                <text>Reports cases both of a catechumen who confessed sins voluntarily because 'the Word of God gave him no peace' (a man called Kyekye), and another who lied about his having committed no major sins. Reports political difficulties in Worawora town. The chief's son, Dansoa Yaw, has had a case with a man called Tonto who had misled Dansoa Yaw's wife. The chief must have incited Dansoa Yaw to act fiercely towards Tonto on account some old quarrel, and when the case was taken before the chief of Gyasekan (b) Dansoa Yaw asked for at least 300 Marks, and the banishment of the family. This would have had serious implications for the Worawora community, since many of the members were from Tonto's family. Clerk went to the Worawora chief to warn him of the danger to the mission, and the chief told him that a lot of what was being said was rumour only. Clerk is still uncertain of the outcome, however. The people of Worawora still keep the possibility of moving in mind - they fear that the Asantes left some deadly medicine in the ground which they can only avoid by moving. Clerk reckons they have reason for worry, for in his 6 years though out of a population of 1000, 150 adults have died. Clerk puts this down to the rocky soil and the fact that the people wash, eat etc. in the village, and bury their dead there. In Gyasekan (b) there has been a large retreat from the catechumenate, and the Christians are in two minds about where their loyalties lie. Clerk writes that they may have to consider moving the station to Gyasekan (a). In Borada not only the catechist but also chief Akpanya gave no good report on the catechumens, whereon Clerk lectured them severely and put off their baptism.

                <text>Reports the proceedings involved in purchasing land from a member of the Botoku tribe. The land had already been chosen, and agreement in principle come to with the owner, a certain woman. On Martin’s visit to clinch the deal, however, he met with some opposition from the woman, who felt that her ancestors would plague her if she sold the family land (it is specifically stated that the woman was not a member of the chief's or elders' family). Martin suggested she should move onto the land herself to which she replied 'I am not moving out of my house, and out of my town'. When he asked her if she was saying that she intended to serve the fetishes rather than God, however, she said that no-one knows what will happen tomorrow. He also tried to persuade her to this by holding up the example of her nephew, one Okuru, who had apparently been cured of leprosy since he became a Christian. The Botoku linguist was also encouraging the woman towards the sale, and after 6 hours it was completed for £1, on condition that a small patch was left as family land. He also reports the purchase of a plot of land at Evhudidi - 20 marks was paid to the chief, and 40 marks to four other men. In the marking of the boundaries the chief was taught to use the compass. Martin also transmits an account of the 'awakening' described in Hall's annual report. He had himself experienced something of the impact of the movement - large crowds of hearers and no barracking in the towns of Kagyabi, Ntomda, Wurupong and Tayi (reached, he writes, by bush-path from Wurupong). The journey was an extremely happy experience shared as equals by Martin and Pastor Hall. He then translates a letter from Hall about the large congregations, collapse of resistance from the heathen, presence of chief Kofi (of Ntwumuru, presumably) at services. Large numbers of boys had been enrolled - 4 from each village making the total of pupils in the school 45. The connection with of German punitive actions is stated as far as recruitment of pupils is concerned. Hall reports that first-lieutenant von Massow with 3 officers and 106 soldiers had come to Nkonya because a soldier had been beaten and severely wounded in Ntwumuru (Hall writes the “King’s Town”) and because the people of Ntomda had not behaved as they should to Graf von Zech on a recent journey to the coast. He threatened to take prisoner the whole body of chiefs of Nkonya unless the men responsible for the beating were produced. Hall says he was the peoples' only hope, but he was on a journey to Botoku on the day in question.

                <text>Reports the death of an Akim merchant in Katsenke died while drunk and everyone believed that he had died because of the drink (liquor). His two wives were there and had shaved their heads. The corpse was wrapped in 'a coloured heathen cloth', with a large silver chain round the neck, and silver coins by its side. Mischlich went round the alleys of the town to invite people to preaching - 'everywhere I met small groups of merchants, singing and lamenting.' At the entrance to the town 4 drunken merchants were dancing around the grave of another merchant who had died several weeks before - though Mischlich spoke to them earnestly they were prepared only to pour away the liquor they had in glasses - not the whole bottle, At his preaching there were 80 merchants present. Mischlich preached - apparently - quite straightforwardly about the danger of hellfire, and the fact that this death was a punishment for not heeding the warnings that he - Martin - had been issuing. There was no contradiction - the elder of the townspeople only said that Mischlich's warnings about liquor were evidently true. It is above all the Akim merchants who bring it - several important chiefs have asked Mischlich to write to the Kaiser to ask him to stop the trade in spirits, but part of the trouble is the fact that the local people coin their own money - 20x3 cm balls of rubber will buy a bottle of liquor.

                <text>Over the whole station area the increase in the Christian community in the year was 220. Nevertheless movement into the church is still a matter of individual decisions though among the great mass of the people many acknowledge the truth they are preaching and recognise God as the giver of the fruits of the earth they will not move out of their traditional ways. The people have had occasion to recognise the signs of God's anger in the course of the year - locusts in November and towards the end of the year small-pox (which in part accounts for the high number of deaths among the Christians). 'Is it not a wise proceeding of God's that his kingdom here grows so slowly, and so much like the early stages of the growth of the mustard seed? Here in this area there must be much more Christian understanding, and much more Christian practice in the life of the people before the masses can turnover a new leaf and be accepted into the Christian community. Should, for example, the new chief of Abetifi and his people want to become Christians - we certainly long for this, and have often spoken to the chief about it - it would not be possible for us and our helpers to go through seeing that all the people were thoroughly prepared for baptism, nor would we be able to see that all their family situations were arranged in accordance with Christian patterns. How many heathen ways, and how much worldliness would be brought into such a Christian community – perhaps these forces would even gain the upper hand.’ In Abetifi the presbyters (John Ata the senior) are given a good report. The community bought the house of a Christian living away from Abetifi as evangelist for £8, and also have themselves put up a new school house as big as the earlier one to house the increasing numbers. Offerings (including the Mission Anniversary offering) almost doubled. Christians begging for re-acceptance are being asked to pay the church tax for the period of their absence. Almost half the adult male members are away from Abetifi - most of them working in Kumasi (Ramseyer adds the marginal comment that several are working on the Kumasi mission station, but others are earning a living elsewhere, and some of these are not living as they should.). A women’s society has been set up, meeting every week after evening prayers on Sunday - the women taught songs and hymns and shows a biblical picture which is then explained to them. The suggestion that they should be fined for absence was turned down, but the most regular attenders were invited to a tea party. Sunday School held - 20 youths and girls were compulsory attenders, it having been decided that no young person could stay on the station who did not attend either the regular or the Sunday school (Obrecht mentions heathen children staying with Christian families on the station as falling under this, rule.). It was also attended, mainly for the sake of literacy instruction by young fellows from the heathen village. 7 people died in the course of the year, 2 of smallpox, both children. In the heathen town almost one person died daily. On the station many caught it, including Perregaux – the lymph which they asked for from the Colonial Regime arrived rather late, but they distributed it with some success. In Abetifi itself one of the measures adopted to limit the spread of the illness was the prohibition of firing of guns at the death of people. Also hens were sent out of the town. Over the whole of Kwahu people tried to infect themselves with the sore of those already suffering from the illness in the hope that they would thereby be protected at least to the extent of having a lesser attack. The missionaries warned the Christians against this but they did hot trust enough in their Protector and many who had this treatment were dangerously ill. 8 members were excluded, 2 voluntarily when they went to live in Abetifi town, 2 more for adultery, and 3 for unbiddableness. Others were excluded from the Communion, including two men who had distributed liquor to their neighbours at an obsequy gathering - they inter al were asked to bring up a load from Accra without payment, asked to do double this if only they could be allowed to take Communion, but were refused on the grounds that presence at communion cannot be 'earned' by work or bought by money. 16 people moved away – this includes 4 boys who were transferred to the Middle School in Begoro, 3 fante pupils at the evangelist's school who did not return after the mid-year vacation, and a mother and a daughter who have fled to their home in Fante, in the case of the daughter deserting a husband sick with a chronic illness. All attempts to locate them from Nsaba have failed. The increase of 56 was made up of 10 adult baptisms, 16 baptisms of children of Christian parents, 4 re-acceptances, and 24 pupils moving to Abetifi to take join the Boarding School or the Evangelists' School. Bukuwura - a place with a small congregation visited fortnightly - lost a married pair excluded through too much quarrelling. Mpraeso - the work held back by strife between the catechist (W. Preko) and his wife - she at one stage going to live with her heathen relatives in Abetifi. Examples given of the results of the catechist's pre-occupation - the catechumens at Mpraeso not properly prepared for baptism, and a young married couple in Atibie going to a fetish priest in order to be advised how to end their barrenness. Obo - 5 Christians had to be excluded - 5 children of Christian parents were baptised, 2 Christians moved to live in the town, and one excluded Christian was re-accepted. No baptisms of adult catechumens - they like most of the Christian men spent most of the year away from the station in order to gather and sell rubber. As a result some of the houses on the station are falling into ruin, and the chapel started two years ago is not half finished. One of the exclusions was of a key young man who had learned to read, and during the absence of Catechist Th. Hall in Akwapim to get married had been given the job of holding the morning and evening services. However during this period his uncle died, and he was persuaded to become head of the family. Mose Ofusu has since fallen into poligamy and is practicing as a fetish priest, though his wife has since asked for re-acceptance. Another (unnamed), the earliest Christian in Obo had to be excluded for his unbiddableness. He had long hoped to be chosen presbyter, and indeed had exercised an irregular authority in the congregation. Obrecht notes that all the Obo people were absent for long periods either on their farms at the foot of the mountains, or plying the rubber trade. Akwasiho - little progress - Obrecht says of Akwasiho that the people are Kwahus and Asantes who live without political order. There is no chief there. Asante-Akim – general progress, and a great welcome for travelling preachers. Bompata - Boateng ordained in the course of the year, 38 adult heathens baptised, and 27 heathen children, almost all resident on the station land. Among the newly baptised are many who were brought from the interior as slaves - 'you notice how happy they are now in their freedom, and how busily they build their houses on the station. They are living as it were in their own village, under the protection of their Lord and Saviour, they are safe and need to fear no more.’ The Christian village is almost as large as the heathen town, and the chief of the latter is - understandably - steadily more bitter against Boateng. He has taken to living away from Bompata, and now the heathens too come to Boateng for guidance. There has been a young man from Koforidua in Bompata in the year posing as a Wesleyan, and offering instruction in English. The Basel Mission school has caused anxiety, with only one rather slow teacher, and 4 classes and 43 pupils. Agogo - difficulties with the chief. This reported already in the course of the year and continued in secret. 12 people baptised, not as many as there might have been. Agogo people too have been way gathering rubber, another candidate had not started to build a house on the station, and yet another, Pepra, had his baptism postponed apparently because he would not promise to send all his children to school (he had a heathen wife, and the daughter's schooling was especially a matter for argument). Patriensa - 9 baptisms of people whose home Patriensa is not - otherwise few visible results, not even many people at street preaching. If no progress in another year the station will be given up. Dwaso - 19 baptisms (including 10 adults) but no school in spite of Boamma's efforts. Odumase - the first baptism celebrated in the year, and 7 young men as catechumens beginning to build houses on the station.

                <text>A testimonial for Sam. Boateng in connection with the Abetifi missionaries' pressure for him to be ordained. In giving some idea of Boateng's success in Asante Akim Perregaux writes that the Asante Akim people have been able to gain an easy living from the rubber trade, and thereby have little liking for hard work, and therefore his having helped to bring about such a large of Christian house-building is very noteworthy. The Donko case caused him a lot of trouble too – the full story of the insults etc. which Boateng suffered can only be learned from him by repeated questions (Perregaux feels this is a very praiseworthy trait of Boateng), and after Donko's fall Boateng had to use every available means to prevent the young men taking after Donko.
