"Koranteng's Report of the First Half of 1878"

Marriages were blessed in the course of the year. There were also baptisms in June, one of which was of an elderly slave and his wife. He had come free from Kibi in 1875, was baptised Aaron. One and a half months after his baptism he died after a stroke, having said 'in case the Lord calls me by this sickness I go in peace and in joy; for I had lived almost my whole lifetime a slave and heathen, but now the Lord has in his mercy received me amongst his children and I have the hope that he will take me into his rest.' He had suffered problems because of arrogance among the young men Christians, but these are now passed. Catechumens often quit the town to trade and cannot be instructed. Dwaben people are building 4 towns between Akwapim and Akim, 4-5 hours from Kukurantumi.
