Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 22.07.1898 Proper date: 22.07.1898 Description An account of the resource Of the two roads from Kwahu to Asante-Akim the one through Obo, Akwasihu to Bompata is the better. - being much more travelled. To avoid going the same road both to and from Asante-Akim, however, the missionaries usually-travel into Asante Akim among the other track, through Abene to Agogo. In this direction you rarely meet anyone - only occasionally a hunter, or a party of travellers. An overnight stop has to be made in one of a couple of caves known to the local people, which stand near the track with room for 8-10 men in them. Reporting on the condition of affairs on his last visit to Agogo, Obrecht writes that there were hardly any adult male Christians or catechumens there - they had all been sent by the Agogohene in response to government’s command for 100 carriers, to carry telegraph materials from Kumasi towards Kintampo. All the Christians had been sent, instead of an equal proportion of Christians and heathens. The missionaries had been on the point of protesting when the Christians all went, but this was the second such event. Earlier one Captain Boyd had gone to Agogo to settle a long-standing land case with Afwidiem, and on needing to go to inspect the land (on the Afram plains) had needed carriers for food etc. The Agogo chief excused himself in the grounds that most of the young men were absent; but suggested that the Christians be pressed into service, the English officer could do that, even if he himself could not. As a result they were summarily pressed into service, though Obrecht remarks that Boyd's judgement in the land case surprised distressed people in the towns around Agogo, and that he seems a bad character - he has had to return to Adore to answer a charge of depriving some rubber carriers of their load. Moreover, Ramseyer complained to the Resident in Kumasi about the latter event, the Agogohene had been privately warned against unjust acts towards the Christians - Ramseyer's defence of the Christians against the Agogohene's charges of disobedience (which were cited by Captain Boyd to defend his actions) were apparently accepted. The Christians are not at peace with this; however, fearing that since the Agogohene has got away with this sort of thing once, his persecutions may continue. In Patriensa the evangelist from Obogu is now stationed (J. Amoa) while the Patriensa teacher has been posted to Odumase (W. Atara). From Obogu Amoa was accompanied by two catechumens - one an ex-slave from far in the interior, and one a cripple called Osae (Christian name now James). The latter lives in Amoa's house, and helps out over the problems which have arisen since Amoa became a widower. In Dwaso Obrecht found everyone troubled about an event which had occurred a few days before - a woman out of Asante had visited relatives in the town - and been found in the middle of one night hanging near Assistant Catechist J. Boamma's house. Obrecht obviously feels the most important impact was on Boamma's wife who, given to strife and causing him much trouble now refused to go to the farm alone as a result, and also refused to sleep in the house alone at night.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 22.01.1898 Proper date: 22.01.1898 Description An account of the resource This is partly printed as an annex to the 1898 Annual Report pp 51.52. Additional material: The Obrechts arrived early in the year to take over from the Haasis family, due to go on leave. The Mission Festival in 1897 was held in Nkwatia at the same time that the new and enlarged Nkwatia chapel was consecrated. At the same festival 20 heathens were baptised, and 3 excluded Christians received back into full membership. Abetifi community: 9 heathens were baptised, 4 of them schoolboys. One man who had been under baptismal instruction for two years and had even built his house on the station had to ta have his baptism postponed because he undertook a slave-selling expedition into Akwapim for a heathen friend from Abetifi, taking there a child which was sold for £5-10. The missionaries have warned him to undo this deed or they will have to report it to the colonial government. 3 excluded Christians were re-accepted, including an elderly man, Daniel Ntim. He had earlier been excluded for quarrelsomeness and fighting while drunk, and had since foresworn all intoxicating drinks, taking for a time to coffee but giving that up because milk and sugar cost too much, and in the end drinking only water (It emerges from this man's story that in the course of the year a Christian had been killed in a hunting accident). He accounts for 25 of the 42 people who had moved away from Abetifi and thus been lost to the community under the headings moved to Asante 18, and to the Begoro Middle School 7. During the year there had been difficulty with the kindergarten in Abetifi. The longstanding teacher, Augustine Meyer, moved- away to Agogo to prepare for her marriage in the house of her father. Her successor was Regina Gyamera, daughter of Asssistant Catechist Tieku of Asakraka. It soon emerged that she had had sexual relations with one of the missionaries' servants, at which Catechist Tieku went to the Okwahuhene for damages of £50 - hence his posting away to Akim. The missionaries felt that he had shown unnecessary lust for money in this situation, as well as having broken the regulations by going outside the mission's own judicial processes. Eventually a teacher's daughter from Akim, - Rosine Donko, was appointed. Of the 8 excluded, 4 were on account of sexual misdemeanours and 4 on account of unbiddableness. One of the former 4 was a man who had committed adultery with two Christian wives on the station, admitted the fault himself, and shortly afterwards lost his real wife in childbed. The community regarded this as a punishment from God. Mpraeso - new missions land has been bought on which the Christians from Mpraeso and Obimpekurom are at work - the Christians from Atibie have their own chapel on their mission land. This is partly because of tension between the Christians and the Obimpekurom people over a charge of murder preferred against Joseph Sesu, the Presbyter of the Mpraeso Christians. He had been seen in a part of the forest with his gun on the same day that an Mpraeso man his shot. It soon turned out, however, that the Obimpekurom people were doing their best to get this notable Christian found guilty and the missionaries spent some time in the various court proceedings in which it turned out that Sesu had not shot his gun that day, and that he was already at home when a shot, presumed to be the one which killed the man, was heard. The Kwahuhene sent the case to Accra, but after an ‘unbelievably short hearing' he was sent back a free man. The Christians have even gone so far as to fear being poisoned now, however, hence their business to leave Obimpekurom. Obo - Obrecht estimates Obo's population at 5,500, and that of Tweneduruase at 1,500. The new catechist is Thomas Hall, a young man, in the early months of 1898 marrying Augustine Meyer. He has 7 Christian pupils and 2 heathens in the school - one old woman was baptised in the course of the year, while on the other hand 2 Christians died, and 3 were excluded. One of these was a woman who was caught stealing yams from a plantation - partly because of the anger of the townspeople at the whole community because of this she was not only excluded, but also had to walk around the town preceded by a Christian ringing a bell and shouting at intervals to the people to know that because of the theft she had been excluded. The Obo people have started to have a new chapel erected because the adult men are mostly away on the rubber trade, and because in any case Kwahu people do not know how to build in swish, they have brought people in from Krobo to do the work. Several young men have built their houses on mission land in the course of the past year. Akwasihu - no baptisms and two deaths, one of a leper. The community responded to the call to build their houses on mission land only when it was threatened to celebrate the Communion no more till they did. The new catechist Dwamena is energetic, and has built a model road from the village to his house. He has managed to collect 7 pupils for a school, but the chief here (as in Tweneduruase and Obo) has responded to requests for pupils only with promises. Asante Akim - Altogether over 240 Christians, and a fair number of catechumens. The first (perhaps Kwabi) local agent sent to Asante Akim returned after a short period and said that the people were so lazy, corrupt, and apathetic, that there would never be Christians there. They are not so industrious as the Kwahus, like the Akims they work in the forest, collecting rubber, which gives them enough money to enable them to spend a lot of time without working. But his forecast about Christian progress has been put to shame. In -Bompata a new chapel has been roofed, and 24 adults and 20 children baptised. Many of these are from deep in the interior - the 'Hausa lands', brought to Asante Akim as slaves. 18 Christians have moved away from Bompata in the course of the year, most have returned to places where they were resident earlier. Catechist Boateng is pleased with the work of the new teacher Isaak Kwakye, and regrets the damage caused by the 'fall' of the earlier teacher M. Donko. He (Boateng) enjoys great respect and trust in Asante-Akim. In Agogo there are 31 catechumens, some of whom have begun to build their houses on the mission land. Being away so much on rubber trading they have not come forward in baptismal instruction very much. Several important men have become catechumens. There is much struggle between the chief and Catechist Meyer, and indeed the chief and the Christians generally. Patriensa - only 3 baptisms, 2 of old schoolboys, and one of the wife of a Christian. 2 Christians were excluded through sexual misdemeanours. Dwaso - after the large increase in the previous year numbers stationary - mission land has been built, but Assistant Catechist Doama has not building going on it very successfully, and indeed is asking for extra money to help build his own house. In Odumase things have taken a turn for the better with the death of the old and hostile chief, and the appointment of a new one who it seems has been for a time in Akwapim and understands rather more of the implications of the presence of the mission. He has cleaned the path to the teacher's house, is setting out to repair it, and since there is also a catechumen there the missionaries propose to transfer to Odumase Teacher W. Atara from Patriensa, and replace him by Assistant Catechist J. Amoa from Obogu. In Obogu there has been a teacher for a year, but he still lives in a dirty rented room, and has hardly any pupils. Of his 4 catechumens, only one - a cripple - is serious. So they have decided to take the teacher away again, the cripple will go to Dwaso to live, and when the Obogu people protested they set as minimum conditions for the re-installation of a teacher that he should have a proper house built for him by the town, and 20-30 children actually collected for the school.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 25.01.1899 Proper date: 25.01.1899 Description An account of the resource Over the whole station area the increase in the Christian community in the year was 220. Nevertheless movement into the church is still a matter of individual decisions though among the great mass of the people many acknowledge the truth they are preaching and recognise God as the giver of the fruits of the earth they will not move out of their traditional ways. The people have had occasion to recognise the signs of God's anger in the course of the year - locusts in November and towards the end of the year small-pox (which in part accounts for the high number of deaths among the Christians). 'Is it not a wise proceeding of God's that his kingdom here grows so slowly, and so much like the early stages of the growth of the mustard seed? Here in this area there must be much more Christian understanding, and much more Christian practice in the life of the people before the masses can turnover a new leaf and be accepted into the Christian community. Should, for example, the new chief of Abetifi and his people want to become Christians - we certainly long for this, and have often spoken to the chief about it - it would not be possible for us and our helpers to go through seeing that all the people were thoroughly prepared for baptism, nor would we be able to see that all their family situations were arranged in accordance with Christian patterns. How many heathen ways, and how much worldliness would be brought into such a Christian community – perhaps these forces would even gain the upper hand.’ In Abetifi the presbyters (John Ata the senior) are given a good report. The community bought the house of a Christian living away from Abetifi as evangelist for £8, and also have themselves put up a new school house as big as the earlier one to house the increasing numbers. Offerings (including the Mission Anniversary offering) almost doubled. Christians begging for re-acceptance are being asked to pay the church tax for the period of their absence. Almost half the adult male members are away from Abetifi - most of them working in Kumasi (Ramseyer adds the marginal comment that several are working on the Kumasi mission station, but others are earning a living elsewhere, and some of these are not living as they should.). A women’s society has been set up, meeting every week after evening prayers on Sunday - the women taught songs and hymns and shows a biblical picture which is then explained to them. The suggestion that they should be fined for absence was turned down, but the most regular attenders were invited to a tea party. Sunday School held - 20 youths and girls were compulsory attenders, it having been decided that no young person could stay on the station who did not attend either the regular or the Sunday school (Obrecht mentions heathen children staying with Christian families on the station as falling under this, rule.). It was also attended, mainly for the sake of literacy instruction by young fellows from the heathen village. 7 people died in the course of the year, 2 of smallpox, both children. In the heathen town almost one person died daily. On the station many caught it, including Perregaux – the lymph which they asked for from the Colonial Regime arrived rather late, but they distributed it with some success. In Abetifi itself one of the measures adopted to limit the spread of the illness was the prohibition of firing of guns at the death of people. Also hens were sent out of the town. Over the whole of Kwahu people tried to infect themselves with the sore of those already suffering from the illness in the hope that they would thereby be protected at least to the extent of having a lesser attack. The missionaries warned the Christians against this but they did hot trust enough in their Protector and many who had this treatment were dangerously ill. 8 members were excluded, 2 voluntarily when they went to live in Abetifi town, 2 more for adultery, and 3 for unbiddableness. Others were excluded from the Communion, including two men who had distributed liquor to their neighbours at an obsequy gathering - they inter al were asked to bring up a load from Accra without payment, asked to do double this if only they could be allowed to take Communion, but were refused on the grounds that presence at communion cannot be 'earned' by work or bought by money. 16 people moved away – this includes 4 boys who were transferred to the Middle School in Begoro, 3 fante pupils at the evangelist's school who did not return after the mid-year vacation, and a mother and a daughter who have fled to their home in Fante, in the case of the daughter deserting a husband sick with a chronic illness. All attempts to locate them from Nsaba have failed. The increase of 56 was made up of 10 adult baptisms, 16 baptisms of children of Christian parents, 4 re-acceptances, and 24 pupils moving to Abetifi to take join the Boarding School or the Evangelists' School. Bukuwura - a place with a small congregation visited fortnightly - lost a married pair excluded through too much quarrelling. Mpraeso - the work held back by strife between the catechist (W. Preko) and his wife - she at one stage going to live with her heathen relatives in Abetifi. Examples given of the results of the catechist's pre-occupation - the catechumens at Mpraeso not properly prepared for baptism, and a young married couple in Atibie going to a fetish priest in order to be advised how to end their barrenness. Obo - 5 Christians had to be excluded - 5 children of Christian parents were baptised, 2 Christians moved to live in the town, and one excluded Christian was re-accepted. No baptisms of adult catechumens - they like most of the Christian men spent most of the year away from the station in order to gather and sell rubber. As a result some of the houses on the station are falling into ruin, and the chapel started two years ago is not half finished. One of the exclusions was of a key young man who had learned to read, and during the absence of Catechist Th. Hall in Akwapim to get married had been given the job of holding the morning and evening services. However during this period his uncle died, and he was persuaded to become head of the family. Mose Ofusu has since fallen into poligamy and is practicing as a fetish priest, though his wife has since asked for re-acceptance. Another (unnamed), the earliest Christian in Obo had to be excluded for his unbiddableness. He had long hoped to be chosen presbyter, and indeed had exercised an irregular authority in the congregation. Obrecht notes that all the Obo people were absent for long periods either on their farms at the foot of the mountains, or plying the rubber trade. Akwasiho - little progress - Obrecht says of Akwasiho that the people are Kwahus and Asantes who live without political order. There is no chief there. Asante-Akim – general progress, and a great welcome for travelling preachers. Bompata - Boateng ordained in the course of the year, 38 adult heathens baptised, and 27 heathen children, almost all resident on the station land. Among the newly baptised are many who were brought from the interior as slaves - 'you notice how happy they are now in their freedom, and how busily they build their houses on the station. They are living as it were in their own village, under the protection of their Lord and Saviour, they are safe and need to fear no more.’ The Christian village is almost as large as the heathen town, and the chief of the latter is - understandably - steadily more bitter against Boateng. He has taken to living away from Bompata, and now the heathens too come to Boateng for guidance. There has been a young man from Koforidua in Bompata in the year posing as a Wesleyan, and offering instruction in English. The Basel Mission school has caused anxiety, with only one rather slow teacher, and 4 classes and 43 pupils. Agogo - difficulties with the chief. This reported already in the course of the year and continued in secret. 12 people baptised, not as many as there might have been. Agogo people too have been way gathering rubber, another candidate had not started to build a house on the station, and yet another, Pepra, had his baptism postponed apparently because he would not promise to send all his children to school (he had a heathen wife, and the daughter's schooling was especially a matter for argument). Patriensa - 9 baptisms of people whose home Patriensa is not - otherwise few visible results, not even many people at street preaching. If no progress in another year the station will be given up. Dwaso - 19 baptisms (including 10 adults) but no school in spite of Boamma's efforts. Odumase - the first baptism celebrated in the year, and 7 young men as catechumens beginning to build houses on the station.
