She or a}flifi had come out to India with her husband in 1900 and after two ague, & years spent at Mangalore, in the first days of 1902 both had to yefor; ” go to Malpe, near Udipi, where in the hot season her constitution j e v broke down completely. Her end was all peace and joy. i o At Stuttgart on the 3rd October Dr. E. Liebendérfer e 1l o (so well known in connection with the Medical Mission at i sma]]po; Calicut) was called to rest. Towards the end of the year at sont" Kirchheim (Wiirttemberg) Mrs. Miiller, the wife of the Rev. Chr. Miiller, late of Tellicherry, and some months before Mrs. el MOLLER, the wife of the Rev. Fr. Miiller, late of Tellicherry, ! departed this life. 5* A RGN 20 B. Native Workers The year under review closed with 17 Pastors against 18 l in 1901, one having been deputed for itinerating work. The Aty number of Evangelists is unchanged e nf There are now 117 Catechists against 113 in 1901 if the We are sorry to report the death of two very faithful fellow- (anara workers Paul Sneham, born 1834 and baptised in 1856 has he served as a Catechist for about 42 years and with full assurance awrepta of eternal life departed life at Chowa.— On the 14th June meatly there died at Kaity Cat. Jesaja Shanta. This ardent young 0 haye man was taken away from us in the midst of faithful and 0 hegr hopeful work amongst his own people, and his loss will be felt s th for a long time on the Nilgiris, where men of his stamp of T § character are so greatly wanted. He was born in Nerkambe Dague in 1868 and was a grandson of Abraham, the first-fruit amongst he the Badagas He was allowed to serve only for 12 years and leah leaves a widow with 4 children behind him Hingy At Tellicherry, at the beginning of 1902 Rev. Diego My Fernandez, a pensioned pastor of our Mission, died. Born in Tefgeq 1830, he commenced work as a Catechist in 1852, when he was thunche consecrated to the service of God by the third Home-Secretary Mocggq of our Mission, the Rev. J. JoseNHANS, who was then out here b, 4, on a visitation-tour In 1872 he was ordained After a ud, | service of 24 years he was pensioned in 1896 and spent the fiy remaining days of his life at Tellicherry, where he had com- Songyy menced his service in 1852 It 1s with pleasure we note that in March 1902 four 8 students of the Nettur-Seminary and in July two students from Hityg the Catechists’ School at Kaity passed their examinations and By were consecrated to the service of God. Py f Of Assistant Catechists we had 14, as compared with 15 g in 1901, one of them having resigned. 13“011( B 21 II. EVANGELISTIC WORK_. agaist 1 Manifold, as will be shown below, have been the work, Tt endeavours to bring the population of our Mission-field within the influence of the Gospel. The efforts, as far as extension 01 of the work is concerned, were greatly impeded last year in bl fellov: Canara and S. Mahratta by plague. Whether this awful disease i 16 has been partly instrumental or not in preparing hearts for 1] assuwane acceptance of the Gospel we should like to know, but opinions 14th Ju greatly differ on this point. “The hearts of the people do not seem dent you to have been turned to the Lord by plague. Some men like ithful wl to hear our opinion on this matter; Mohammedans take it will be fe‘x' amiss that Christians, in comparison with them, fared so well.” s st U This is the impression of one Missionary in Canara, where Netknl plague appeared for the first time this year. Another worker i Ao in the field felt that during these days of uncertainty and 2 yeal\: Hl]t]l death many looked about for some firmer support than Hinduism. The oracles of Hinduism were equivocal as to the "e\," Diego significance of this occurrence. We are told that one Bhuta § Do : refused to accept a sacrifice, directing his devotees to the churches of the Christians, from where the evil was said to proceed; another oracle was that plague was a punishment of e-Searel o 0111 God, the Almighty, and that people should repent and turn to At ! God. In new fields of labour the vastness of one’s sphere is l bpem 1l often simply overwhelming. Such is the feeling of the Mis- Jad (o sionary at Puttur in the Uppinangadi-Taluk, alone with 2 Assistants amongst more than 200,000 souls! The experience 1907 f(lT i Southern Mahratta is exactly the same. In some parts the (‘fl attitude of Hindus is so friendly that, in spite of all fatalism, On\t'l plague and famine seem to have effected something, in other Al parts fatalism prevailed and the visitations of God seem to >d ‘fld‘ ; have passed by without leaving any. traces. How friendly the relations between Christians and Hindus sometimes are may ke Jon be seen from the fact that a Hindu-family collected money for (Rs. 50) in order to enable a poor Christian relative to marry. In Malabar, with very few exceptions, our Evangelists have them been well received. It 1s characteristic of the estimation in wth 1 which the Gospel is held that a temple-priest in introducing his a0 son to the manager of a school said: “Sir, take him and make £Ames something better of him than I am!” In some parts of Malabar e ¢ the Moplas exhibit not only great zeal in making proselytes, Clrst which is nothing new, but also in preaching against Christianity. fnend Our Hvangelists meet here and there at Hindu festivals with 1 the Mohammedan counter-preachers. Also two. young Hindus in the hlst South entered the lists not so much as champions for Hinduism Mot ¢ as assailants of Christianity. For this purpose they have also 10 the started a new paper in Malayalam, styled “the Beacon of 'a‘ king Malabar”. Lucus a non lucendo. oy The attitude of a good many of our educated Hindus is 1 one which gives rise to great hopes for the future. Some feel b gl really attracted by Christ and His Gospel and seem anxiously ChrisT. to wait for something which will in a painless manner disconnect U them from their present environments and carry them over to vy ch a world, in which their hearts already move. Our full sympathy is with these wrestling souls, who really want something and 1y (Matth. 19, 21). “No pains, no gains.” Others, intellectually beliye convinced of the truth, vainly endeavour to escape that painful s struggle with “flesh and blood” by sheltering themselves behind thaf he excuses and rhetorical artifices, sometimes not conscious of b it their being mere sophistries. Paying homage to Christ In 0 g glowing language and praising Him in highly complimentary Heagiy phraseology they distinguish between Christ and Christianity, gy between an occidental Christ and an oriental Christ. These Plllful n amiable disciples of Keshab Chandra Sen seem mot to feel that (nfy this so-called “oriental Christ” could not well have spoken such words as we read in Matth. 10, 32, 33; 16, 24. 25; Luke 8, 21; gy P T 23 S ed 1o John 12, 25. 26; 14, 6; 15, 14. Not a few appear to wait 10 T, for the solution of some intellectual problems standing between elists them and a full acceptance of Christ. Intellectual problems mation I with reference to Hinduism seem not to trouble them, and they ucing approach Christianity from the wrong side. If they are in and maké earnest, let us hope that they too will be so led as to find the of Malabu true entrance to the temple of truth and the way leading to prosely Christ: John 7, 17; Acts 16, 30. This attitude of our educated st friends very often finds its expression amongst ordinary people tiyals il in the excuse: “We may also obey the teachings of Christ ndus e whilst being Hindus, better than many so-called Christians.” ¢ Hinduso Most of these excuses, though literally true in their application e i to the question at issue, must be pronounced to be self-delusions, a kind of opiate intended to satisfy for a time the cravings of Beacon i immortal souls and to silence the voice of conscience. However Findw it is something, if people acknowledge that Christ must needs Gome be obeyed; it shows how self-evident is the authority of Christ. ) qngo! (isconné a) Some of the experiences of our itinerating Agents are em 0781 ¢ | very characteristic for the spirit of this age. In Canara a man, I in the presence of our preachers, threw his Ganapati into a river syl and in an ironical sermon he exhorted his own people “to sometml believe in the one God”. 1te]1€€[”?£5 More hopeful it sounds that a native physician received our Evangelists in his house and told them that Pfiflfli that he neither believes in Bhutas nor gods but reads the Bible. In spite of the opposition of his wife and children he hoped nsgious ' to become a Christian. (it Women, conservative as they are, occasionally offer a most decided opposition. “What does it ]phmeni concern you, if I go to hell?” one said. On the whole it is a ‘hfl&[l Tl pitiful sight to behold that in spite of new exertions made in bl D order to galvanise the dead body of Hinduism, even with the 0 fal masses genuine piety seems to be at a very low ebb and that 1t i mere superstition and custom take its place. The plantain- ke _24 e el leaves from which Brahmans . have eatefi are still held in From veneration, old and young still roll in the dust before temples, (I 161 but getting up, they feel ashamed and do not hesitate to say: (st “Tt is all nonsense, but it is our custom”. Of course this o | W religious indifference can scarcely be called pure gain for the fuit cause of the Gospel. “The doors are open, but the hearts he i | are shut’’, is the impression of a Missionary. Religious indifference land There cannot be expected to be a hopeful soil for the Gospel. 1065 was greater opposition formerly, but in those days it also Bhuta happened that a rich farmer in the Tulu country went to the Th market only for the purpose of hearing the Gospel. Now-a- beep, days the thought of becoming a Christian for a good many b | seems mnot to be accompanied with such a heart-pang as Ingy et 'fqrmerly; valas, the heart has nothing to do with the matter! It has become business, a mere bargain with them. An attentive nothllng youth is ready to embrace Christianity, if a college-education I, is guaranteed him; an official wants only his debts to be paid Iy by the Mission. A Gaunda with his family has given up the I T worship of Bhutas, but he refuses to permit the idols to be if g removed from his house. “Let them be eaten up by the white Mineq ants; I do not like to lay my hands upon them,” he says. Daple Another one candidly assured the Catechists that Bhutas in our te, days are deprived by robbers of their ornaments, if not stolen G\fl(fidgl altogether; but “whatshall T do?”’ he continues, “a single convert iy is like a singing bird amongst the ravens’”.—In the course of pIaCES | last year Puttur was visited by two apostles of Theosophy; one of whom remembered his previous existence in another \\'()I'th“, body as well as the high priestess of Theosophy herself. There ath was excitement for a few days. Mr. ScHosSER delivered two iff g5 lectures on transmigration and was astonished to meet in his " e audience with a quite incredible ignorance regarding Christian- 1 thig ity. The people at Puttur have cooled down long ago. What is the use of exchanging an old superstition for a new one? | M P 25 1 [ hell o From the broken cisterns of Theosophy no water will gush to ¢ temply quench the thirst of the weary wanderer.— The knowledge of ate to Christianity seems to be very unequally distributed amongst ouse s our Hindu friends in Canara: Near Mulki a Konkahi was au ain for e fait with the controversies about the Lord’s Supper amongst the heats the disciples of Dr. Luther, Calvin and Zwingli! On the other ndifference hand in the districts of Puttur and Kasaragod our Evangelists el These met with the firm conviction that Christians also worship a s it Y Bhuta, called Kalrutti! vent fo The Coorgs remain as inaccessible as they always have |, Nor been. At the festival at Irpu besides very rude people there good AL have been not a few who listened most attentively. A good t-pang many despair of their gods, ablutions and pilgrimages, and one e it went so far as to say that he carried back from these festivals | affe® nothing but a curse. ol In Southern Mahratta and North-Canara our reception has g be Péfl been ‘almost invariably courteous and kind. At Guledgudd Mr. Loray is very thankful that through the instrumentality yen 1 i idols 0 k of medical assistance many a house and heart have been il i opened to the consolations of the Gospel. His experienceis that ‘77 he SR}‘S‘ people were immensely thankful for all the help rendered to ) 01 them. Of course plague, which appeared for the first time at lu a\ P E not \m‘f Guledgudd, gave a special opportunity for such activity. Mr. 10‘19 il Riscu on visiting the villages of the Gersoppe-valley, in some = places was greatly disappointed by an uncommon indifference ¢ Comw 11 ]rl and by meaningless excuses, but he was also asked questions heoifl Hlflfl o worthwhile being answered. “We do not feel anything like the wrath of God, for thousands of years we have been as well 0 g il off as Christians, how is this? Why did God allow idolatry et { to exist for such a long time? Why have we been allowed up et U (? to this to go to destruction without any warning? Should not stronger means than mere preaching be employed to uproot \0‘0 f our time-hallowed Hinduism?” But, as Mr. Risce remarks: “It Bl ' Sy 26 SO AR (ifficul is not by discussions that the heart of man is won for Christ, eternal truth itself appeals to man’s sense of truth, eternal 1A, love to man’s heart thirsting for God’s grace.” 1 read In Malabar Mr. PETER found his magic lantern of great use saonfic Witk last year. At Payyanur people rejoiced to see the Bible stories which they had heard of for many years. The Bible lessons Pt at in the Hindu schools of Cannanore have been continued. Mr. eemies AvBATTU from Tellicherry relates that two old Tiyers after there 15 having heard the story of Christ’s sufferings and death brought especial 4 Annas “to do something for Him, who has done and suffered 0 schg all this”. Mr. ScHILLING points out that whilst many, in order wih i ; to excuse themselves, allude to the life and walk of unworthy Q&TI‘}' Ay Christians, others have learned to distinguish and admit that Jii e 1 Christianity is powerful to save men who would otherwise have e oy utterly perished. A blind man, calling the Shastras a “bound- kg, less sea ) asked for something in order to make pro- 6 Tetupy vision \for his soul before death. Mr. RENSCHLER tells about e ft ¢ an old man who could not forget the death of a relative who Beary died 50 years ago. That relation on his deathbed confessed ey Christ and asked for a Christian burial, which request was Dy granted. “Such a death I have never witnessed since’” he Thelfl‘ exl said. Evangelist HERMON classifies his hearers in the following manner: Trngg 1. light-minded, indifferent people, a large class; I ety 2. enemies, reviling and mocking against us, but not often met with; 3. well-minded people, in most cases convinced of the Wflmen } truth of Christianity, but lacking in moral courage. Some of lg Chr them have been would-be Christians in their youth and suffer fi'fill} uS")‘ under the impression that their life is shipwrecked and that livugg they have missed a great chance. A Nayar of this kind, who g about 50 years ago wanted to embrace Christianity together 1 gy with the late Rev. D. TEIKANDI, compared his heart with a tank, b By, covered with reeds, into which a stone has been thrown (the + ( fl)‘ $ 80 sto;le being his resolution to become a Christian, the reeds his i 27 A R or (hn difficulties); 4. the souls thirsting for truth, such as the young th, etemi man, who is often seen with the Bible in his hand and engaged in reading it. He wanted to know the significance of the f et sacrificial blood in the Old Testament. ible ston With reference to the evangelisation on the Nilgiris Cat. ble lessos PauL at Tuneri holds a very hopeful view. Apart from decided nued, 1 enemies of the Gospel and the big class of the earthly-minded hyen e there is a hopeful class of earnest and sincere lovers of truth; th broug especially are women and children who have passed through nd suffel our schools always friendly disposed. Even the Cooly Mission , 0 ot ) with its fluctuating audience gives no cause to despair. Some ' o] carry away the precious seed and in' their respective homes amit join the flock of the Good Shepherd. When Mr. STiER related oryise the story of the lost son, an old father cried out: “Oh 2 “bomt Kakka-malla!” (a lost child amongst his eleven children not nake I yet returned). A hopeful sign of the times, it may be said, is the fact that at Kotagiri the Kotas asked for a night-school. tll al 0 Bearing in mind what we observed with reference to the Jafive i confe conservatism of women, one will understand the increasing oquest ™ prominence which we give to the work of our Bible-women. Their experience has not been very different from that of the e’ B Evangelists; but space does not allow us this time to enter much e fOHOWm? gt ¢ [ into details. In Mangalore, of course, plague has greatly impaired ften ¥ our work. Well known and friendly families left the town. Women had much to ask about the plague. “Phe God iof ool 01 gofleu the Christians has sent plague and only He can take it away anl 1firf from us,” one of them said. Our Bible-women had also to dissuade them from the superstitious belief that to drink water from Christian wells would save them. Mrs. HERMELINK writes: }\md i fogt “A man named N. N., who had been for 40 years a printer in the Balmatha Mission Press, died of plague within two or three itha days, so also his wife, son and other inmates of the house. IIOM] 14 Only four weeks before the Bible-women had been there and were | [eed 4* 28 told that he used to read the Bible daily, that he knelt down Xt 07 the fin and prayed to the Lord Jesus every morning before leaving his house for work.” —In Hubli, as Mrs. STAMM reports, from 20— 25 o have women meet in a house and are very fond of hearing Bible 1ot exis stories, if they are explained bit by bit, in an attractive manner. (Goremn (overnn Theyywi]l ask : “Why are you coming so seldom?” In Guledgudd we have no Bible-women, but Mrs. METZ, accompanied by the given fo wife of a teacher, met with a kind reception amongst the 5 fhe women there.—In Chombala our Bible-women met with a I fenn woman in the garment of a fakir. They felt shocked, but the 10 fhe 1 woman told them that she has visited all the holy places of 10 o the India, performing all the rites of Hinduism most faithfully Sho, with no other result than a sick body and a weary heart. First Ohriigy the Word of God seemed to soothe and console her, but quite Schogl of a sudden she behaved as if possessed by an evil spirit. A tle ey few days afterwards again she listened attentively to the Word Sl ¢ of God and then returned to Calicut to the house of her husband. — 0 e In Calicut the experience of the Bible-women has been very Snme fhy different. In one place a youth with a stick in his hand expelled Wiopuly the women, for which he asked pardon afterwards. A sick woman g of ; from Perambara bore witness that the life and death of Paul Karunagara had made a great impression upon her.—In Vaniyan- whih kulam a Hindu woman gave it as her opinion that as to the Gf the po truth of a religion it is all-convincing, whether it carries with Tothg itself the power and strength to enable man to lead a new ] {he Ml and a holy life. The ] b) Besides this direct work of evangelisation some more Xflgifl's) ; indirect agencies are at work, carried on with the sole intent gt | to win souls for Christ. First of all we may mention our Seh%lh 9 educational efforts. In this respect we may say that a fresh tl‘ea‘t f()l‘ tide of energy has set in, especially in the district of Southern T fost Mahvratta. —Our Primary Schools out in the districts do a quiet Ml STIE] and unpretentious work. Apart from the direct influence they I)laee’ [l s ~29 RN A G nelt dom | exert over the children, they very often prepare the way for eavmg i the itinerating Missionary, who would not be so well received or have his message so well understood, if these schools did m2-) & \ rng Bk not exist. In Southern Mahratta not only the Mission, but the 6 Manel Government also seems to exhibit a quite extraordinary energy. (uledgud Government proceeds with large strides, and if time be not given to managers to adapt themselves to new conditions, ‘there jed by t nongst e is the danger that the managers will get out of breath in el wiih ¢ hastening behind. From a station there we hear that according e, to the new rules children in the Infant Standard are expected to do the multiplication of tens by tens. As to these Primary - plaes fyithfl Schools, of course, all depends on the Christian example of the Christian School-master and the integrity of his character. These et Fil"b'- schools may be powers of immense good, they may also retard Jut qu the course of the Gospel through the country. Some of these | spirit. ) ) the T schools are very popular. An ideal school in this respect is ushand- our school at Kuttuparambu, an out-station of Tellicherry. Some that have been popular once may experience a blast of een e unpopularity. Our school at Ottapalam (Malabar) had a hot sick wondk time of it last year. A rival school rose, any amount of hatred and any stratagem seemed then to be justified against our school, h of P which had been started originally in compliance with a wish o Vo of the population. It was, however, touching to see how some fas 0 il ' Al 0 \flTl youths bore patiently with insult and mockery and kept faithful to the Mission School. The most extended net of village-schools exists on the Nilgiris, and here especially our itinerating agents experience ome a great difference between Badagas who have attended our 501'3 m[rf il schools and such as have not. Mr. Stier gave a Christmas- entl ) fiA treat for the children in schools under his superintendence. at b The festivity took place in our church at Kaity, and when f gl Mr. StrerR asked them why they all had gathered here in this oo place, a boy rose and replied promptly: “We want to be e | ,,,,, B 30 AT B0 i baptised”’. The work in these village-schools in most cases the sta may be compared to the work of pioneers. eighth Calieat In our High Schools for Non-Christians a real work of evangelisation is carried on. The youths are under instruction an “Tde for many years, in the higher classes their minds are mature and 1 enough to digest the spiritual food offered to them and Christian 80014} Missionaries, assisted by Catechists, make it a special point to 50 com lead these youths to Christ. The High School at Mangalore to, an was not allowed to do its work quietly. Owing to plague half setled ¢ the school was emptied, and the school had to be closed for o Jog some time. A boy of the Second Form was baptised at Kudroli bogs L with his family. Also the Brahmin Girls’ School had to be Chrisy closed in August. When plague began to do its awful work Ohrisy in Mangalore the girls greatly appreciated the consolations of liit f the Gospel.—Still greater than at Mangalore was the calamity they o at Dharwar, where plague appeared for the seventh time. /) Misfortunes really came in battalions against Mr. REUSCH, the Mfilflbar \ manager of the school. The High School was not closed, but { g owing to the panic of the population the strength of the classes Vear, In : was greatly reduced. About the same time Mr. REUSCH was te Lady compelled to dispense with the services of his Headmaster, and Hfi%pital ] sickness prevailed in his own family. A competent Headmaster o, 1 was appointed when the difficulties had reached their climax S0k o, in the person of Mr. BAvapAs KaNTA MUKERJL, M. A. and a Dr. Wa]'d‘ Qal of Phil. of Chicago, a convert from Mohammedanism. At Matric. Fry Wag 4 passed, one of whom was the primus of the whole district and Tggg another one a Christian. The College-question has been post- L[EBEXDO] poned until the decision of Government on the proposals of 1§ and o the University Commission are known.—The High School at f(-“lllder . Tellicherry, under the energetic management of Mr. MAUE and former . by the help of his able teaching staff, flourished greatly last 1 ) [y Hlp athx year. Our biggest school is at Calicut (591 pupils). We are gy, ) glad to state that the Headmaster there is a Christian and half g Whl)ge 01 . ) 31 gt 1081 (8 the staff are Christians. The Young Men’s Association had its eighth anniversary. The chair was taken by the Judge of work Calicut and the Assistant Collector delivered a very able lecture nstructon on “Ideals”. During the year also Mr. LARSEN from Madras 6 ot and Mrs. NicaorsoN from Kunnankulam lectured to this association. | (hmstion The new High School for girls was in a sad plight.

In this a double storied house for the Medical Missionary, the Lady-nurse and European patients was built. Also the a8t . ol Hospital has been improved, especially by a splendid operation- room. The Dresser, the Catechist and the Bible-woman have [ea{lnlflsm [t got comfortable houses in the same compound. The lying-in- 1€ir C Sister KATHE and a I ward, called “Bethlehem’”, had to be rebuilt. Frirz was married to one of our Missionaries, and Sister Lypra Af Mfl“‘“’f MULLER took her place. The death of the Rev.

However, blssing e aske there were 13,442 out-patients and 30,604 consultations. For they we some the chief treatment consists in feeding them up for a week. The prejudices against western treatment and the fear (his that we entice our patients to become Christians are dis- {esifieq appearing. There were more Hindu in-patients than Christian. earts ¢ I heat Of course, we point them to the Great Physician of their souls. A young man was deeply impressed by the Gospel truth (his sister Jeaceful] { is Hospital cook and embraced Christianity two years ago) and Our 1 wanted to become a Christian. He was caught by his relatives, N' ZERWE« came back again and one day suddenly disappeared. Dr. Stokes ity f emphasises greatly the need of qualified Hospital Assistants, In especially for Codacal and Vaniyankulam. But a great many U] g people in'this country die through foolishness; the assistants i o complain that patients in most cases are brought to them after WTLKL\'S, I having undergone native treatment and that they are then in L a hopeless state.— Mr. WALTER of Vaniyankulam remarks iy that many from the Hospital carry away in their hearts the Tetigpeq good seed, and they and their relatives will afterwards receive 0 g Joyfully the preachers of the Gospel at their houses. t b tuge With reference to the Leper Asylum Dr. Stokes remarks I JAL‘s, that only if a Leper Act or the compulsory segregation of e lepers be introduced by -Government, will it be possible to By, radicate this terrible disease.

Mr. JESUDASAN at Chirakkal (Cannanore) by writing the Malayalam Gospel of work T8 Luke in Arabic characters made a first attempt to bring in this manner the Gospel-truth nearer to the many Moplas of Malabar. 2 Here and there in our Report something has been said about the results of all these evangelising operations. We )02 conclude from many indications that the most important and far-reaching changes do not suddenly appear. Neither in nature Rs Afi? nor in the spiritual kingdom do things grow to a head suddenly, g 0l but according to the principle laid down by our Lord and 09 6 Master in Mark 4, 28. There can be no doubt that slowly but 14 143 steadily the Gospel is exerting its leavening influence on the 9 0 02 3 population of India, and that also in our sphere of work the G0 00 hearts, opinions and customs of the people are undergoing a o1 10 Y process of moulding and transformation. Our readers, however, p 4! will expect to hear something about visible and tangible results s in the form of conversions from Hinduism to Christianity. i) In the year under report 159 adults and 121 children (280 on the whole) were admitted by holy baptism from outside. The ways in which they have been brought under the influence of the Gospel and the motives by which they allowed themselves 410 3 to be guided in embracing Christianity, have been manifold. Besides what has been mentioned already under other headings i ! (e. 9. Educational efforts and the Medical Mission) we offer the 4 ; following illustrations. From Mangalore we hear that at 959 Bockapatna three youths of the fisherman-caste confessed = Christ and were baptised. They were the first of their class dfijfi f p since. the Mission was started in Mangalore. The fishermen g I felt very indignant at the matter and under the influence g of the Mohammedans they ruled that every one of their C01P01‘Tf"“"" community attending a service at our church, should be ex- Jabt 5% o= S s L 36 communicated. These threatenings seem not to have had the Ty expected effect. A great disappointment for the brethren at spoken Mangalore was the case of a Mohammedan youth, who had | ey attended our school at Mangalore and had made up his mind of perse to embrace Christianity. It caused a great commotion, of fo the course. His Christian master was assaulted at school and the by b | pastor in the open streets. The young man was removed to bead Dharwar and gave great satisfaction there.

His brothers maltreated Cflfléu‘a) { Words, him very badly so as to dissuade him from his belief in Christ. 4T His only answer was: “You may kill me, but I shall not leave God.” He hesitated for a long time in the hope of winning [fm'e, o} his people for Christ, finally he had to come quite alone.

There were two who bad other young men, who caused disappointment by their want s mmd of perseverance. Once a shepherd gave way after six months nofion, of to the entreaties of his mother. The other was cruelly treated o] and the by his relatives. They told him finally to go and to earn his emoved 0 bread or to jump into some well. Worse than committing , vhen b suicide, it seems, it is to join Christianity. As soon as he took : fhatma refuge in the Basel Mission premises, the same relatives appeared f her eyt and wanted to take him away by force. One day he disappeared ! ened thet Mr. DALABHANJANA, who visited more than 200 villages last g oml year, found in Maktumpur one ready to follow Christ. In the e pore presence of the whole population of this village he was baptised. fised T The wife of Narsappa seems also willing to follow suit with a § the 1l few others. Narsappa has been under the influence of the ecane & Gospel for some years.— At Kunur, 25 miles from Bijapur, Gohool & some of the principal people of the village sincerely believe in ough 01 Christ, but again and again they postpone the day of their B e baptism. This is the more to be déplored as they show in ik, v other respects quite publicly with whom their sympathies are. One of them handed over to the Mission one of his best fields Ahe Jois 0 ol en o0t and a house. A boy at Bijapur, 13 years of age, in spite of o Fan much persecution from his parents, cannot be persuaded to go st b ofit to the temple, but attends our services. — At Honavar (North- (i Canara) a woman, two days after her baptism, died with the et i words : “Oh Jesus, make it well with me!” on her lips. i (ot At Tellicherry in Malabar a teacher, belonging to the Nayar- ot A" caste, joined us. A brother of his had embraced Christianity Of \\iflfljflfj at Calicut some years ago and seems to have been instrumental l In winning his brother for Christ. A great commotion took alonts place in connection with the conversion of a youth of somewhat I FISC?' ! high caste (Nambiyar) in the neighbourhood of our Nettur- g station.—The family at Annasheri (Calicut), of which we told Jife 38 P SI e last year, has been baptised. The Mohammedans there Walifed l to expel them from the compound, but they changed their githerec view and even took the head of the family (Nicodemus) as a TICTEASe tenant for the next 12 years.—At Vaniyankulam almost all the (180) ar conversions may be traced back to the work done in the laths (; Mission Hospital there. Some came there, so to say, by mere éoomm chance, others were directed there by Christian acquaintances. mvals, One of them of his own accord promised to be faithful to the Silism af Lord even unto death.—At Kaity (on the Nilgiris) we find $panated amongst the new converts two well-to-do Badaga-families. lave beg Hirya, the father of one of the converts, was a would-be- 1 gonyy follower of Christ at the very beginning of our Mission-work e 4 on the Hills. When Josua, another of them, carried out his Wiy resolution, his mother and his wife offered the most decided o fhe opposition. However they followed him after some time. Still durng fy wilder was the exhibition of fury and fanaticism when one Pl‘eeedmg Kartupriya came to join us. Well may Mr. KANAKA, the pastor e of Kotagiri, being himself a Badaga-convert, say: “Often we iy formerly despaired to believe that these Badagas ever will Thee become Christians, how wonderfully things have changed (h fhe 1 now!” dedi@&ted bpseg III. OUR NATIVE CHURCH. ffl[}]er bH | tuy In a Mission Church all that we have to report on the Christian Church might also be introduced in our second chapter &S oo Tfle “ 0 l\c on evangelisation, for after the constitution of Christian Churches amongst Non-Christians these congregations may be I Ay called perhaps the chief agency of evangelisation. The nearer oy 3 W as they approach the ideal of a Christian Church, the more they Ly will be felt as the most powerful agency for the evangelisation () "Wt of the world, and the more they are lacking in spiritual life the a(h% U( more they will hamper the work carried on by the other agencies. (flhgnal . e 39 e vl 1 The outward increase of our Native Church may be oed fh gathered from the statistics on pages 6—11. The Church increased by 411 souls. Q) & & These came partly from new converts st ol (180) and partly from a great excess of births (585) over e e deaths (328), which excess again is reduced by an excess of by mee excommunications over re-admittances and of departures over AItaNes arrivals. The great numbers of excommunications are due to the ful to te schism at Cannanore, where a small fraction of the congregation ) e fit separated itself from us.—In some parts also new out-stations have been taken on trial. fanls Bettigeri took up Maktumpur after ouldde: the conversion of Narsappa. The Malabar station Codacal has sion-vol placed a Catechist at Mullensheri from where we received an 4 out I invitation about 10 years ago, which was renewed last year. { et In the outward condition of our people nothing has changed e Qn[ during the last year. The harvests were better than in the when O preceding year, only at. Codacal the 1nundations at the th€ pafitflt commencement of the monsoon destroyed the greater part of the first harvest. (ften 1 Three new places of worship have been raised during 1902. eyer il changed On the 16th March the chapel at Bolma (Mangalore) was dedicated to Divine service, and on this occasion 5 Hindus were baptised. In Malabar Mr. SCHLUNK in remembrance of his father built a chapel at Markat (near Calicut), utilised as a school during the week and as place of Divine service on Sundays. As a good many of our Christians, employed in Mr. Schlunk’s Tile-Works (Henke & Co.), have settled down at Markat, this d g generous gift will be greatly appreciated. At Milidenu on the (st L 17th August with feelings of great joy and thankfulness a house was dedicated to the service of God. pe 1698 i 2. Kducational Institutions of our Church. All our bigger 0t h’sgfgsfl congregations are provided with a special congregational g school, usually a Primary School and where no other edu- i cational advantages are available, with a Lower Secondary School. i T el 40 We make it cdmpulsory on our Christian children to attend trongt these schools. Whenever possible we insist on their paying (g e st school-fees (of course not according to the scale of fees laid down by Government). In Malabar, perhaps with the exception dild of Codacal, Christian parents have begun to understand the fhe oth value of education and the majority of them send their children bt regularly to school. In Southern Mahratta and at the rural e By stations of Canara we experience greater difficulties, as the sid ace children from a very early age are sent out to guard the fields hilife or to do any other agricultural work. At an out-station in fhe 3] Southern Mahratta the parents declared that they could not send the Sty their children to schooel as they will become hungry there, and g so they send them to the woods, where in gathering firewood ad they will find something to eat besides. When a Mission- (AP festival was held at that place, the school-girls in the evening Highhoy sat down on a rock and gave the assembly a treat by singing Thre of Christian hymns. The boys had to stand silently apart; they e Ty could not sing, being too irregular at school. Let us hope “Kinderg that the stronger sex took a wholesome lesson from this defeat fir Y and that next year they will join joyfully and melodiously in lingpg the chorus of the girls. g han‘ The Canara Orphanage for Girls at Mulki was surrounded tangg last year by plague and small-pox, but the girls and their be teachers were graciously preserved by the Lord. Two Hindu ; ey girls took refuge in the school to escape moral corruption.— i g The day-school in connection with the Boys’ Orphanage at Udipt e oy is:a big institution: 101 boarders, 46 Christian day-scholars, | 1 41 Christian girls and 42 Hindu boys. The school consists of a purely vernacular department (Infant—1V. Standard, 148 pupils) l of § and an Anglo-vernacular department (III. and IV. Standard, thug the 82 pupils). In the orphanage a little boy, being in a critical Rl state of health, had to be baptised privéfcely, and when asked: ‘SS'I()IL. “Why do you wish to be baptised?”’ he answered: “Because by AN of e Rl 41 0 atted thr6ugh baptism I shall become a child of God.” At Ammdapiw I during the time of famine two orphanages for boys and girls fees lul were started. The famine is over now, still now and then a excepton child takes refuge there (33 boys and 19 girls at present), on stand fhe the other hand those with whom vagabondage has become & r childen habit, run away like a bird from its cage.—In Southern Mahratta the rml the Boys’ Orphanage at Bettigeri lost one of its boys by a very g, 6 sad accident. He fell into the well and all exertions to save fhe fell his life were in vain. Of the boys leaving the school last year fafion 1 the majority returned to their homes, some were admitted at ot sl the Students’” Home in Dharwar, a few went to Sholapur to here, qualify themselves as Mahratti schoolmasters (wanted at Bijapur), reol and some joined the Industrial School at Tumkur to become carpenters.—The Missi- Orphanage for Girls at Sumaddi (in the g eveniflé’ neighbourhood of Guledgudd) was superintended by Mr. MEeTz. i singiflg Three of the girls who had finished their schooling there joined art; 1 the Training School at Ahmednagar and two a school for training s bt “Kindergarten”-mistresses at Sholapur. The Girls’ Orphanage s (et for Malabar at Chombala was in danger of losing a girl, fousy 2 demanded by the Moplas. The child, when 10 years of age, was handed over to the Mission by the mother, who then was a candidate for baptism. Before baptism could be thought of v the woman ran away and went to the Moplas. For about d 19 o 6 years the child remained with us and the mother during this time never claimed it. gpfith” As we have every reason to believe, she now wanted the child for immoral purposes. The woman, ot T L } w(hflmh aided by the dignitaries of the Moplas, brought the Missionaries to court. 808 The Moplas looked upon the case as a test of strength between Christianity and Mohammedanism and Ll upll‘ thus their fanaticism was mightily roused. Justice, however, mndd J prevailed this time, and the court decided in favour of the 1 cl‘]fi‘ )I] [ ji Mission.—We are sorry that no space is left for a translation of two reports of Mr. SENGLE on the Boys’ Orphanage at Codacal, Pet 6 SN e 42 which in a charming manner make one familiar with the life fhe hol in that big institution. Mr. Sengle experiences some diffi- students 10me of culty in finding occupation for boys who have finished their schooling and are not yet strong and old enough to be sent fie Hom away to earn their livelihood. For the future they will be put tle Vatr into some industrial school or occupied on fields farmed by tiling the orphanage. In the Boys’ Orphanage at Kaity during the i»ufldjng last year three boys died, and it was touching to see how the had to be other boys tried their best to provide for the bodily and Bt spiritual needs of the little sufferers. Also the Girls’ Orphanage t schoy) at Kotagiri lost two of its girls by death. Omne of them belonged Anstome to the Korumbas, a caste held in great abhorrence, as they are fu, 3 believed to be powerful sorcerers. In February 1901 the child I iy had joined the school and one year after she died from dropsy ol and diarrhcea. Measles and typhoid fever gave a good deal of \“le g ) trouble. Twins, 5 years of age, behaved like two wild filly- ffik \[}hool foals. They broke into pieces whatever they could take hold l It { Sae] of and could not be persuaded to sit down to learn s01nething. Gradually they were tamed. I Bady As to the Higher Institutions for our Christians we are glad Bl Al 1 to learn that for girls coming from the district and reading otk i either in the Girls’ School or in the Training School at Mangalore Selfllnar\ a Girls’ Home has been provided. The Christian High School examlfi‘clfi()] at Udipi continued also last year to do excellent work. There p‘aCes W ik is a staff of teachers devoted to their work and in Mr. BRASCHE mflllng b the school possesses a manager, who counts amongst the most ubl U of learned and experienced educationists out here. The classes 4‘eéus ] of the Theological Seminary at Mangalore are filling again, and i fay 16 the Seminary will soon be in a position to send forth Catechists, educated and trained according to the new scheme.—The g f Iy i Students’ Home at Dharwar is called by Mr. ERNST an ornament of the station. g bubl From .June to the midst of October plague was raging in the town and when the boys returned after i ndy, ehgmlls 43 EEs N IR e ) the I the holidays in November plague commenced again. Two me df students got plague, but, thanks be to God, Mr. REuscH lost hed ther none of his flock. The wife of Mr. Reusch’s first assistant at 0 he sl the Home died however from plague. One of the boys passed nll bepu the Matriculation Examination. For the few girls undergoing armed by training at Dharwar a Home has been opened there.—The gt building of the Christian High School at Nettur (Tellicherry) o o 1 had to be considerably enlarged last year. A dormitory and an odfl\ al examination-hall were added. On the Hindu youths frequenting Drphani the school the Word of God makes a deep impression, they get belongd accustomed to look upon it as a standard of their life and con- g they ut duct. With reference to the Christian youths Mr. BADER makes | {he cill it his chief aim that their old mind having been broken and moulded, they should learn to be humble, decent and thankful. om (opy od del Some are rather effeminate and self-conceited when they enter the school. He id Al One of the students had a narrow escape. was bitten by a venomous snake and his life was almost ke ol despaired of. By the help of God the medicines applied by sometlng Mzr.

Four students of the Theological Vanga® Seminary and four pupils of the Training School passed. their Their igh Sl examinations and entered upon their respective duties. places were filled up by almost an equal number of students & Thet coming from the Christian High School. The systematic ; BBNH» i he il subjects of Theology are gone through during a course of 4 years. First year: Apologetics and Introduction to the Old fhe ¢ Jos Testament; second year: Dogmatics and Introduction to the 998 i, W New Testament; third year: Practical Theology and Symbolics, and fourth year: Ethics and Church History. Along with ot | B( these subjects during all the 4 years we teach: Exegesis of the ol Old and New Testaments, Homiletics, Catechetics, Non-Christian . p]aar Religions, Greek, Sanskrit, English, Malayalam, and Music. ol J G* 44 el mged A preparatory class has been added to the Seminary, in which (g prominence is given to the Bible, Greek, World’s History, etc. During the last months of the year a new Missionary, Chst Dr; .MEYER, made himself very useful in the Theological Sorcere lone v Seminary.—From the Catechists’ School at Kaity two students passed their examination in July. 4 et ' 3 We close with a few communications intended to T 1€)0 enable the reader to form an idea of the spiritual life of our ki 10 $ich sich gy congregations, The subject in itself is unfathomable and has become a very delicate matter. In the face of so many fond ¢ misunderstandings and misrepresentations to which an honest Christy and candid report is exposed, one may ask himself, whether ih g ) 1l 1y silence on the subject would not be the greater wisdom. However, if a report must be written, this crowning part of i, the work and of the success of a Mission Society cannot well 0 the | be omitted. As evangelical Christians we cannot either “ad TS 0 hl of magjorem Dei gloriam’ give an untrue picture of our congre- gations by omitting what is unpleasant and by embellishing S f what is praiseworthy. But identifying ourselves with our b i congregations we exceedingly rejoice in everything indicating Per)p IPE an increase of real Christian life amongst us, and if there are sttt t shortcomings, we honestly confess them and draw from them holh Q lessons for our improvement. There are readers of our Report betoe I in these days for whom it is not Wrifoten, who try to take an’ P 0t undue advantage of the candour of our publications, who oy g malignantly and in a pharisaic spirit feast upon the short- T olag comings of our congregations and who seem to dream that é'fat\utou because noquy exposes their shortcomings they are pure. If 0p¢ th, they are permitted to read the Bible, we should like to call ) Oung their attention to Matth. 7, 8 and invite them to ponder on B Uem the question: applying the standard of the Report of the Ppeaygy Basel Mission to my own spiritual life and to that of my Moy community what would the picture be?—TLight and shadow are s Uiy, P N 7 45 n Wi mixed everywhere, but light must predominate in a Christian ; congregation. From a station in Canara we read that a ory, lsiona Christian falling sick sought help from a Brahman quack and sorcerer. weologiel He had to pay Rs. 7, but was not cured and had ' student done very wrong. He became conscious of it and submitted in a penitent spirit to church-discipline. From the same station endel 1 we rejoiced to read that a school-mistress died of consumption life of o in such a manner “as only a Christian can, die’. Even in o and I such an out-of-the-way place, as Malpe is, our Christians are fond of singing and have founded a choir there.— Of a g0 Imaiy an honet Christian at some other station who had to settle a dispute f whetle with a neighbour, Hindus and Mohammedans said: “So noble and unselfish, none of us would have behaved similarly in this [‘ \sisdom.. affair.” Such an example is worth a hundred eloquent sermons g putt annot i on the excellency of Christianity.— Whilst at Dharwar plague ather ‘0 was worse than ever before, at Hubli the death-rate was not half of what it was in 1901. The cotton-mills and the work- ur (o shops of the railway attract many Christians from other stations, el ] with 00 but pastoral work at such places is always a heavy task. People easily earn a livelihood, but are exposed to many and iyl great temptations and a good many succumb to these tempta- f the tions. Some sacrifice their earnings to the moloch of drink, from 14 o Repnl become poor and run into debt, even with an income of R. 40 per month. A night-school for the apprentices in the railway- fo G il shops has been started. It 1s attended by 20 youths, and we 10 10} / are glad to hear that the son of our Evangelist at Honavar fhe ¥ gratuitously conducts part of the work there. We sincerely (reald il hope that this night-school will be an asylum enabling many 0 Pme a young man to escape temptation.—Shagoti, an out-station of m\e 0 Bettigeri, behaved very well in hard times. When plague Pond” ' appeared, the people there showed faith in God combined with pofi o wisdom. They went in a body to Hubli and asked to be fat ¢ inoculated and then they put thefi' trust in the Lord. They ghal =N 46 e passed through this severe ordeal of faith, and were strengthened p0st in their belief that the eyes of the Lord are turned upon them. (ome IUISE Also the congregation-school there is all that can be desired. almirg As indicated above, such a congregation in itself is a power at work for the evangelisation of the people round about. A ith Hindu woman gave a lamp for the little church and contributed lr ey every Sunday towards the church-collection there, and a 180014 1800lai daughter living at another village imitates her mother in this respect. Last year also some conversions amongst Hindus took tle Bag place at Shagoti.—On some Christians connected with the -1 Guledgudd station the burden of poverty weighs so heavily 015 that one can scarcely expect a joyful Christian belief amongst the gl them. But it is wonderful that with others times of tribulation wih | are ripening fruits, which nobody would have expected before. sy At ' Guledgudd for the first time plague appeared and made tion gy great havock indeed; from 20 to 80 died every day. A panic fhfll‘fllfilg set in and the Hindus left the town and fled in all directions. the o Our Christians took council together and made up their mind Ouy never to separate, but to stay together whether it were to live 0 g or to die. ] iy P' ' In last year’s Report we had very much to complain about [ty of the sectarian spirit and the fanatical outbursts of pseudo- i Rty religion proceeding from Cannanore and troubling us more Uty or less at almost all stations in Malabar. Everything happened i 10 as one knowing the heart of man and the history of the 1 s Christian Church could predict from the very beginning, they B without being a prophet. Some poor misled people are nothjng cooling down and sobriety is gaining ground again. The byt less said about this state of things the better and this much must suffice. The Missionaries at Chombala express themselves ithey greatly pleased with the spiritual condition of the two out- stations, Mahé and Badagara. The Mahé-Christians of our ( Church, we are told, suffer under the reproach caused by the N ford 4 { engther apostacy of a few of our Christians (most of them however have pon the come back again and ask for re-admission!). The Christian e el nurse at the Badagara-Hospital died of tetanus, showing an Until , pover admirable Christian fortitude up to her last moment. about, 4 death she herself felt her pulse and finally gave order to shut onfrihte her eyes.—Calicut distinguishes itself by flourishing Christian associations. e, and'¢ For young men and young women there are her 1 associations in English and Malayalam. “The Sunday School of inds ok the Basel Mission congregation” is presided over by Mr. RENz, 7 4 yith 100—110 children (including 15 Hindu children) in groups of 50 hearl 10—15 are taught: the boys by Mr. Renz and his 4 assistants, the girls by 4 young women. The teachers meet once a week f nolg it with Mr. Renz, the young women with Mr. Jaus, to make the tod hef necessary preparations for Sunday’s classes. There is a repeti- and il tion every month, and now and then excursions are made to charming spots in the neighbourhood of Calicut. Of course A pu irecti the point of culmination is the Christmas-treat every year. {heit 1D Our Mission station at Kaity came into contact with the e 860 Boer-prisoners and their guardians. It was a novel sight to our people in many respects. The high morality and sincere piety of the Boers made a lasting impression upon our people le ot Of P el at Kaity. In this respect the army of the Boers may serve as a pattern to every Christian army all over the world. On the lg 15 il same rock and under the same tree where the Badagds used o to sacrifice a buffalo every year, the Boers met and sent up Children and women had their prayers to God Almighty. nothing to fear from these warriors. Most of them met every ?QOI)IE i day for an hour of prayer, and their hymns could be heard every gfiill. ler {5 g evening to a great distance. They also used to sing hymns to- gether with the training students and to address them. The themsel"" 7 graves of Boers in our cemetery at Kaity will be for many g0 o days to come a token that a little episode of the world’s I history has taken place at this hill-station of the Basel Mission. \gd b:’ =2 48 In spite of all this distraction by Boers and other soldiers our Christians at Kaity did not lose sight of their duty as Christians. The Young Men’s Association continued to preach the Gospel on Sunday evenings in the Badaga villages surround- Prin ing Kaity. Also the students of the Training School went out on Sundays and conducted a Sunday School for Badaga children in the shadow of some tree or on the veranda of a Badaga Satyadi house.
