"Glatzle's First Quarter's Report for 1879"

Mostly concerned with meditating on the complete lack of accidents during the building process at Begoro, especially during the period of the tree felling, when the trunks lay on the ground accross each other there were so many. These thoughts are inspired by the death of an 8 year old daughter of Mose Nkroma, one of the elders of the church. She was killed by a falling tree on the way from the water to her house during a sudden violent storm. There is inter alia a description of the funeral service - Catechist Ntow preached on Rom 8 15-18, and Glatzle himself preached on Ps. 90vv1-6, and the need to be converted now in view of the insecurity of life. The schoolchildren sang a hymn about the changeableness of life, too.
