Title:
"Asante's Report for the Third Quarter 1874"
Description
He has met the community and asked them firstly to move onto the station and secondly to make farms. They agreed to the former request, but only the two married members agreed to the latter. The rest refused, since they have no wives and children they do not need farms. Asante said that the mission would gladly buy their produce this did not impress them nor did the news that the Basel Committee had sanctioned marriage with heathen women in the event of no Christian wives being available. The young men complained that it was impossible to get wives in Akim without paying enough money to compete with the elders nor have the members been impressed with the idea of starting a prayer and bible study meeting, and their attendance at services is irregular. Attendance at street-preaching in Kibi is large especially among the Asante traders, and the Juaben hostages and their followers.
