Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 16.10.1885 Proper date: 16.10.1885 Description An account of the resource Proposing that Agogo be settled as a European station - the area is too distant from Abetifi to be supervised properly by the missionaries there. The Agogohene has already asked twice for a teacher. This is connected with a new appraisal of the situation in Asante. The current anarchy in Kumasi resulting in the falling away from Asante of still more states has meant that the settlement of a missionary in Kumasi is no longer the first step towards an Asante mission -indeed the Asante kingdom no longer exists, only the Asante nation. Part of his argument that the mission should step forward he cites the case of Abetifi. If they had arrived there four weeks later in 1875 they might well have been refused permission to build a station. As it was they arrived just at the time when Asante ambassadors with a great sum of money were negotiating for the return of Kwahu to the Kumasi allegiance, and had they not arrived when they did it is possible that they would have been successful.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 07.11.1884 Proper date: 07.11.1884 Description An account of the resource He links his resignation with that of Inspector Schott. He did not wish to be connected with a mission which, supported on the whole by people in poor and middling circumstances, spent so much of its money supporting the local community and the local employees. The result he claimed had been to build up an avaricious attitude in the employees especially. If one tried to break into the habitual relationship one was immediately taken as an enemy, standing between the kind givers and their black brothers. He reports a rumour in Akim that when Praetorius arrived on the coast he asked Missionary Rottmann (cashier) if he hand handled out the presents to the local people, whereon Rottmann had to say ‘No’ and his ears were boxed and he fell to the ground. Marquart gives a very disillusioned picture of the local employees. Imm. Boakye, for example, is named as one of the best of the local workers, but receives about £30 p.a. when his travelling allowance is added to his salary, has a farm and so no food costs, and still goes into the gold-diggings with his family. He is also hostile to the clothing etc. worn by local employees and their wives, citing especially the clothes of catechists' wives, silks etc. He also claims that little is being obtained for the outlay, citing the lack of skill of catechists and teachers, especially in arithmetic (this is not an ironic remark).

There has been considerable trouble moving the Middle School to Begoro -the accommodation offered was not good enough according teachers and pupils.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 30.12.1884 Proper date: 30.12.1884 Description An account of the resource On account of Christmas many Akim Christians were at the coast but he was able to meet the assembled community nevertheless. He was impressed by the spirit of the Kibi community - it did him good to feel it - and felt that there there was little likelihood of evil coming out of the events of the previous month or two. At the final conference Marquart and Baur told to the local agents that the earlier missionaries had ruined the situation, and so they were going, as Schott had to. In a postscript Ramseyer reports that he had met a catechist who in surprise at hearing that Marquart had a low opiniön of the state of things, said that he had never spoken in the chapel at a service. As far as the Akim district was concerned, one serious problem was that the two missionaries left Begoro on January 4th before their replacement (Reimer) had arrived (see Weiss’ letter dated 10 January 1885, No 113). The delay between their letters of resignation and their departure and replacement was partly because Weiss as General Präses held up their Resignation letters until the two missionaries confirmed that they wanted them sent on to Basel, in an attempt to get them to reconsider their step. One problem was that the mission was in the process of sending out a bride for Marquart (see his letter to Basel dated 5 December 1884, No 107) and this does not seem to have been appreciated by the senior missionaries who held up the resignation letter.

He has ignored the real progress made in getting rid of the system of total support from outside. Both Ramseyer and Müller say that Marquart lacks the proper willingness to be guided.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 23.01.1885 Proper date: 23.01.1885 Description An account of the resource Expresses further disillusion with the work of the Mission, this time with the conduct of the European missionaries especially. Probity of financial administration seems to have been an issue about which there was much discussion. He maintains also that 5 out of 25 catechists were carrying on trade alongside their Mission work. Marquart also claims that opposition to the rapid expansion in Akim, which the older missionaries considered was 'unsolid' had led to his being put in charge after very few months in the country on Buck's death. He is aware that there had been difficulty between the Akim missionaries and the Executive Committee) for several years. Going over the Okanta case he states that Date had been involved with Okanta in trading, though promised him to give this up. Marquart gives a catalogue of events on a trek he had made from Kibi to Begoro during 1884. In Kibi various members of the community tried to comfort and encourage him. Abomosu as a community had caved in. In Asunafo they wanted their useless catechist taken away, in Fankeyeneko their newly posted catechist was turned away, and in Begoro Sakyi had offended the community and could no longer be given services to conduct. In this account it appears that Marquart had preached in Kibi on that Sunday. In the approved scale of expenditure for 1884 he was assigned travelling expenses for 30 days, in which he travelled for 151.

Some exclusions, many of the congregation were forced to go away to find work. Several of the Kibi members were recruited as evangelists by the Mission. There had been hopes that Ata would return a Christian. He had written letters from Lagos and Accra advising some of his friends to become converts. The actual increase in the numbers of Christians in Kibi was from 475 to 709. This computation apparently includes Tumfa and Asuun. In Kibi itself there were 32 adult converts.

The most recent Kukurantumi baptism included 5 emancipated slaves, and 6 natives of the town. There is a school in operation, with 29 pupils. Most of the emancipated Christians have left their station and made their settlement at Accra and has become heathens. These people bring great troubles on the station and it is good they leave it. Ewi is still working in Tafo, but there was only one baptism in the year and the community totals 13. Osiem - 14 in the community, 2 exclusions of women who (sisters) sacrificed a sheep for the sake of an ill uncle who was told he was ill because his nieces had become Christians. Mmease - progress (community now 10) and the chief friendly, offering to give land. Anyinasin - a five months struggle because though they liked having an evangelist (John Amoa) they did not like his goats. In the end the threat toremove the evangelist apparently ensured the reception of the goats. A preaching tour of the Juaben villages was well received, and in Afidwase street dancing was stopped for their preaching. They want someone to settle there with them.

Amanin at Anum Teacher Chr. Asiedu at Boso Monitor R. Dapa at Boso Teacher J. Okanta at Palime. There seem to have been no journeys into Nkonya-Buem - at any rate Asante's main preaching journey (of 57 days) was into Fante land, and involved the selling of books as well. The Anum community increased by 15 in the course of the year - 5 heathen adults baptised, 2 heathen children baptised, 5 people moved to Anum who were already Christians. 1 was re-accepted, and 2 children were born to Christians. On the other hand 4 members had to be excluded, and 3 moved away. There are now 13 houses on the mission land. The progress of the community is discussed only in general terms - there are no family prayers, but they attend prayers conducted by the teacher. They are less mistrustful of the missionary than heretofore. Some members of the community feel a missionary urge towards their own people - sadly these are all illiterate. One woman especially is cited for her busy advising of newly declared Christians. In family life the main criticism is the blind partiality which parents show to their children instead of exercising discipline. They use Luther's little Catechism for instructing their catechumens. Around Anum street preaching has gone on regularly in the villages of Onyano and Toseng, where however, they have made little impact. Also in Dodi and Pekwakubew. In Bosone 1 person had to be excluded from the community, and 4 Christians moved away. The community increased on the other hand by through the baptism of 4 heathen adults and 3 heathen children. 3 children were born to Christians, and 3 Christians moved to Bose from elsewhere. Hostility on the part of the heathen declined towards the end of the year – partly because the costly gifts received from ex-Gold Coast missionaries in Europe (a Communion set, and a steel bell) impressed the chief considerably. They are digging as well in Boso. In Kpalime the community consists only of the teacher's family, and the family of the first converts. They and the catechumens want to live away from the heathens, and ask the Basel Committee to help with the purchase of the land for this.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 14.01.1886 Proper date: 14.01.1886 Description An account of the resource During the year the station was strengthened by the arrival of Missionary Tschopp and Missionary Sitzler. The year was bad from the health angle. Tschopp almost died of a fever, Mrs Dilger was badly ill with rheumatism, and towards the end of the year the two oldest Dilger children were badly ill with fever. Catechist Afwireng had to return to Akwapim because of bad health, and in his place Kofi Eliezer was set to Kwahu and stationed in Bepong. Catechist Mensah refused to be transferred to Agogo. Catechist Kwabi was instructed over the course of the last year to concentrate more on Mpraeso. Evangelist Otieko leaves much to be desired in his work in the Abitifi town school, in terms of his both zeal and tact. Evangelist Beko works well, and through him the outstations in Nkwatia and Bepong have been brought to life. The Abetifi community gave the missionaries a lot of trouble. During the year Dilger managed to get all the Christians to move onto the mission land - several had begun houses and managed to complete them for this, others built themselves 3 large temporary huts to use till they had built their proper houses. Though some of them finished their houses, several went travelling when their houses were only partly finished, and the uncovered walls fell down. Several Christians had to be excluded because of coarseness and intentional sin. On the whole the Christians were moved by a bad spirit that broke our hearts. God persued them and punished them, but they took no notice. The smallpox epidemic resulted in a large number of deaths, and 2 adult and two child Christians died. The missionaries hoped this would drive the Christians to a greater earnestness but it only made a deep impression on a few of them. Mpraeso on the other hand gave the missionaries such joy. The Christians there are good, zealous, and serious. A few excluded Christians were re-accepted, and several people baptised. There are a number of baptismal candidates awaiting baptism in 1886. Bepong, having no resident teacher in the first part of the year has no new Christians, although since a teacher was posted there several people have come forward into the catechumenate, including two old men. In Nkwatia 4 young married men have been baptised, and there are 4 catechumens. The missionaries have found themselves involved in two palavers during the course of the year. (i) The Abetifi chief and one of his elders had a dispute and the elder swore the Kwahuhene's oath against the Abetifi chief. The Abetifi chief, however, refused to go the Kwahuhene's court since this was in itself an act of humility towards the elder. The elder's supporters got together and urged the Abetifi chief to go the Kwahuhene's court. The Christians appealed to Dilger to intervene because they feared strife and the ruin of the town, and Dilger willingly did this on behalf of the mission work as well. They appealed to the Kwahu king to go to Abetifi to settle the dispute - he refused their request, but nevertheless followed back to Abetifi 2 hours later, informed the missionaries of his arrival, and settled the dispute. (ii) King Atta at Kibi had his fingers in another problem which threateded to blow up into serious strife, but Dilger dealt with this by writing to him asking if he were going to withdraw his messengers or not. After a few days this was done.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 09.02.1886 Proper date: 09.02.1886 Description An account of the resource The monthly payment received by boys in the higher classes was 2s (NB he gives an exchange rate of £4 to 100 Francs). Frequently he is badgered by relatives of the boys who want money from the mission because they are at school. He has even been asked for £4, the usual price of a man. Even Christians will make approaches of this kind. A Christian brought his nephew who would return to school on the condition that the missionaries would pay his (the uncle's) debt of £1. In the end they advanced him £1 on the agreement of his future service as a carrier. The holidays present a time of danger to the pupils – they return with evident damage to their souls. In the mid-year holidays 1885 one boy went to Accra, another to the Afram to catch fish, others to the Abetifi farming villages. After the holidays three were missing. One had smallpox and it was 3 months before he could return from the farming village where he was ill. Another was looking after his ill mother. Another had been pawned by his mother for £2. The second term was marked by an accident to one Kwaku Darefow of Tweneduruase - he lost the sight of his left eye and Tschopp was sorry to see him go because - unlike his colleagues - he was often to be seen in his spare time reading his Twi bible. A notable part of the school year is the not infrequent accompanying of the missionaries by the scholars on preaching journeys - their singing attracts crowds of people. The distribution of presents at Christmas gave him much work, but the Christians and the scholars much joy. They decorated the Christmas tree with red roses out of their garden, and little candles and biscuits. The presents consisted of clothes, handkerchiefs, little knives, mouthorgans and biscuits. Preaching journeys and Christmas make an important change for the boys, who are used to living almost without oversight in the country. They find schoolwork unpleasant, especially as few of them have any idea of the value of learning. Their time of leaving school too presents great dangers because while a few can learn a trade, most must simply sit around - they are not capable of learning a trade. Nevertheless the boarding school is a place where the Word of God is planted. In the report is an account of a typical day in which the notable points are that the boys were eating in the town, and that for two hours each day they were employed in cleaning the station.

He is friendly disposed, and now and again visits the mission, but Tschopp considers that it would still be a large step before he could become a Christian. There is a fine coffee plantation belonging to the Christians between the mission station and Abetifi town. The children shout at them ‘Awura, awura’ as they pass, and while some of the adults greet them politely others shout that they are hungry and ask for money, others beg for tobacco, others want to take a letter to the coast in order to bring back a load, a woman wants to sell maize. At the Nkwatia entrance to the village salt was being sold, and there was a smithy. By the fireplace in the smithy stood two small idols with human faces. Tschopp bought 2 hoes for the usual price, Fr.1.25. Describing a visit to Nkwatia, he reports near the town a great heap of broken pots - the place where people throw the pots belonging to the dead. Further there was a whole crown of figurines 30cm to 1.3metres in height, standing or lying, with a scrap of cloth round their necks, and neatly engraved faces. Nearby was a little door erected at the side of the path to deny passage into the town of a certain spirit. The preaching is twice mentioned - Tsohopp in Nkwatia preached on God's love, and in Mpraeso Dilger preached on the smallpox epidemic. One of the schoolboys accompanying them was an ex-slave boy from the interior.
