I i ok (0 forg Yy = O R yill F Boo fhese JHILST in 1900 the number of Christians in our Indian Mission shows only an increase of 61, we have in the ¥ 5 year under review an access of 358 souls, but neither the one nor the other proves anything with reference to the fertility of the spiritual field, the baptisms of non-Christians being in both years almost the same in number (1900: 261 [ag} and 1901: 284). The difference between these two years as to the growth of our Church in India is easily explained by the economical conditions of the country. In 1900 people o f fr found scarcely any work owing to the famine. Although (1oy | some of our districts (especially Southern Mahratta) suffered on account of dearth in 1901 as well as in 1900, on the Loy whole things improved. People felt confident again to take Hi Malah up their different occupations, agriculture and trade began to prosper and thus our Christians remained where they 10fce 0r were, whilst in 1900, according to the statistics, about 300 of H])[ our people left our stations in search of employment some- upth where else. Southern Mahratta was visited with plague even s ah tab; worse than ever before. In Canara and Malabar we have Iy been graciously preserved from outward calamities, but as 4y the Report will show, the spiritual condition of some of our ) [ congregations gives cause for grave apprehensions. Whilst g 4 in Canara spiritual life seems to be at a low ebb in general, i ('Y in Malabar the transition from childhood to youth evidently lggg ¢ of th is beset with the danger of heresy and naughtiness. Assaults from inside the Church are much more dangerous and painful he Q| than such from outside, the more s0, if they are so unpro- $vg 5 17 — voked, petulant and malicious, as in our case, but we feel confident that the Lord and His leading hand have not forsaken us, and such of our Christians as are of the ‘uruthz will hear His voice and will be safely carried also through these critical times. e Tndin I. SOUTH~GANARA. e o e it nether 1 Mangalore. 06 fo fte For a short historical sketch of each station we refer to (hristons 1900: & last year’s Report. The following changes amongst the Missionaries took place: o Jears il Mr. and Mrs. Hirner and Mr. and Mrs. Glattfelder left phuned b for Europe; Mr. Bretschueider and Mr. Heckelmann returned e 00 peo from Germany. For the first time arrived Miss E. Guundert Alth 0l (now Mys. Pfleiderer), Miss J. Meyer, and Miss E. Prattent ) sufieled (now Mys. Stokes). ). ol b His Excellency the Governor of Madras on his tour through ) o i il Malabar and Canara intended to do us the honour of taking ) le notice of the work done by the Basel Mission at this our most jere 1 important station. His Excellency feeling indisposed Lady ot 00 Awpthill was kind enough to pay a visit to the Weaving sone b Establishment, the Printing Office and the Tile-Works at Jeppu. 18 grel My. Schaible, in charge of the Mangalore congregation as i e a whole (2739 souls), sees but little cause to praise the | uf & spiritual condition of his flock. He does not deny that here Tl Is S and there tokens of genuine Christian life do manifest them- selves, but in comparison with the many exhibitions of wicked- geneml ness and malice and with the many offences given by members eyl il of the Mangalore congregation, the hopeful features cannot f§ As%flll be called prominent. Especially do the youths of Mangalore 1} alfllul give a good deal of trouble by their unruly and unchristian ) Il p 3 v, 18 e behaviour, and also at Mangalore there are not a few who and g seem to feed upon the criticism of their Mission-Society and their Missionaries. Self-dependence and self-government are shee 10t objects we look forward to with great intensity, but the (A mtention of some to smuggle in, besides the legitimate gui- dance of the congregation through the Missionary and the The 10t Presbytery, an additional government of their own leaving and everything in the shape of self-support to the Mission, cannot (ied be considered to be a step in the right direction. As to the pastn outward conditions of our Christians at Mangalore nothing i, has changed since last year; the greater part of them are a850¢ employed in our Industrial Establishments. The Missionaries sig at Mangalore are very anxious to settle down some Christian that families at Bolma and Amyambala with the view to make a lste further trial with an agricultural Mission. (holg i As to the spiritual condition of the Balmatha congregation Mr. Samuel Andrea, the native pastor, is greatly exercised in his Th mind about the Christian youths, who, after confirmation rove about St without any occupation. They show no desire for God’s Word or Teva Divine worship, they eat up the scanty earning of their poor parents; g some of them even do not shrink back from stealing, drinking and a5k libelling, they behave shamefully in the houses of other Christians statio and fry to seduce better-minded youths. Mr. Samuel thinks that for this deplorable condition of the growing-up generation the parents aftey | Vs gl must partly be held responsible. They are of opinion that it is the duty of the Mission to provide them and their children with a liveli- g~ hood, a superstition which perhaps unconsciously has been fostered Theohg by the Mission itself. Very often it is also the bad example of parents d\ll‘ing themselves by which the children have become what they are.—In ang 3 a similar strain Mr. Joshua Soans writes about the congregation at the ba Madikeri-Gudde. More hopefully sounds what Mr. Obed Sumitra ally | reports on his flock at Bockapatna, although he too feels sorry to d,jStuf see how the respect before God’s Word and the holy office are going Wrrjg to decay. However, sometimes families meet for devotional exercises Wlth e e 19— fow who and collect somethingr for the Mission. 1In the time when cholera was ity a raging some volunteered as tenders. Mr. Obed also tells of a lost meng sheep finding the Good Shepherd at last. A man who had become ut e notorious as a good-for-nothing and for a long time had been in jai'l’ came back half-blind and sought for work in the Kudroli Factory, nafe g1 and e The manager there took great pains to set him on the right way and not only did he turn out a good workman, but a change of heart ) Jeavig and mind also took place. Then cholera broke out and Devapriya D, Caunl died as a poor sinner who had received grace.— Also Mr. Salis, Lstoth 0 pastor of Jeppu, relates of the happy dying of a youth, 17 years of o nofin age. He had been a good son and was a member of the young men’s them A association. Before confirmation he took part in the practising of a sslonanes singing-choir, but strange to say with a great certainty he asserted Chrisae that he would not sing on the next Sunday with the others, but only to malid listen to them. On the day of confirmation he was attacked by cholera and he died with the joyful testimony that his sins were for- given and that death had lost its horrors for him. - g il 0 I The Evangelistic work at Mangalore and out in the di- strict was carried on with great energy in spite of cholera pore s Word o prevailing in the district. Amyambala, where a holy fig-tree I parefltsé has been cut down (¢f. last year’s Report, page 26) has got a school and became an out-station. A teacher has been i l (e stationed there and school-work commenced with 12 pupils; s & after 10 days there were already 24, and in April the teacher was able to write that the number of pupils was daily increas- il H’,bte ing. —In Mangalore itself the teachers and students of the Il Theological Seminary preached regularly to the heathen ap 18 during the monsoon on Sunday evenings at the English School o of ¥ and after the rainy season also on Wednesday evenings in )ral'e/fl N the bazaar. In the English School the preaching was gener- 1o g ! ally followed by a discussion. There was scarcely any 7 S disturbance.— House-to-house visitation in Mangalore was Is Sflm ! carried on by Mr. Liithi, accompanied by Catechist E. Karat. ) e gm » With the exception of two or three astrologers, who were | ot 2% e 20 e v a0 rather crabbed and angry, people received them most kindly. The majority of people seems to be apathetic and indifferent, (hr fhe but there are a few who are most earnestly concerned about fo salvation. A family positively declared that they were ready (hr to join the Mission. When Mr. Schaible told them that they foh might do so, but that we could not give them employment, a0t they said: «Since it is our destiny to perish by hunger, we prefer to do so being with you”. On the work of the Bible-women Mrs. Hermelink gives the Hig following interesting details:— mith fhe | «Passing a Mohammedan house we were requested by the in- o habitants to offer prayers for the recovery of a child which was dangerously ilL “Your God is the only true One and He will fep accept your prayer,’ they added. ‘When we passed by this house r?JIs the next time, we inquired after the little patient and were told il that the child was all right again. ttad] «The two Bible-women Johanna and Salome had access to the \fll]' bis h house of a Government official, whose wife has been laid up for the nly last 17 years. Although she was very weak and prostrate in body, it her mind kept wonderfully clear and active, and she always liked to Some see visitors and to talk with them. Thus she also welcomed the Bible-women and listening attentively to their reading she acquired a gley| pretty fair knowledge of God’s Word. Often she would assure the Bible- g, women that she believed in God and in His Son Jesus Christ, Pl without whom she could do nothing. But, alas! to obey the voice reh"ll of her conscience, to follow the inward desire of her heart and break g ] through the barriers of caste and custom she is lacking in strength and courage.— Another woman, who last year had felt greatly 1611gu attracted towards Christ and had begun to feel happy in hearing the by 4 voice of her Saviour, had to pass through a first temptation. SOII\Q Having been poor in health for some months her relatives told her 1§ 9 that her ailings were caused by evil spirits, who came to punish her IO\ g for her inclinations towards the Christian belief. She asked the Bible-women whether there could possibly be any truth in this. The Bible-women told her that the sure way to get rid of all this the 1 S, Sl S 21 t kiny anxiety and superstition would be to surrender her heart fully to difern Christ and to live up to the light which she had received through ed abn the Gospel. Her husband and all her relations being in opposition ere il to this she is still hesitating to take up her cross and to follow Christ. ‘When the Bible-women saw her the last time, she seemed that thy | to have regained strength; she received them with great love and ployuer, | accompanied them to some other houses.” uoger, Passing over to the Educational work at this station the High School, in spite of all the many difficulties interfering gives fi with the progress of this school, has done good work within by fhe 1 the humble sphere left to it. Including the 91 pupils of the flourishing Bazaar School, which may be called the primary hih i el department of the High School, there were 328 pupils on the rolls. - {his houe The building has been increased, a place for gymna- e fl stic exercises and a flower-garden have been laid out, also a reading-room was opened. The Manager of the school tries I ) s 0 his best to influence the pupils entrusted to his care not p fr only by the Bible-lessons, but also by making a Christian o 1 bl spirit pervade all the rules and regulations of the institution. it hlxed 0 Some rules, specially framed for this purpose, did not gain Joomet p great popularity amongst the pupils. Religious instruction 9 acquilEd i was given separately to Christian pupils and Hindus. Mry. po the Bt Prleiderer is of opinion that the greater number of pupils are 18 it religiously indifferent, not only so with reference to Christianity, q the VOifP 7 but just as well concerning their own religion. Caste is t L everything with them, a miserable substitute for genuine in S‘}l‘eflgE religion. i ! A second class of pupils feel somewhat irritated o by the Bible-instruction, by which they ‘betoken at any rate e b -~ o some religious interest. We are glad to hear that there i is a third class of youths of whom it can be said that they i love and honour the Lord Jesus. pufliq’fl 1 ail{ed b / The Balmatha Girls’ School and Training Institution, under i ! i the management of Miss H. Krauss, is doing very well. T b S LA 2 2_ §001 The Hindu widow, who underwent training (c/. last year’s Report page 27) passed her examination and was given employment in the Jst Girls’ School. In the theoretical test she gained the first place in the fi Madras Presidency. May the Lord so guide her that she will oy arrive at the right decision between Christ and Hinduism and give lisy up the unprofitable attitude of being amongst Christians a Christian J0rge and amongst Hindus a Hindu. an In the Primary Examination all the girls passed, in the I Lower Secondary Examination 10 out of 11. The number of Bl girls rose to 160. Six female candidates have undergone fhe T training. For gir < Is coming from the district, a boarding-house wp f . 1s a great des 1 deratum. Besides, girls who have passed the T ot Lower Secondary and desire to prosecute their studies, are that almost compelled to join the Roman Catholic High School for 661 f girls, and thus Miss Krauss is very anxious to see her insti- b gl tution raised to the standard of a High School. We earnestly lfg B hope that the Home-Committee will see its way to give all the Home( help needed to the hopeful work of Miss Krauss. Tathipg The Brahmin Girls’ School in the town, under the manage- Th ment of Miss E. Kaundinya, would also like to enlarge its the ey Dig, & accommodations, the number on the rolls having risen from editory 78 to 94. Out of these 65 per cent are Brahmins, 29 others Chang and 6 Christians. The wealthy class of people prefer to send i, their girls to the Roman Catholic Girls’ School, English being iy l” I taught there already in the lowest classes, whilst English in 86? Zg Y Parents care only our school is only the second language. LB for English and a little needle-work, and as this can be got up in 2— 4 years, they prefer the procedure of a quick polish Uy | to a solid instruction in the vernacular, which naturally will Alman require much more time. However, as for the majority of Ong bY children, also Canarese is a foreign tongue and thus our Th pupils have to master two new languages, perhaps it would C0me ‘ be better to substitute English in the place of Canarese as pnfltlng % iy P T R 23 ears B soon as competent teachers in English can be got. In ment I Jesuvananda Salis the school has lost a painstaking and plae it faithful teacher. The girls were in high spirits on the day 3t she 7l on which they were privileged to salaam the Governor and s and it his party; most of them, of course, took the valet in his 5 3 (i & gorgeous dress for the Governor, who looked much more like il an ordinary man. sed, 1 {1 The Printing Press, under the management of M/r. 4. Beierbach, o it is located on Balmatha and employs about 50 hands inclusive of undengn the Type-casting Department. The Manager is endeavouring to keep gt up the good name which our establishment has enjoyed since it y st was started 60 years ago, by good and correct work that is turned J out studis At the end of this Report we give a list of the books and tracts that have been printed during the last year, from which it will be h Sl seen that printing in Canarese has the largest share, then Malayalam, o0 hor I English, German, Sans®rit, Tamil. The printing orders have of T antl] s 3 b late been so numerous that an application had to be made to the i Ll all! Home-Committee for the sanction of an additional large printing machine, which, we are glad to say, has most readily been granted. The Book and Tract Depository is managed by Mr. F. Huber. Of the matk: the new tracts issued during the last year we have only to mention one, nlatg? i viz. “The Need of Baptism” in Canarese by Rev. Th. Walz. The rin ¢ editorship of our Canarese Fortnightly Paper “Satyadipike” has ) 0 ot 5, 4 changed hands, the Rev. B. Liithi being now its editor, assisted by el gl Mr. Christian Maben.

And his faith has not been put to shame Although on the whole his work was a work of hope, Mr. Gengnagel has been instrumental in the conversion of some souls, in whom a genuine work of God was clearly manifested. Nagappaja (now lone at 1 Y0NS 10 Christananda) in 1882 and Shiva Rao (now Mattheeus, cf. the Reports of the last three years) in 1899 may be named as such In 1899 for 18 1 Mr. Gengnagel had to go home and his health not permitting him to return to India he was engaged in deputation-work in Hessen- ) Desnl Darmstads After a short illness he was calied home on the 23rd Worns, B February 1901, leaving a mourning widow and 10 children, whom stans we commit to the Father of all widows and orphans Also for the Jy acqa district, where the late Mr. Gengnagel has worked so faithfully, a time of harvest will come and then ‘“he that soweth and he that reapeth g 114 e s ¥ may rejoice together”. il In the place of Mr. Liithy, Mr. Gitz has taken charge of o hins the Basrur-station Of the little congregation (107) not much heatt “0F 1s to be reported On Hindu festivals the population seems 0 Wil ul to be rather troublesome, even when visited at their houses ghe%flfih the reception in most cases is very far from being friendly B I There is no other remedy for this but patience Mr. Gotz as i Honam jo ud " well as two Catechists had the interesting experience that in one case a blasphemer after having given great trouble gradu- ally cooled down and being ashamed of his behaviour, silently 1881 Jjo 1 qnw v went away and in another case even asked the Catechists to go on with preaching, asking their pardon at the same time.—— llld o g Mr. Winfred Micha, the Evangelist at Basrur, in an application p o] s of the parable of the lost son to the non-Christian world writes: — he WM el oflf “ During a conversation with a Hindu he said ‘Do you know b al® f what our condition is?

As a proof of his sincerity Hindy, we may mention that he never hesitated to confess his sins before ind b the whole congregation, asking forgiveness for his sins. ‘When he f e was attacked by cholera he refused to take any medicine, saying: fook “The Lord is my Physician.” As long as he was able to speak, he What continued in prayer, often crying out: «Oh Lord Jesus, call me to pl‘ayep, be with Thee!” To his own people he said: «I am not afraid to Whag g die, I have a desire to be with Christ.” Mr. Borel misses the old Christia‘ venerable Abraham very much on his visitations at Ravaneshvara. K At Hosadurga Mr. Borel is greatly helped by one of the Borg | elders there, a Government official, who is very regular in Sehog), seeing and admonishing the members of that congregation and of e who moreover sets a good example by his own life. «One can the G see in this instance, how important and beneficial this insti- tution of church-elders can be, if an elder the p realises the signifi- cation of his sacred calling.” lop bl‘anc] 37 0o not b The prevalence of small-pox and cholera during the year 1.

From the report of Mr. Gerson Soens, the Evangelist of this station, we nd 11 s take the following extracts: — “The higher the position of our Hindus as to caste and education e of o the greater their opposition to Christ and His Gospel, especially duism be bl since they have heard of Vivekananda and his books. Some will nted aftr t say: ‘How can you expect us to believe your message, since many s b B of your people in Europe forsake Christianity and accept our ; convized religion?’ Amongst the unprejudiced things are different. At Kumbla a Hindu quite agreed with us and told the following L candidie b piin Ci amusing story: ¢Not far from here thieves entered a temple and 1, Faudrp not only deprived the goddess of all her ornaments, but actually took away herself.

In spite of this Mr. Veil i te b has not been without the blessing of God, and as he looks upon his work as upon one of the many endeavours to bring also the Coorgs and other tribes gathering there to the knowledge of Christ, the financial result is not the only factor to be taken in account in estimating the success of the work done in the Mission-Shop at Mercara. i sl 9 Anandapur. | L f There is a great contrast between Mercara and Anandapur. here ® Mercara paradise-like, equipped with all the natural charms , sl of a beautiful hill-station, but from a Missionary point of 6 )n i R 42 view devoid of all attractions, a barren disappointing soil. Coor Anandapur on the other hand is called a feverish place and 1 fully deserves this name, but there is one consolation: it is a Vs real Mission-station, and there is something going on there. 16068 fle o Perhaps the congregation (228 souls) cannot be called a model- congregation. The attendance at Sunday-Services and at the thoe, Lord’s Supper is very far from being satisfactory, and some of 3 good the Christians cause offence by an unchristian life and fime, behaviour. If children do not care to go to school, parents the o submit to the will of their children. Thus no change for the fhere y good can be expected from the young generation. A very 0wy hopeful sign however is the Young Men’s Association at e Anandapur. There seem to be earnest youths amongst them atall and all of them are very regular at church. On Palm-Sunday An 15 children of the Orphanage were baptised and in the after- a ot noon the Orphanage for boys was consecrated with many songs fbrhiSI and speeches. For the children, of course, the climax of ke | delight was reached, when the delicious Coorg-coffee and ‘A You ] fOI‘mer plantains were brought in.—But such days of happiness were followed by days of mourning. On the 1st September the ahog ( [ to befi( baptism of a few adults had taken place. Amongst the candi- Somgthy dates was a Brahmin widow who was very anxious to be admitted by baptism to the communion with Christ. On the m91 ShO] teafog ¢ following day her grand-child, an amiable girl of 10 years of age, died and only one week later the grand-mother followed her. Yople ey On the whole death made a great havoc in the congregation, b g and we earnestly hope with Mr. Fritz that these earnest tmfl\ A visitations of God will serve for the good of this congregation. W A special difficulty experienced by the itinerating staff at Satioy Anandapur 1s that our Catechists coming from Anandapur n ), are suspected by the Coorgs to be Holeyas, the stock of our burdy Christians there consisting of such. In consequence of this et they are not admitted to the houses of Coorgsf In South the bo‘] fmw\' & Senlediialy 43 infing s Coorg Mr. Fritz could not get permission for his Catechists | plasead to preach at the roll-call in coffee-plantations. A second on; 1t Missionary at Anandapur for itinerating work is an absolute ¢ o flew necessity. Mr. Fritz is fettered to the station not only by ol a o the congregation, two Orphanages and the rural economy and at there, but we are sorry to say that he and Mrs. Fritz suffer and sone a good deal from fever and are laid up every year for some n life ul time. Still in October Mr. Fritz attended with his Catechists 00l e the great Hindu-festival at Bhagamandal. Owing to plague ange fr there was not the usual conflux from Mysore, but there were crowds of Malayalis, Tulus and Coorgs. There was rather o, A ¥ sociation & much opposition, sometimes our people could not preach nongs D at all. g S An old Coorg, about 60 years of age, paid a visit to Mr. Fritz and intimated his readiness to become a Christian. ‘When asked i the ol nany S0 for his reasons, he said: “I have a debt of Rs. 3000.” Mr. Fritz asked him to pay this debt first of all and then to come again. o clim I “As you like,” he said and went away. An educated Malayali and 0 s coflée ul a former pupil of the Mission School at Tellicherry expressed himself ppies it about Christ and the Bible in very kind and appreciating terms, but Eptembef fi:: “to become a Christian and to disapprove the faith of my fathers is g the ca}]lfi' something which my conscience never will allow me, it would reprove e sious B me, should I become an apostate,” he said in conclusion. — Mr. Fritz relates that at another festival a man of authority permitted our it 0 people to preach under the shadow of a fig-tree, dedicated to the J goddess Kaveri. el ¥ And not only that, after the OChristian preachers had finished, he addressed the audience, encouraging them to follow g truth and the Bible. egatiflfl' i What especially gives life and colour to the Anandapur- oogh station and what gladdens the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Fritz ing il in the midst of so many disappointments and under the Il burden of bodily weakness, is the Orphanage there. We have gock 07 il mentioned already that on the Sunday Judéica, the house for a0 O the boys, was consecrated in all solemnity. Donations from Bl/ i 6% o el 44 our German friends at Home enabled Mr. Fritz to erect the heen modest, but pretty building. It consists of a big dwelling- roug short room, a sleeping room, a wash- and bath-room and a sick- room. By rebuilding a stable, a temporary dwelling-place Sucen has been made for the girls. There has been much sickness Lot and even death amongst the children (2 boys and 7 girls), There no wonder, children join the school half-starved and accus- i tomed to eat coal and earth. Some of them no human art a1l gar can save. Mr. and Mrs. Fritz feel themselves under great Death obligation to Dr. Hiley, who always has been ready with his well-re valuable advice and help. Exuom In the forenoon the children attend school, where great stress g is laid on the Bible-lesson and singing. After breakfast the children 0ng e are employed with out-door work, for which the large Mission- oty property at Anandapur renders all the opportunity required. They gy work on the sugar and coffee-plantations and on the rice-field. In Mg | the evenings the boys are allowed to play, the girls help in the fo help kitchen. For order and cleanliness in the houses and in their am i neighbourhood the bigger children are responsible by turns, each for a week. On Sunday-evenings the chiidren take a walk, which We they enjoy greatly. Our friends at home were kind enough also flle GOS last year to send a large box which contained everything that the Iffllgth g heart of a child @uld desire on a Christmas-evening. Mr. and Mrs. also g $0me ) Fritz are almost entirely responsible for the education of 28 boys and 21 girls and the burden weighs heavily upon them.

Ouar agents there have (hlllo‘ ; “[1 i also been drawn into a controversy about Christianity. A Hindu in A, 8 i s I some Dharwar newspaper complained of the wasting of money for 0 0 f)&b Mission-work. One of our Catechists replied, and only after a few p Aot months appeared a second article in which a second champion of oL ( fl]l]L Hinduism, after telling us that he had read the first article with Tng ot 0% satisfaction and the Christian reply with indignation, admitted that the great tree of Hinduism had begun already to shake and as nobody else had eniered into the lists, he thought it necessary 1THI to drive the Christian antagonist from the field. He spoke then very highly of idolatry as a kind of mediation and gloried in the wonderful institution of caste.— Of course, this will give a welcome 1 opportunity to our agents to enlarge upon the true Mediator between 1 ) D God and man. = 46 iy A younger brother of Vishvésappa (cf. last year’s Report, page with ‘ 54), Nilkantappa, followed in April, the man who in the year before They had cursed his brother in a shameful manner. of Vishvasappa had gone to Tegar to nurse a daughter-in-law and such love made a iy & wholesome impression on his heathen relatives, so that there was always gy a friendly relation between him and his people.

The experience of the Bible-women in the time of plague, sure i ¢ on the other hand, has been very different. They find that igue./mfl?; people in general instead of turning towards the Living God try their best to propitiate the supposed hungry goddess; the Bible-women, however, did not miss any opportunity of showing o s by instances taken from the Bible and the hearers’ own o s experience, God’s finger in this awful visitation. And their D0 endeavour has not been in vain. Some of the women were Missianflflf roused to repent for their sins and to ask God’s forgiveness, suCcesSful : and they have been so thankful for the spiritual admini- g ful? strations of our Bible-women that they asked them to continue 4]11 et i I their visits also after the plague had abated. 9 Stfofl v 05 50 L 12 s s Bettigeri. plge The outward conditions on the whole have been the same a1 dhon as in Hubli. s0me fn Owing to the great dearth, trade and business came almost to a standstill.

Of course only half of this work could be done last year. In the rainy season the villages in the neighbourhood of Homavar were taken up, not Jj ol omitting a single house. In villages Mr. Risch found the magic o st lantern to be a great help. On the whole our Evangelists did not o fhe o meet with a cordial reception.

Especially we have N been pleased to see that some even with a pecuniary loss and under other inconveniences took care of some candidates for baptism. The Lord has His own people also at Cannanore and He knows them. The Young Men’s Association under the energetic guidance of Mr. Maue was thriving for some time, but in consequence of sectarian eath of li machinations the attendance at Church-services and other meetings fissionan b: suffered somewhat. ‘“The prayer-meetings” to which we referred in the Reports of the last two years and from which some expected b 1864 a great spiritual blessing for our congregations, have turned out a o, Pttt 7 great offence and a hindrance for the spiritual development of our et e by congregations. A Catechist of our Mission, who owes everything ol M b what he really possesses of spiritual knowledge and sound experience o (e to our Mission, asked a few days’ leave, went to Coimbatore, came ) smtiflfled i back, resigned as a Catechist, and from that day he called the church, aceontt i It in which he, his parents and other relatives have been brought to g e h the knowledge of Christ, the Church whose foundation has been laid by men of God like Hebich, Dr. Gundert, Fritz, Miiller and others, o et ¥ ;ickly qud o he calls this Church «Babel”. The prayer-meetings in Cannanore gt " had been started formerly by this Catechist and thus the ex-Catechist naturally tried to exert his influence amongst the Christians there. o il i i gt J Mr. Hole continues: «We felt it to be our duty to take energetic measures against extravagances and great disorders, prevailing it weakefl*‘ amongst these people. What increases the difficulty of influencing i | ssud 0 * these people for the good is the great insincerity of their present spiritual leaders. After sneaking into a Christian congregation, o The il s !

It is very sad to ol the see that what adds attraction and savour to this movement, is the Craty Fiths et e 58 abuse of the Basel Mission. For people without spiritual experience Missio and such as are not well-founded in the Scriptures, the temptation to spiify be taken in is very great.

The Native Pastors s gy Mr. George Peter and Mr. Tobias Chembankodan express themselves in a similar strain. At the end of the year a strike broke out in 0 rone the Weaving Establishment, the people however were careful and mean formerly enough to receive their Christmas-presents before. The party deserib- Publip ed above was prominent also in this foolish and disloyal action, the Bagg they did not shrink back from giving also to this movement a pongnt religious colour by giving as their watchword: “Let us leave the missionarz bondage of Egypt!” The Pastor of Chowa, on the other hand, wil oy nof be far from right, if he contends that the strike is a punishment of God, because our people did not receive the manifold benefits of {hyg they God granted through the Mission with a thankful heart and did not praise Him for them.— For one who knows something of the history of Christ’s Church, there is nothing quite new in this spiritual revel Iy at Cannanore and some other places. We do not deny for a moment that there are some upright and misled souls amongst our opponents, Pl’eachil and we trust that they will become sober and see that the Basel N 59 | experas Mission never will stand between them and the highest standard of empafin spiritual life, and they will finally find out who really seeks 'their 1y ek interest: the Mission or their present leaders. What entirely prevents he St us from seeing in this movement a power for good and a work of g 6D ot God, is the uiter want of Christian charity, of sincerity and humility g v i in it. What shall we think of a spiritual movement, in which unday- dogmatically the leading idea is “a second grace”, «perfection”, sfed, wih “sinlessness” and which distinguishes ifself as to its outward appea- teathen, rence by an astounding neglect of the most elementary ethical gre 0 o principles, so that one gets the impression that the standard of nigh, perfection and sinlessness is easily attained by these ¢saints” in i e simply thinking lightly about sin and denying the name of sin to Of all, thses things which even an unconverted man would reckon to be sin. s fomfid course these leaders must have somebody to back them and in this respect another insincerity seems to reveal itself. The spiritual ho pisi i aly i s armoury of the ex-Catechist is “the Gospel Trumpet”. Its prophecies and its abuses of all Protestant Churches he repeats faithfully, he ) Seems ] k oo o has reached already so far as to call all Evangelical Churches *Pro- ol testant rubbish”. In the face of such utterances and such a spirit it is strange that these people look upon “Coimbatore” as their Nafire Pt head-quarters, that before doing mischief somewhere, they go there 55 ol I 01 to receive a mew power and that a faith-missionary who belonged formerly to the Basel Mission and who but lately in a pamphlet gave il 2% public utterance to his brotherly feelings and thankfulness towards iy Either what our the Basel Mission, is said to assist this ex-Catechist. gl opponents say about their connexion with Coimbatore and the faith- missionary must be mere pretention and untruth, or the brethren p e who back them must be absolutely ignorant about the spirit they ot hk i foster and the work they assist, as we cannot believe for a moment X Pm;jshfllf?-i that they look upon the Basel Mission and other Evangelical Missions as upon the Biblical Babel. Ll Mr. Peter, who under present circumstances may be said e bt it to have chosen the good part of a Missionary’s work: the ) g for preaching of the Gospel to the Hindus, as far as the many ut OPWE%; tribulations in his family permitted, has been busy in sowing ha{; e I 8* o 60 the good seed all over North-Malabar, and he thinks it all- fllen to important that an ambassador of Christ can testify to the it Telli Gospel-truth not only as one who has read, studied and under- afer the stood the Scriptures, but as one who speaks from his own 10 ey personal experience. Mr. Peter made a long journey to the tergd the northern border of his district. At a Hindu-festival up I Bi there he met with a good many Malayalis, and the magic Biablishme lantern attracted many people. It was encouraging to see il on v ¥ouad o how those Malayalis welcomed Mr. Peter just like an old good friend. Mr. Peter was also able at Payanur to assist Wefimes his Hindu-friends in getting a little Government Hospital, e i g which convinced some bitter enemies of Mission-work that e Yy Missionaries really wish to be their best friends. e {8 oy As to the work of the Bible-women at Cannanore we give ety the following extracts: Iy iud&pl B In the house of some Patter-women (the Brahmins of Malabar) the Bible-women read the first part of Luke 12. One of the women b by was struck by the 7th verse and said: «Is it really true that our W‘]Tk-sh()p 0 Creator does even know the number of our hairs? Then one cannot gfflmude a hide anything before Him. ' Oh how many sins have we committed, i) and He will ask account from us! Is it not so? In future I shall ey 19 take care not to do anything wrong.” The woman bought some Bible-portions. In the house of a Tiyan the end of Matthew 25 came home to the heart of a woman, who never before had heard L o about a day of judgment. She asked God’s forgiveness for her beginfliflg 4 manifold sins and complained of her utter inability to leave all and High Sthoc follow Christ. 00!\ up it The Weaving Establishment at Cannanore lost Mr. Schonthal, gmtel pa who for about 30 years had been connected with this esta- I U]l]O‘( blishment. When he left in March in the midst of many by, I manifestations of love and gratitude, his heart did scarcely Che”J t | forbode how soon the powers for destruction would be at I E g work there. My. Eidenbenz, upon whom the difficult task had Wy i 61 L ey 1 i 1 gl fallen to conduct the business at Cannanore with its branches fy to at Tellicherry and Chombala, had a quiet year especially d uode: after the congregation and the establishment had got rid of 1 s o two weavers, who by their un-Christian behaviour had embit- ey fo e tered the life of the Missionaries and Native Pastors long ago. il 1) F Mr. Eidenbenz in his interesting report compares the Weaving he mag Establishment with Noah’s ark. Up to this it was the custom that g 10 & only on very rare occasions a bird left this ark, and in most cases «found no rest for the sole of his foot” and returned to the ark, @ a0 ol r to sometimes as the raven of black unthankfulness, scmetimes as a dove with or without the olive leaf of sincere contrition. But since Mg some years a new hopeful period seems to dawn up: the dove finds ok i some dry place and remains there! Now this is on the whole what the founders of these establishments looked for: the members of our fe Vo g congregations arriving with the help of such establishments finally at an independent mode of living. Mr. Schonthal began long ago to assist weavers to have their own looms outside of his establishment. of Yabtw) Some have tried also without the help of the Mission to set up a f the woned work-shop of their own. If these cuttings keep up a relation of e {hat gratitude and sincerity with the mother-tree, nothing more can be ) o e desired. What took place in consequence of the strike belongs to 0 wmmi(tfd: 1 the year 1902. e ] g il 17 Tellicherry. yater A" good many changes took place at this station: at the ol o beginning of the year Mr. Ruhlond, Manager of the Christian s 1 b Jul High School, left for Europe, and Mr. Bader from Codacal Jegre & took up his work. Mr. Hiller at Tellicherry was sick for the greater part of the year and had to leave the station for a ) rS’chb‘nflml. { more congenial climate. He was transferred to Palghat and ] s ol Mr. Maue from Codacal took charge of the work at Telli- vl cherry town. id st The congregation (575), the greater part of which lives on b ol % Nettur-hill, about a mile distant from the town, leaves very 1t s b: 62 P absurdlt little to be reported on. From Mr. Frohnmeyer’s and My. Noah Fdapalaw’s reports on the Nettur-congregation we take the adl Ie following extracts: — thmgy ¢ b 0pe “There are not a few men and women who love our Lord Jesus i) The y Christ with all their hearts, they are, of course, also in Tellicherry wy } the little flock, but we are glad to say that they influence the public opinion and that such as are fleshly-minded must go more il f or less to the corner.

Mauwe works joyfully with his Pastor in the little ‘Hldemtm Tellicherry-congregation. There is the residence of the ex- Whogk ) 1l Catechist, of whom we had to say so much under Cannanore. S\{()H g { i But the soil seems not to be as fertile for this movement as 10t Hy (] I in some other places, our people are loyal towards their by Church, which provided them for 60 years in good and bad days with everything needful, and there seems to be the me necessary discrimination to prove the spirits, whether they are from God or not. For a short time there was at Tellicherry : Fll\l; B a feeble imitation of the meetings at Cannanore, but when b Hag 70N R AT oy 63 absardities and impropriefies were objected to, the charm went Mr. N fae s | and the matter dropped. Some attacks from outside were so clumsy and mannerless that even the eyes of the half-blind were opened. Lond Jess Telem The work of Evangelisation at this station is chiefly carried on by Mr. Samuel Ambattu, our well-experienced Evangelist, huenee fe f f g0 mre and by three Catechists; for the work amongst Hindu women g o about Nettur and in the town we have 4 Bible-women super- 99 1t S48 intended by Mrs. Frohnmeyer. | 3 nue Mr. Samuel Ambattu finds a great difference between the people i, Vil living in the town and those in the district. The latter, he thinks, orsuaded are far more accessible: they cannot do without God and are not so p the pi much exposed to temptations. An old Vakil, since last year out of fion. T service, testifies to the truth of this: “As a Vakil I did not think and e ate much of God, still less of truth, since I do cultivate my own field it things are different: there is no reason to deceive anybody, with s, - thoughts of God I fall asleep in the evening”, he said. Mr. Samuel , Yalayb thinks that in the town and out in the villages the crown of all our 3 s preaching must be the cross of Christ and that all keeping back of ] e lo Il what to some is a stumbling block and to others ¢ foolishness”, will [ 10 e avail nothing. At the same time he is of opinion that new ways 1 ey the to reach the hearts of the people must be found. Especially he | the PflS[@f thinks it highly necessary that we should not be satisfied with mere preaching, but should assure ourselves that the matter has been understood. He hopes and expects a good deal from our Mission- the i schools in this respect and we presume that it is with reference to 0 i ¢ f Mission schools out in the district, when he writes that schoolmasters (ool ought not to be satisfied with merely telling Bible-stories, but that et ® they ought to enter upon the subject matter and give account of Vchds t their own belief. ]d flfld %; ;3 From Mrs. Frohwmeyer’s report we take the following: {0 bt “First of all I have to mention the death of our old and faithful o 1 Bible-woman, Haunnah Hassan, who had been allowed to work for Tellidlt’lw‘ her Master during the last 18 years.

Some of ot by these take also a personal interest in the Bible-lessons.

Dogus The High School at Teilicherry-town was at the beginning of oliney! the year unfortunate enough to have a sick Manager. About the commencement of the second term Mr. Maue was trans- anote, T L ferred from Codacal to Tellicherry first as acting Manager , it du and then, after Mr. Hiller had left the station, as the permanent ofaris ¥ Manager. Mr. Maue threw all the enthusiasm of a young it 1 and energetic man into his work, and we hope that the school s under his management will have a flourishing period. The Iy ft? want of Christian masters is greatly felt at this school.

We take i 601"5’ if i hfls Iffl‘d il the following remarks from Mr. St. Chandran’s report: T0ung gy, “My first and chief visitors are those who apply for alms, the i g distribution of which is considered by many here to be the chief, if Uneede] not the sole, function of a Missionary or Pastor. And they demand A Sutglg such help as a right. There are several individuals who are very W6 i g indifferent towards church and religion and who seldom show their Mgiflgs i face in the church. There is no farmer in this congregation, nearly Hoy g 600 men and women are employed in the establishments. Besides ag b people who live and die in their filth and such as live only for their Dopulyy bl belly, there are also such as lead a satisfactory Christian life, and even mefllbers N a good number of excellent Christians, who lead a very exemplary mflfly Of 0 life. —Some of our people are under the influence of the anabaptists. a°CUHlpanie( They generally absent themselves from our church-services and do not fh § Ay partake of the Holy Communion with us. An ex-Catechist and a 1 by g number of vagrant preachers make circuits through the congregations in Malabar and they try to make adherents for themselves under the M(}A e gy pretext of reviving the congregations. It is very deplorable to see i h&\' ]lg among our people much disloyalty to the mother-church. For any @alt oy I trifling cause they would leave their own Church and join another, just barg like changing a coat.” tlg sy — it S 73 o Dtk Mr. Jaus tells us that the blacksmith mentioned in last very sl year’s Report (¢f: page 89) also during the last year of his ing: 41 b own accord engaged in preaching the Gospel. The family has there w1 taken now lodgings in the Poorhouse, and in consequence of it a new life commenced there. A very imporfant work at Calicut is the work amongst the young men. The temptations of so large a town are many, and, as we pointed out last year, some unruly fellows amongst 1 one, T them give a good deal of trouble to the Pastors of this big Iding of t congregation. My. Kiihner, the President of the Young Men’s elongs b Association, has furnished us with the following report: e Spitlt “The past year 1901 will always be an important year in the - under history of our Association; we may say that in this year the Association I, e ] has laid aside its children’s gown and exchanged it for the dress of a eport: young man. Up to this we revealed our humble existence in the shape o alns i of two meetings held in the building of the High School. Now we have succeeded after all, by the kind assistance of some friends, in renting o e chief»if a suitable and well-situated house for our Association. In this house ] they el fho are L} we are able not only to hold our meetings, but we can also give lodgings to our Secretary and six young men. We have a reading- o sor room and on a humble scale also something in the way of a library il i has been started. These changes evidently have made our Association gt BeSiif" popular amongst the young men in Calicut. The number of our | Oflly fo[ {hfl‘-’ il members rose at once from 50 to 163, amongst whom are a good many of our Hindu friends (25).— Of course such a rapid growth is rery eiemp LH'T accompanied with the danger of superficiality in so far as the ideal of e anabap;iszf o 0l [ this Association to bring young men into the fellowship with Christ, may be lost sight of, and so we must take care to keep this ideal of the i ot & Yo M..€. A, always prominent. We earnestly hope that in doing so gt our Association will safely pass through the critical period of its youth ! and having attained manhood will be a blessing to the population of ]lomhl 9[0?: Calicut in general and to our Calicut-congregation in particular. — Gh F()t Y N We are sorry to remark in conclusion that in some of the members of i 61 this Association an unfriendly feeling against the Basel Mission 10 e s 74 e manifests itself. As far as I can see, such feeling has beén caused and (g | is fostered by the insincere machinations of a certain party, very well Frieda, known by its unfair judging and condemning our Church and by its there she preaching sinless perfection. Ido sincerely hope that such members in n order course of time will come to see what this very Basel Mission has done gri:sho for the furtherance of our Association.—In conclusion we mention She talks that besides a number of guests the Bishop of Madras also paid a visit v the to our Association-room and addressed the young men there.” Tvo. In Annasheri (¢f. last year’s Report, page 86) again a i 56 family has been converted to Christ. Mr. Jaus hopes that b fh they will be able to remain where they are, although Moham- T medans and Hindus do not even allow them to draw water Gt o from their wells. What kind of people these new converts s fg are, may be seen from a word of the convert’s wife: “«I do not ety like to follow suit like a blind man, I myself want to arrive fhe wopg at a true insight” and with these words she asked for regular This i instruction. g gy An interesting case is that of the Brahmin-widow Lakshmabai, who 25 days after the death of her husband arrived at the Mission- st house in the white dress of a widow. Mr. Jaus tells us that she is heal’t ma,y only 20 years of age. Through Frieda, the wife of a clerk, at Ferrock ]}Ul'ti()ns 0 she had to some extent been acquainted with Christianity. When her U Superst tould husband saw that the Christian religion had begun to attract her heart, he tried his best to frighten her. He told her that such as embrace Uhook of Christianity will be tortured in an awful manner: their hands and feet 0y, JiF will be lamed, then having been blindfolded they will be forced to eat by cow-flesh. But otherwise he seems not to have molested her. Once Wiy fy when Mr. and Mrs. Jaus were passing by, he teased her saying: «Here they are, you can go with them Just now!” Soon after the man died. g Lakshmabai had to kindle the funeral pile and to perform other B Uiy { ceremonies. Her mother-in-law and a sister-in-law began to maltreat her, aud she made up her mind not to bear this any longer. For Ty some time she was wavering whether to make a pilgrimage or to become a Christian. As she could not come to a coneclusion, strange h] p& to say, she resolved to make Ganapati give a decision in this case. Wy ) R, o R e 75 o0 cangel Casting lots she drew a white rose, and consequently went to her friend rty, vy Frieda, who on her way to Coilandy took her at once to this place. From ch aud by there she came to Calicut, where she was ready to do any kind of work oh membesi in order to make herself useful. For the present she has to turn the ssion has dis grind-stone and is busy in learning to read and write in Malayalam.

But the whole work new (o was frustrated on the arrival of a Tamil youth, her relative, who pretending to be possessed by the spirit of the snake-god, persuaded for ] Qo a0t t0 Al 04 the woman to feed a snake and to devote herself to this worship. o] for 1 This superstition took hold of her to such an extent that from that time an estrangement between her and the Bible-women took place. The woman has gone back now to the Tamil-country, and it is the w 14 L\hmm earnest prayer of the Bible-women that the good seed sown in her af the M heart may spring up and bear fruit at some time.—Not many Bible- I Jf 88 fha portions could be sold: some want the books gratis, others are still o, ot M i so superstitious that they believe some calamity will befall them, iy, T b should they keep such a book in their house. One woman refturned fhrack hrh fh a book of the Psalms, as she detected some verses of lamentation 311011 s efllbfi in it. Maria works from 11 a.wm. till 5. p. m. in the female ward of il A h{tllda B the Hospital, praying with the sick, talking and reading to the po o (] women in the waiting-room. She thinks that the readiness to hear i stdhfl‘ 0 the Word of God is on the increase. Many people promise to become Christians after their recovery, a promise which as a rule is never fulfilled. Of course, also this kind of Mission-work is a o oy o sowing in hope like all the other endeavours to reach the hearts of oAl pol? men and to win them for Christ. ’ lougef In passing over to the Educational work at Calicut we ao‘e [ Jgrnt 4 take only the most important institutions. The High School, l 100 i under the management of Mr. J. Knobloch, shows the consider- g i fis® 10% e 76 A AT able number of 560 pupils (against 525 last year): 65 Mission. Christians, 43 Mohammedans, 1 Parsi and 451 Hindus. Two Wfrom | students in the higher classes, who had passed through the 25,7 whole school, died in one month. Mr. Knobloch found it dpsenter possible to visit them on their death-bed. In connexion with patir the High School there is an English Association, attended by Dot students of the three highest classes: it has reached its 7th fimenar year of age now. There is also a class for stenography e ( according to Pitman’s system and the enthusiasm of some nidenog students of this art seems to be unbounded. To the horror il fe of all those who are not acquainted with stenography, one of (i gy the students expressed the hope that ordinary writing in course i | of time would be supplanted by stenography. el 4 (hriiy In the Girls’ School at Chalapura a trial has been made with singing and the girls at Chalapura surpass the students of the i el High School in ability to learn European airs and choruses. Hempt The Christian Girls’ School (Lower Secondary) at Calicut, under the management of Miss Ehrensperger, will, as we hope, Four : be raised to the standard of a High School. The great pity thha,g with regard to this school is that there is a scarcity of school- by mistresses of a higher grade. They are such «rare birds” I?dfientS, | that we either cannot get them at all, or if we get some, 80 B,V his q many situations are open to them that at any time they may Mgy, threaten to leave us unless we increase their pay! Last year W ggng the school was in possession of the only two Protestant female- Pffi)'er al Matriculates of Malabar.— There are 152 girls on the roll, g 21 of whom are non-Christians. The Christian girls, we are b sorry to say, are often not properly nourished and that LI weakens their intellectual faculties to some extent. Seven girls were sent for the Lower Secondary Examination and Doy lep( 6 passed. For the greater part of the year Dr. Wittenberg, who by g belongs to our Mission in China, was in charge of our Medical i%sion b >4 e 77 i Jeat) Mission. From his report we take the following remarks Tindus, Ty « From 1st January to 30th November there were 9,954 patients | through and 25,710 consultations. Malaria, eye-diseases, elephantiasis, och found§ dysentery and diseases of the lungs are especially prevalent. nnexion i In-patients we had 265 with 5,869 days of treatment. 12 , attendel patients died, and 490 operations took place, 18 under chloro- ached ifs T form-narkosis and 5 successful cataract-operations. - stenogng One Christian youth distinguished himself by great patience and st of s confidence in God. Chittaren, a boy 10 years of age, helped to cheer To he o up all the patients, for his joyfulness in spite of a crushed leg was aphy, quite inexhaustible. When his leg had to be dressed he would ask a ting n o plantain to bear the pain better, and when the pains were over, he asked a second one for having behaved so well! There was also a Christian girl, 13 years of age, over whom the house had broken down oon madel whilst she looked after her little sister; she had broken her leg very tudans badly, but was always joyful and patient. Her joy at the first successful o chorust attempt at walking was indescribable. 7)o (ol Four miles from Calicut the Municipality offered a place ] s web with a garden for a mnew Leper-Asylum, the sanction by he grt 1 Government is outstanding. In our Asylum there were 42 qiyl s yO : patients, of whom 12 died, amongst them also our faithful Mose. rare b ) Uet S0, By his quiet and peaceful influence he has done much for the maintaining of order and peace in the Asylum, which is by e ey no means an easy thing amongst lepers. He also conducted i [ 1 prayer and Bible-meetings amongst his fellow-sufferers. Upon st 1 | his approaching death he looked up to his Saviour with a ) g (0 e firm belief and remained patient to the last, submitting him- giflsy i ?fi i self to the will of God. Dr. Wittenberg closes his request by jed 8 saying: «Mose is a precious fruit of the work amongst these M pt, ¥ poor lepers. May the Lord grant unto us many a fruit of ghion & this kind!” i In conclusion we offer a few remarks on the Industrial f il Mission at Calicut (the Mercantile Branch, Weaving Establish- f our i 78 In the month of nursery ment, Tailoring and Tile-Works at Pudiarakal). of May last year Mr. Manasse Jacobi, the faithful head-clerk ofhens £o fler child for all the different Branches of the Industrial Mission, cele- brated the semi-jubilee of the service in the Mission with a I, I‘(fihn thankful heart for all the benefits, which he has received from troming God His co-workers joined with great enthusiasm. The Mercantile Mission lost Paul Hulikkal, the shipping clerk after 27 years’ service, a very faithful assistant, who not only in his office, but also in his own house has set the example of an earnest Christian. Considering the competition on all sides hothing and the unfavourable times Mr. Hofmann, the head of this gt bt branch, has every reason to be thankful to God for the blessing which He has laid also upon this branch of our work. i ) if f The Weaving Establishment at Calicut, with a branch at Codacal, B 0 gy tat i gives employment to 274 Christians (144 men and 89 women at Calicut, and 25 men and 16 women at Codacal). Mr. Buesch, il 3 fle P who takes a great interest in the temporal and spiritual Hlirtp | welfare of his workmen, feels very thankful that in spite of ey, | many anxieties and manifold difficulties the Establishment has gy passed through a year of prosperity.

Later i e g on he went to the police, and being very ambitious he did not shrink I U, £} back from all kind of injustice or oppression in order to make himself conspicuous. He rose to the position of a Head-Constable. After a service it elaho Ui of 16 years he took a bribe in order to implicate an innocent man in g g ey Wy a case of theff. The poor man committed suicide and suspicions were 0 raised against Subhagan. In the law-suit following this he lost his ill- Iy, gotten money and his position in the police. He went to the Wynaad, was a maistry on some estate for some time, contracted malaria there, b Mfifl&lke came down to Ottapalam and from there to the Hospital at Vaniyan- sllpetgm‘m kulam. Here he was a diligent reader of the Holy Scriptures and Oyl h&d b ? finally testified to his belief in Christ. His day of baptism was a day of repentance and of joy.— Another convert was the sister of the fell Sifik, t bugy, . compounder in the Hospital.

After that, we are promlsed glad to hear, she gave no further cause of complaint The Hospital at Vaniyankulam under the superintendence of our Doctor at Calicut reports of 8,990 out-patients, 113 in- patients and 2,870 days of treatment.

A festival was held in the neighbourhood and every day the procession with the idol passed by. Noble women on elephants’ backs g 1 accompanied the procession and a fine opportunity was offered to our FOAR 108 agents to preach to these native ladies, who otherwise would have been s 00 the beyond our reach. The ladies made the elephants walk very slowly i and and stopped the music in order to hear them preach.— Mr. Walter alshe sa1 met also with inhabitants of the forest, who worship a god called by God Maleshvara. In talking about him they point to a prominent rock visible on the mountains. They invited Mr. Walter to pay a visit to Gl b bt them up there and promised to become Christians all in a body (!). In the north-east of Angadipuram the people know scarcely anything of The sty the Gospel and were very dejected in consequence of cholera having Yokl made great havoc amongst them. They complained that all their sacrifices had been in vain. Mr. Walter writes : “It was a pitiful sight Wl 5 s e when a Nayar, 91 years of age, who had lost almost all his relatives, E‘:'U]Zfll}l by sat before us and asked us: ¢By reason of what have I deserved all this, having committed not a single sin all my lifelong?’ We have ifiere PFOFet been successful in leading the poor man to a consciousness of sin.— In the house of a Nayar we were received very kindly. The Nayar admitted that all their gods could not forgive sins. The Lord’s Prayer and its explanation made a great impression on him, and he wrote it down with his iron peneil for daily use.” iy gy iy you The experiences of the Bible-women at Vaniyankulam are hr ) very encouraging indeed. Often they came to a woman, who Iflflflflry 19 led a very bad life and for a long time she did not like to see them at all.

After thi gy having passed his examination as a Catechist in 1899 he was stationed B g at Perambera and had the privilege of working together for some by, years with Paul Karunakara, whom he greatly venerated and whom he i iy attended until death removed that remarkable man.

The congregation (431 souls altogether) CONVEtsA at Palghat itself lives partly at Melparambu, a hill near the ond Lo Tile-Works at Olavakkodu. My. Timothy Parakandi is in o darkest charge of this part of the congregation. From his report ot Do we take the following remarks: b rememh@?&i dnob e “The number of inquirers has gone down somewhat, partly because g, al il the famine has subsided and partly because people have begun to comprehend that the Mission expects them to maintain themselves by ordp B e Tadaead working with their own hands. Such members of our congregation as peachng 1 went regularly to work had no difficulty in supporting their families last year; some have been even able to build their own houses or to lay i T ] geprnt something aside for days of need. A spirit of opposition and rebellion against superiors, such as showed itself in some other congregations, e el did not make itself felt here. But an impending strife between two e o parties had to be prevented with a strong hand. The aftendance at church-services is satisfactory.’ 5 A very extraordinary baptism took Mg m i figh place at Kanani. There one Raman, who had heard the Gospel in the tther for i days of Mr. Hebich and who was very well acquainted with Christianity and its history, called for Mr. Timothy and after having spoken about i 0 his previous life and sins he asked for baptism. When asked about gy 1 his wife and son, he said that the son should be converted first and Lth 1, ¥ it . that he had separated from his wife in obedience to Matt. 5, 32! fo ot Er i Mr. Timothy invited him to come to Palghat, to confess his faith op 4l publicly and to be baptised there (many years ago the day of baptism 31 iod fl‘fl " had been fixed already, but Raman ran away then), or if in his house, iz hug* it must be done in presence of some Christian brethren. Raman gave ! LA an evasive answer to the effect that he had written to somebody and e after having got a reply he would communicate with Mr. Timothy i again. A few weeks after Mr. Timothy, to his great astonishment, heard il i iy i that a Missionary of some other society had come and baptised the dir filth J e S 88 Gl < b ) man, although perfectly unacqainted with him. Raman after that lors o seemed to be cheerful, but he never showed any desire for fellowship 0 $0 with other believers or to partake with other children of God of ouses | spiritual blessings and edification. He wants to be alone and he is it never visited by the person who baptised him. "’ it he Also Mr. Kiihnle reports of some admissions to the Church. o e In spite of the resistance of Devapriyan’s father, the mother of denity our dear Devapriyan, 50 years of age, offered herself for baptism. (ol Whilst undergoing instruction, her son died and her people prevailed it 4 greatly upon her not to follow her two sons, however her desire for m b ; baptism did but increase. About the same time Soyambu, her younger I i brother, followed suit, after having been for some time a diligent reader i A0S of the Scriptures. Previously when his elder brother Satyagrahi, a schoolmaster at Wadackencheri, was unfaithful towards Christianity, Tt his younger brother had exhorted him not to prove disloyal, although ey he himself owing to the resistance of his wife held back at that time. b When his nephew Devapriyan died, he came and stood aghast. He T fell sick afterwards and whilst feeling something like the horrors of T {iok 1 hell, he promised his Saviour to surrender himself to His care. He i i h(\ug recovered and kept his promise. Sometimes he looked very sad, thinking iy of his wife who would not follow him. On the 21st April he was by baptised at Wadackencheri with Vellatshi (now Maria), the mother of i Devapriyan. Soyambu’s wife attended the service, but she would not ol believe people who prophesied that she too would follow. But soon after Mgone she came and asked for baptism to the great joy of Joseph, her Uiy Christian husband. How wonderful what God has done in this family iy, during the last 10 years! Thus on the 15th December also Thayi, 0y who meanwhile had grown marvellously in knowledge, was added to g gy the Church of Christ, and her new name is Hannah. On Christmas ot there was again a baptism of 14 souls at Palghat. Amongst these By there was a Nayar, who had been excommunicated from his caste and b Bi would have gone to the Moplas, had his elder brother not advised him to join the Christians.

Mr. Kiihnle feels very sorry that 4 persons, who were very near to the Kingdom of God, were called to the Churd r e mother o eternity before they came to a decision. Some of them (f.e. for- baptsn Mulli) have been mentioned in former Reports. One Pallani- ple prevafled velan at Kuttanur used to show hospitality to Mr. Kiihnle or deste on his' preaching tours; he cared for him as a father D yomge for his son, and regularly attended the morning and evening Tigent e prayers. atyagnl That the work of the Bible-women is not always very Christu] pleasant, may be seen from the following extract: p)‘aL Blthfi‘]gh af fhat 0 “In Kijamuri we met in the house of a rich Tharagan many women who were however not inclined to listen to our good message. 1 ags B b homs i We took no heed of this and entered the veranda.

Liitze gives us the description of the extensive work Bl o carried on at his station under the following heads: «Casting btk ol out of the net”, «The draught”, «In the net” and <At the shore?. g “Pfli\gi]}g As to the casting out of the net or the work of Evangeli- Kt ( sation on the Hills these compare very fairly with other ity districts. One very satisfactory feature is the fact that the LAY members of our congregations there more fully than in any bty other district are conscious of their position as a Mission Ol Church. The members of the Young Men’s Association at Kaity b Wiy along with some members of the congregation assist the preach- 1 by ing of the Gospel with singing and playing their violins iy, He gy and cymbals, which seems to be appreciated by the Badagas. At a funeral a Badaga spoke very disparagingly of the Kota- music, praising at the same time the music of the Christians. Uiy alld l)ehafim The most inaccessible district seems to be Todanaad. By some conversions the animosity of the people did but increase; Hin I 5)0ng] however in one village the people listened quietly to our gy gy preaching. Mr. Mose Kari relates that at Kendare a Badaga 5, rushed against him like a lion, shouting out that in this Uy village nobody would be allowed to preach. Notwithstand- ing this prohibition the Catechist went in and the same man bl g came afterwards and offered a meal to the Evangelist. In U f%l f ] the big village Kateri on the occasion of a funeral our \{en 00 agents spoke of the day of judgment. Two well-educated men afterwards asked questions about Christ, the first and second I § S e 91 T4 gl resurrection, on the millennium, Christ’s government with the saints, and they asked also what their fate would be in the future world. Five or six years ago there was much more God has opposition and contradiction amongst these people. spoken in manifold ways to them and has humbled their pride. Part of this casting out of the net is also the work of our sive work Bible-women. Also Mrys. Liitze testifies to the change which (astng has taken place in the attitude of people towards the Mission- d oAt the aries. “ Passing the house of the brother of Daniel (see below) and of the [ Bragel Assistant Catechist Isaiah I could not help but remember the intense pith ot hatred of this man on the occasion of the conversion of his father and f that fi brother. In those days when Mr. Liitze once went to the house of his father he twisted ropes together with the intention of tying Mr. Liitze an 10 4 g Missm to the post of his veranda. He said also mockingly: ‘It seems you n at iy have nothing to do, come along, you may tend my buffaloes!’ And now how kindly he looked at us!—The old Manyagara at Kerehada e pl‘@&lfih' (father of Devi Shanti below), after we had read the Scriptures with i TI008 the women in his house, said: ¢ Yes, the Christian religion is good, the Dadagas Ten Commandments are good, we all should obey the God of the the Kot Christians, but in some Christians I cannot see much of Christian life hristals and behaviour.’ However he admitted Daniel at Kerehada to be an wd. B examplary Christian.” Mrs. Liitze told him that in eternity he would ncrea be responsible for his own person. Also at Kerehada the Badaga- O women are much more willing to hear the Gospel than in former jh 3 Badagh years, and a woman at Halhada said: ‘Formerly when we saw Christians, we grew angry and abused them, how furious we have t i thh been against you, Bible-women! Now things have changed greatly: all sl anger and hatred have gone; when I behold you at some distance, I e il feel constrained to call you, and the whole of the day we would like to it b listen to you when you tell us the Word of God.”” el W} Myr. Stier, whose work consists in the supervision of a o | whole net of village-schools (more than twenty) and in preach- | gl 1% s 23 92 ing the Gospel to the Badagas, is also of opinion that on the [ns whole the population on the Hills is not inaccessible. People iy M give very often their assent to the Gospel-truth. At Kalhatti bl dsn a woman has lost all confidence in her little Ganapati. She amongst walui threw earth into his face, saying: «What the Missionary says imy, 48 is true, you are no God, you hear nothing, you see nothing, st you are doing nothing and you are not able to do anything. el How much have I sacrificed to you, how often invoked you st fo and complained to you about my distress, but you have bt lloweg never rendered me any help.” — Mr. Stier brought two fnfision Kurumba-children to Kaity; the parents had died in 1900 s el 4 owing to the famine. A writer there persuaded the Kurumbas r Tt to hand the children over to the Mission. The Catechist Iinde g Isaac for some months tended them. Mari (afterwards A o] Margaretha) was put in the Girls’ Orphanage at Kotagiri te ey and died there. Mara (Mark) remained in the Boys’ Orphan- WS 0 o age at Kaity. Whilst writing this report we hear that the 0 the J(1 o fy gl boy has also died. ) Fanteg Mr. Stokes, residing at Coonoor together with Catechist g g Karl Satyanathan, carries on the Cooly-Mission on these Hills. by There are 14 plantations at the least, where they are per- ¥ hec&me ‘ mitted to preach to the coolies.

But how strange: two days before Devi otagh was to be re-admitted, she returned to Kaity, asked for forgiveness and ) (rphat on the 10th November she was baptised and is called Shanti now. — that te Also in the Kaity-village a conversion took place. The father long ago wanted to become a Christian, but the family prevented him from (atechi carrying out his wish. Now in 1894 the son of this family was oo Jilb baptised, but his sister succeeded in influencing her brother so far, that he became a backslider and afterwards he took to drinking and conse- e e quently ran into debts. However he never felt easy after that. He , st 1] fell sick and asked his sister to call for the Missionary, which she ," hearers refused to do.

He was brought first to the Hospital at Fmds Ootacamund, from there to Calicut His non-Christian brother went b “Oflglea with him to Calicut and brought him back, when he desired to die amongst his own people In spite of great weakness he used to sing Sfime f and to pray.

It was worthwhile all the struggle. coning i Out of Christ there is nothing but fighting and dissension.” One hool 1s e of his last words was: «Oh how I look forward to behold Jesus!” phanigs ¢ Truly one of our Catechists said: “Daniel was a shining gem in our congregation.” oys and I alags ; further ¢ 24 Kotagiri. tare A My. Grossmann in reporting on the congregation there of the it (152 souls), mentions that the members of the Young Men’s ary D on of te Association are persevering in their good work: they go on Sunday mornings out to the villages in the neighbourhood e tel[S us) and on the evenings attend the bazaar-preaching or visit the eqtlts & sick. i te We hope this practical Christianity will keep the Association warm and alive. In December they had their ored 8 anniversary and Dr. Stokes, our Medical Missionary, being of personal present, he addressed the young men.— Mr. Jacob Kanaka, the Native Pastor of the congregation, relates of 11 adults oo il and 3 children, who were baptised on the 23rd of June. a1 I'GflHF There was an old man, 50 years of age, amongst them. Once he was an influential man and full of ambition, now he has Also an old woman, Badigh ol become very small in his own sight. 80 years of age and forsaken by all her relatives, was in g tmggle, di‘ their midst; she died soon after. As to the spiritual life of fogh!? the congregation Mr. Jacob writes: ofher “flf « Some try to walk as children of God, they love the Word of Lk God and keep up family-prayer; however our congregation lacks in used Wifl? spiritual life. In order to become light and to dispense light an gal ji% i ~96 outpouring of the spirit of God is greatly wanted. Mzr. Jacob tells i qleasant us that Christmas has been a festival also for the non-Christian pupils of the Kotagiri-schools. al we | They assemble round the church, addresses are held, the boys have some recitation, receive their lysto for t} presents, have a look in the afternoon at the Christmas-tree and go joyfully home.” {03 been tlinged From 23rd to 27th September a course of instruction was held for all the Catechists on the Hills. For some hours in e 26w 1 the foremoon the Missionaries with the Catechists went to Hiends (I Diseat an some Badaga-villages; in the afternoon the 1st Epistle to s Timothy was explained, some periods of the Church-history were gone over and dnd ) sermons and 2 catechisations were By : ] held. At the social meeting held at the end of these days ad 5 Kot § an animated conversation took place about good and bad customs in our congregations.— The ladies of the work-meet- Ty of ing at Kotagiri were very busy also last year. The proceeds Uinby i of these meetings in favour of our Mission have been even mf famm Rs. 100 this year. bl 1 vy ey About the preaching of the Gospel to the Badagas and other tribes on these Hills Mr. Jacob remarks: Iy (ame v “QOur preaching does not meet with great opposition; monotheistic 4% [ views being in operation in many hearts. Mohammedans are aware ihe TeCiy of this and they use all their influence as creditors of so many e Badagas, especially in these hard times of famine, to win people over to their religion by carnal and crafty arguments. They have been g gy successful in one case. A gl A young convert to Mohammedanism, Abdulallah Karim, has been sent to Vellore in order to be trained diSObedienC there as a Mohammedan missionary for the Nilgiris. But on the "‘imes 0 | whole Mohammedanism is not popular on these Hills. The days of ity Tippu Sultan are not yet forgotten.” My Grossmann feels very thankful that some of the planters in his district have begun to show great sympathy with Mission-work amongst their coolies. He spent some /—fi’“& W o el - Jatoh t on-Chifin pleasant da,ys in August on the estate of Mr. Temple Wilson, and we hope that the many addresses delivered in those he chunh, eoee fher days to hundreds of coolies have not been without blessing. free and 9 For the Girls’ Orphanage at Kotagiri the year under review has been a very eventful one. The building was considerably enlarged and on Ascension-day (15th May) the girls occupied nction v 16 hours the new rooms, on which occasion a large number of Mission- fs weut B friends (Englishmen, Danes, Americans and Germans) were present and gave addresses. The year had commenced with Bpiste 0 38 girls in the school, at the end of the year there were 56. pochhisy 23 new girls were admitted (13 from Kaity and 10 from Kota- ationg Tt giri) and 5 left the institution (2 by death and 2 ran away). these (3 A great difficulty in the way of educational work is the variety of languages: the school-language being Tamil, the worknét church-language Canarese, and the family-language Badaga. e proed With famine-children the disappointments are not few. Kappi, , fogn 1t a girl 14 years of age, had been advised by her uncle fto drown herself; she preferred to go to the Christians. After i plagis having been well fed she ran away. Madi, 9 years of age; came with her father, a sister 3 years of age, and a brother 41 years old, all sick to death. Her father and sister died, she recovered with her brother, but both felt like birds in a o %0 il cage. When the spring came they ran away, but they were e i found and brought back. Bigger girls coming from outside and already educated the wrong way, give great trouble by s bt [ e danffifll: disobedience, idleness, quarrelling, lying and stealing. Some- o be i times on Sunday-afternoons Mr. and Mrs. Grossmann take it thfi' the girls to Tondenad, Dehakenare or Miledenu, where an g 0" open-air-service will be held. I i ‘J : sjml’m gpeflt o ‘ 13 e i 98 e Looking back once more over the whole of our Mission- foom | field we are thankful to say that the work of Evangelisation mile a0 It 1s not so much Ohandra has not been without blessing from above. the number of new converts that deserves to be pointed out, e, as the pleasing change in some districts, which we almost 100 frue, (tristin bhad been accustomed to look upon as barren ground. We say so especially with reference to Coorg and Southern uy ofhe Mahratta. The number of new converts in Canara is also nfward on the increase again, we call especially attention to the Iy iy large number of catechumens (most of them at Udipi), which 1y B g v! augurs well for the current year. Also on the Nilgiris the mat of ey gathering in of souls from only two stations makes our heart rejoice. There is a considerable falling off in the number i p of baptisms in Malabar, which is perhaps not so much due Mo ¢ to a decrease in the susceptibility to the Gospel, but rather 0t pogs in a greater caution and reluctance on the side of the Mission- cantempt ) aries to admit inquirers to our congregations. We have been Chigg compelled to use greater precaution for two reasons, which befongg J perhaps stand in an inward relation to each other. The one for the [ reason is the difficulty we experience in providing our con- Wity verts with a living which our Mission in obedience to a kind the G()Sp{ of tradition always has been very anxious to give to new- comers. The Establishments are full and no new openings mplyy can be found for the present, in consequence of which some Ul 2 who come only for bread’s sake, are disappointed and retreat b1 of their own accord; while others must be sent away. The Wiy other reason is the spirit prevailing in some of our congre- Wity % gations. If Christians are led away so easily from the sound it fy, and biblical teaching by our Mission to the unsafe ground of Uhiny human dreams and human revelations, if without the slightest Yoy trace of thankfulness they compare the Establishments founded e for their help and benefit with ¢the bondage of Egypt’, there a i can be no doubt that the entrance-door to our Mission and spiritua] - 99 Sl 3 Missn to our Establishments must sometimes have been opened too el wide and too liberally. We call attention to Myr. Stephan bsomut | Chandran’s remark (page 72) about the disloyalty of our inted o, | people, which severe judgment, we are sorry to say, is only e i | too true. It may be called a psychological problem that uud. T k Christians belonging to a Mission, which perhaps more than Southen | any other Mission Society takes pains to ameliorate the 1015 40 outward condition of its adherents, distinguish themselves o fo e by disloyalty and utter want of attachment. Whatsoever may be our shortcomings in dealing with Native Christians, ipi), hie il want of love and sympathy cannot explain this strange phenomenon. ot et In our isolated position as German Mission- he nuald aries in this country we have always found it easy and a much 1t pleasure to identify ourselves with our Christians. There is hu { it more reason to think of the proverb: «Familiarity breeds contempt”, which however should not be the case amongst (e Miss Christians. o Jare bess The real solution of the problem, we think, must SO0 it be found just in the care— perhaps over-care — of our Mission for the earthly concerns of our Christians, which has been Thed o our (0 misunderstood and misused by our people. If in one hand the Gospel, and in the other hand employment, be offered, 10 il unconverted people are in danger of looking only upon the e f0 F employment and of honouring and loving the Missionary only so far as he is instrumental in procuring a livelihood. il [,’J He is to them only the bread-giver, and Christians being not (B AL b accustomed to look up to him for spiritual advice and spiritual gifts, finally see in their Mission chiefly an Establish- our flfllt ment for the purpose of giving them a livelihood. This the SOW’ i explains the fact that some of our Christians, who have got ) ground 1 employment outside of the Mission, think that with this also e s]igh teslf ) ceases their attachment and their loyalty towards the Mission, )flt) fou]]{Jie i and it explains also partly our newest experience that i | pt spiritual nourishment from outside, howsoever unhealthy s 13* — 100 e L S and doubtful it may be, is liked better than the old Gospel truth, to which neither the ear nor the heart had been given before. We have got our lesson and we write this as a warning for such as are prepared to go in for Industrial Missions. May they learn from our experience, how to avoid | Dinted such dangers! As to the Gospel, which we preach, we have nothing to reform. Since the days of Hebich, Gundert and other men of God of blessed memory up to this the foundation of our Mission has been the Word of God and nothing else. ke, Looking at the extravagances at Cannanore, the boundless S, o Tte Firg | subjectivity devoid of common sense and Christian tolerance, irinfhia we fully agree with Professor Dr. von Orelli, who specially Tt e with reference to this kind of movements says: «In opposition Wihiay e iy to these reveries one should learn to appreciate more fully 0T, » again the value of the objective apostolic truth of salvation, Tt i as it was brought to light again and confirmed by Dr. Luther i (glsg and other reformers and men of God, else one will be carried T By 14 fyg about with every wind of doctrine and before being aware T Ty of it, he will have become a servant of men.” T Episfle f The TWO ) !
