That the chief in Pepease has forbidden the Christians from scooping up water from the stream on a certain day because of the fetish. Ramseyer has written about this to the Governor, and has also suggested that the Christians make themselves a seperate way to the water leaving Pepease town on one side. 1. Aduamoa. The chief there is still in open revolt against the Kwahuhene following the incident of the pretender Yaw Donko. He recently put two catechumens in irons, officially because of a family debt which did not have anything to do with them. When Catechist Okyere from Nkwatia went to see them he was struck and driven away, and the drums called the people to drive the Christians who were with him away. Ramseyer has written to the Governor on this subject too.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 19.05.1893 Proper date: 19.05.1893 Description An account of the resource Includes the information that a son of a presbyter called Anno had recently left the school to work on his father's farms after twice going through Class V - the same applied to a step-son of James Boamma, who had gone to help his step-father in his preaching journeys in Asante Akim. The fathers would have preferred them to go on to the Middle School in both cases. There are 4 boys in Class VI and the missionaries expect them all to go on to the Middle School. One of the non-appearing pupils at the end of the Christmas holidays eventually gave as his excuse the fact that the Kwahuhene had not given him, as he had all his other relatives a piece of cloth at Christmas. The king promised him this if he returned to school - he returned, received it, but has run away again. (In the sorting out of this situation a Presbyter called Ata was involved). Haasis offers the information that few of the pupils had stayed the whole holiday in their towns - and lists (though obviously not exhaustively) as occupations accompanying their fathers to the Afram to fish or hunt, and to the farms, some of them at the foot of the scarp.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 19.06.1893 Proper date: 19.06.1893 Description An account of the resource Considers that the villages at the foot of the Kwahu scarp are more numerous than they had at first thought, or indeed now know. There are many ways crossing each other, and they have not explored all of them. The catechist placed at Ntawadua has not found it easy to settle into the village because no house could be found for him. Preaching is received well, and involves little difficulty. The Kwahus are easily convinced if they raise an objection during preaching - the Asantes are more inclined to display their knowledge and ability to argue. He is usually easily able to silence them by saying 'You don't need to show us that you are an Asante - everyone knows it. Just keep quiet and listen.’ The problem holding people back from conversion is not belief in fetishes, for many of the people say openly that the Christian religion is true, and that the gods are nothing. The real problem is the church law as it applies to polygamy and irregular sexual relations. He offers a description of the household in which he stayed at Patrensa when he went there to install Assistant Catechist Boamma. The chief wife was surrounded by the female slaves, who were plaiting her hair in the form best calculated to show offs a silk head scarfs (Perregaux remarks that this is one of the most prized presents a husband can give his wife.). The other wives stood around. The children were playing a game with a fruit stone rather like that of an apricot on a straw mat. Perregaux says it is like billiards and harmless enough except that adults play for money. (He suggests gambling is an important cause of the universal debts). A quarrel was taken up by the children’s mothers until Perregaux told them to be quiet (Perregaux inserts some strong words on polygamy in connection with the remark above about its being a chief cause of the peoples' remaining outside Christianity despite the men's feeling that it is a necessary part of their life it in fact leads necessarily to quarrels, greediness and hatred). At the end is a reflective passage about the differences which exist between races, customs, usages etc. and the gifts of God to Europe which it is their responsibility to share with the African races.

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.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 23.10.1893 Proper date: 23.10.1893 Description An account of the resource His first report on the Nkoranza war. His information on events in Asante (he offers this is in the face of the many rumours circulating) is that about 1,5 years previously Nkoranza had declared itself independent of Asante, whereon Prempeh had gathered 'the few people who remained true to him' and sent an army off to Nkoranza which had to withdraw per several battles. The army was brought together again and sent against Nkoranza (Ramseyer repeats Haasis' report that many young men had fled to the coast in order to be free of involvement in the war) - Ramseyer is not sure what has happened except that the Nkoranzas are not a populous peoples and that they had no allies, and had withdrawn towards Ateobu. The Kumasis then threatened Ateobu with war - but Ateobu has been for the last 2 years under British protection - the colonial government has decided to act. Three weeks before this letter was written Ferguson travelled through Abetifi in a forced march to Ateobu to discover how the land lay. He brought a letter to Ramseyer from the Governor saying that this step was necessary - they must show the Asantes that they could protect their Protectorate. 10 days before the receipt of the letter the first section of 55 Hausas with one officer and one doctor arrived, and five days later 2 more officers and 120 soldiers. They have two cannon and a sort of mitrailleuse. En route is Colonel Scott and 6 more officers and 150-200 Hausas - and a maxim gun. The officers and troops so far are billeted in the town, but they will receive Colonel Scott on the station. Ramseyer wonders if with all this force the Colonial Government intends to attack Kumasi: 'I have often asked the Governor about Kumasi’s being taken under English law, and it seems this is only a question of time.'

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 03.11.1893 Proper date: 03.11.1893 Description An account of the resource A sequel to the letter No. 134 above. The 'mitrailleuse' is some sort of gun firing rockets. The English officers are now all on the station which they admire - several are hawing to live in the houses of the Christian families. The 400 hausas are billeted in the town. One day the officers were officially greeted on the station by the various Kwahu towns dancing war-dances in their honour. The missionaries are not clear what Scott's mission is. They believe it involves creating a situation in which the Asantes cannot disturb the peace again, so they felt it was their duty to write a letter to him setting out the arguments for putting Kumasi under British law. This letter was very graciously received and sent to the Governor. Meantime more towns are trying to break free of Kumasi. Agogo has destooled its chief and applied to be put under the English protectorate. And Ramseyer himself received a letter from Yaw Sapong (his ambassador was accompanied by ambassadors from Konongo) written by ex-sir teacher Odei addressed to him which asked him out of the kindness of his heart to save their lands from destruction by the English troops, and also to send a teacher which had done such a lot for other states (Ramseyer interpolates that he refers to Bompata here), and also to get his land accepted into the Protectorate. The request for a teacher is repeated - he can point out to us whether we are going good or evil'. Colonel Scott's reply was to send an officer to the coast for guidance, and to request that people be present in 14 days’ time empowered to sign a treaty.

Hunter’s dance: This takes place when a young hunter kills any of the larger animals - e.g. a buffalo. He must send the flesh home before returning himself, and when he does return, he must stay in the first house he sees. The next day he is smeared with earth from an ant hill, puts on a straw hat with a cloth bound round his head, and palm leaves around his neck. In his left hand he carries a bush and in his right hand his gun. He makes the movements he made in the bush when he first saws the animal. The people present throw flour (rice flour or corn flour) over him. The head of the dead animal is wreathed with palm leaves and a bus again, sprinkled with local flour, and carried in front of him by a nephew. The latter moves his head as if he were possessed by the spirit of the animal. Horns are blown. When they reach the main street, everyone halls out 'Well done hunter'; the hunter gives 6 pieces of meat to the chief huntsman, he congratulates him, and the hunter breaks out into a wild dance. He then goes to his house, the animal's head is put down, and the hunter goes from house to house thanking people. The next day a special soup is made of the intestines and the best part of the head, and all the other hunters are invited to the feast, after which the smoked flesh is distributed to every family in the town. The hunter in return is presented with beads and cowries, and rubbed with the red die of a certain tree. The element of feast and dance representing the killing of the animal is repeated twice before the hunter can go out again confident that if he meets a large animal he will not be wounded. Carrying of the dead: Clerk says that the custom is very like that of other Gold Coast tribes. No mention is made of how the carriers were selected. Funeral customs: On death the body is laid out in the street - the only exceptions from this rule being suicides and victims of leprosy and smallpox etc. If a child it is laid at the side of the street, if an adult, in the middle. The man and women group themselves separately to mourn and cry - if it is a child's death this is over soon; if an adult the mourning and firing of guns goes on for one to three days depending on rank. Before the burial three dances occur – Agbla, Okpanyo, and Okpese after which an elder with a gong-gong calls ‘ofofofo' and asks the corpse to carry on any revenge which may be necessary in the world of the spirit. An adult is buried wrapped in a mat, with his own clothes, and clothes given him by his relatives, and a bag of cowries. If he owns a slave then especial honour is done to him in that one side of the grave is hollowed out, and when the corpse has been put inside it is walled off from the open grave so that no earth will fall on the body. Because of this, says Clerk, everyone strives to have bought at least one slave. Following this the elders of the town decide when the second part of the funeral custom is to take place - until then the widow(s) or widower of the deceased live with shaved heads in the house of the closest relative of the deceased and are fed by his or her relatives. On the day of this custom all the people who belong to the town prepare food which is then divided among the families by the family of the deceased - if you go through the town on the morning of such a day all the people are to be found grouped around the bowls of food. After the distribution of food the chief takes dried clay and puts it down in the street in the presence of the men of the town. On the clay he lays a tobacco leaf, and pours wine over it three times and calls to the deceased, the dead, and the fetishes, to give life and to divert death from the town. After which all those present drink palm wine. Then a certain food is cooked and distributed among certain people, the whole house cleared out, sprinkled with water in which a certain herb has been steeped, and the rubbish taken out of the town.
