"Lodholz' Report for the Third Quarter of 1868"

Includes the report that And. Ewyi has been received back into the community having given Lodholz the impression at an interview that he was a broken man - such as Lodholz had seen very rarely in Africa. Lodholz was also pleased to see the evidence of a heart full of joy on his face after he had received communion again. Two wives, Ewyi's and Rose Yaw Badu's, are attending services regularly and especially the latter is only deterred by the problem of overcoming family opposition – she is the only daughter of her mother, and her brother having been involved in the community, is now an open enemy. Loholz tried to encourage them by telling them about the trials faced by new converts in India, far worse in his opinion than those suffered on the Gold Coast. The Kukurantumi chief is pressing to have a European back in his town. His moves to this end include driving the Christians to build their houses on the mission station, and telling Lodholz that he wants his whole town to become Christian.
