Even fetish priests and their families are content to see their children becoming Christians. Worawora - increased from 28 to 58, with 33 catechumens and 22 pupils in the school. The first presbyter has been chosen - Josef Kwame. The great problem is maintaining Christian discipline in sexual matters, and he was very happy to celebrate Christian marriages for two of the first Christians, baptised 6 years previously, Charles and Thomas. Several people have been brought to confess secret sins. Gyasekan - the community increased from 30 to 33, with 10 catechumen, and 17 pupils in the school. A weak church - often on his visits Clerk meets no members there at all. The main problem is division between Christians from the two Gyasekans. Also the senior and most influential Christian, Goerge Zate, is not giving good leadership - he is almost certainly about to break up his marriage with a Christian woman. The catechist too is weak in community affairs, better at preaching journeys and the school. Guaman - the community increased from 25 to 47, there are 10 catechumens and 13 pupils in the school. The community scattered among the villages of Guaman, Atonko, Aka, Ksuta, Kagyebi. Richard Ata of Guaman, the first Christian in the area, has been chosen as presbyter. In Guaman the increase in the Christian village has meant a significant decrease in the small heathen village, and the heathens no longer come to street preaching. Borada - an increase from 1 to 7, with 27 catechumens, and 7 pupils in the school. The Catechist there lost much respect with the heathen when, at the birth of his first child, he used heathen medicine, and to allowed himself to be persuaded to trust to ‘unclean' specifics. The catechumens there are not moving onto mission land.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 27.02.1897 Proper date: 27.02.1897 Description An account of the resource Reporting a journey to Krakye - the wag Krakye chief's reply to the question whether or not they wanted a school was that they did not want a school - they would send another boy to school if that was wanted, but that was all. A German official, Rosenhagen, then intervened for several hours, at the end of which the Krakye decision was modified to being an acceptance of the school anywhere the missionaries liked, but not in Krakye town. Clerk recommends that Kete be not chosen, in view of the shifting population, largely made up of strangers. Tareeso is not suitable, due to the lack of water there in the dry season. He recommends Abudwuro. There is a subscript from Müller accepting the recommendation in outline and suggesting that Catchist Awere from Anum, in his 5th year of service, be posted into the area and ordained.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 12.04.1897 Proper date: 12.04.1897 Description An account of the resource A general report on events in Atwati and Adele. On the capture of the fetish priest of Buruku at Siare by the Germans, Mischlich repeats material already reported to Basel with certain additions: Mischlich himself had been involved in a riot in Siare on an earlier visit when he had argued against the use of the Odum fetish. Buruku had been consulted and his support asked in earlier times by the kings of Asante and Dagombe. In the Salaga civil war the insurgent heir to the throne had asked Buruku's assistance and after his victory had sent a slave in gratitude of the poison from him which had helped him to his success. In Shiringa the priest was confronted with a slave whom he had sent there the day before to be sold. Mischlich reports jubilation in the villages surrounding Adele at the priests' capture - dancing could be heard, and shots being fired, and notables came to congratulate the German Official in charge. (The fetish was captured too). The missionaries used the events as best they could in their preaching, this will open the doors for them in a very important way, because the power of Buruku extended not only over the little groups of Adele, Atwati, Tribu people etc., but also as far as Tagyang, Anyanga, and Tschantscho. The odom ordeal has also been proscribed - not that it will not be carried on in secret, as Mischlich has just heard has happened in Blitta. But it will be on a reduced scale. There are 32 boys in the schools and a number of young men have announced themselves for baptism, including a nephew of Munu the important fetish priestess of Pereu.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 02.09.1897 Proper date: 02.09.1897 Description An account of the resource 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.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 16.09.1897 Proper date: 16.09.1897 Description An account of the resource 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.

(The incident apparently took place on 6-7 Feb). They also asked them to intercede with the Resident for them. They are clearly pessimistic about the chances for peace in Asante in the medium run, suggesting that the Basel Mission building plans should be curtailed. In a subscript written by Ramseyer from Abetifi dated 14 February 1898 he plays down the political dangers in Asante itself, at least as far as the Kumasi chiefs were concerned. He writes that there are three of these, quite cut off from the politics of Asante as a whole. He could believe that one of the great chiefs like Mampong was setting something up secretly, but no sort of rebellion could be engineered in Kumasi. Catechist Boateng agrees.
