgudd and some of its out-stations have for some years

been the cause of much anxiety on account of the unruly and

licentious spirit of some of their young men and women, which

has repeatedly called for church-discipline; may they soon

repent and turn back to the ways of peace, while it is

yet time.

Only 90 days altogether have been devoted to

The native chﬁrch has had an accession of 7 adults and

3 children from the heathen; on the other hand several

members had to be excommunicated, and some are very lazy

in attending divine sevice, thinking it quite enough to attend

every 2nd or 3rd Sunday. The drinking habits of some have

61

—_——

not yet been eradicated, and drinking often leads to licen-

tiousness, quarrelling and other evils; but there are some who

are not given to drink, and others who have overcome the

habit and learnt to abhor drink. There is no doubt that the

habits of industry, thrift and honesty, which are inculcated in

the weaving establishment, have a salutary influence on the

weavers, and have contributed much to raising some of them

to comparative ease and independence.

The prayer-meetings

during the week of prayer at the beginning of the year were

well attended; at times of sickness people long for comfort out

of God’s Word, and it is a good sign, that the Word of God is

doing its work and bringing sinners to repentance. Mr. Ruhland

was prevented from itinerancy by sore throat and the long pro-

tracted dangerous illness of Mrs. Ruhland, but Mr. Hole was

carrying on the work of preaching the Gospel to the heathen

in and around Cannanore and in the district with great zeal

and devotion.

He spent 135 days in itinerancy and his na-

tive assistants together 843 days; in February 1891 they

made a long tour into the Wynaad.

The Young Men’s Christian Association has also revived,

chiefly by the exertion of Catechist Luke.

It is a good report

that Mr. Frohnmeyer gives of a deceased church-member, the

wife of a catechist, “Poor T. lost a faithful wife, his children

a loving and careful mother, the church an upright, quiet

At

Anjarakandy a new chapel was dedicated on July 12th last.

Itinerary preaching was carried on by the native pastor

and the catechists; they visited fairs and idol-festivals, preach-

ed in villages, and went from house to house as occasion de-

manded. Mr. Hutten writes—“There is no violent opposition,

no uproar now as formerly, but there are still mocking,

laughter, frequent interruption and opposition preaching.”

Such enemies as these must be conquered by meekness and

perseverance.”

history and the doctrines of the Christian religion, and music

are taught.

The results of the departmental examination were good;

for all the seven pupils who went up for the middle school

examination passed.

Christian High School, where the students pursue their ordi-

nary studies and pass their general test, after which they are

taught method and school-management by Mr. Frohnmeyer,

and drawing by Mrs. Frohnmeyer. 5 pupils passed the examin-

ation, two in the Fourth Grade, now called “Lower Secondary

Grade”, and three in the Fifth Grade, now called “Higher

Primary Grade”; 4 pupils remain in the school.

not been without making an impression.

The Girls’ School, chiefly intended for Konkani speaking

Brahman girls, was opened last year, and is much liked by the

girls, who are very fond of their Christian schoolmistress.

Mrs. Dilger often visits the school, gives Bible lessons in the

two upper classes, and, with the assistance of the schoolmist-

ress, teaches needle-work also.

The work is not easy as the

mother tongue of the children is not Malayalam.

The Weaving Establishment,

The native church at Chombala has had an accession from

among the heathen of 8 adults and 7 children, and a total

increase of 18 souls, whereas that at Mahé, though 1 person

from among the heathen was baptized, lost 9 members by

the departure of some families.

My. Peter and the Catechists

together devoted 400 days to itinerating.

Schools.

The Girls’ Orphanage, Boarding School and Parochial Day-

School combined, superintended by Mr. & Mrs. Weismann,

were attended by 141 pupils at the end of the year; 91 of

these were boarders, 50 day-scholars; 18 girls receive the

education of middle-school classes.

The examination results

have been very satisfactory, 94 girls out of 108 having passed

the examination.

There has been a good deal of sickness

among the girls and one death.

The Franco-Anglo-Vernacular School at Mahé,

also under Mr. Weismann, has 76 pupils against 70 last year.

The Anglo-Vernacular School

at Payoli (40 pupils), and the three Primary Schools at Wa-

dagara (58 pupils), Muverattu (41 pupils), and Karakadu

(48 pupils) are attended chiefly by non-christian pupils.

With the exception of Wadagara, their attendance has more

or less fallen off during the year past.

The Weaving Establishment

is a branch of that at Cannanore and employs most of the

members of the native church. Owing to stagnation of trade,

the working time had to be reduced to five hours a day for

two months; consequently many of the weavers found it hard

to make both ends meet. But they learned to pray, and when

e

67

better times came they did not forget to pay their thank-

offerings to God, contributing more than Rs. 300 towards

their church expenses, the mission and other benevolent ob-

jects.

Though the native church had an accession of 16 adults

and 3 children from among the heathen, it has considerably

decreased in number, partly on account of the uncommonly

high death rate (38), partly on account of the great number

of people leaving the station.

The native minister began a

meeting of young women, who assemble every Friday evening

for prayer and reading the Bible.

Many attend very regu-

larly.

Both the missionary in chafge and the native minister

complain of the indifference of many, especially of the young

men, to the Word of God, and their unsatisfactory conduct.

The native minister writes— «“While groaning under the

weight of responsibility and sorrow at the sight of general

misbehaviour and disorder in the church, we are, may be,

suddenly called to the deathbed of a dying member here and

there, where we experience the glory and faithfulness of the

Lord manifested, and find vivid instances of God’s mercy glo-

rifying poor sinners.

The consciousness of his physical infirmity (consumption) was

very serviceable to him in leading a life of close communion

with the Lord. He was laid up for five months, during which

period he was never grumbling or discontented. A few days

before his death he had great struggles in his heart, and asked

Native Church.

As already mentioned, the native churches at Codacal

and Paraperi have had comparative large accessions from

among the heathen, so that the whole number of native

Christians connected with the station is now 663 against 483

at the end of 1890.

Mr. Jaus writes—+Codacal and Paraperi are gradually be-

coming pretty Christian villages.

Even non-christian Govern-

ment officials cannot but express their astonishment at this

fact; the Head Assistant Collector, a Brahmin, for instance,

spoke highly of the exemplary order which is to be seen on

all sides, and of the diligence and decent appearance of the

inhabitants, many of whom, strange to say, are said to have

come from the lowest castes, and he added, ¢Such things are

only possible among Christians.

That is the most wonder-

ful thing in Christianity, that it is able to make something

respectable even of the most degraded people.’

The attend-

e

72

ance to divine service is on the whole good.

Prayer meetings

are attended, a young men’s Christian Association is in ex-

istence, and recently one for young women also has been

started. As not all the people who joined us could be em-

ployed in the tile-works, the missionaries took a contract of

some stretches of road from Government, on which they could

employ those that had no work.”

OBITUARY.

1

August Mdinner was born on the 22nd July 1828 at

Ossweil in Wiirttemberg, Germany. After having finished his

studies in the Basel Mission College, he was sent out to India

in 1857, where he was privileged to work for about 83 years

among the Tulu population, being for the first twenty years

stationed at Mulki and Udipi alternately.

During the time

of the Tulu revival, which he believed to be the work of God,

he travelled a great deal in the district.

He helped those

who were in difficulties, even pecuniarily, though not indiscri-

But more prized than pecuniary assistance was

the medical aid he gave the sick. People would come to him

from considerable distances, and as many as 40 or 50 people

would sometimes wait for medicine on his verandah.

In the

year 1878 he was called to Mangalore to take.charge of the

large native church of that place, and to take the chair of the

District Committee.

For a number of years he was also

Secretary, and for a short time President of the General Local

Committee of our Indian Mission.

In spite of his multifarious

duties he found time for literary occupations.

Tulu Bible Revision Committee, and the author of a Tulu

Hymn-book, of two Tulu Dictionaries, and a Tract on Bhutas.

Cheerfulness and trust in God were prominent in his character.

In the year 1890 his health breaking down, he was obliged to

in the spring of 1891 he had to leave the field of his labour.

At his leave-taking the members of the Mangalore church

showed their gratitude to their beloved pastor by presenting

him with a beautifully bound Bible and a handsome sum of

money, to which even the poorest contributed their mite.

But

-~

79

S

he gave over the money, for which he was to buy an easy-chair,

to the Mangalore organ-fund.

His voyage home proved to be

only the prelude to another going home; a few weeks after

his arrival in Germany, on the 25th April 1891, he died at

Seehof in Wiirttemberg, in the home of his sister.

His widow,

who had been his faithful companion and helpmate since 1860,

retired to Kornthal, near Stuttgart.

Myr. Ott, his successor at

Mangalore, writes of him: «We have lost a faithful paternal

friend in him, whom we shall miss for a long time.

But we

won’t grudge him his rest after his active life.

May the Lord

be the comforter of his widow.”

2

Mrs. Anna Baumann, née Pfund, born 9th August 1856

at Unterhallau in Switzerland, came to India in 1877 where

her husband was manager of the manufactory of grooved tiles

at Jeppu, near Mangalore.

Having for some years been suf-

fering from a weak stomach, she fell ill with dysentery on the

27th June and soon felt that this illness would be her last.

She said to her husband, «I am glad to go home.

I have

committed you and my dear children into the hands of the

Lord.

He will provide for them.”

She died in the early

morning of the 8th July 1891.

3

David Teikandy was born from heathen parents at

Kalarical, near Calicut.

His father was a religious teacher

among the Hindus, and brought up his son in the knowledge

of the Hindu shastras.

Accepting a place as a master in a

mission school, he had to teach Bible stories also, but took

care to exempt his own son from the Bible lesson.

At this,

his countrymen began to complain and said, «Unless you make

your own son also read the Christian books, we shall take our

children away from school.”

Thus young Teikandy began

to read Bible stories and was much impressed with them.

Being further influenced by a cousin of his who was a Christi-

an, and some catechists of the Basel Mission, as well as the

80

e,

missionary, Mr. Fritz, he, in his 18th year, after a night of

severe mental struggles, resolved to become a Christian.

He

remained firm to his resolve and was baptized by Mr. Fritz

in 1857 and admitted into the catechist seminary at Telli-

cherry,

In 1860 he was sent to the College at Basel with two

of his fellow-students to finish his education.

Though failing

health obliged him to return to India in August 1864 before

his time was over, his stay at Basel had not been in vain:

he had learned to know himself and to trust in his Lord. After

a short stay at the Theological Seminary at Mangalore he

was appointed as a catechist, and served faithfully at

several places till the year 1886, when he was ordained and

made pastor of the Codacal church.

In 1889 he received and

followed a call to Chowa near Cannanore.

He was unweari-

ed in his work and especially very careful in preparing his

sermons.

Those of his church-members whom he missed in

service he would look up at their houses.

He was eminently

a man of prayer.

On the day of his death he said to Mr.

Ruhland, the missionary of his station who had come to see

him, «I shall not take any more food now, but wait for

the coming of my Lord.”

When Mr. Ruhland said to him,

«Death is swallowed up in victory”, he answered, «I know

that my Redeemer liveth.”

At night, when he felt death ap-

proaching, he prayed for all his family; then he made them

kneel down at his bedside, and asked his brother-in-law to

lead in prayer.

He joined in the Amen and then fell asleep

in Jesus, peaceful as a child.

It was on the 16th Septem-

ber 1891.

4. Joseph Bella, Catechist at Vaniyankulam died there on

the 6th November 1891.

district, died at Mangalore 13th December 1891. (See p. 45.)
