"Gebietsakten Indien. Distriktkonferenz Kanara 1875 / Letters and Reports from/about the District Conference South Karnataka 1875."

This slim volume really belongs in the relevant section of C-1.57. The contents are not listed, but consist of a 58-page set of minutes of a District Conference. This is undated but the supporting documents indicate that it took place in February 1875 in Mangalore. The supporting documents are exclusively the MSS of reports (Referate) given by individual missionaries to the conference: Brigel on the charge being made "repeatedly in recent years at home" that the missionaries contribute more to stability than to mobility, that they are pastors and teachers and travel and preach too little to non-christians (18 pp). Männer: ought there not be a summary ("Epitome") of the Old Testament available for Tulu-speaking christians? (8 pp). Kaundinya on how to handle pregnancies out of wedlock "among girls and widows" (4 pp). Catechist Charles Gojar’s translated report (German) on the same subject (12 pp.) Hüttinger on the growing difficulties of helping young men to learn a profession (14 pp). Samuel Bunyan’s translated report (German) on the same subject (3 pp). A comment ("Beibericht") by Brigel on the conference.
