However, there is also a definite movement among potential pupils to find their own way to school and set aside the hindrances imposed by the elders. In the last quarter they had received boys from Apapam, Date-Ntem, Abomosu, Kwaben, 7 in number, all fleeing to them without permission. They cannot on the station guarantee to keep such boys against all the manouevres of their families, and they have a rule never to buy such a boy free or out of a debt. But they themselves insist on repayment of the money spent on feeding such pupils if the attempt is made eventually to take them away, and this acts as a deterrent. They depend on the boys' own determination to stay, of course, and of this seven 2 have run away again, and the others have needed to be warned and encouraged.

Additional material: The recruitment of scholars for the Kibi School - only one, handed over by the uncle of the ex-Akropong Middle School pupil David Kese. He also proposes Asiaman as the second Akim station on the grounds that - providing the need for a health station is not decisive - it is nearer the coast and Akwapim, food etc. is cheaper, it is on a trade route (unlike Begoro) and it is near the all Gyadam people. Though on the other hand there are more villages near Begoro than Asiaman and there may be lack of water at Asiaman at some times. In connection with the school problem he suggests the school is a hothouse plant reared before its time in Akim. The only solution is more weighty European missionary presence.

With the installation of Catechist William Adow as 'housefather' tensions developed between him and the pupils - there had been one small strike by all the pupils, and later they heard from the Okyenhene that there was a plan among the pupils to stay away from the school at the end of the mid-year holidays. The missionary judgement on all this is not clear - on the one hand they had been harsh and punished people severely, but on the other some of his strictness was well-directed, e.g. the ruling that even outside lesson time pupils were not to go into Kibi town without permission. At the end of the school year (late June) they had 18 pupils - of the new arrivals at the beginning of the year only 2 remained, and several boys had run away. There is also a short report of Haas' visit to Begoro. It was quite unsuccessful in terms of recruitment of pupils for the school. The main problem - the chief Finin was the whole time not sober and quite incapable of dealing with them. Since their return they learn that Finin was destooled, and the Begoro people wanted to bring him before the Okyenhene's court.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 02.05.1860 Proper date: 02.05.1860 Description An account of the resource The report is a more detailed account of the day-to-day events of March in Gyadam: much of it is printed as an appendix to the annual report for 1860 (p.134). Additional material in the manuscript includes the following: About 15 Gyadam women had been seized by the Kwahua en route for Swedru (they heard this on March 24th) 26th March – News came in that 12-15 people had been taken prisoner by Kibi forces on one of the Gyadam plantation villages. There is a more detail about the battle on 27th March also. One section of the Gyadam forces under Safohene Kwadjo Kokoroko was sent onto the Abomsu road to hinder the advance of the Abokrofo. The people from Mosease lay in the woods to the east of Gyadam. On the day when the Gyadam people left finally, one of the Christians came to bid farewell to the missionaries, and he was presented with a twi gospel for all the Christians, and promised to try to visit the Akropong station via Accra. About 12 foreigners had taken refuge on the mission station during the battle – people from Keta Accra Cape Coast, and Fante. The mission house near the town had been left unmolested for more than a fortnight by the soldierts of both sides. After sacking Gyadam, Atta took his forces to Moseamo and burnt it. Haas remarks that Moseamo was under the protection of the God Bosompra. A detachment was left in Gyadam under Diedu, Atta’s father in law. Atta went on to Asiakwa with the intention of attacking Agyeman again. The winding up of the station was difficult – people were hoping for plunder, and there was a rumour about that the missionaries had been given the Gyadam state treasure for safe-keeping. A Kibi prince, with Emanuel Gyekyi were sent with 40 soldiers to investigate this and were pressing. One Gyadam Christian went as servant with Missionary Kromer, who had a hard time protecting him. Another Gyadam Christian remained with the missionaries - he like Kromer's servant, had been bought out of slavery by Süss. 4 went away to Swedru with the rest of the Gyadam people. Soon after the evacuation of Gyadam some Akropong people journeying out of Asante brought the news that a great Asante army had been collected and was likely to make a surprise attack on Gyadam. Captain Cochrane was accompanied by 6 soldiers, an officer sent to ensure Agyeman's safe journey (Captain De Rouvaign, a Swiss from Canton Waadt) was accompanied by 20 In Tafo on the journey evacuating the station Haas dressed the wound of a Kukurantumi man who in gratitude gave him the key of his house so that he could sleep there while he stayed in Kukurantumi. There is also in this annual report a letter from Auer on the Akwapim end of the Akropong Gyadam conflict.

Haas had only returned to Gyadam after recovering from persistent bouts of fever on 7th May. He also seems maintain a rather more intensive level of piety than Süss in his report says he tried to convince Süss about some question by expounding to him a passage of scripture (his letters and reports are liberally sprinkled with scriptural citations). (In addition to the point about his inactivity as a preacher in letter No. 13 above, it is also said in No. 19 above that Süss never celebrated Holy Communion).

Normally services are held on the hill twice daily, including Sundays. Every Sunday at least a service is held in the town, often with street preaching. But it seems they are virtually ignored. Kibi has been visited every month. The two sons of the King of Kibi who had been at the Akropong school have in one case been sold into slavery by the (new) king, in the other case made over as a pawn to someone. Haas’s explanation of this is that they had fallen so deeply into the lusts of the flesh that their own family had constrained to do this. His account of the situation in Gyadam follows that offered in his monthly letters. Additional points: that children given to missionaries to be brought up on the station by the elders are still there although the king does not like this practice. Also Chr. Asante, the catechist stationed in the town itself has 8 young men coming to night school (this seems not to have fallen under the ban of the king). They are taught there reading, and the Christian religion. He repeats the point that they have more girls than boys on the station, and offers the explanation that the boys are taken to work on the farms earlier than the girls, and love the wild freedom more.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 11.03.1897 Proper date: 11.03.1897 Description An account of the resource The report lists Patriensa, Odumase and Agogo as being places where the mission owns land. The total Christian community in the Abetifi area increased by 192 in the course of the year. Mission personnel: Ramseyer to Kumasi, Perregaux to Switzerland, Zellweger through Abetifi to Kumasi, Kirchner also to Kumasi, Jost to Abetifi. Local agents’ movements: Catechist Kwafo from Odumase into Asante, as Catechist Atiemo from Obo. G.K. Aboagye from Mpraeso transferred first to Odumase, then to Kumawu. Catechist Thom. Hall from Late was sent to Obo. Teacher Preko from Tafo went to Mpraeso - Tafo remaining with no resident agent. Monitor W. Atara was suspended for a time in the year, and was also transferred from Nsuta to Odumase. Monitor Benj. Safari was sent to the Abetifi boarding school from-the Akropong seminary. J. Dwamena, after a short time in the Abetifi School, was transferred as monitor to Akwasiho. Monitor M. Danko was suspended from duties at Bompata because of adultery – his replacement Ferd Mensa (Monitor) from Akwapim died suddenly in Akwasiho en route for Bompata. The increase included 95 adults – only 6 were from Abetifi, one married couple having to have their baptism postponed, because strife broke out between them. One of the 6 from Abetifi was Sam Agyare, who had been in contact with the station for a number of years, but only finally took the step of becoming a catechumen after he had recovered from an accident in which a tree had knocked his head in falling, and even then it needed the 'encouragement' of the missionary to help him to keep a vow made during his sickness (after the accident he has been brought onto the station in a hammock, fearing very much that he was dying). The community is not self-sufficient in the spiritual lives, but the presbyters give good leadership, though the missionaries have had to assist them in difficulties involving a group of young men who did not want to obey them. 3 people had to be excluded for adultery, one for unruliness, and they had a lot of difficulty with Christian women who persisted in being present at funeral customs. Many of the members, too, were away for 2-3 months or more in pursuit of earnings - they were mostly journeying in Asante hoping to gain by carrying loads, carrying on trade, especially in cola nuts and rubber. They had had one example, however, of the way that excluded Christians are not welcome in the heathen town either - one man took his whole family away in the hope of being taken on as a servant by the Abetifihene, but when he found this was not to be, asked for re-admittance to the station, having run into heavy debts in only three months outside. One victory is that since the discomfiture of Atia Yaw, no fetish priest has performed any public ceremony in Abetifi. Though equally the people promise to become Christians, but fulfill their promises very slowly indeed. Mpraeso is at a standstill - the main problem is that the mission station is 15 minutes away from where most of the Christians live - only three families have actually settled on mission land. Though there are strong Christians in Nkwatia the congregation there has dwindled, partly through one family moving away to Begoro, partly through exclusions and voluntary lapsing. The chief had been very impressed by a sermon on the bodily resurrection. In Asakraka the community has increased by 22 - Haasis offers the explanation that they wanted to be free of debts, and they were also impressed by the way of life of the members of the Christian community. In the new atmosphere a school has been successfully opened. Bepong - 15 adults and 16 children baptised. Except that the Christians had seen to the burial of an old and poverty-stricken fetish priest - no-one else had wanted to since it was believed that his fetish had killed him. The Christians only made the condition that his possessions should be theirs and they burnt the fetish. Pepease, well-lead by Martinson and his wife, increased by 14 adult and 12 children, and an excluded Christian was also re-accepted. One family left the community in order that the family head should become chief. However, he took over debts of £170 and no means of paying them, and has since resigned from the stool. Obo - an increase of 5 adults and 3 small children. The members tend to be away for long periods on their farms at the foot of the hills. The new community at Akwasiho already numbers 19, and there is a school in progress with 6 children in it. Bompata has increased by 20 adults and 13 school children. There are 36 children in the School. The Patriensa increase is mainly to be attributed to great increase in the number of Christians in Dwaso, 3 hours away, from where 9 adults and 13 children were baptised in the course of the year. Agogo - a total of 5 adult baptisms and 47 child baptisms. The Abetifi Boarding School has not had a happy year - a spirit of unquiet and disobedience was only dealt with by the dismissal of the ring-leaders.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 19.09.1893 Proper date: 19.09.1893 Description An account of the resource A report of a journey to Asante Akim during the Long Vacation 1893. In 1891/1892 Asante Akim was severely threatened by Yaw Sepong - at one time Bompata was full of armed Asantes. Catechist Boateng played a major role in maintaining the peace, and won a great deal of popularity in Asante Akim as a result - indeed he has told Haasis that the Asantehene himself has let him know that he would like to meet him. Catechist Boateng's house is much looked at by Bompata people and travellers from Asante alike. Boateng's house was soon filled with people come to welcome Haasis and he was told by people how happy they were to have someone in the town preaching the Word of God, they all want to learn it because it is 'sweet' and true. They all wanted to be Christians. One of them said it was much to be regretted that Africans knew nothing other than eating and doing wicked things. They thanked for coming to help them. Haasis' response was that they were right to regret that they were all slaves of sin; sin was the greatest power in the land, much more powerful than the Asantehene. On account of that, preaching in Asante is like pouring water on a stone – you are constantly doing it to no effect. Why do so few people become Christians when you all say you want to know better? Their reply was that they did not know better, they were children, and you must have patience with children. Haasis writes that he was at first distrustful of this kind of talk, but learned from Boateng that street preaching was well attended and carefully listened to, and that many had lost any sort of faith in the religion of the fetishes. He cites a recent case when a fetish priest was hooted off the streets when he tried to dance before the people at a festival. (Haasis went to meet the fetish priest involved, was previously acquainted with him, and judged that he was a fetish-priest to earn his living rather than out of conviction). But disbelief in fetishes does not mean acceptance of Christianity. Such people in Bompata are friendly disposed to the Christians, attend street preaching now and then, but are repelled by the sexual ethics of Christianity. Nevertheless there are 8 youths on the station as catechumens, and a family with three children including a grown-up daughter. (Haasis describes the long hours worked by the father of this family in setting his house up on the station). It has become the habit for people to settle on the station as soon as they announce themselves as catechumens. The youths live in one of the rooms of the catechists' house. 5 of them were presented by Boateng as ready for baptism, and Haasis baptised them after his further tour around Asante Akim. The father of the family declared that he had become a Christian to serve the living God, and to get peace for his soul. Haasis writes that he overheard a group of people saying in all innocence of his being within earshot (the group was in a separate building from him) that travelling through such weather showed that the Europeans really did love them. The next day almost the whole morning was spent in receiving visits - including one from Nsuta Asantes who were just then passing the town, who said there were many people in their homeland who wanted to hear the Word of God, but the problem was the Asantehene they said 'Who will help us if the Europeans do not?' and professed to be in fear of severe punishment if they spoke their request too loudly. (Haasis adds as a piece of information to the judgement of the current situation in Asante that many young men of military age are journeying into the English Protectorate in order to avoid going north in the war against Nkoranza. They say they are tired of the eternal wars, and want peace like their brothers have it). Visiting in the town in the afternoon Boateng introduced Haasis to a middle aged man who said he wanted to become a Christian but could not just now (Haasis judged that the trouble was the attitude of his relatives) (in a marginal note he writes that the man has since his visit registered as a catechumen and moved to live on the station). They were also called back by an old woman who said that Haasis had slept in her house on a previous visit. He reckoned she must be confusing him and Ramseyer. She invited them in and complained about her aches and pains, to which Haasis' response was to offer a cure for the ills of her soul. She complained that she was too old to learn anything new, and Haasis comments that the fact of salvation is not something people learn quickly. Haasis and Hanson visited Patriensa where the situation seems to be that as soon as there is mission land on which they can safely settle many people will become Christians. Assistant Catechist Boamma is having trouble with his wife who will not keep the peace and has a tongue like a sword. The chief of the town is not openly hostile. They also visited Yaw Sapong who said that if they had come to preach to his people they could preach as much as they liked. He also preached in Obimma, Kekebiase, Domeabra, Dwiransa, Kurofa and Adomfe. And travelled back to Abetifi via Dampong and Ntawadua.

A new Atie Yaw appeared, after the word had gone around that the Atie Yaw found the previous year was not the real Atie Yaw - after all, after the expulsion of Bowi the real Atie Yaw had fled to Asante. The Abetifihene had refused to receive the new Atie Yaw, but he had found a place with the Kwahuhene. The latter, however, was having a two-stony house built for him (with shingled roof) by Christian carpenters; he refused to send them away when the fetish asked him to, and they in turn unmasked the 'fetish' one night. Haasis describes the events which led to notable increases in the numbers of members of the Christian community in Agogo. Previously there had been much strife between the Catechist (Meyer) and the chief. In April 1896, however, a man and wife had announced themselves as catechumens. The man was in the course of the same day beaten with cudgels, and his wife held prisoner. She got free by a trick, however, and Haasis arriving in Agogo that day was able to hold a meeting with the chief in which he explained that under English law the Agogohene could neither prevent people becoming Christians, nor prevent then living on the mission station. These were the first converts - since several married couples have followed.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 09.07.1894 Proper date: 09.07.1894 Description An account of the resource The withdrawals of the English force has created great commotion partly because the Asantehene is now making profit from the retreat (a case of liquor he sent the Kwahu king with an embassy was in fact returned), and also because of the depredations of the Hausas who stole sheep and hens right and left or paid half prices for them. In Asante Akim there is a sentiment towards returning to Kumasi allegiance - the chiefs of Dwiransa and Obimma leading in this, though the latter is a great drunkard. There have often been prophecies that the Asantes would regain their provinces by the will of the provinces themselves, and this now seems to many people to be happening. And in Kumasi the custom for the dead kings in the early part of May involved Haasis estimates 100 sacrifices - the rumour is 200, but the custom went on for 14 days and on each day there were different ceremonies, each involving human sacrifice. The rumour goes inter al that the King of Mampong had to send 6 people to Kumasi, the King of Agona sent a general who was failing to be submissive enough, Yaw Juaben compounded with a gift of gold dust. The sentiment is now quite against missionaries - the Asantehene says he will never accept a teacher in his town, and (in this climate of opinion) this will close a number of other doors which had seemed half open at times. The result of all this is a change in the mission's situation in Asante Akim, where they are still seen partly as agents of the English government. In Obimma, for example, during Hassis’ recent preaching tour, there had to be public dialectic (the chief's brother being involved) over the depredations of the the Englishmen's' slaves. Meanwhile in Ahyiaem Yaw Sapong is in an ambiguous position, and as a result that the catechist in Odumase gets an audience for street preaching, he has very little social contact finds it hard even to get a child to fetch water for him. There had also been difficulty in Agogo. The root of the problem was a woman who had been badly beaten by her husband, and fled with her relatives to Catechist Boateng in Bompata. Meyer was accused of abetting her, though in fact he had not done so. He had, however, in Haasis’ opinion put himself in the wrong by lording it over the people and indeed the chief, and by refusing to read them letters when this was necessary, on account of their mishandling of him. He resolved a great controversy by threatening to take Meyer away with him, but equally urged him to get his hones built on mission land (so far there was only an Akim man and his son there), because the whole town had grouped itself into two quarters, one pro-Kumasi and living near the king, the other pro-Christian and living near Meyer. In a very short reference to Bompata Haasis reports 10 baptisms and the blessing of 5 marriages in his last visit. The children in the school are able to answer questions on the story of the widows son of Nain.
