Additional points: Eisenschmid footnotes Buck's acoount of Akim agriculture that they plant yams, else they would have none for their annum yam custom. To his section about roads he expresses a little impatience with the English government which could do something for their betterment, it is only theirs to command. He also reports losing part of the contents of a box when it was spilt into the water near Abomosu - a carrier was crossing a stream on a submerged tree-trunk, and the water was up to his neck when the accident happened. In his section on trading he mentions that many of the Christians had asked him either for help to buy things to commence trading, or else for a letter of recommendation to a merchant firm on the coast, but he has helped only one man, who had been a merchant before his baptism. In describing the good impression made on him by Kwabeng he mentions that he found a swish house with shingle roof there - this surprised him since generally in Akim the fetishes have forbidden swish houses. Kibi produces not enough agricultur surplus to provide him with his daily Supplies in yams, eggs, hens. He had to take food with him on his last visit to Abomosu also - he could not even get plantains there. The Abomosu chief is heavily in debt, and would not sell the small piece of land the mission wanted because he was not being offered enough money for it. On the other hand he offered his whole stool lands - hours across for £60. One catechumen had been allowed to get baptised by the chief, and elders only on the understanding that he would share the money paid to him by the missionaries with his family (Buck writes that he told the 'good man' that it would not be difficult to keep to that contract). In the Kibi community he called the presbyters together and lamented that the community lies so far behind the other stations and Kukurantumi in economic achievement. They decided they should try to plant oil-palms, meantime to ensure earlier income, they should communally clear a patch for coffee which should be rented out to at least ten people, the rent from them going into the station fund for the needy. This was agreed - Buck remarking how helpful Deacon Date was in this sort of, respect, and also Salomo Botwe as a man whose influence helped.

Asiakwa - purchase negotiations stuck at the local elders wanting 56 dollars for 6 acres, and Buck offering 12. In this town people are not happy that local school pupils do not get the same support as pupils in Kibi. Boakye is achieving things in Abomosu -- he reads and writes Twi and Ga.

Buck recalls that he had appealed to the Governor for the imposition of freedom to pursue crop and naimal husbandry and any type of craft in Akim, 'otherwise it would be possible for the missionaries to educate their new converts into being useful members of human society and busy and competent citizens.' Buck also had told him that slavery was continuing in Akim as it had before the Emancipation. Governor Ussher's reaction was to make the king answerable for allowing the peaceful pursuit of occupations, but also to point out that the missionaries were doing wrong in not bringing specific cases before him (the Governor). Buck therefore informed him of what he had seen when during a visit to Anyinam in October 1879 when following extortion by Ata a whole row of people were sold off into slavery or pawn. The man responsible for the sales was charged, but he in turn charged Ata of complicity in a wide range of incidents of this kind. After the government case had failed in most of the charges brought against him, however, Buck was brought down from Kibi and asked if he would assist the Government in making a sound case against Ata, this arrangements would be made to keep his paft in this confidential. He has agreed to help though he is pessimistic about the outcome.

Knows nothing about his successor unfortunately the Christian branch of the family is too a young-- the oldest is 16 and in the school in Akropong. He reckons the work in Kibi will be hindered somewhat by secret opposition on the part of the powerful party who supported the king. The 25 Kibi catechumens have remained faithful through the period of the trial, though when Buck returned to Kibi they were all scattered and it was going to take him some time to gather them all together for a baptism service. One of the Asiakwa people found guilty of involvement in ritual murder was John Ansah, who had been baptised in March 1878 - that is 3-4 years after the incident for which he was given 10 years deportation. That all this had happened with so little trouble showed 'that the king had very little ground under his feet'. He had repeatedly asked his chiefs to go to Accra but they had not, and the Begorohene rather left Accra - where he was on other business - hurriedly Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context D-01.32.XIII..130 Subject The topic of the resource [Archives catalogue]: Guides / Finding aids: Archives: D - Ghana: D-01 - Incoming correspondence from Ghana up to the outbreak of the First World War: D-01.32 - Ghana 1880: D-01.32.XIII. - Kjebi Title A name given to the resource Buck to Basel Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 13.04.1881 Proper date: 13.04.1881 Description An account of the resource There is correspondence about financial administration at Kibi in March-May of this year. It is opened by a Basel Committee letter dated 14 March 1881 (presumably to find in the D-2 series). Folio 41-2 in which the points are made: 1. that the collection of money from the community for a new chapel was not done in a proper way 2. that the Kibi missionaries had done wrong in transgressing a printed rule dated 27 January 1879 that no money was to be lent to private people out of local church funds. The missionaries were to collect the debts as quickly as possible, their own salaries being held security. Point 2 is clarified by this letter. Buck takes full responsibility, since no sums had been lent out for over a year. The money was in fact lent out of the Poor Fund, specifically for Christians left naked by war, converts who in the process of conversion had lost everything and could not marry, people who were being held back from conversion by small debts they owed. All loan were made at small percentage interest, no-one was allowed more than £3, and the Presbyters underwrote every acknowledgement of debt. The debts are repaid slowly, but no-one has failed. He felt this was a proper procedure in view of the numbers of people entering the community who were more or less without possessions. Point 1 is discussed in a long letter by Huppenbauer. It appears that the contribution of the Kibi community to the Chapel-building fund was obtained by accountancy manipulations, the members of the community being themselves unconscious of what was being done.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 21.05.1883 Proper date: 21.05.1883 Description An account of the resource This discusses the arrangements to be made over supervision in Akim. There had been much pressure from Praetorius and the other missionaries to run Akim from Begoro, leaving local pastors in the main centres to exercise detailed supervision. In the end Buck prevailed on Praetorius to allow him to decide whether or not to reside in Kibi, and he wishes to do so, partly on the grounds that the Akim congregations are not yet ready to do without a presence in Kibi, partly on the grounds that he is not so sure Begoro is healthier than Kibi. For example, he calculates that 33% of the missionaries resident in Kibi have died (8 out of 24), while the figure for Begoro is 42%, 3 out of 7. Nevertheless he has issued a formal document outlining the geographical responsibilities of the different pastors, and their constitutional position. This will take effect from 1st June. This document is at No 60. It is fairly straightforward, with no mention of pastoral care for villages on the Densu in the Koforidua-Nswmam sector. The rest the document gave wide pourers to the pastors, and they were also specifically enjoined to keep nothing hidden from the missionaries, and to keep them informed over major problems. Müller's subscript refutes Buck over the respective reputations of Kibi and Begoro over health. He also would prefer Begoro to keep, as its district, the outstations at the foot of the hills (Anyinam, Fankyeneko etc.) so that young missionaries stationed there have somewhere in which to gain experience and become independent of detailed guidance.

Buck had been invited before the Governor to answer the question to whom the Governor should approach to express himself concerning the charges made against Asante and press that he should be moved to some other district. Buck pointed him to the Generalpraeses and also said that the matter would have to be referred to Basel. He asks Dieterle to ensure that any defence of Asante's conduct before the Governor should be made through him (Buck), and adds that since the Okyenhene came out of the affair without punishment such a defence would only help with the Governor - it would not better the position in Kibi.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 27.03.1878 Proper date: 27.03.1878 Description An account of the resource The report is partly printed in Heidenbote 1878 pp 49-50. Additional material: He reports other cases arising in Kibi and his relations with the Okyenhene in them. In one session on 12th March he had come excitedly with a large following to Buck - so large that they had had to talk in the courtyard of the mission house. The first case discussed was that of a slave woman who had married a Kibi man, the dowry of course going to the Okyenhene whose slave she was. She had then left the husband, come onto the station complaining of being mishandled, and eventually married a Christian. She had refused to repay the dowry herself, and the ex-husband had therefore applied to the Okyenehene for this. The Okyenehene asked after a long conversation what Buck thought of the case? Buck replied that he was a listener and not a judge but after long pressing by the Okyenhene replied that you cannot give back what you were never given, and whoever it was received the dowry should pay it back this point it was up to the Okyenhene to investigate. At this another case was raised, of a slave who had received 9 dollars from the Okyenhene in times past, was now a Christian and free, and did not want to return the debt on the grounds that he had worked for the Okyenhene for years without payment. When the ex-slave re-iterated this reply the king sprang up in uncontrollable rage, and Buck's efforts to act him to return to his stool and behave like a king (he rushed to the clan and insulted him as well as he knew how) and think of the impression this sort of conduct would make in Accra were all in vain, As it was night and some of the Okyenhene's younger escorters were holding signs of getting excited Buck feared a fight, and asked a bystanding policeman to clear his house (citing to him the ‘English rule’ ‘My home is my castle') which the policeman did. The next day the king sent 2 linguists who excused his absence on the grounds that the Christians troubled him too much, and they then pressed Buck for a decision on the two cases, Buck replied that he would not - it was not his office, and in any case if he did the Okyenhene might later claim Buck had mixed himself up in things it was no right of him to do so. They then replied that the Okyenhene had said that since the two people involved wore Christians he wanted to hear Buck's opinion - he would accept this as a ruling. Buck had this repeated before witnesses, and then gave his opinions: The question of the dowry was one for the English courts, but it would give the English judges a strange impression of his activities, since three months before the Okyenhene had sworn that he knew no-one of the name of the woman involved (the subject under judgement was not this one). Over the debt, Buck felt that this was something which legally should be repaid, but on the other hand, after the Emancipation the man had worked for the Okyenhene for no payment for 2 years, and it was the Okyenehene who had driven him out after he became a Christian. It was not very kingly to take a man's service for two years and not once dash him 50 francs. The Okyenhene did in fact accept these judgments - these individuals now have peace, but he is plaguing others. The help given by the Christians over the Okyenhene's debts was, in fact to pay straightforwardly a tax of 1/- per man and 6d per woman which the Okyenhene had levied on the whole of Akim, they were in fact the first to do so. This measure was decided after the Okyenehene had complained that he had debts owed him of £260 (Buck adds Fr. 6,500). An example of difficulties in the rest of Akim is given in the extended beating given to 4 Asiekwa catechumens. The Asiakwa chief was absent, one the excuse was that they had fished in the fetish river near Asiakwa. In fact Mullings had received permission to fish (not trap the fish) and had given a fish to those catechumens. Buck says that with the chief absent the fetish priest could have his way unhindered. In Buck's investigations of what had happened the first question was answered by the ‘leader of the young men’. In the end Buck for the Christians to fish in (he had earlier suggested the Asiakwa chief had the option to settle the case himself or alternatively to have it taken to Accra), and though this decision was met by a great uproar by the fetish priest and his supporters Buck has heard of no more trouble in Asiakwa (this judgement took place on March 11th 1878.). In Abomosu he warned the chief that Buck would make him responsible to the Colonial Government for the security of the Christians. In his dealings with the Okyenhene Buck was careful to give every appearance of being uninfluenced by D. Asante – going to palavers with only Deacon Date etc. Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context D-01.30.XVII..215 Subject The topic of the resource [Archives catalogue]: Guides / Finding aids: Archives: D - Ghana: D-01 - Incoming correspondence from Ghana up to the outbreak of the First World War: D-01.30 - Ghana 1878: D-01.30.XVII. - Kjebi Title A name given to the resource Buck's First Quarterly Report from Kibi Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

They go to the hand work with a will (mostly cleaning the compound and farming) and are visibly a very healthy group, especially when compared with the average disease-ridden heathen boy, Concerning the ‘inner life’ of the boarding school, he writes that you must not judge the place by European standard. ‘{They come) out of the deepest swamps of heathenism and sin; in their impressionable years they have seen nothing but the fruits of heathenism, envy and brawls, conflicts and hatred and all sorts of filth, and have heard nothing but the most shameful words, nothing but scolding and insults and the master having no idea of mother love. 'They have never heard the sweet word of a mother’. Whoever wants to make a true appraisal of an African Boarding School must decide which is better: that, or a German borstal. It can be demonstrated however that the boys are attracted to Christian truth those who were baptised recently had a better grasp of their baptismal instruction when all the candidates were examined, than their adult counterparts.

Statistics - there are 12 Christians' houses on the mission land at Kibi, and 14 at Kukurantumi. Asiakwa, Kwabeng and Asunafo-Abomosu are listed as established outstations, in Asiakwa and Asunafo-Abomosu the mission owns land, and in the latter the community have already built a chapel. In Kibi only one person was excluded in the year, 4 temporarily suspended from Communion, and 1 excluded Christian re-accepted. He remarks about the 14 Christian marriages that few have any idea of the way Christians should live together in marriage, nor have many much understanding of Christian concepts of the upbringing of children. In discussing the impact of the fact that husband and wife have separate property, Buck writes that he could give two examples of husbands borrowing at large interest sums which the wives could have made available to them. He looks forward, however, to more and more members of converts families following the first converts onto the station apparently with some hope of success. He is refusing to move in response to the Kibi community's request for funds to build a new chapel until they themselves say how much they are prepared to contribute. Eight school continues teaching reading and writing. Street preaching in Kibi is held more rarely and instead there is a fix Sunday afternoon catechising of the community. The relationship with the King has changed to the extent that though Buck thinks his fundamental antagonism has not changed towards the Christians, his attitude to individuals is very friendly, and the result of this is that, for example, a number of Christians have not in fact moved out onto the station as they should. When Buck first went to Kibi the rest of the people despised the Christians as ex-slaves - they now respect them rather more, and that partly because Buck took steps to stop the Christians from taking great offence at every little instance of friction between town and mission. Since August Buck himself has carried on his contacts with the Okyenhene in a friendly enough way, but at 3rd hand. This was because whenever Buck went to see him about a problem, the session was dragged out with excuses and annoyances. Buck in the end said he would no longer visit the Okyenhene unless the latter returned his visits. At the same time he told him that of all the chiefs on the Gold Coast he was the only one opposed to the Mission - this, Buck thinks still rankles. Describing and justifying his stand, Buck writes that he would no quarrel with the assertion that at times he has acted strongly, not only to the Okyenhene and the Christians, but also towards other hostile chiefs. He has always been careful, however, to offer them no weakness through which they could attack the Christians, and, especially since the court case in Accra at the end of 1877 it is necessary for the European to dominate - if you show fear, or indecision, then the game is lost once and for all. Commenting further on the problem of strife between the Christians, Buck points out that it was not to be wondered at - hardly any older members of the community are present in it, and during the year 70 members joined, most were ex—slaves with their servile, jealous and rancourous attitudes. In September the position was aided by a decision promulgated by Buck and the presbyters that any parties found in open dispute on the streets would each be fined 2/- . This was never invoked, as its results were to bring disputes before the presbyters or Buck himself. Copper coins are now in use. Buck has tried to persuade the members to make themselves a living farming, but it goes slowly - some have started to clear coffee plantations, but the changes in the organisation of the Basel Mission agricultural work at Akropong have caused suspicion to spread, and they have not gone on with the work over the last part of the year. Outstations Apapam – this place needs a catechist otherwise, although alternately at weekends the members visit Kibi, and a catechist or teacher visits Apapam, without a resident presence instruction does not go forward. Kukurantumi - slaves who run away from their masters anywhere in Aklm or Kwahu come to the mission station at Kukurantumi, and a good proportion find there not only bodily but spiritual freedom also. The community is primarily recruited from among such people. At the moment there are 20 such people on the station who visit services without even having become catechumens. It says a lot for the ‘free' local Christians that they not only tolerate such people on the station, but are also learning to love them as brothers. He is also impressed by the way that Kukurantumi Christians are bringing in boys from the surrounding area and sending them to school, giving them their food and other necessary support. He regrets in passing that Kukurantumi is not the main station. The hill there is the highest point in the plain, and could be cleared and something made of it. Also there is no lack of food. In Kibi hunger reigns, and anyone who has seen the Berem swamps will not be surprised to learn that no European has been able to survive long in Kibi. Asiakwa - the community is very much prepared to be led by Cat. Mullings. He in turn works zealously, though is too anxious about the attitudes of the local chief and the people. Only three members of the community are independent, the rest are all dependent of heathen masters or relatives. Kwabeng - settled partly because they needed a station between Kibi and Abomosu. The direct way from Kibi to Abomosu through Tumfa is too swampy to be used in any months but February and March. Cat. Meyer contracted debts in the mulatto way at his wedding during the years and is finding things very tight on his catechist's salary. Abomosu - (Benoni, to which Buck refers in his first sentence on Abomosu is a town east of Johannesburg). 4 of the community are Wesleyans. The evangelist Imm. Boakye has been installed in Abomosu, though in fact two men are needed, one to care for the community, and the other to run the school. Buck remarks that if you want to read or write, you must go into the tiny room which you have been given to sleep in when you visit Abomosu. It is a very poor congregation – they cannot gather small contributions to pay for benches etc. simply because the people do not have money, and even if the missionaries encourate them to farm, still they will be poor for several years till this activity begins to bear fruit. The community consists mainly of people dependent on their families - young pawns and slaves. There is however an (independent presumably) man as presbyter, with many members of his family in the church also. 3 children, his mother, and two of his brothers. (Abraham Bugyei). He notes finally the size of the Abomosu congregation, points out that it is partly composed of people from Asunafo, which will in its own time want to ask for a teacher. At the end of the report is a section devoted to preaching to the heathen. It is mostly devoted to Buck's concept of how the Akim mission can best develop. The preaching journeys were carried on conscientiously, and Buck obviously had a high opinion of his subordinate activities in this field, instancing the problems of travelling in Akim as evidence of their willingness. Apedwa, Tumfa, Apapam, Apinamang and the Kibi-Banso-Kwabeng-Asunafo-Abomosu road were most visited. Apedwa and Apapam offer an opportunity for achievement, and both ask repeatedly and urgently for a teacher. Banco shows 'traces of life' and Tumfa always offers a group of enthusiastic hearers. You get the general impression that Christianity has begun to be popular, and is no longer something half-understood. One factor of importance is that an elder of the Kibi community, Salerno Botwe, is taking every opportunity to spread the news of the gospel, but privately, so that for a long time Buck did not realise he was doing this. One problem is that many Akims do not understand an Akwapim speaking. 3 or four new men are needed - another for Asiakwa, 2 for Abomosu/Asunafo, and one for Apapam, though it is true that Apapam could be served by Imm. Boakye from Abomosu. ‘Dwabang ought to be settled too (Buck sees its potential rise out of its geographical importance quite clearly) - he would nominate for this Deacon Date, whom he says could be put into such a place to work independently with absolute trust placed in him - and European missionaries travelling through Dwabeng would find him a pleasant and considerate host. The fact that the Mission is making no grant towards building the catechist's houses at Asiakwa and Abomosu is somewhat of a hindrance to the development of the mission.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 31.12.1879 Proper date: 31.12.1879 Description An account of the resource The numbers of Christians' houses in Kibi and Kukurantumi are given as 12 and 14 respectively. There are 'several' houses in the process of being built on the mission land at Abomosu. There is a new outstation at Asunafo, again with 'several' houses in the process of being built. Another new outstation - Apapam - a place where the Christians have built a chapel and catechist's house in the town. The year was a difficult one, with the death of Lodholz shortly after he had been appointed to the Kibi station. All things considered Buck spent much of his own time travelling on mission business - only with the application of all his strength to the situation could he keep up outstation visits, and the care of the Kibi community was very much in the hands of the local agents. There was a certain amount of transfer of these in the course of the year - Date went to Abomosu, W. Mensa the Kibi catechist was transferred to Asunafo, and Cat. Tete was brought from Kukurantumi to Kibi to replace Mense. On the whole however the year - though sorrowful and difficult for the missionaries . was one of progress and increasing strength for the churches. There were 158 baptisms, composed of 135 heathens, including 16 wives of christians. There was thus an increase of 16 in the number of christian marriages in the district, and indeed the attitude of the women showed how firm were the roots of Christianity in Akim. In Abomosu two wives became Christian while their husbands remained heathen, and Abomosu girls prefer marrying Christians to heathens. Another sign of strength is that the Christian communities are doing some things for themselves - building chapels and catechist's houses (though Buck complains that the older catechists wait for support from the missionaries - it is the younger ones, specifically Mensa and Odee, who managed to lead their community to build them houses). It is difficult to say much about the situation vis-a-vis the Okyenhene. In the early part of the year the situation varied between hostility and friendliness, culminating in the Okyenhene's instructions being received in Kukurantumi Apapam and Asiakwa as to how the Christians should be treated. At this time a female slave of the late king's was made to swear an oath in Tete that she would not become a Christian at this stage. Buck himself travelled to Christiansbog to put the case against the Okyenhene personally, various petitions from Christians having failed to make any impact. He argued that it was not a question of the Governor getting mixed up in religious matters, but rather a question of freeing crop an livestock farming from the limiting regulations of the fetish cults. Buck then received written instrcutions from Governor Usher on this subject, which the Governor suggested should be handed over to the Okyenhene by Buck himself. Buck is very grateful, and hopes this point will be mentioned in the English Annual Report. Kibi - only 13 heathen adults were baptised, 6 men and youths amd 7 women. 47 Christian children were baptised, but against this were 8 deaths in the community, 6 exclusions (for adultery, including the wife of an elder, a carpenter who had been 'vagabonding' foryears, and 2 pupils of the boarding school), and the numbers of Christians moving away from Kibi (mostly catechists, teachers and school pupils)far outstripped the 6 Christians who moved into the community. Boakye is the heart of the community- and Buck reckons that ground has been won among the heathen in the course of the year. Wandering is somewhat less among the Kibi Christians now that many of them have laid out farms. Kukurantumi has increased less than any others. 14 baptisms. Buck ascribes this to the effert of building. The community lacks money except what can be earned from hammock carrying and load-carrying. He misses a zeal for the extension of the gospel there, but is perhaps this will be cured by the newly appointed evangelist Andr. Ewi. Asikawa had passed through a time of trial in the sense that Cat. Mullings had passed all problems, great and small, on to Buck in Kibi. In the end he had sent a party back to Asiakwa with the simple mesage 'I am not catechist in Asiakwa' - from when on Mullings had exerted real authority, been instrumental in getting 4 people excluded who needed to be excluded. From that moment (as Buck portrays it) the life of the community was much strengthened - the Christians began building a temporary chapel, and refused financial help from the mission for the building of a catechists' house. A number of catechumens announced themselves (16, 8 of them adults, were eventually baptised), the congregation came regularly to services. A fetish priest had been found guilty before the Asiakwa elders of causing the death of people who were ill by giving them damaging medecine. After much worry about his punishment he was sentenced to live with the catechist, and attend all services, sermons and catechism classes. There was a stormy year in Abomosu also. At one stage the whole community was excommunicated until they should exclude adulteress. This was eventually achieved, the Abomosu heathen interesting themselves in the whole matter and urging a proper settlement. Date was transferred there, the number of members increased by 23, and the Gemeinde now numbers 57. 4 Christian children were born in the year, and all died - Abomosu is the worst of the Akim towns for its uncleanliness and its death rate among children. Abunafo - now a separate community. At Easter there was an incident when a fetish priest Otobo from Asiamangma collected the fetish priests from Akim (Buck explains he was the chief fetish priest in Akim) to make some sort of demonstration against the Christians in Asunafo. The Christians at first retreated from the main street of the village to one side, but were followed and a fight broke out when a pipe was knocked out of a Christian mouth by Otobo, using a cutlass (or knife) - smoking being taboo to Otobo's fetish, though Otobo himself is a persistent smoker. When knives and cutlasses were brought out by Otobo's party the Christians scattered into the forest and had to stay the night in the pouring rain - meanwhile the chapel was destroyed. Buck advised the Asunafo Christians to take the matter like Christians, but they decided to go to court in Accra. They were awarded £20 damages on condition that the chapel was rebuilt in 2 months, but, Buck received an angry letter from the Governor - he was surprised such a letter could be written by a 'gentleman' (English word used). He himself felt that the case had done them no good - they were away for months on it, and several of them had not spoken the precise truth. And the last stage was that when the community elder, Mose Tinnyase went to Accra to receive the money he died, and Otobo gave out that the fetish had killed him. Nevertheless over the whole year the community increased by 9 to 37. Kwabeng - A slow developmant, 9 adult men baptised in the year, no women and few children. 'The chief enemy is Gold'. A quarter of the population are Juabens,- whose desire for revenge prevents them entertaining other thoughts. Buck feels there is an explanation for this. He writes that he will never forget how an old man told him how when their powder was all used up, they were surrounded by the Asantes ('that is to say, the Kumasis') and all the prisoners whom they took in the district were cudgeled to death, and how the Juabens, to avoid this kind of slaughter, were committing suicide by families. Buck moralises on this point, however, that earlier it had been the Juabens who had the worst reputation for cruelty in Akim and Akwapim. Asantes (including these Juabens, whom Buck describes as very cool to the mission) are eager to learn, but not well-disposed to Christianity. Apapam - community has increased to 38, 6 wives having been baptised in the course of the year. Andr. Odee, a young man, has travelled from Apapam the villages along the source-valley of the Berem and won considerable respect - of the 38 Christians there are one or two in most of these villages. The people of Apapam originally agreed to have Odee providing he did not bring goats or dogs or pigs with him. Now such animals run around the village, partly because of the Governor's letter, In general he calculates Akim is 50 square miles & if on average there are 500 inhabitants per square mile, then 0,5% of the population is baptised. Therefore preaching journeys are the soul of the work - if necessary to be carried on at the expense of school teaching - indeed the number of pupils in the local schools has decreased in the course of the year. He reverts at the end to a general discussion of the problem of women and conversion. He understands that for a marriage to be regarded as fully settled something like 18 dollars and several pieces of cloth must change hands. If this is the rule among Christians then their ceremony of blessing marriages can hardly be leading to their gaining respect. And what can be done for women who want to become Christian ahead of their husbands? If the latter want to exert pressure on the women they have simply to ask for the dowry to returned. Three cases where this could potentially occur are cited - 1. A woman called Pensian who for over six months had been asking her husband for permission to become a Christian - eventually she was assaulted by him with a knife, and the case was sent by the Okyenhene to Accra. 2. At Christmas one of the Okyenhene's wives came to be written down as a catechumen - she had already made approches during Lodholz' stay. Buck seems to think that it is very unlikely that anything can come of it - the Okyenhene may not put away any of his wives. 3. On New Year's Day the wife of a rich and important Kibi elder came to announce herself as a catechumen 'accompanied by the community elders, many Christians and many people from Kibi town.' She had been to services several times, but usually was beaten on her return. Imm. Boakye went to find out what the husband thought and the wife received white earth on this occasion. She was also asked for £10. Buck's advice in this case is to carry on quietly with baptismal instruction and refuse to go before a heathen court; he reckons that people will not bother to go to Accra. This, however, is a subject which must be quickly regulated, it is too explosive otherwise.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 18.01.1881 Proper date: 18.01.1881 Description An account of the resource A new chapel is being built in Kibi, and there are 21 houses in the Christian village (excluding missionaries' and teachers' houses). 14 houses in the Salem at Kukurantumi. Asiakwa is listed as having been founded in 1877, therebeing mission land, a temporary chapel and a catechist's house there only. Abomosu founded 1878 with mission land, a deacon's house, a temporary chapel and a Christian village. Asunafo similar (founded 1879), Tumga - founded 1880, mission owns plot of land, a teacher's house being rented. Kwabeng as Abomosu. Apapam similar (no dates for founding), Apewa founded 1880 but Catechist still in rented-house thugh plot of land owned. Asiamang founded 1880, catechist in rented house. Tete (outstation) - several Christian houses. Akropong, another outstation, with several Christian houses. Changes in personnel: D. Huppenbauer was posted to Kibi after Lodholz' death, and Buss worked for two months on the Kibi buildings. Cat. W. Tete was transferred from Kibi to Asiamang, Chr. Meyer was exchanged with Th. Anang out of consideration for his health and family circumstances. Fr. Okanta was transferred from Begoro to Kibi and stationed at Tumfa as evangelist. Joseph Labi, newly graduated fnom the Akropong seminary was stationed in Apedwa. The most notable aspect of the year was the large increase in the number of Christians, 204 of whom 158 were adult. A high proportion of these were already married. The large increase in numbers of Christian marriages has taken place in the last year. He is pleased to report too that fathers are taking more interest in the 'upbrining of their children, and there was no case in the year of the previous frequent occurrence of quarrels between parents and uncles. Heathenism seems to be on the defensive. Ata of course is in jail in Lagos as a common criminal, and a recent petition on his behalf has been thrown out by the Governor, who has made it clear that he will punish opposition to the mission. Another hindrance to Mission advance was removed when Sakyia, the deceased King Atta's widow (Eisenschmid footnotes 'sister') died, That the King had been a main hindrance showed itself in the way that on his removal a large number of Kibi people announced themselves for baptism. Kibi - 75 baptisms in the year, though this included people from Tete, Akropong and Apedwa. The true Kibi total was 58, the community now numbering 24 inclusive of the school. They took the full and punctual attendance at services on both Sundays and weekdays as happy evidence of what they were achieving - the missionary zeal of the whole community under the leadership of Imm. Boakye has also impressive. They would all go, for example, to preach in one of the neighbouring villages like Apapam, Tete and Adadentem. The success of the last year is re-inforcing itself, with people frequently bringing their relatives into the church. A number of the converts have started to make farms, too . The coming year with its need for work on the church will be a test of how far people are prepared to work for their new religion. Kukurantumi - 98 in the community and a relatively small increase in the course of the year. Buck puts this down to the fact that a chapel is being built, which deters people from joining a community. The building has involved an extra tax being put on all the grown males of £1. Unfortunately there has been strife between 'freeborn members' of the Kukurantumi community and the Kibi community, the former accusing the latter of rising against their erstwhile master and causing his downfall. Asiakwa - 130% increase, with a school in progress. It was a mistake however to be so slow in moving the Christians out into their own village. Abomosu and its outstations - Abomosu and Salem look a model Christian villages with its well laid-out streets and large healthy houses, but they have had a great deal of difficulty there over the course of the year. The problem has been that though there has been a deacon's house to build, unlike Anyinam and several other places the local people have had to find half the money, and have rebelled against this. The Presbyter, Thomas Bugyei, 'promised to become a second Osabutey, but lacked the money'. Asunafo - give the missionaries very little trouble Kwabeng - of the handful baptised 4 were from Banso. Several Kwabeng Christians fell away after quarrelling with the catechist. No woman will become a Christian in Kwabeng, the catechist's wife gives them no good example spending most of the year in Akwapim. The strongest Christians are now building a catechist's house and resettling themselves on mission land. Apapam - 14 baptisms, 51 Christians altogether. A plot of land has been bought at last after the Governor's intervention, Apapam being quite in the power of the Akim royal family. Apedwa - no chief had been so opposed to the mission as the chief here saying he would permit no catechist to reside, and forbidding his people to meet with a catechist, even at street-preaching. A special message from the Governor forced him to sell the mission land, however. One of the Apedwa Christians living in Kibi saw to it that a house was built. Asiamang has proved a disappointment - though the whole town asked for a catechist, once one was a pointed there was no enthusiasm for building him a house. Perhaps he should be posted elsewhere - e.g. Kade or Osanase (his brief had been to work in the towns of the South West and West, as far as Asuum).
