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: 05.05.1859 Proper date: 05.05.1859 Description An account of the resource Reports that on the first day out (21 march) they spent the night at Habantew (the last Akropong village) where there were a party of about 12 Asantes with beautifully made baskets full of salt. Missionary discussions with them did not get very far: their comment was “Give us money”. The fetish in this village forbade them collect water in a brass jug. On the journey beyond Akwapim territory they report that 2 ½ hours on from Habantew they came to Adyeso, a little place, where the path leads over a very steep hill where you climb over bare rock and loose stones. The other side of this hill are two hunters’ houses. Half an hour away is Koforidua, where the houses are built of split sticks bound together. Only one house was occupied, the rest of the people were on the farms, so there was no lack of accommodation for them to spend the night. Auer is very impressed with the 5 hour stretch of jungle after Koforidua, and describes it as quite populated with animals and birds. He also points out how uncertainly the path maintains direction, and in one place recorded its windings. More or less half way through this great wood is the ruins of the village of Suhyen. Kukurantumi he describes as a village built with an almost European degree of order; after Kukurantumi they passed through Ati and Tafo where they spent the night. In Tafo were many gamblers. The missionaries had with them salt tobacco and some handkerchiefs with which to buy provisions and presents – old women came to them offering eggs for a pipe of tobacco. Auer preached that night with the help of an interpreter and had a sizeable and attentive audience - the gamblers stopped to -listen to him. Text: I Tim 1v15. Next day they reached Osiem in one hour. Widmann talked to the people (about eternity, and Christ as the way to the father) but the people listening laughed to one another most of the time. The poverty in Osiem is intense, and it is as bad as it is because the people do not realise how bad it is. They would like white people to come and improve things for them, and when you travel through they are keen to get what they can, and perhaps use some of it (In this paragraph is a short digression about fetishes in these villages. It is mainly designed as a background to the argument point that most of the things offered to fetishes in fact are either the worthless things (the worst pots or the waste from gold-digging) or else (if food) find their way into the stomachs of the offerers. However, he does describe two types of fetish seen, without localising either of them to villages. In one place he has seen a large black fetish surrounded by black pottery pots and dishes. In another are little balls of earth stuck up on the top of sticks. The latter is a gold-digger’s fetish). Odumase is described as a dozen sleeping huts in the middle of the bush. The way to Fankyeneko is difficult, over rocky hills and through narrow valleys. Then one hour south-west to the Berem, and through Osino, a village built in two wings where a large hill stream joins the Berem, to Gyadam. In describing the view from the station Auer describes Kwahu, “behind which the Kwahu ridge rises abruptly. You ca see a perpendicular black wall of rock, which must be at least 50’ high” (Brethren Baum stood on the top of it, and the rock is revered as a God). Below, about 100 huts can be seen in Gwyadam among the trees. On the station itself there is an air of life. Near the station two parties of woodcutters are at work, a stone house is being built, there are several busy carpenters, over there you can hear the singing in the school, and everywhere there are sheep and goats going about after food. Points of interest in the visits to Gyadam town: - The town catechist is living in the old mission station. - The school contains about 25 young boys and adolescents. - The old mission station is described as being at the upper end of the town, and was obviously much more impressive as an achievement than the new, while also looking quite adequate and pleasant as a mission station. When they visited the chief there was a Mohammedan there whom they described as a priest. About one hundred hearers attended Sunday morning a service in the town, text Matt. 28vv18-20. Afterwards there was some crude dialectic with the Mohammedan who certainly was acting as a missionary - preaching and claiming to have warned the Gyadam people, like the Basel Missionaries to give up fetishes. In their journey to Kibi the following towns/villages are listed with comments: Osino Saman where there was a standard for flying a flag Asokyi and Abinasu: Two small villages on opposite sides of a stream Asiakwa (reached at midday): A village built in 4 partes – or better built along 2 Main streets which cross in the middle of the town. Sedyomase Then a three hour stretch of forest to Tete, many gold pits. Tete, a large and beautiful village. A large man-like ape is to be found in this district. Apano, 15 minutes Kibi. In Kibi the king caused then some.-difficulty - being for short time angry that they did not greet him early enough on the first morning searching their belongings “like a policeman” and wanting to have many things. Although on the whole he was friendly, when they started to give him religious advice he yawned very quickly and turend to speak to his advisers. There seemed to be very few people in Kibi – Auer guesses that this is due to fears surround the death of the old king and accession of the new. One of the old kings sons is sick in a village two hours away – the other wants to come back to the Institute (they are described as having run away and been dismissed) but Auer and Widmann are clearly not certain enough of his character, although Auer says he was always ready enough to serve. Their departure from Kibi was delayed by the king who did not give them their reciprocal gifts as a means to achieve this. On the way back they passed Apano, and in Tete a slave of one of theit old pupils had prepared them breakfast. 3 hours after Tete they passed Nyiansen, where there was a festival, 2 ½ hours later they reached Mmase, and in ½ hour back in Kukurantumi. In Kukurantumi they .were pressed firstly themselves to preach, although it was very late; and the chief asked them to send a teacher, promising a plot of land and a house. Near Koforidua they came across very fresh elephant spore. He gives an alternative name for Habantew as Ahabantew.

Of the Christians baptised by Süss before 1859 not one present at the beginning of 1860. Of the children given to the mission for upbringing only 3 remain because of the threats of the king. Concerning the Christian life the people as it is led by the baptised people on the mission hill, they are among themselves disciplining and warning people guilty of sins like theft. An Analysis is offered of the Christian community and its origins (in which is en passant clear that the catechists are included in the procedures of disciplining above). 2 catechists 1 catechist’s wife 2 Christians from Akropong, baptised there, now in the service of the missionaries 5 Christians from Gyadam 1 Fante 1 girl from Akropong There were at the beginning of 1860 no baptismal candidates, except for one 9 year old boy from Gyadam whom the missionaries were not expecting to be ready for baptism for some time. An intense series of customs for the dead, fetish ceremonies and war preparations are already afoot in Gyadam preparative to, the move to Swedru. Mader twice calls the difficulties between Akim and Akwapim in 1859 the Beade revolt. In a postscript he says that the land on which the new mission station is being built in fact belongs to Atta at Kibi, and not the Gyadam people.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 20.03.1860 Proper date: 20.03.1860 Description An account of the resource The letter is mostly concerned with Akim politics, though his account is not very full. According to him the main cause of the present war (which Atta declared in January of 1860) was a Gyadam elder who had fled to Kibi, and then wanted his family to come to him. This would have been a substantial segment of the population of Gyadam, and the messengers set by Atta to Gyadam over this matter were chased away- hence the war. The attempt by the colonial goyernment to arbitrate between the two kings was carried on by an officer named Cochrane, who seems to have been quite powerless. He attemted to arrange a meeting between them at Osino. Atta did not attend. Strömberg went with the Gyadam contingent and according to his own testimony was able to play no little part in keeping the stay of the Gyadam people in Osino peacefully. He slept the night with the Gyadam people, even thought they were expecting an attack from the Kibi army. The first skirmish tool place at the foot of the mission hill at Gyadam on March 19th. The Kibi army was beaten back, and Osino evacuated. The mission’s relations with Cochrane do not seem to have been very close. They asked him to get a guarantee from Kibi that mission property in Gyadam would be respected, but he could get no answer on this point from Atta. He in turned offered them some soldiers, but this was refused at this stage. Strömberg claims that missionary influence over the Agyeman is visible in this situation. (i) Two prisoners of war were just sent back to Kibi, (ii) he had the wounds which one of them had suffered cared for (iii) when it was proposed by Cochrane that either each king should pay as surety 50 ounces gold or have members of each family drink fetish. Agyeman is said to have preferred the former, refusing the latter on the grounds of the missionaries teaching.

(Strömberg visited him en route for Akropong. On the journey onwards from Nsutem Strömberg reports meeting of many Akim war-parties on the way to join the king). Agyeman’s decision to move was partly inspired by a fear of a surprise attack from Ashanti. The king’s message through the mission in extenso appears to have been that if the English government would “arrange” the dispute he would stay in Gyadam, but that they must move quickly because Atta’s strength is double to his own. The letter openly expresses the mission interest in the continuing existence of Gyadam, without which the station would have to be abandoned.
