"Anoba’s Report"

He had spent a month and a half in Abomosu in 1877 preparing people for baptism. On return he had to exclude 5 people for adultery. He found only three houses on mission land, and his own house still has no windows or doors. His first preaching in the town concerned the goodness and severity of God. He describes the death of a convert, Catherine Prakwa, who had been troubled by a severe cough for 2 years. Asked about her faith she talked about her hope of something better in heaven, and Anoba quotes her as describing the fine everlasting cloths people had in heaven. She knew the Lord's Prayer and apparently did not pray extempore (Anoba considers no services had been held in the chapel since the departure of Date).
