Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 13.02.1896 Proper date: 13.02.1896 Description An account of the resource A second part of this report concerning a Sunday spent in Kpando is printed as an appendix to the 1896 Annual Report. In general the best school is at Ntwumuru, where the new teacher even teaches the less-well gifted in their homes after hours and clearly understands how to appeal to children. The most worrying school is that at Boso. Best learned are the biblical texts, and songs, and the catechism. But how much they are understood is questionable - they are learned off by heart, so much so that in in the youngest class you only have to say the first few words of the first text in the list the children know and they take it up and recite without a break 50-100 texts. Arnold's Stories for little children and Barth's Bible Stories are treated in the same way. 'Hardly any of the teachers ever tells a story in his own sords in a lively way so as to awake peoples' interest'. The language problem is partly an excuse for this, but Martin judges that by the end of a year the children have made great strides in Twi, and he divides the Class I. syllabus into two years. Arithmetic is the subject worst done by both teachers and pupils. The report offers two case studies of boys converted through the contact with the Anum School. In the first, that of Adae of Vakpo, the boy’s father destroyed his fetishes and amulets without actually registering as a catechumen. The second, Kwasi Mensah, was a son of the chief in Ntwumuru, and Martin transmits an account of a letter he had written to his father as Martin heard of it from Hall. The letter advises his father to become a Christian rehearsing the familiar point about the nothingness of the fetishes, and saying that he saw evidence of God every day in nature, and in his own heart.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 01.01.1896 Proper date: 01.01.1896 Description An account of the resource The teacher's wife in Gyasekan is often ill, and does not take Clerk's advice to leave off local medecines and change her way of life. In Gyasekan the people of the town completed the buildings for the teacher on mission land. In Worawora the catechist's house had to be rebuilt after ant damage, and Clerk himself lives in a house in which they have to battle against ants. He regrets it is so difficult to get red Odum and Kyenedru in Buem - they make the best shingles. The demand for a teacher is extensive, though mostly out of a desire for honour for the individual towns. Without a resident teacher the taunts of the heathen when someone becomes a catechumen are hard to resist - the catechumens in Borada have lapsed for this reason. In Worawora the greatest response to preaching is among the women. A school started for the youths of the town in which English was taught started strongly but soon faced the opposition of the parents. Guaman - good leadership is provided by one Richard Ata, baptised in the previous year. 7 adults were baptised. There was trouble over the illness of one scholar, whom it was said was being killed by the fetish Kodonko in Atonko because his priest had died, and no-one wanted to assign him another.

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.

However a major problem is the shortage of local agents - at the coming annual conference concerning posting about 36 applications for additional catechists and teachers will be received, and only about half of this number are in fact available.

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.
