                <text>From 18 pupils in the boarding school + 21 free school pupils (i.e. day pupils) in Jan 1890, numbers had moved by January 1891 to 17 pupils in the boarding school + 21 day scholars (including 7 girls), 3 pupils went to the Begoro Middle School. Reporting further on the first quarter of 1891 Ramseyer writes that the Christians have at least begun to see that the regime in the boarding school, and the handwork taught is very good for their boys, and a number of Christian parents have sent their boys into the Boarding section of the school. The hand work includes not just the cleaning of the compound, but also the laying out of a coffee plantation. Only two boys were baptised – Richard Obeng and Daniel Nkansa. Other boys wanted baptism, but Ramseyer fears to baptise boys from the school, especially of the ages 10-12. Unfortunately only one pupil is in class 5. A recent inspection by the Government School Inspector said, that this school was one of the best.

                <text>This is a translation of a Twi report of Philip Kwabi's dated 5 June 1890 on his work in Asante Akyem.  He had been preaching in 32 Asante Aykem and 7 Kumawu villages. In Asankara on his way from Mpraeso to Bompata (on first going into the area to preach) he had preached to the people about the true freedom for poor sinners which is to be found in Christ, and the way to find it. In Bompata on the first Sunday he preached twice on the street, and the chief and his elders and the young people all listened attentively. Furthermore, the young men and the sub-chief Ata (with whom Kwabi lodged) were really enthusiastic. .The chief himself is more cautious. Kwabi asked him once why he did not love the gospel, and he replied 'It is not that I have no joy in what you are saying. But I have to attend to the good of the whole district. If I arrange for you to settle here and good comes out of the arrangement, what more could Ihave done? It is not that I do not love the word of God.' Kwabi remarks, however, that this is all a lie: he is afraid that his slaves will seize their freedom and no longer obey him if a teacher settles here. Reporting a long trek: Kwabi travelled Wankyi-Moso-Patriensa (in Amanfo Yaw Sapong is building a new town) Konongo-Odumase-Konongo. On this second visit to Konongo Kwabi met the chief Gyamebiri, a brother of Yaw Sapong, who said 'You know that we are under Koforidua and that there are already teachers and preachers there who will come to us in good time. My town is not big enough to have, teachers from different missionary societies. I understand what you say, and know that you fear us because of the troubled in Akyem'.  Dwaso, where he had to wait till evening to meet chief and people, everyone was out working on their farms. The chief said they would be interested in the Mission if Yaw Sapong allowed this, they were the slaves of Yaw Sapong. Obogu, where again it was evening before people returned to the village, they were not attentive when he preached, and refused to respond to his advances about mission work, saying their chief was absent, and without him they could not say anything. Dampon Asuboa (where they said it would be no use unless a teacher settled there with them), Asankore and Bompata. He also travelled to Kumawu and Agogo. The replies he got to his questions mostly followed the line that the mission should begin work in Kumasi. If they gave permission for mission work on their own authority, they would find themselves having trouble with Nsuta and Dwabeng. The Agogo chief was the exception; he would not even allow preaching, and Kwabi opines that he still holds to ritual murder, and fears he would lose his slaves if mission work started. Müller continues with a summary of Kwabi’s report of 5 August 1890 on the subject of where in Asante Akyem it would be most suitable to centre mission work. Kwabi made a short list of possible centres from which Mission work in Asante-Akyem could be carried on: Bompata, Dwansa, Dome and Kyekyebisa. Bompata and Dwansa he selects as the most centrally placed of these two. Bompata is a good place from which to reach Asankara, Asuboi, Dampong, Wankyi Mooso, Krofual and all the other places in the direction of Obogu and Odumase. The chiefs in all these places allow to preach, but the chief of Bompata wants to know nothing about the gospel because he wants to put himself under Kumase again. His people and the sub-chiefs are against this. The chief of Adomfe would welcome a Basel Mission settlemnt in his town, and so would his people. There is a fetish priest in Adomfe, however, Kwame Pong, who exercises the same powers as Bowi extorting money from people, and having them killed. Dwansa is a good place from which to serve Krofua, Kykyebiase, Dome, Anisua, Anyabeneponase, Wiawso, Agogo, Patriensa. In Krofua the people are upset that it has been so long since the mission made a promise to them (probably to have someone posted in Asante-Akyem). Amponsa, Agogohene, forbade Kwabi to preach in his town. Ramseyer had urged him to preach there, however, so he preached nevertheless, although the number of people listening turned out to be not so large as previously. Amponsa ought to welcome him with real joy, because it was the mission who helped him when he was surrounded by Asante Akyems threatening to destroy his state, and arranged peace. The small population in Agogo would be happy if the mission placed a teacher there: They even promised him free lodging till a new house was built for him. Kumawu, Kwamang, and Bepow are all under King Prempeh in Kumasi. The people in each town listened with real attention to his sermon. But they are worried about being punished by the Asantehene because of this. The chief at Bepow would not allow him to preach a second time. On the grounds that he could not be punished for listening to a first sermon, having never heard the message, but a second sermon could be really dangerous. He and the other chiefs urged that things should be done in an orderly way, and that the mission should arrange things with Kumasi: this message should be passed on to Kwabi's superior and they would heed it ‘if they mean well by us'. Kwabi remarks that he shared the same opinion they should try again in Kumasi since the Abetifi station has awakened great jealousy on the part of the Asantehene. Kwabi continues that if they are to try again in Kumasi it should be with someone other than Ramseyer, since everyone believes he is responsible for the destruction of the city by the English. 'It's the same the whole world over - no-one will admit his own mistakes, and everyone feels someone else is to blame'. 'The disadvantage in moving forward into Asante Akyem is that the Asantes are continuously planning to bring Asante Akyem under subjection again - at the moment Asante is planning an invasion in the area on the other side of the Tano in order to bring back tribes which have taken refuge in the Protectorate. Ramseyer adds the remark that the Kwahus also thought he as a town-destroyer once, but know better now, and peoples' minds can be changed. Kwabi makes the following comments on Odumase. They would like a teacher and listened very carefully to his preaching. But Yaw Sarpong will not let them 'He loves darkness' and fears with a teacher in Odumase the Governor would hear of his activities.  Muller himself adds two comments. On Kwabi’s posting to Adukrom Samuel Boateng went to Kwahu to take his place, and is not at all happy at being supposed to work in Asante Akyem. Müller wonders if Asante Akyem should be treated as a single mission area with Kotoku. But thinks that this would be a mistake since the direct route goes through the very difficult country of the Pra valley, and the practicable route from the Kotoku area goes along the Saltpond/CapeCoast-Kumasi road, which is outside the Basel Mission area.

This allows them to take provisions with them, salt, parrafin, mattresses. Any child is allocated one load. He would like also a rule of four weeks holiday, and since this is regularly extended by 4-8 days without permission a clause to be inserted in the regulations allowing a pro rata reduction of the monthly payment involved. He also suggests that for people working in a community it should be made clear that holidays are a concession – given willingly it is true - and not a right. Too many catechists etc. take off for Akwapim without getting prior permission.

                <text>Replying to the Basel Committee Protocol Paragraph 89 (4th February 1891) on marriages between Christians and heathens. The Station's Conference advices that these have to be sanctioned in new community where the Christian men have no Christian girls with whom they can marry. If the man remains a Christian there is no question of the marriage becoming polygamous, and the Christian upbringing of the children is assured. Therefore they suggest an insertion in the proposed draft that Christian men in the new community with no marriageable Christian girls should have the right to marry a heathen. They are opposed to giving Christian girls permission to marry a heathen man, because there is no guarantee that the marriage will not become polygamous, and there is every possibility that the children will be brought up heathen.

                <text>1891 was a peaceful year in Kwahu, and they were able to carry on their work without political interruptions. In Abetifi 34 adults and 18 children were baptised. 5 adults were excluded for sins of coarseness and the flesh. One woman who had come onto the station 18 months before after leaving her heathen husband, in this year took her five children to live with an excluded Christian in the town again. 2 of the excluded appealed not to be sent from the station, and this was granted. Ramseyer reports less of a spirit of opposition to the missionaries among the community in this year. Many of the community spent a long time away from Abetifi on trading in the north, on the rubber trade, or as hunters on the Afram plains. Ramseyer repeats his unhappiness about this. Bepong was occupied first by Catechist Boateng until his return to Asante Akim, then by the Assistant Catechist D. Kwabi until his dismissal following the discovery of his 'fall' in Akwapim before he was posted to Kwahu. Following this teacher Asiedu was posted to Bepong from Asakraka, where though he had a school he had no catechumens. Ramseyer repeats the judgement on him offered in the previous year. The Bepong station has if anything gone backwards, however, the Christians do not break away and show clearly that they are Christians, and the few baptism candidates have refused to move onto the station. In Mpraeso much the same story - the catechumens will not move onto the station, and indeed there are only two Christian families on the station, the rest of the Christians live in Mpraeso town. Ramseyer does not include the Atibie catechumens in this general condemnation - the station is rather a long way from their village, and they can live in Atibie under the influence of elder Nathaniel Odame. In Bepong and Mpraeso otherwise, there is no elderly influential Christian. Nkwatia - 5 adults and three children baptised. Obo - 5 adults baptised. Ramseyer reports the point about the problems caused by the prolonged absences of the Obos at their farms at the foot of the scarp. Pepease - 12 adults and 14 children baptised. Ramseyer clearly feels that Catechist Martinson is one of the causes of this success. He describes him as working with great understanding. Asante Akim - Catechist Boateng is also very well received, and travels widely. He has two catechumens - one a fine man from Wankyi whom the people wanted to hold back, but he is living with Boateng in Bompata. Over schools - Ramseyer disapproves of the withdrawal of the grant of chop money - it was too early to do this in the community like Abetifi and Begoro. The people - even the Christians - do not value schooling enough, despite the urgings of chiefs and missionaries.
