"Huppenbauer's Report on the First Mission Festival in Kibi"

His sermon is repeated in extenso in the manuscript. It is an extension of the text, exhorting he congregation the practical thankfulness in terms of greater financial independence, and less domination attitude to the Mission. Ata had gone to Pameng. Described in the manuscript as a farming village between Kibi and Tumfa. He claimed to have attended church in Lagos. The speaker who took the text about people in clean clothes, in a false identification imagined the congregation saying that one was a goldsmith, one a potter. It appears – since the speaker said he had grew up among the people in the congregation – that he was an Akim himself. This speech too ended in an appeal for unity.
