"Zellweger's Report on a Preaching Tour in Asante"

The bulk of this report is communicated in Le Missionaire, 1897, pp.94-95. Additional material: On the whole the chiefs received him well, the Kumwawuhene especially, so he also get to know one of the catechumen in Kumawu especially well, and a brother of the thief. From Kumawu he visited Bodomasi also. The full course of the journey was Ahenkurow, Agona, Banco, Kuwamu, Nsuta, Mampong. The town where he conversed with the small girl while the men had fled is not named, it was on the plain. However, he received a roughly similar welcome in Banco. The sick woman referred to he met in Okmososo near Agona. In Kwaman he saw a man pounding ash in a mortar with a peaceful, guiltless face (apparently he was not a Christian), but Zellweger took it as a symbol of what a Christian should feel like.
