Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 30.09.1895 Proper date: 30.09.1895 Description An account of the resource Yiripe lies two day's journey South of Wovawora - Yiripe people often come to Worawora and Clerk had formed an ambition to see their land, though in fact it comes under the Bremen area. They are politically under Buem, though they are a tribe in themselves, with their own language, and also speak Ewe more readily than Twi. Clerk found there two Christians - one recently arrived had been baptised in Cape Coast. Another named Okra had recently inherited a not inconsiderable amount after his father's deaths, had earlier worked for Dr. Fisch, and had been working for Dr. Hey until his discharge. He had already started to carry out Sunday street preaching. Clerk says 6 of the 7 Yiripe villages grouped closely together, the biggest Male and Kumasi. The people listened to him attentively, since for most it was the first time they had heard the Christian message. They did not make an especially good impression, however - they could be more welcoming to strangers. They are heavily engaged in trading, bringing in spirits and gunpowder from the coast, but have not gained much in cultural terms from this contact - their houses are built of clay, with clay plastered roofs. His return journey took him through Lolobi (Between Yiripe and Akpao) - the people were very friendly there – Beyika, Tetman, Borada, Gyasekan. In Borada the request for a teacher was repeated. In Gyasekan on his outward journey he had baptised a sick Akim man who had in fact been a house servant of Süss, been taken away by his parents but in his last illness wanted baptism. He died the day Clerk returned to Gyasekan. In Worawora 2 Christians have been excluded after 'falling’ but have been replaced by two who have returned baptised from Cape Coast. One feature of his visit to Yiripe was finding people who proclaimed they believed in one God, not the fetishes, and who were selling the amulets of their new faith - the pieces of paper enclosed in the amulets had crude drawings on them.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 06.01.1896 Proper date: 06.01.1896 Description An account of the resource Concerning an application from Prempeh to Ramseyer for his mediation vis-a-vis the Governor. 3 ambassadors had come to Catechist Boateng in Bompata with the message that the Asantehene had heard that an English army was setting out for Kumasi, but that he would never allow his people to fight against the Europeans. He therefore asks Ramseyer to write to the Governor to have pity on his poor people - he would now accept whatever the Governor wanted of him. Boateng also informed him that the ambassadors would return to Bompata on the 7th January for Ramseyer's answer, Boateng having advised them meantime to return to Kumasi and bring back to Bompata evidence of the trustworthiness of their Prempeh’s message. This message was a great surprise to Ramseyer and it was with pleasure that he learned that the King of Kumasi had thought of him though of course he could not help him. Ramseyer's answer to Prempeh was that of course he felt for him and his people and would show his sympathy by sending his message to the Governor at the first opportunity. But that he had very little hope of its effectiveness, since the expedition was already on its way. Ramseyer writes finally that he hopes there is nothing behind this move, and that the ambassadors were not spies. He added to his letter to the Governor the point that it was unwise to leave Asante Akim so unguarded.

It retorts in addition to general comments and the news that he planned a journey with Perregaux, Hanson and perhaps Kwafo through Nkoranza and a Mampong after visiting Kumasi: That Prempeh's ambassadors had brought Boateng in Bompata a present of gold-dust as evidence of good faith on their second visit - this was refused and sent back to the Asantehene. That in late January there were ambassadors from Kumawu in Abetifi 'asking for reception into the Protectorate'. That the Wesleyan agent in Koforidua was already in Kumasi.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 11.03.1897 Proper date: 11.03.1897 Description An account of the resource The report lists Patriensa, Odumase and Agogo as being places where the mission owns land. The total Christian community in the Abetifi area increased by 192 in the course of the year. Mission personnel: Ramseyer to Kumasi, Perregaux to Switzerland, Zellweger through Abetifi to Kumasi, Kirchner also to Kumasi, Jost to Abetifi. Local agents’ movements: Catechist Kwafo from Odumase into Asante, as Catechist Atiemo from Obo. G.K. Aboagye from Mpraeso transferred first to Odumase, then to Kumawu. Catechist Thom. Hall from Late was sent to Obo. Teacher Preko from Tafo went to Mpraeso - Tafo remaining with no resident agent. Monitor W. Atara was suspended for a time in the year, and was also transferred from Nsuta to Odumase. Monitor Benj. Safari was sent to the Abetifi boarding school from-the Akropong seminary. J. Dwamena, after a short time in the Abetifi School, was transferred as monitor to Akwasiho. Monitor M. Danko was suspended from duties at Bompata because of adultery – his replacement Ferd Mensa (Monitor) from Akwapim died suddenly in Akwasiho en route for Bompata. The increase included 95 adults – only 6 were from Abetifi, one married couple having to have their baptism postponed, because strife broke out between them. One of the 6 from Abetifi was Sam Agyare, who had been in contact with the station for a number of years, but only finally took the step of becoming a catechumen after he had recovered from an accident in which a tree had knocked his head in falling, and even then it needed the 'encouragement' of the missionary to help him to keep a vow made during his sickness (after the accident he has been brought onto the station in a hammock, fearing very much that he was dying). The community is not self-sufficient in the spiritual lives, but the presbyters give good leadership, though the missionaries have had to assist them in difficulties involving a group of young men who did not want to obey them. 3 people had to be excluded for adultery, one for unruliness, and they had a lot of difficulty with Christian women who persisted in being present at funeral customs. Many of the members, too, were away for 2-3 months or more in pursuit of earnings - they were mostly journeying in Asante hoping to gain by carrying loads, carrying on trade, especially in cola nuts and rubber. They had had one example, however, of the way that excluded Christians are not welcome in the heathen town either - one man took his whole family away in the hope of being taken on as a servant by the Abetifihene, but when he found this was not to be, asked for re-admittance to the station, having run into heavy debts in only three months outside. One victory is that since the discomfiture of Atia Yaw, no fetish priest has performed any public ceremony in Abetifi. Though equally the people promise to become Christians, but fulfill their promises very slowly indeed. Mpraeso is at a standstill - the main problem is that the mission station is 15 minutes away from where most of the Christians live - only three families have actually settled on mission land. Though there are strong Christians in Nkwatia the congregation there has dwindled, partly through one family moving away to Begoro, partly through exclusions and voluntary lapsing. The chief had been very impressed by a sermon on the bodily resurrection. In Asakraka the community has increased by 22 - Haasis offers the explanation that they wanted to be free of debts, and they were also impressed by the way of life of the members of the Christian community. In the new atmosphere a school has been successfully opened. Bepong - 15 adults and 16 children baptised. Except that the Christians had seen to the burial of an old and poverty-stricken fetish priest - no-one else had wanted to since it was believed that his fetish had killed him. The Christians only made the condition that his possessions should be theirs and they burnt the fetish. Pepease, well-lead by Martinson and his wife, increased by 14 adult and 12 children, and an excluded Christian was also re-accepted. One family left the community in order that the family head should become chief. However, he took over debts of £170 and no means of paying them, and has since resigned from the stool. Obo - an increase of 5 adults and 3 small children. The members tend to be away for long periods on their farms at the foot of the hills. The new community at Akwasiho already numbers 19, and there is a school in progress with 6 children in it. Bompata has increased by 20 adults and 13 school children. There are 36 children in the School. The Patriensa increase is mainly to be attributed to great increase in the number of Christians in Dwaso, 3 hours away, from where 9 adults and 13 children were baptised in the course of the year. Agogo - a total of 5 adult baptisms and 47 child baptisms. The Abetifi Boarding School has not had a happy year - a spirit of unquiet and disobedience was only dealt with by the dismissal of the ring-leaders.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 09.05.1896 Proper date: 09.05.1896 Description An account of the resource There was an increase of 88 in the total Christian community of the Abetifi district in 1895. The largest increases were in Abetifi and Pepeaee, though in neither case was the increase very large, and in Abetifi it had to be balanced against 8 exclusions. Since three of those excluded died while excluded, and could not enjoy a Christian burial, this discipline seemed to make a big impression on the rest of the Christian community. Bepong and Nkwatia on the other hand suffered a decline in the numbers of the Christian community. There was an (unexplained) lapse of the Mission Festival during Ramseyer’s absence in Europe. Members of, the congregation are still spending long periods away from the station – Ramseyer offers as characteristic employment load carrying (especially palm oil in Krobo) and hunting. The synod has decided that it is a punishable act to remain away from one's community for longer than three months at a time.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 19.11.1896 Proper date: 19.11.1896 Description An account of the resource The letter includes a report of yet another attempt to revive Atie Yaw. A new Atie Yaw appeared, after the word had gone around that the Atie Yaw found the previous year was not the real Atie Yaw - after all, after the expulsion of Bowi the real Atie Yaw had fled to Asante. The Abetifihene had refused to receive the new Atie Yaw, but he had found a place with the Kwahuhene. The latter, however, was having a two-stony house built for him (with shingled roof) by Christian carpenters; he refused to send them away when the fetish asked him to, and they in turn unmasked the 'fetish' one night. Haasis describes the events which led to notable increases in the numbers of members of the Christian community in Agogo. Previously there had been much strife between the Catechist (Meyer) and the chief. In April 1896, however, a man and wife had announced themselves as catechumens. The man was in the course of the same day beaten with cudgels, and his wife held prisoner. She got free by a trick, however, and Haasis arriving in Agogo that day was able to hold a meeting with the chief in which he explained that under English law the Agogohene could neither prevent people becoming Christians, nor prevent then living on the mission station. These were the first converts - since several married couples have followed.
