"Mohr to Basel"

A further discussion of the Adu case. One girl was the sister of Catechist Ntow, the other was a Begoro girl only one month baptised. Adu is now in his home town. Kukurantumi, and sadly not penitent - in fact Mohr is having to keep a special watch on the Begoro girl whom he is attempting to induce to be his concubine. Adu had had a good reputation as an energetic man: marital palavers which Mohr had assisted him to settle had as Mohr thought been banished by the pregnancy of his wife, her childlessness having been the root cause of the trouble as he thought. The Begoro have taken a deep interest in the affair and while they have taunted the Christians ahout it, it has also made a considerable impression that the Christian community has acted so firmly. Recently the first man excluded from the Christian community in Begoro - Petro Sau - has been re-accepted.
