CHAPTER 1. The Founding of the London Missionary Society.
In examining the history of the world we find in every
age a few men. of faith, who, not satisfied with the
possession of God's grace for themselves, have the great
desire to make known that grace to others of their kind.
it was by a few such men as these that our parent Society, .
the London Missionary Society, was started towards the end of
the eighteenth century. The condition of affairs in England
at that time was far from being satisfactory. Politically
and generally the country was struggling to attain to a better
position. Because of the depressed condition of the people,
due to the Napoleonic wars, it was necessary for her to increags...
the volume of her trade, and to add to her colonies. There |
was not only political and economic depression, but the
religious temper of the people also was deplorably low, it was
at this juncture that George Whitfield and the Wesleys, filled
with deep religious geal and fervour, began their great work |
of awakening to a sense of their religious needs the people of
England « ‘
The great explorer, Captain Cook, had also about 1771-1782
discovered the islands of the South Seas, and his description
| of the condition of the people of those Islands had made many
| feel their responsibility concerning the sending to such
* needy ones of the Gospel of desus Christ, Dre Hawels, a
| member of the Anglican community, determined to sénd some
| ' missionaries to the South Seas, but the Bhshops of both London
and Canterbury refused to ordain them because they had not
| recelved the proper training for the ministry, so for the time
| at any rate his endeavour failed.

urging upon all Christians their responsibility concerning !
the carrying of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the heathen; :
| this pamphlet had a wide circulation, and largely performed
| the object for which it was written. On May Sist 1792 Carey
preached a great sermon in Nottingham, which stirred many
| ; hearts, and was the cause of a seemt meeting of the Baptist ; .
| denomination in October of the same year, when the Baptist "
| igssionary Society was founded. Through this momentous
| decision our Mother Country of India received the Gospel, and
| not only she, but, through the founding at a later date of
| other Missionary Societies that faith has been spread through |

| the whole world. In 1793 on June Sist William Carey and John
Thomas set sail to India as the first Protestant Missionaries.
On reaching India they settled at Serampur near Calcutta and
began there thelr great missionary careers.
A letter which had been written by Carey after his arrival
in India was read by one, Dr-eRowlands, at some special mebtings
which were being held in Bristol. Two ministers, Revs.Bogue
and Steven, were greatly moved by what they had heard, and,
together with a friend, Rev.eHaigh, they met for prayer, asking
God that some way might be shown to them by which they would be
enabled to send the Gospel abroad. One result of their meeting
was that Mr.Bogue wrote a stirring article in the Evangelical
Magazine for September 1794, and it was largely through this
| article that the London Missionary Society was started.
John Eyre, a minister of the Anglican Church, wrote an
article in the Evangelical Magazine pleading that all sections
of the Prostestant Church should sink their differences and
| join together in the great enterprise of making Christ Ikmown.
. His appeal was greatly helped by the advocacy of Rev. Matthew
Wilkes,who was at that time the Minister of Whitfields Tabernacle,
| and it was largely due to the efforts of these two men that the
project of starting the L.M.S. was continued.
. The Evangelical Magazine for November 1794 contained a
. review by Dr.Haweis of a book entitled "Letters on Missions”
; which had been written by Dr.Melville Horne, an Anglican ee
. clergyman. This aroused so much interest that it resulted in
| a sum of £500 being subscribed with the object of sending
. missionaries to the South Seas. in the meantime Dr.Williams.
of Birmingham had been appointed to draw up a circular letter
| and send it to the Churches of England and Wales, and this
és letter was the means of stirring up many people to an interest
| in the work of the Society. | ;
| On Nove4th 1794 David Bogue, Joseph Brooksbank, John Eyre,
| John Love, John Reynolds, Matthew Wilkes and John Townsend, :
. ' ministers of the Anglican and Independent Churches, gathered
: at Baker's Coffee House, where they held a prayer meeting, at
| which the Missionary Society was established. Following on
this, on Jan,.8th and JaneiSth 1796, meetings were held at which
| the Rev.John Eyre was appointed Treasurer, the Rev.edohn Love
| Secretary, and a Committee was formed for the purpose of
| acquainting the ministers of their various denominations with
‘ the proceedings taken.y On Fet.17th a further moeting was held
| to make arrangements for carrying on the work of the Society,
) and for the collection of funds for that purpose. Further it.
was arranged that 15,000 copies of a sermon preached on that
occasion by Rev.George Burder should be distributed broadcast
| throughout the country, and the 34 ministers, representing many ‘
|



| 3
denominations, gathered at that meeting issued a signed
statement setting forth the objects of the Society, and the
regulations for the conduct of the work.
By Septef1lst of that year subscriptions to the extent of
£740 had been contributed. At the Society's first Conference
held Sept.22+24, Dr eHaweils, Rev.George Burder, Rev.Samuel
| Greathead, Reved Hoy, and Rev,Rowland Hill, delivered excellent
addresses in support of the onterprise. During this Conference
all united in public worship, and formulated regulations for
further procedure. :
At the meeting of the Executive Committee held on the
| 24th the subject of sending missionaries to the South Seas was
broached, and on that day ReveDavid Bosue preached from
Hageal 1.2, "Thus speaketh the Lord of Hosts, saying, This ;
people say, The time is not come, the time that the Lord's
house should be built", an eloquent and fervent sermon which :
greatly stirred the hearts of his audience, so that 1+ was not
| only determined to send out men to make known the message of
the Gospel to others, but some 200 ministers, belonging to
different denominations, who previously had been sharply |
divided, united in one place in common hymn and prayer, and
| filled with the spirit of Christ, determined to forget their
. past differences, and in the words. of the eloquent preacher
| to celebrate the funeral of bigotry". This is a matter that
| deserves our serious attention, The founders of our prerent
Soclety were mostly clergymen of the Anglican Church. in face
of the differences which are so painfully apparent both in our
. own and other lands among the various Missions and between the
various sections of the Anglican Church, many are led to wonder
| how it came to pass that all these were able and willing to unite
in the forming of one Society, but looking more closely into the
matter we are compelled with sorrow to confess that a greate ;
| << measure of Christian unity was exhibited in those times thabpi
| our oWNa, The last meeting of the Conference was held on
Friday 24th and on that day the Executive appointed 30 Directors,
and decided to send them to all parts of the country to raise
funds » it, was further decided, not only to send Missionaries
to the South Seas, but to the Pelew Islands or Sumatra, to the
Goromandel Coast of India, to Surat, to Barbary and the West
Coast of Africa. Furthermore it was decided to hold a
monthly prayer meeting.
A very important step was taken in the anpointmen
merchant, Mr.Jdoseph Hardcastle, to the office of prokmuneee
Hie was a man of great generosity and high respectability, and
was assoclated with Thomas Clarkson, Grenville Sharp,
j ; y f



&
William Wilberforce, and others, who subsequently took a |
great part in the struggle for the abolition of slavery.
ven before the Missionary Society was established, ee
Mr,.Hardcastle had been one of those who had formed plans
for the sending out of Missionaries to the West Coast of
Africa, it was of great service to the Society to have as
its Treasurer one sO magnanimous as Mr.Hardcastle, and his
appointment not only gave general satisfaction, but because
his place of business was at the Old Swan Stairs, near
London Bridge, it was possible for the Society for many years
to make use of his premises.
it was here, also, that the British & Foreign Bible Society,
and the Religious Tract Society were founded, by the co-operation .
of people of many denominations. Thus our London Missionary
| Society, the first to be established, became the mother of the .
other two, and earned the deserved respect and praise of all
devoted followers of Christ, Undoubtedly Joseph Hardcastle
played his part in the establishing of these three great
| Societies. He occupied the post of Treasurer for 20 years,
and by his efforts the resources of the Society were greatly
increased, and he himself was held in high respect by all its
mombers .
thus the meeting held on Friday evening, Sept.2£5th, was not
| only the last of the series, but the most important.
| The Directors met on the 28th and appointed Rev.dohn Love
. and lir,.William Shrubsole as joint Secretaries. Further »
Vaptain James Wilson, who had previously been in the service \
of the Honourable Last India Company, and then in receipt of
_ * ‘pension, offered his services as Captain of the sailing shép
"Duff" and agreed to take the first batch of missionaries to
«~ Yahiti in the South Seas in that shép in May 1796. Wilson
| had had a career full of painful incident. While he was in
| india he was taken prisoner in the time of Haider Ali, but
| escaped from Cuddalore, and in trying to make his way to
) ° Tranquabar to take refuge with the Danes he swam acgross the
Cauvery, but was again taken during the night. He was 3
) severely beaten, stripped naked, and tied between two horses,
and taken on foot all the way to Seringapatam and there was
imprisoned in a dark dungeon with many other Europeans who had
been captured by Haider Ali. Subsequently the British
arrived, laid seige to the town and captured it, and entering,
released those who remained alive, out of the many who had been
imprisoned. Among these was Captain Wilson, and when he had |
somewhat regained his strength he was sent home to England.
Whilst he was in this country he appears to have been entirely
indifferent to religion, but after leaving India he realised
|
q



§
his true condition, and, becoming a devoted follower of
Christ, jcyfully agreed to conduct to the South Seas those
who had dedicated their lives to the enterprise of winning
the world for Christ. May we not learn from this how God
in His own way raises up workers for His cause?
As we have already seen our Society was not founded by the
members of any one Church or Denomination but by the servants
: of Christ in all the Qhurches, and consequently the
| missionaries of this Society have ceme from all sections of the
Church » This explains the fact that the Directors accepted
the suggestion -f Dr.Waugh with regard to the objects of the
| Society, vigzi- that "Its design is not to send Presbyterianisn,
Independency, Hpiscopacy, or any other form of Church Order or
| Government, but the glorious Gospel of the blessed God to the 3
| heathen, and that it shall be left to the minds of the persons
whom God shall call into the fellowship of His Son from among
them to assume for themselves such form of Church Government )
Bee as to them shall appear most agreeable to the word of God".
This was adopted as one of the fundamental principles of the
. Society, and in pursuance of this principle the Directors have
accepted candidates for service from all sections of the Church
and have sent them out as preachers of the Gospel to forsign
lands « Many of the first missionaries of the Society were
Presbyterians. At the outset our Society was founded by
| Christians of all phases of belief, but as time went on the
| various denominations constituted their own missionary societies
. and in the end the work of the Seciety has come to be carried
| on largely by the Congregational Churches. Whilst this was
the case, our Society has never lagged behind in rendering aid
. to other missionary organisations. When the Baptist Society
was in great need of help our Society gladly extended financial
ald and when the Church Missionary Soclety was subsequently
established gave great assistance in securing for them the
services of missionaries from Germany. Uur Society has always
| « been foremost in assisting bb fORE how adciatian anh establishing
| native missionary socleiies in other lands.
. The supporters of our Society came to feel that 1t would be
' wiserto possess a ship of their own than to send out their
. missionaries in hired vessels, and as we have already heard
. the Directors decided to purchase the "Duff" for a sum of £4800.
| if we search history from the beginhhag of the world until now
. we shall find that it had never hitherto happened that believers
. in God, the Oreator of the Universe, had thus sent forth a
! ehip in His service. Thus this ship, sent forth by the London .
| Wissionary Socisty to take the Gospel of Peace and Salvation '
| to others was borne forth on the bosom of the boundless deep.
| On the 27th July a Dedication Service was held in Zion Chapel
to take farewell of the missionaries to the South Seas, and after ]



6
five ministers of different denéminations had spoken words
of counsel and encouragement, Dr.sWilliams, placing a Bible
in the hands of each missionary, said "Our beloved brother,
go, live agreeably to this word, and fhtublish the Gospel of
Jesus Christ to the heathen, according to your gifts, calling
and abilities. in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost", in answer to which they all with one accord
| replied, "i will, the Lord being my Helper”. Afterwards, on
| Aug.s9th, a solemn Communion Service was held, in which all
| united in that holy Sacrament ordained by our Lord for His
/ followers. Next day, as they embarked on a vessel on the
| Thames, thousands came to bid them farewell, and united in
praising God, and in invoking the blessing of the Reavenly
Father upon those about to set forth. Thus our London
| Missionary Society sent out its first missionaries to the
South Sea Islanders to claim them for Christ.
it is advisable that we should have at any rate some
glight conception of gne way in which the London Missionary
| Society, after hav ing, ecun its work, carried on operations
| in the different parts of its field. The fields which they
decided upon at the first were chosen without adequate
knowledge and thus we see that they were compelled to abandon
| stations which had been established with much toil and pain,
| because their efforts were unfruitful.
| At this time, owing to the great conflict between the
ee English and Napeheon Bonaparte there were many thousands of
French prisoners in England, and efforts were made to
| distribute among them the New Testament, Catediism, and other
literature in French. Endeavours were also made for the
| evangelisation of the Jews in England and of Lascars employed
in shipping, and for a few years missions were carried on in
the Mediterranean at Malta and Zante. Moreover they sent
Missionaries to Russia and established three or four stations |
) in which the work of spreading the Gospel was carried on. They |
| also endeavoured to gond Missionaries to Newfoundland and Canada, !
_ * put after a time handed over thisgwork to those who had been |
| in the field before them, and considering it to be the chief
duty of their Society to preach the Gospel in lands where it
| was not known, they relinquished these enterprises, And thus
| the work of our Society has grown to be what we see it to-day. :
The work of He Kingdom has been carried on in China, in the
*~ Island of Maddsger, in the South Sea Islands, in different
parts of Afridh, and in many places, in our own Motherland.
Hundreds of Missionaries have been sent out, thousands of
native workers have been appointed, tene of thousands of |
converts have been won, native Churches have been established
and the work which the Society formerly did has been gradually |
| handed over to their control,

In concluding this chapter it is necessary to emphasise
one other point. When we think of the work accomplished by
our great Society which has never departed from its basic y
principle, of the fact that it is the mother of the ‘Bible | Mt
Socitty and the Tract Society, whose work is known the wide \
world over, of the preaching of the Gospel in many lands, of the
translation of that Gospel into many languages, of thd thousands
of European and native ministers, scatechists, and teachers, of, —
the boys and girls schools it has established, of the Hospitals :
it mainteaine, of the Ghurches it has founded,and of the’) \
thousands of Christian families which are the fruit of its work}
. gnd when we remember how great is the service which our Society \
has rendered to the world, and the faith and enthusiasm which
q maintaing that work even until now, what follower of Christ
| can refrain from giving glory to His Holy name. | }
If the founders of our Society could return to see the
work belng carried on by it how great would be their joy, but
there can be no doubt that, although not with us in the flesh,
they are with us in the spirit, rejoicing in our present
endeavours, and encouraging the Christians of this generation 3
to continue their toil until the end of the age.

CHAPTER IT.
INDIA. a
: Whilst careful students of the history of India, who
realise its vast extent, can visualize its fertile fields and 3
teeming multitudes, appreciate its ancient civilization, and
the intelligence of its people, and admire their faith and
devotion to God, will find much to rejoice over, yet the poli-
tioal and religious condition of our country at the end of the
18th century cannot fail to bring sadness to the discerning
mind. In the lith century the Mahommedans invaded the land,
and for some centuries ruled it well, but subsequently, as the |
result of factions between Indian Princes and Mahommedan Nawabs
the land was filled with strife, and one after the other the
Portuguese, the Dutch, the French, and the English followed on
each others heels and brought with them the disturbing influ-
ences of the love of rule, and their absorption in commerce. .
The British East India Company first came to India as
traders, attracted by the resources, and the wealth of the 3
country, and profiting by the hopeless divisions and helpless
condition of its people, and actuated by the desire for dominion,
they gradually absorbed one little state after another, and ag
fdnereased in power until, having ousted all their rivals, they
became the ruling power in the land. As the power of the
British increased the native rulers of the small Hindu and |
; Mahommedan States came to depend entirely upon the British and
the whole country was split up into small divisions subject to :
| their authority. Thus the whole Continent from the Himalayas
in the North to Cape Comorin in the South was split up into 3
various Kingdoms, such as the Punjab, Bengal, Sind, Rajputena,
the Deccan, the Carnatic, Mysore, Kankan, Mahratta, Travancore,
Tanjore, and many others, some of which were under the entire
control of the British, and other feudatory States. When we |
turn to religious history we find that the condition of the a
common people under the regime of the self-seeking Brahman |
priesthood was similar to that of the common people of Europe
under Papal rule. India was in a condition of spiritual
destitution. Her people were held in the grip of the caste |
system, whioh effectively prevents all co-operative effort. :
Many of the best qualities of their nature were debased by the
idol worship to which they were addicted, and they lived in ae
constant fear of the deities, who were represented by hideous a
images. Some were so far neglectful of the ordinary principles
of right conduct that they gave themselves up to the revolting ei



| 9
practices of Sakti worship. The Vedas, the Upanishads, and the
Dharma Shastras were never taught to the people and education was
withheld from them, and as a consequence not only were they in
their ignorance unable to discern what was good in the teaching,
but even those who were educated were entirely heedless of its ,
demands. Not realising that women have an equal share with men
in the welfare of the country, they disdained them, kept them in
an inferior position, and entirely withheld education from them.
The superstitution of the people was almost incredible. Their
sacrifices, offerings, and practices were such as to cause sorrow
and fear to all right thinking people. The fearful practices of
throwing infants into the Ganes, offering children to Kali, and :
burning the widow on the pyre of her husbandm were widespread
throughout the country. Of the total population, Mahommedans, 3
who are worshippers of one God, numbered some 60 millions,

50 millions of others were Untouchable Outeastes and unconnected —
with any recognised religion, whilst the remaining 160 or 190
millions greaned beneath the yoke of Hinduism. a

The influences which in the first century prepared the
way for the spread of the Gospel in the Roman Empire were Greek

| philosophy and culture, together with the knowledge of Monotheism —
brought by the Jews to the people in all parts in which they then-

selves were scattered. Similarly the Mahommedans, who are aiso
Monotheists, may be said to have prepared the way of the Lord in
India, but God reserved it for the British to fulfil His Will in
| this land, and by placing the people in their care, removed :
obstacles to the progress of the Gospel.

| The inhabitants of the British Isles in those days knew

. no more about India than Indians of the present day know about =
Patagonia. Nowadays, owing to the inaccessibility of Tibet it |
is a matter of great difficulty for us to ascertain much about a
the general conditions of its people, and in those days the same

| was true of India. Yet as we have already seen such men as
Dr David Bogue, William Carey, and Charles Grant, and official of
the Bast India Company, spared no pains in the endeavour to send —
the coupe? of Jesus Christ to the people of India. But, it may
be asked, did India know nothing of Christianity before the | |
edvent of the British power? Yes, long ages ago there were :
Christians on the coast of Malabar. They received their teaching,
it is said, from one of the twelve apostles, Saint Thomas, who es
penetrated as far as Madras, and was there martyred, giving his
name to St Thomas's Mount. The present Syrian Church in Malabar
Claims him es its founder. But even though we regard this as x
mere tradition, it is certain that in 180 A.D. Pontinus, a learned
man of Alexandria, came to India and found some Christians there,

| and reports in his book that he also discovered a copy of the |

; of



10 re
Gospel of Matthew in Hebrew, and among the Bishops who attended
the great Council of Nicea in 525 there was one, John, who came
| from India. But it appears thet in the year 545 a Bishop called
Thomas, accompanied by many followers, came to India from Edessa
in Parthia. Further in 525 the traveller, Cosmas Indicopleustes,
who regarded the whole world as one great tent, reached India, |
and in the report of his travels says that he found Christian
Churches on the Malabar coast and in Ceylon. Thus we have un-
doubted proof of the existence of Christians in India since the
: early ages. We all know that as time went on close relation- 3
ships were established between the Chureh in Antioch of Syria and
the Church in Malabar, and that to-day Bishop Abraham is the head
of a self-governing Christian community numbering some 190,000,
and known as the Syrian Chureh, but until comparatively recentiy —
this Church slept the sleep of indifference, regardless of its
great responsibility. |
In the 15th Century Vasco de Gama, having discovered |
America, found a route to India by way of the Cape, and from that
point on, Yesterners began to come to this land. After the
Portuguese had found their way to India they seized small terri-
tories here and there, and in due course that renowned saint,
Francis Xavier, same to India in the 16th Century, travelled over
| a wide territory, did great service for Christ, and established
the Roman Catholic faith in this country. Large numbers of the
Syrian Christiana also joined the Catholic Church, and thus it is —
that at the present day the majority of Syrian Christians are ;
connected with the Church of Rome. The Danea came in the wake |
of the Portuguese. As they were partners with the East India ‘ae
Company, Frederick, the King of Denmark, at the beginning of the
18th century, at the instigation of Dr Lutkens, formed a Mission- —
ary Society and gave permission to send missionaries to India. :
AS a consequence two German missionaries, 4aliegenbalg and Plutschau,
ef the Lutheran Church were sent out, and began work in Tranquebar,
| which they made their heedquarters. The sufferings which these /
two men underwent, and the opposition they met with from the A
Catholies are beyond all telling, but in the year 1710 the S.P.C.K.
| game to their aid. These two devoted workers learned Tamil, i
| and translated the Bible into it, obtaining a printing press i
from friends in London, they published on behalf of the S.P.C.Ke
| one after another of the Gospels in Tamil, and set about the
| Gistribution of Seripture portions. John Ernest Grundler who 25
Game as a reinforcement, acquired a great knowledge of Tamil, |
| and rendered them splendid help. George I of England, hearing —
ofrom Zeigenbale and Grundler of the success of their efforts,
and greatiy rejoicing in what they had accomplished, assured Be
4 them of his support, gave them promises of help, and sent them -
z forth with his blessing, sending them a letter of encouragement, :



il .
and promising to make provision for their needs. A few years
after this the illustrious Ziegenbale, the first Protestant
missionary, entered into his rest, and as the Israelites mourned
for the loss of their leaders, so the Christians in franquebar,
where Protestant Christianity was first planted in India, and
the members of other Churches, mourned the death of this faith-
ful servant of God. His fellow-worker, overcome by grief,
became enfeebled in body and sitting in the place of prayer, gave
vent to his grief in floods of tears. Subsequently Sehultze and
Schwartz arrived and entered upon their work with an enthusiasm
which was undaunted in the face of numerous difficulties. ve
must not forget that the Danes were the first to establish Protes-
tant Christianity in India, that they belonged to the Lutheran 7
Church, and that the first place in which a Church was founded was
Tranquebar. Another important fact is that in 1775 they not only —
epened up work in Negapatem, Trinehinopoly, Madras, Cuddalore, and
other places, but also sent workers to Calcutta, and in this dis-
trict they had 143 missionaries, over 50 Indian workers and large
numbers of village churches, and in that year they received 900
persons into Christian fellowship. |
In the beginning the Danish missionaries suffered untold
hardships at the hands of the East India Company, the Roman Catho-
lies, and Indians generally. We shall see as we go on that the
East India Company did their very best to prevent the entrance of
Christian missionaries into Hindustan.
As we have already seen, William Carey, who Game as @
missionary of the Baptist Missionary Society, although himself an
Englishman, was unable to go to India on an English boat. The :
East India Company refused to give him a passage, and sc, in 1795, |
he went to Denmark and came to India on a Danish boat. He landed —
in Calcutta and stayed there for some time, but as he looked in
vain for any support for his work from the English, he went to a
Serampore, 25 miles distant from Celcutta, and belonging to the
Danes, and made that his headquarters and began his work. It ‘
Gannot but cause us sorrow to reflect that, although the British
themselves were Christians, they acted in this way towards those 3
who were sent as missionaries. Just as our Lord Jesus Christ :
came first to His own people and was rejected by them so in India —
also, God brought His Will to pass by other means, since it was g
His purpose to magnify His name in this land. :
Five years after the Baptist Society had begun work in
: India, the London Missionary Society sent out Rev. Nathaniel oe
Forsyth to Caloutta. In those days the only route to India was
round the Cape, and the voyage was a difficult and dangerous one, ©
and took five months to accomplish. Because he met with no
encouragement from the English in Calcutta, he went to Chinsurah,
29 miles from Calcutta, made his headquarters there, and with the —



i2
help of the Duteh, began his work. Caring nothing for himeelf,
he relieved the Society of all financial burden, and, submitting
himself entirely to the will of God, carried on a most admirable ;
work. We know little about his work, but he was the first e
missionary of our Society to come to India, and rendered most
valuable service for 18 years until his death in 1816.
3 From the time that Rev. Nathaniel Forsyth was sent to
Worth India until 1804, although the Directors of our Society had
: resolved to send more workers end made efforts to find them, the
needed re-inforcenents were not forthcoming, but in that year they
were able to send out Rev. Me. ©. Yos, who had been a minister in
Holland, and for many years in South Africa, and the Rev. ¥. T.
Ringeltaube, a native of Prussia, who had already been a mission-~
ary in India in the service of the S.P.C.K., and the Revds. J. P.
Ehrhardt, J. D. Palm, Augustus des Grange, and George Cran, who
rad received their training in the Missionary college at Gosport.
They were commissioned to preach the gospel and carry on mission-
ary operations in India and Ceylon. But although the Directors
thought first of sending their missionaries to Ceylon, so that,
establishing themselves there, they might afterwards choose their
different spheres of work, and for that resson gave them a letter
of introduction from the British Foreien Secretary to the Governor
of Ceylon, Mr Fredrick North, - yet on second thoughts they decided
to send them all to Tranquebar, that they might gather information
from the Danish missionaries there, and make arrangements for
their subsequent Location. But, as we have already seen, the East
India Company refused toe grant passages in their boats, and for
this reason they proceeded to Copenhagen and took passages on a ;
boat going from thence to Tranguebar, and on the 20th April 13804 :
these five embarked, reaching Tranguebar on 5th December. When |
they had spent some time in Tranquebar and gained the information
they sought, the Revds. M. GC. Vos, J. P. Ehrhardt, and J. B. Palm,
went back to Ceylon; Kev. W. fT. Ringeltaube proceeded to Travan-
core, and the Revds. George Cran and Augustus des Grange set out
for Vizgagapatam where they made their headquarters. A short time
after these missionaries had proceeded to the field the Directors —
resolved to open up work in Madras and Surat, and appointed the .
Rev. W. C. Loveless and Dr John Taylor, who, leaving England on
15th December 1804, arrived in Madras 4th June 1805. Z

The people of the West consider that Italian is
the most musical of ell the European languages, and when
the Western nations had taken possession of these Eastern
lands and become acquainted with their languages, they marked
their appreciation of the beauty of Telucu by styling our ae
mother tongue “the Italian of the Hest". Telugu is spoken |
by 20 miliijons. The Telugus occupy the country bordering
on the Bay of Bengal from Orissa to Medras, and inland from
Masulipatan to Chittoor, an area approaching some 200,000
sguare wiles in extent.

Men who by neture ere good and godfearing, become
debased by idol worship and superstitious rites, and the
inexorable demands of caste.

The Telugu country came into the possession of the
British in 1602. Our parent Society was first to realise
their responsibility for the spiritual welfare of the many
millions inhabiting this great territory and in discharge of
that responsibility began work with VYisagaocatam as their |

evangelistic centre. The Revds. des Grange and Cran began a
work with great zeal among the British officers stationed |
there, and set themselves to acquire a knowledge of Telugu.

There was @ Telugu Brahman celled Subberayadu who wae in the
employ of Tippe Sultan as an accountant and after he died he
entered the service of e European in the same capacity, but
later, having no peace of mind, he wandered from place to
place in search of salvation, and finally, as he approached

his native place he fell in with a roman Catholic priest who
gave him two religious books, which he studied with great
avidity, and as the result of his study he was shortly

afterwards baptized in the name of Anandarayadu. This man a
suffered a great deal at the first. After his baptism he

went to Pondicherry, and as he became more fully acquainted

with the ritualistic practices of the Roman Catholics, he :
lost all faith in them. While he was thus in deep trouble pe
his family joined hin. Subsequently he heard of the mission- —
aries in Tranquebar and of their tenching and decided to visit
them. At first they were douhtful concerning him, but were —
reassured upon ascertaining the truth of his stery. Enter- a
ing upon missionary service he began to-.translate the Tamil ,
Bible into his own mother tongue. But the missionaries in ae

franquebar, thinking that he would be of great service to |
their fellow-workers in Vizagapatam, sent him to that place. |
Arrived at that place Aneandarayadu greatly helped Mesars.
dea Grange and Cran in the acquisition of Telugu, aided
them in the translation of the Bible, and became an enthusi-
astic worker in the mission. The missionaries in Vizaga- :
patam regarded him as a God-sent helper, By his aid Mr des
Grange was able to transiate the New Testament from the
Gospel of Matthew to the Epistle to the Gorinthians and they
sent Anandaravadu to the printing press at Serampore, where
the first three Gospels were printed and published. But as :
the kite swoops down upon the bird in full flight, so these
two 2@alous servants of the Kingdom were calied upon to make
the supreme sacrifice in the service of their Master after
only five years of faithful and devoted service. George Cran
died in 1809 and Augustus des Grange in 1810. ‘The vacant
places were filled by Rev. John Gordon, Rev. William Lee,
and Rev. Hdward Pritchett. Me Gordon and Mr Pritchett under- :
took the transiation of the New Testament separately, and iM
Pritehett's translation was accepted by the Bible Society in
Wadres in 1818, and was printed and published under the
direction of Mr Fritehett himseif. Subsequently the whole
of the 01d Testament was transleted by the Vizagapatam ae
missionaries, and published. The missionaries at Serampore |
rendered great help in the translating and printing of the
Telugu Bible, and greatly to the joy of sli Telugu Christians
it must be remembered that. the first to translate, print, and
publish our Telugu Bible were the missionaries at Vizagapatam.
| 7 The parent Society, having placed missionaries in
Vizagapatam and Travancore, were greatly concerned for the ;
welfare of the countries lying between these places, and
| therefore decided to constitute Seringapatam a headquarter
| station, and sent out the Rev. John Hands, who had been e
trained in Dr David Bogue'’s seminary at Gosport. Sailing
| in 1809 he arrived at Madras in February 1610, but proceeding
to Seringapatam he found conditions so unfavourable that he
| resolved to make his headquarters in Bellary, and after very ?
Gonsiderable difficulty he obtained leave from the Government, ,
and in 1810 established himself in that place. Bellary and a
Cuddapsh were regarded as most important towns in the kingdom ia
of Vigianagaram, and when the British took possession these eS
| were handed over to them and became military stations. Both ;
. Kanarese and Telugu are spoken in Bellary, and there Mr Hands :
| learned both languages, but he was more proficient in Kanarese :
and in a very short time was able to preach acceptably in that

Language. On the arrival of the Rev. W. Reeve and the Kev. |
B. He Paine, Mr Hends was able to devote himself to the trans-

, lation of the Kanaresé Bible, to work among the European troops
in Bellary, and to the preaching of the Gospel te the native
population in Kenarese and Telugu. Owing toe the presence of
the military in Cuddapah there were a great many Europeans

| stationed there, and iy Hands determined to visit Cuddapah to
preach the Gospel to them, and both as he came and as he
returned he diG evangelistic work along the route. Mr Hands
visited Cuddapah frequentiy and formed friendships with the
Europeans living there, who urged that a missionary should be
sent to make his headquarters in that town. He had been
ereatiy helped in the supervision of the school by an Rurasian,
My William Howell, a man of high integrity, and a retired
Government servant, and he, with the approval of the Directors,
was appointed the first missionary in Cuddapah in December 1522.
Thus Bellary mey claim te be the mother of the Telugu mission
in the Cuddapah district.

CUDDAPAH MISSION. 1822 ~ 1868.

GHAPTERS III & IV. 1
We have already seen that the Rev. John Hands
frequently visited Cuddapah and at the urgent request of the
Europeans of that Station, among whom he had carried on
evangelistic work, that there should be a resident missionary .
in Cuddapah, the Directors approved of the appointment of |
Mr.William Howell, who thus became the first resident
Cuddapah missionary. He arrived in December 1882 and opened
| up work at Cuddapah, which thus became the fifth district of 1
the Society's operations, and the oldest of our Telugu Stations,
with the exception of Vigzagapatam. At this time Cuddapah was
not only a military station, but it was the chief town of the
district, with a papulation of nearly 60 thousand people, and a
therefore very suitable for the headquarters of a missionary.
Mr»Howell was a man of remarkable zeal and devotion, and
from the time he took up his residence in Cuddapah he gained
. the goodwill of the Europeans, among whom, as among the Indian 3
population, he laboured with great enthusiasm. Not only had :
Mr.Howell a good mastery. of Telugu but he was also somewhat :
acquainted with Sanscrit, and was accustomed to discuss 2a
| religious subjects with those who came to visit him. He 3
gathered together the families of those who had come from
distant places in the service of Europeans and conducted
Sunday services for them, and generally ministered to their
spiritual needs. At this time Judge Waters was transferred
from Chittoor, and appointed Judge at Cuddapah. Although he :
was in Government service he was keenly interested in Christian i
work, and on his transfer to Cuddapah he brought with him a
few Christian families who had been under his protection.
Judge Waters became acquainted with vieigent, ta discussed with
him his plans for Mission work, ‘handed over“his charge those i
| whom he had brought with him, and placed a house at his disposal f
. making 1t available for public worship and other purposes. :
| Mr.Howell, recognizing the Divine Hand in all this, praised f
) God and took courage. The European officials generally held ;
| him in high esteem, and gave him help in many directions, so ;
that he was encouraged to hope that, by the blessing of God, :
his work might be crowned With success. At that time ae
unordained ministers were held in no high esteem either in this se
j country or by the Directors. Our own people are specially | 3
| reverential towards religious dignitaries, and therefore have a
. comparatively small respect for those who are unordained, and 4
. ihropean missionaries themselves have not been willing to give ,
equal place to such persons. Moreover only the Stations :
. occupied by ordained missionaries were considered-as Headquarters -
and hence Mr.Howell, who up to this time had not received oa



i : : 2 Ne re eR a ee ME Re TES TSE) Sie ae Te eC ROE ep
x7
ordination, folt it necessary to do so. Thus in 1884 he
was ordained in Davidson Street Church, Black Town, Madras,
the first Ghurch built by the London Missionary Soclety in
Scuth India, and after his ordination returned to Cuddapah. |
After his ordination Mr.Howell was not only regarded with
greater respect by the people but he himself celebrated the
sacraments, Whilst some of those who had been accustomed to
visit him as enquirers, but still halted between two opinions
now expressed their desire to abandon idolatry and make public
profession of their faith. It is true there were large numbers |
who were merely Resmmzk nominal Christians, yet out of them some
3 10 became communicants, and the Church in the Station of |
Cuddapah took its rise from that time. Mr.Howell not only ae
carried on good wrk among the Europeans and gave able guidance
to the native Church, but zealously engaged in the preaching |
of the Gospel in Cuddapah and the surrounding villages. In |
these circumstances the Christians began to feel that there was |
great need for a Church building, and for this purpose they set
about raising funds in Cuddapahh and the larger towns of the
Presidency, with the result that in 1824 they were able to
undertake the building of a Church. A Communion cup, given |
by dudge Waters at that time for the use of the Chureh, is still
preserved. The Church in Cuddapah was the first built in the
Telugu country. In addition to this Mr.sHowell took a deep
interest in the Christians, collected money and bought land,
and built houses which were called the Ghristian Lines, and
in which some 150 people were accommodated. He also opened
a School for the Christian children. Of the buildings thus
eppected only the Church remains, although the foundations of
the rest can still be seen in the Church compound,
Wishful that those for whom he was responsible should
not live dilatory lives but be usefully employed, Mr.Howell
acouired land for them, and established a village which he =.-
named Bethany, where he planted a large orchard containing
trees of many different sorts» This village was in existence
until 1867 but after that the people deserted it and it fell
into rains. For those who were ignorant of agriculture he
formulated a scheme for a paper factory and rented a house for
that purpose. Further he encouraged a few of his people to
engage in petty trades, regarding it as his chief responsibility
to place his people in a position of independence, and enable
them to Zearn their living. Whilst he was thus striving to |
forward their interests in every way some of the Christians
living in this village became entirely worddly and disreputable
in their conduct. It was very evident that some of them were
nere "rice" Christians, and many others had joined the Mission
for the help they could get. Mr, Howell tried to bring them to
| a better state of mind, sorrowfully remonstrbting with them, and
sought by every moans that love could suggest to help them -to
reform, but as some of them resisted all entreaties, it finally § |



| 18

| became neceasary to evict them from the houses. While he
deeply grieved at the opposition of Hindus to the progress of

| the Gospel and at the porsecution which those who accepted it
were called upon to undergo, his distress was even greater as |
he realized that the greatest obstacle in the path of the
advance of the Gospel was the unworthy lives of the Christians,
for whom he lamented as did Jonah over Nineveh. And yet he
had cause to rejoice over some who were faithful to their

| baptismal vow, and showed deep and@rnest desire to live good

. and upright lfves. He did not confine his work to
headquarters but appointed numbers of workers to go from place
to place distributing Scripture portions and Handbills whilst
he himself, with his Indian helpers, made long preaching tours |
in the surrounding districts. He toured @ good deal of the |

) Pulivendia Taluq, where some Sudras at Cherlopalle acquainted |

) him with their desire to embrace the faith, and preferred a |

) ' pequest for a sbhool,. Mrellowell acceded to their request, gave |

| them a school, and formed there the first village congregation.
Subsequently some of these Sudras were baptized on profession
of faiths Anong these was Venkata Reddi who in 1838 became

| a member of the headquarters Church in Cuddapah, and proved hin-

) self a most zealous and effective evangelist. There was also
Veerappa, & Brahman convert, who renounced Hinduism and received —
beptilem in 1851. The theme of his preaching was that
Christianity is the only true religion, and that Christ is
the only Saviour of mankind, and in evidence of his belief

he renounced caste and family, and devoted himself to the
work of the Kingdom, Tradition says that hts fellow castemen
became greatly enraged at his renunciation of his ancestral
faith, and caste, and that thoy hired "certain fellows of the

| baser sort" who set upon him as he was going out to preach
and murdered him near Mutyalacheruvu to the east of: Cuddapah, but
forthis statement _ is bur only authority. Mr.Howell
speaks of one belonging to the Sudra caste, by the name of :
Sarepuli Venkappa, who belonged to the $4th Regiment, in which e
he held the rank of Naik. Having learned something of |
Christianity, and read a little for himself he renounced
Hinduism, and became an enthusiastic Christian, by whose

influence and exertions nine other Sudras were won for the
faith,

The extension of the British Raj over the whole of :
eouth India, and the surrender of Hindu Rajahs and Mahommedan
Nawabs, so incited the Mahommedans, that they laid schemes a
for the overthrow of the British Raj, and to that end | a
fomented trouble in many places, and were themselves | |
actively seditious. in 1832 on the 15th July, whilst the
Moharunm Festival was in progress in OCuddapah, a Mahemmedan, ?
instigated by two Hindus, and thinking that the Mahommedans ;
assembled there would immediately fall upon the British and
Christians, killed a pig and placed it in the Juma Mugjid >

in the very centre of the town. in the morning, when the
Mahommedans hearing of the discovery of this vile beast,
were all greatly enraged, somo evilly disposed person,
following the example of thoss who, Wishing to destroy the )
Christians in the Roman Empire aroused the suspicions of |
Nero against them, hinted that lir.Howell was the cause of
this mischief». immediately the Mahommedans were thrown
into a great furor and a general assembly of the faithful
| was summoned by the beating of the war drum. ir sicDonald,
| the subecollector, who was at that time in the Government
Offices, hearing of what was occurring sent a letter to the :
Gollector, who was in the vicinity, acquainting him with the .
situation, and suggesting that the military be called in. |
Meanwhile Mr,Howell, hearing that the enraged Mahommedans |
had started out in @ great crowd towards his bungalow,
gent & message to the sub-collector, ir.~McDonald, who was héld |
in the highest respect by all, contrary to the entreaties of |
those about him, believing that his influence would enable him
to quell the disturbance, started out unarmed, and met the
crowd on the waye His endeavours to quiet them met with no
success however, and while he was seeking to advise them they 7
| fell upon him and hacked him to pieces. This terrible news,
X when brought to Mrs.lMcRonala@, who was then only 20 years of
age,had but recently been married, produced such an effect
X upon her, that within 21 days she died of a broken heart and
was buried beside her husband in the Cemetery on the
Siddavatam Road. Not satisfied with this terrible crime,
the rioters were proceeding towards Mr.Howell's bungalow
when, by the grace of God, they heard the sound of the
approaching troop of military, and whilst they paused to °
listen the troops came up with them and trained their muskets
on them, and the crowd immediately dissolved. Five of the
ringleaders of this disturbance were hanged on the spot where
the Police Station is now located. Many were sentenced to
hard labour, and others were heavily fined, What @
mereiful deliverance fer Urs«kowell and his family and the
Christians! Had the crowd fallen ppon this defenceless
flock they would have mercilessly destroyed them. But Almighty
God, the Just Judge of all, brings to naught the counsels of
those who would destroy His peaple and delivers them from the
hand of their enemies.
oe The Charter @ranted to the East India Company, which
had been founded in 1600, was liable to revision every 20 years,
and when in due course the Charter came up for revision in
1793 William Wilberforce and his colleagues, who had done so
much for the abolitionnof slavery in the Empire, and who had |
heard of the obstacles placed by the Gompany in the way of a
the spready of the Gospel, took action, and insisted that the
new Charter should recognize the necessity for the removal of
those obstacles. They gained their point im Parliament, but



Se : PREaee ? ra Bears ee ST ST I EE TE ete semiei reas ta NG ates .
20
the difficulties raised by the Gompany in India underwent no
abatement « Consequently at the next revision of the Charter
in 1813 Parliament enacted that not only British missionaries,
put missionaries of all nationalities, should be admitted to
India without let or hindrance, and thus we see at the present
day missionaries of all Societies and nationalities at work
in this land.
Although Mr.Howell was the resident missionary in
Cuddapah Mr.Hands of Bellary constantly visited the place,
and spent some time during the cold weather in evangelistic !
tours in the district. On other occasions he went alone with
a few of his evangelists, selling books, establishing schools |
| in these and other villages touring around throughout the |
| district, and sowing the seed of the Gospel. |
Up to the year 1865 the Rallway line had not reached
Cuddapah, and therefore those who wished to go to Madras had
to go by way of Rayachoti, Gurramkonda, Vayalpad, Madanapalle,
| Ponganur, Palmaner, and Chittoor, and on his journeys to and
. fro Mr,Howell carried the Gospel to those places. in 1887
| Chittoor became one of the London Mission Stations and the
Rev. Robert Jennings, Reved.i.s Nimmo and Rev.John Bilderback
carried on the work there, but afterwards Dr.Scudder of the
American Arcot Mission made Chittoor his headquarters.
in 18368 Rev.William Dawson, the. son of Rev.dJames Dawson
of Vizgagapatam was sent to Cuddapah as a helper to Ur,Howell,
but his health proving unsatisfactory, he left Cuddapah and |
4 joined his father at Vizagapatam and there did most excellent
| work and gained a great reputation as a writer of Telugu hymns.
His departure from Cuddapah was a great loss to the South
Telugu field.
About this time there was a man from the Malapaste,
belonging to Rudavaram in the Sirvel Taluq, who was
imprisoned in the Cuddapsah Jail for some crime. He was
oe constantly visited by MrsHowell, became acquainted with the
| Gospels, accepted Christ as his Saviour, and, going back to
» his own village, published the truth he had learned, among
his ovn people and thelr neighbours. We shall see further
on that the Malas in that district, hearing about him, desired
| to be acquainted with the truth he had learned and that |
| within a few years after that they embraced Christianity in
| ever increasing numbers.
In 1840 the Rev.Edward Porter of Vizagapatam and the
Rev. Robert Caldwell of Madras visited Cuddapah and were greatly
rejoiced by all they saw. Mr.Porter has left on record that
_ho was attracted by mkx Cuddapah from his first visit.



3 pL
Subsequently Mr.Porter and Mr.Caldwell returned to their |
respective areas, and & few years afterwards Mr,Caldwell |
left the service of the Mission, entered the Anglican |
Church, in which he became a Bishop, and in which for |
40 years ho carried on most strenuous work, |
|
Mr,Howell continued to occupy Cuddapah as his | |
headquarters until 1642 and for 20 years he sowed theyfseedf |
of the Gospel everywhere throughout the District, and
about 100 people embraced Christianity through his preaching, |
put his views on Church Government did not commend themselves
to the Soclety, and. he lefty the Lsl.Ss in 1842 and joined |
the 6.P.G. Soon after hé“joined them he was re-ordained |
| and appointed to Mayavaram, and in 1856 he took pension, |
| living in Madras ti11 his death in 1867. When Mr.Howell
| severed his connection with Cuddapah some of the Indian |
| Christians, among whom were Basil and Alfred Wood, Joshua, |
Bligabeth, Murahari Rao, Vine, Bunyan, Rufus, Neal, Watts,
| Agrippa, Mukanti, Venkatappa, and others, in all about 46,
| formed a separate Anglican community On thelr account a
oe Rev.W.W. Whitford was sent from Poonamalee, and he remained
| about 7 years in charge of this congregation. Looking at |
what it pleased the Lord to accomplish through the |
| instrumentality of Rev.William Howell in the early stages |
| of the Mission, we must acknowledge that he was worthy of a
| the service of Christ, of the gratitude of the people of the
District, and of the blessing of God.
.
! The parent Seclety found it impossible on the removal os
: of Mr,Howell to send a substitute for him, and for two years
the work of the entire District was in the hands of an :
| Indian Catechist. At frequent intervals missionaries came oo
| from Bellary and from Madras to supervise the work, Among
these were ReveR.D, Johnson, and Rev.J.W.Gordon, a missionary
| at Vizagspatylan.
| Rev-Edward Porter was at this time recruiting his
| health on the Nilgiris, and on his journey back to a
Vigagapatam, he, in company with Rev.John Smith of Madras,
came to Cuddapah in the month of January 1846 and spent three :
weeks there, This was Mr.Porter's second visit to Cuddanpah,
and, perceiving how the work was progressing there, and noting |
| the condition of the Church, and the great desire of the !
| people for the Gospel, he felt convinced that big developgments |
. would take place, and greatly disheartened at the long barren ae
| years in Vizagapatfam, he returned with a heavy heart to his
| sphere of labour. At this time the Society sent Reved.Smith an
| and Reve M.Winslow as a Deputation to Vizagapatfiam to report Oo
. upon the work there. Theyvarrived in April and were greatly |
. rejoiced at the progress which their enquiry revealed. ad

Moreovet on April 15th Messra.R.D.Johnson and William
Dawson, who for some time had been assistant ministers,
wero ordained as missionaries in full charge, and at this (1644) |
time Mr.Porter was traneferred to Cuddapah, which had been
without a resident missionary for a considerable time.
He therefore left Vizagapatyiam, sent his wife and children
home, and in the absence of a railway, came down to Narasapuram
in a palanquin and spent some time with the Rev.Beore, ‘then
. went on to Madras, where he visited his elder brother, |
| ReveWillilam Porter, and on 6th March 19844 he reached Cuddapah
' travelling by palaguin via Vayalpad. Even till to-day i
Mr.Porter’s name is held in high respect throughout the
Tolugu districts, and it is therefore necessary 'to relate
something of his history. \
| He was born on the 19th duly 1810 at Sherbornein the |
county of Dorset of godly parents, who made it their’ ghief
endeavour to train their children for Christ, but \wher |
Edward was 18 years of age his parents died. He Was passed
! over to the care of friends, and was sent by them to learn
: some business in London. There, whilst learning his trade
he became a member at Stepney Meeting, and being a young man |
of exceptionally good character, and regular in his attendance
at Church, he gained the respect of the Pastor, Revedosenh *
. Fletcher, who gave him opportunities of work in the Sunday
) Sohoel and other spheres lupressed by the need of foreign « .
p jands, he determined that he himself would become a messenger = |
of the gospel of Jesus Christ, to distant peoples. Wher he a
spoke to the Rev.dJoOseph Fletcher about the matter, he, knowing
his special gifts and his great desire, recommended him
. heartily to the London Missionary Society, and they; accepting |
| him ac @ missionary to distant lands, sent him to the Homerton 3
Lheological College for four years training. At the close of
his tralning he married Martha Kilpin, who was a member of the |
| Bunyan meeting, Bedford. She was also anxious to devote
| her life to the preaching of the Gospel in diatant lands
and it was evidently according to the will of God that these oa
| two should be united in the work. He was ordained by the
Society in the month of May,1835, at Bond Street Church, vd
| Leicester. Among those who took part in his ordination |
: service was John Williams, the missionary, to the South Seas a
and the martyr of Erromanga. He, noting Mr.Porter's appearance
and his very evident desire, spoke words of good cheer and |
advice to them both, Withing’a few days of his ordination 4
the Board decided to send him to Vizagapatam, and on the 6th .
of May 1836 he embarked in company with Rev.Colin Campbell, a
who was designated to Bangalore. He arrived in Madras in a
| the month of September, and, after sponding a few days ther@g, a
reached Vizagapatam in November, and immediately took up the a
work of evangelization in co-operation with Reved.Ws Gordon, a



| ao
who had preceded him by six months. They soon learned
Telugu, and attained considerable influence among both
Europeans and Indians, MraPorter was an earnest preacher,
and indefatigable in evangelistic touring. He soon
established himself upon terms of intimacy with others, and
was able to collect enough money to build a Church capable
of seating 300 people, He was an enthuslastic promoter of
schools for Hindu girls, and in 18356 established a Girls!
Orphanage « in those days our ancestors considered that
giris should not be educated and therefore people refused
to send their daughters to school, but in the course of three f
or four years there were nearly 60 girle in the school, and
all the expenses connected with the school were collected in
the place itself. His great devotilk attracted many, and :
was the means of bringing them into fellowship with God. !
Moreover, he was aman of prayer, and as we shall further |
see he regarded every blessing received as a direct yi hag to
prayers For instance on one occasion he was without, money
necessary to pay gm the Rirskxtayxe stipends of his workers,
whom he was accustomed to pay on the first day of the months
| Moreover it was his practice on that day to purchase all |
| that was nesded for the Girl’ s school.. On the last day
of the month he had not a penny in hend. Husband and
wife thought long and anxiously, and wondered how they were
| to provide for the morrow, but this man of faith shut: \ |
| himself up in his room and made his wants Imown to God in
| sarnoest prayer. His wife called him to his meals, but he
would not abandon his guest until he had obtained an answor, *
and in response to his prayer he was instructed to "Watch and
. believe", The last day of the month passed, and the first !
- day of the month came, and the people were gathered to him on
| and once again he sought unté his God. Tho message came |
again, “Watch and believe". But the day was not yet done,
and as he came out from his devotions the postman brought ;
| him a letter. it bore the postmark of Hongkong, and opening
) the cover he found a remittance for Rs.300 for work among ts 4
orphan girls, sent by one who had read of his work in the
Missionary Magazine. Husband and wife were greatly rejolced
| and at the close of the day's work expressed their fervent
| gratitude to God in hymn and prayer. |
| Evangelistic touring was his great delight, and he |
: visited the neighbourhood of Kummadi and was greatly interested |
| in the people there and in the scenery of the district, and
| keenly desired that the people of that neighbourhoo# should |
be brought to the knowledge of Christ. As the fruit of hie —@
toil a man named Tummayya of Palakonda embraced Christianity.
| A Brahman, also, named Kamayya renouneed his caste and his :
religion, and regardless of persecution came to Vizagepatvam |
and was baptized with his family. Mr.sPortoer was so encouraged |
that he undertook a tour in the neighbourhood of Srikakalun. | d



24,
Whilst they were touring in that neighbourhood, on the advice
of Rev.d.Dawson, he visited Chowdari Purushottam, became &
intimate with him, and was greatly delighted with his manner
of life and his intense devotion. The Rev.?P,Jaganadram
and his wife also received their education in Schools which
he had established.
In response to his appeal, some of his friends in
England sent him a printing press, which he placed in the

and other matter to the oxtent of somge thuusands a month.
Thue he laboured day and night, enduring hardship for the
sake of desus Christ. after he had rendered exemplary
service for nine years he heard of the retirement of Rev.
William Howell, which left Cuddapah without a missionary,
and as we have already seen the Directors acceded to his
request and transfermed him as permanent missionary to
Cuddapah.
Although it was a great grief to him to leave his
work in Vizgagapatam and commence work in a new place, yet,
since he had already twice visited Cuddapah and become to
some extont aware of the problems of the work, he recognized
this as God’s will for him, and leaving Vizagapatam came
| to Cuddapah. On reaching Cuddapah, “Ur.Porter set himself
to undertbtand the requirements of the work and drew up
. necessary plans for carrying it on. He visited the Schools ,
| already established, made a Hurasian, of the name of
Brambelby, Head Master, opened new schools and outstations, :
. placed catechists and teachers in training and began regular
| pvangelistic work. On the first Sunday in Cuddapah he )
preached from John G. 20.31. "These are written that ye
| might believe”, to a congregation of about 100 people, who
listened with the closest attention. After the service he |
| distributed books to many non-Christians who came for them, |
| and brought home the truth of the Gospel to many of these
| present « He visited the Cantonment, in company with the :
| Catechist, Arulanandam, and distributed a great number of |
| books to the sepoys, and to their officers. The officers
| became greatly interested in the work of the Missionary,
| and were very friendly towards him. There were six or
seven officers who regularly contributed, and between them
raised about Rs.60 a month for the work of the Gospel. ,
) These indications of friendliness were a source of great |
| encouragement to Mr.Porter. i
About this time, the Society, desiring to place a
Missionary in Madanapalle, commissioned Mr.Porter to visit |
that place and bulld a bungalow there, He travelled by way
of Vayalped, preaching as he wont. Arriving in Madanapalle q
On April 17th 1844 he stayed for some days with Mr,Austin, oe

who was then Collector, making efforts to obtain a

suitable site, but the Town Magistrate placed serious

obstacles in his way which greatly hindered him. However,

in the end he was able to secure a site. Whilet he was in

Noadanapalle the head of one of the Hindu religious sects was

in camp there, and Mr.Porter secured an interview with him,

in which he spoke of the truths of Christianity with special

reference to the incarnation of Christ. He also gained :
: information from the Gollector with regard to the general

condition of the people of the District, and was greatly

shocked to hear that suicide. was common. He resolved to

rive himself with unabated energy to the preaching of the

Gospel . A few desiening Brahmans arranged for a public

discussion wpon matters of religion with a view to
| counteracting Mir.Porter's influence, but in the end the

victory rested with him, ily.sPorter was accompanied by

Chitarl, ea, Gatechist who had himself been a Hindu, and so

wad Well aware of the defects of Hinduism and an able
advocate of the merits of Christianity, and confronted by
. his arguments his opponents were compelled to own themselves
defeated. After this he went on to Ponganur, where he
| arrived on May 87th. There was a man there called Paul,
| a convert from Islam, in the service of the Rajah, and
. _ Mr.Porter, getting into conversation with him, Was eroatly :
| delighted with his Christian zeal, and pressed him to
accompany him back to Guddapah. . This Paul consented to do,
| and leaving Ponganur on Sept. 7th came to Cuddapah, and thers
| took up work as a Gatechist among the Tamil Christians. 7
q Mr .Porter found his etock of Ghripture pontions/diminishing, - 4 A
and therefore came to Palmanur and sent from there a message :
. to Chittoor, where one of our missionaries then resided, :
| to obbain from him a fresh supply, which he distributed as

he returned, in company with his Catechists, by way of |
Vayaipad to Cuddapah,. Greatly desiring to visit Beejam
| Chenna Reddi whom he had baptized when he visited Cuddapah |
. on Jan.2nd 1845, he started out on Nov.eS5th 1844 on an
: evangelistic tour in the district of Gujala Cherlopalle in
| the Pulivendla Taluq. Mr.Porter and his helpers toured |
| among the villages preaching the Gospel, and in the course. of |
. their tour, visited Chenna Reddi, learned from him the |
| persecution he had had to endure for the sake of Christ, and
was delighted at his steadfastness. Whilst he was in

. Cherlopalle, staying in the house which had been put up as a a
. rest house for touring missionaries, he baptized two men =
| galled Ramadu and Subbanna. Leaving Cherlopalle he ¢
| continued his work among the villages, eventually returning 4

preparing some for baptism. Mr.Porter wac greatly
encouraged by @ll that had taken place in the previous year,
and set out upon the your 1845 with very high hopes.
He had sent his family home, and amid much loneliness ani
hardship, which he Willingly endured, he continued 'to carry |
on the works in comparison with Vizagapatam the climate
of Cuddapah is trying and unhealthy, being as it ls, an,
extremely hot place, and Mr.Porter constarkly suffered from |

| ili-health, yet he received great kindness at the hands of \

| his Luropean Priends at the Station. Still he was nok \

. without his share of sorrow, for the son of the Catechtaty,
Jolapatif, who, he was hoping, would enter the service \of\ the
Mission, took i]1 and died. Yet in spite of his grief, .
Mr.Porter devoted himself with increased energy to the work
of his schoéls, and was greatly delighted with the progress

| of the scholars, Subsequentiy, hearing that there were,
large numbers of people in the Proddatur Taluq who were’ |
interested in Christianity, he visited that neighbourhood;
and preached the Gospel with great enthusiasm. In March \
he started on another evangelistic tour through Rayachoti %
and Madanpalle, arriving eventually at Bangalore, where he |.
spent a fow days recuperating in the company of his fellows —
Missionaries, from whom he received much encouragement, - 3
and starting oub again he came, by way of Ponganur, to ie
Cuddapah,. Vnilst he was in Ponganur, the Rajah and his Ne.

| brother invited him to their palace, where they received him \& |
most cordially, and paid him great respect. The Rajah's ;
mother sent for Mr.Rorter and desired to hear the Gospel,
and he embraced the opportunity of explaining to her and to |
others who had gathered with her, the truth concerning Christ.

B Greatly refreshed by the kindness and liberality of the Rajah
lir.Porter proceeded to Madanapalle, where he stayed until July,
and then started out on an evangelistic tour through Rayachoti
and thence to Cuddapaha He remained some time in Cuddapah
superintending the work there, and making propar&tions for his

furlough, but wishing once more to visit his converts, he
started out in October on a tour to Cherlopalilse, and Was
greatly rejoiced to find them all prosperous. it was highly |

| necessary that he should take furlough, and therefore Reved.

Cuddapah. ir, Porter left Guddapah on March ®3rd 1846 on

furlough to Europe and rejoined his wife and family in England,

- wWhers he spent three years in the enjoyment of woell-sarned reste

But although he was on furiough he laboured continually for

India, goxing about among the Churches and spoaking to their

members of the epread of the Gospel, of the need of more eee

workers, and in collecting funds for the support of the work.

puilding up the Churches, supervising the schools in the 2

villages, and doing most excellent work in all parts of the

Migsion District, Itvwas in Mr,.Shrives' time that a

Polygar, Gulladurti Narasimha Reddi, gathered 4 mob and
went about the villages in the nelghbourhock of Koilakuntla,
| terrorizing the people and pillaging where he chose, but in
| 1846 he was taken by the British at Kollakuntla, and hanged.

ieft three of his children in England, and accompanied by :
| two othors, came to Madras in Dec.1848, where he stayed for )

a short time with his brother Rev. William Porter, During |
| tneis stay in Madras the elder of the two children they had |
| brought with them died of Typhoid, leaving his parents in |
| deep grief, Nevertheless they returned to Cuddapah, where |
| they arrived on Jan.30th 1849, fhe Orphanage for Giris, which
| Mr»Porter had established in 1846, had greatly developed under 1
| the care of Miss Shrieves, and had’ together 17 inmates. |
| Miss Shrféves returned with her father to Bellary, and
| Mrs.Porter took charge of the Orphanage and still further

Pa Mrs,Porter returned, She was active among the memea Hindu | |

| in making known to them the news of Christ. The people in |
| most of the villages which they visited had never before seen 4
| a European lady and therefore came in. crowds, and were |
| greatly interested in the children, Mrs,Porter was able to a

| them in the Gospel, They returned to Cuddapah, and in a |
| little while Mr,Porter set out for Cherlopalle, and learned
| from the Catechist stationed there of the welfare of the }
| poople, that those who had been formerly baptized were still 1
| standing firm, that 4 great many others were desiring to be t
| admitted as adherents, and that many were prayine in secret. Wl
| He was told of some who were enduring persecution. He |
admonished two applicants, Nagamma and Morramma, but deferred q
| their baptism for a short period, but Nagamma was so eager to il

be baptised that she followed him to Cuddapah and was baptized |
; theres Morramma, on the other hand, was subjected to gre&kt 1

But after a time lir, & Mrs, Davie retired to the Sheveroy Hillg, | at
yet frequently made tours in the company of Mr. & Mrs. Porter. a
. ; ae
The year 1851 was a memorable one in the political history | rt
of Cuddapah, as also in its religious history, in May of ae
that year there was torrential rain and the Chitravati and it
Penner, swollen to extraordinary proportions, carried away a
half of the villagesof Panepalle, Chevatipalle, and Gundlur. i
During the last 30 years the missionaries had toured | eG
throughout the District, established schools in Headquarters iia
preached the Gospel to those desiring to be instructed, and ne
| distributed literature in the shape of Gospels and tracts, ie
| and as a result of their labours, in the greater part of the oi
North and West of the Cuddapah districts the Malas had | We!
abandoned idolatry, and embraced the way of the true God. a
&4e an illustration take the case of Paidala, 40 miles from ie
Cuddapah, where 20 families of Malas, abandoning their idols, |
| desired to embrace Christianity. They were placed under ae i
| instruction for 18 months, and on account of their keen desire ne
40 people were admitted to baptism. Chief among them was a | a
man called Panditi Pusala Nagappa, who, becoming a Christian, |
was baptized in the name of Manoah, and led a most exemplary We
|
About the same time the Halas of Chinna Voenturla resolvad p :
to embrace Christianity and one after another the Catechists, / | i
Andrew Fuller, Joseph Mason, and Jalapati were sent there, and iif
working from Chinna Venturla as their centre they evangelised | i aie
the villages in the neighbourhoods in 1852 the Gospel had L ff
been preached over such a wide area that 50 people in q
Abdulapuram were admitted to baptism. Still the movement . | |
) spread, until it reached Polur and Konda Juttur in the oe
| neighbourhood of Nandyal, and the people of these villages ta
sent two of their number 100 miles to Cuddapah, where they if
visited Mr.Porter, staged with him for some time to receive (ad
instruction, were baptized in the names of Moses and Abraham, of
and requesting that teachers should be sent, they went back to oe
their villages, where they related all thelr experiences. eee
| Subsequently lir.ePorter made a tour in the direction of Le
ms: Nandyal, visited Konda Jutturu and placed Jacob Cole there, tg
and Joseph Cole in Polur, as teachers. In 4 very short time be
there were 100 adherents in these two villages. et
In 1853 in the month of September 71 people, baptized ii
in Chinna Venturla. The movement continued to spread in Se
that neighbourhood, so that the Malas in Lingadinne, bo
Tallamanchipatnam, and Ghanawara, Veparala, and Uppalapad 148
| embraced the faith, and desired to be placed undor instruction ba
and in 1854 Moses Williams was sent to Chinna Venturla to J

| headquarters he travelled in all directions. | at
ie
) The people of Kannaparti, a village not far from | ie
. Cuddapah, also petitioned to be received, and, visiting the ae
village, Mr.Porter baptized a few of the principal people. ik
| Mrs»Porter began to enquire how the knowledge of Christianity bi
got to that village, and one of the women told her the yh
following storyt=- She said that when Mr.Porter was on his | Tf
way to Nandyal, because his bullocks refused to go, he came ae i
to the village of Kannaparti, and engaged a man called es
Busappa, who went with him to Nandyal, where he was so much eG
impressed by what he saw and by what he heard from MNr.Porter, h
that he came back to the village and began to tell his fellow- = (Bm
villagers of what he had seen and heard, and the people of We |
) that village sent a man called Erappa as a deputation to |
Cuddapah, where he made close enquiries of the Catechistf, |
brought him back with him to Kannaparti, where he taught the
rest of the people, who as the result abandoned idolatry. /
Subsequently Andrew Fuller and his wife Suzanna were sent to i
the village and the people, instructed by them, now desired | ae
to be baptized. The man Erappa was baptized in the name of | ae
| Zacchaeus and bacame the father of Matthew, Mark, Luke and | a
ZLaccheus « i
i
Mr.Porter was accustomed to gather together his Catechists | iF
and teachers with their families at Cuddapah to confer with | | if
| them respecting their work, and by collecting money from his .
friends he secured the wherewithal to provide about 400 of them | | Mat
with a feakt, in which the brotherly affection of the Christians | | i
| was manifested. The Christians from the villages were not only | (7%
| greatly delighted themgelves but went back to tell their |
neighbours of these great happenings. The work was i
| _ gystematized, and there was every indication of its further 8
| developgment as large numbers petitioned for teachers to be ie
| sent to them, and to meet the needs of the work the Directors |
decided to transfer the Rev.R.D.Johnson from Vigagapatam as a oi
colleague to Mr.Porter, and he arrived at Cuddapah in 1864. ae
eS Mr.eJohnson stayed for a year assisting Mr.Porter in the work, Hee
| but feeling it was inadvisable to be so far from the work he had | ||
| to superintend in Nandyal, and that it would be far preferable go.
to be permanently in his district, he transferred his Be:
| headquarters in 1855 to Nandyal, and there did a vast amount oS
of evangelistic touring and general preaching, and established | oh
| Schools and congregations in all directions. We shall have oe
more to say of the Nandyal Mission subsequently. oe
In 1829 the first missionary of the S.P.G. the Rev.Rosen,
came to India. After his arrival the work was systematized (8
and developed in all directions, and when the Christians who 8
had gathered in eee round Rev. ~-eWhitford, and Rev.U.Davis, ( | # |
were handed over tr SePeGa, the Rev.John Clay, a young Eurasian, — |]
came to Cuddapsh as representative of that Mission, and after oF
f 7

staying for some time established his Headquarters at f ae
Kutyalapad in the Kurnool district, and took thither a large | at
number of people from Cuddapah. lily .Clay with the hearty | We
assistance of Mr.edJohnson, and with the help of Indian workers | i
carrled on a most excellent work, established the 8.P.G. Telugu je
Mission, gathered in great numbers of the Malas, and opened | i
, schools, and in 1861 Jammalamadugu was constituted a Mission | i"
Station, and Rev.e=- Spencer sent to take charge there. In | i
1865 another Headquarter Station was established at Karlsapad | at
and Reve-Spencer removed to that place. Ae Te i
From 1854 to 1856 lir.Porter continued to do extensive | 3
evangelistic work, established many schools, took oversight | it
| of the Christian community carried on the work of the CGuddapah We
| Church, the English School, the Boarding home, and did much | |
in the training of Indian workers, but his energies were | ae
: gradually undermined by ill his youngest daughter home to England in company with Mrs. oo
Hathaway and he himself went as far as Chittoor, and from | tt
thence he sent Mra.Porter with their daughter to Madras. ee
This gave Mr.Porter an opportunity of meeting Rev.William Seudder | Te
of the American Arcot Mission who had come to Chittoor in a
1854 and they were groatly encouraged by their mutual ae
deliberations. Previous to this, Mr.Scudder's father, Dr.John | &&
Scudder, had established work in Ceylon, and had come on to | ae
India, where he spent some time in Madras, and in 1837 he va | a
conducted Revival services in our Church, and was greatly i
honoured by the missionaries thore. Subsequently his son i
Rev.Heli»Scudder, oame to India, and after spending a short | ae
: time in Madras, establiished his headquarters and opened a i
hospital at Wallajanagaram,. Later his younger brothers, |
William Scudder and Joseph Scudder, joined him in 1852, and i
as time went on they added Vellore, Chittoor, and Arni to their i
Mission territory, and besides carrying on work in the Tamil ae |
area, opened Stations at Palmaner, Ponganur, Madanapalle, ig
Vayalpad, and other places in the Telugu country, where they ! | ;
began the excellent work which we see to-day. a
Returning to Cuddapah tir..orter started on tour to ae
the North to visit the village of Dhoor, 30 miles from be
Cuddapah, the centre of the work of Peter Wesley, and there ae
| received 70 persons, Men, women, and children, into the : |
Christian community by baptism. Be

The year 1857 was one of immense inportance tm the io
history of India because the native troops in Vellore, a ae
instigated by their own people, revolted against the British, ae
and at that time in many important Towns such outbreaks were |

his return to Cuddapah, yet Jlr.Porter, leaving Mrs.Porter and ae
\ their daughter in Bangalore came to Gooty and Abdulapuram, i
| and so arrived at Cuddapah. Although there was cause for i
s apprehension on the part of the Christians, they were greatly a
fortified by his presence. After things had quieted down ae
[ Mre»Porter returned with her daughter to Cuddapah, but at the Wi
a beginning of 1858 their daughter passed away and was butied :
i in the compound of the Church. They had many sympathizers |,
| among the Indian Christians during this time of deep distress. A
i Chief among these was Paul Leighton. But neither personal ae
a grief nor other difficulties could daunt Mr.Porter, who We
ue shortly afterwards started out to attend a conference in Ooty, ae
Hh where he was warmly welcomed by many who knew him. Cholera h |
Fe and other epidemics removed some who were of great service; ne
| Balachentzu Venkata Reddi and Paul Leighton, and their L
| children were provided for in the boarding school, 1
} | ae
i Keseva Reddi of the village of Dhoor, together with a
, other Sudra#, and some Brahmans, about this time cruelly A
i) persecuted the Christians and brought pressure upon them to it
re renounce their faith. Not only so, but they most disgracefulgy if
i persecuted Jacob Vole and James Bruder, who were resident in tt
that district. Ur.Porter reported this misbehaviour to the it
f Governnent, and as a result some Were sent to prison, and one ie
was heavily fined. As a result of the Government's action te |
\ wholesome fear was instilled into the minds of similar evil a
i doers, and still more villages petitioned to be received. of
7 There was trouble also in Cuddapah with people who were ff
Lf living very unworthy lives, and who were constantly engaged — :
ie in quarrels, and set aside all the rules and regulations ik
k imposed upon these living in the Christian lines, and thelr
an comduct was a source of great grief to Mr.Porter. The if
i strain of overwork and the incidence of Cuddapah fever greatly et
ih woakened him. He was examined by Dr.Shaw, who ordered an o
Hh immediate departure for England. But recovering slightly, i
h | he went to Nandyal in October 1859, visited Folur, Jutturu, Fb
st Venturla, and Abi@lapuram, and handing over all his work to to

Â¥ Whilst on furlough he lost his son, aged 20, who had contracted an
tuberculosis. This was & very grievous sorrow, but leaving ari
lirs»Porter behind, he brought with him Rev.A.Thompson, and pipe
| returned in his company to Cuddapah. Taking over charge He
| from Mp,Johnson, he and Mr.Thompson started work together He
but Mr,Thompson'’s health soon broke down, and although he was i
taken to Bellary, it was not long before he was called to aie
relinquish his labours. Scoh after Mr.Porter's return, he i
received the sad news that his eldest son, who was then in He
. College, and whom Mr.sPorter looked forward to welcoming as a He |
colleague in the Cuddapah Mission, died of tuberculosis at i 2
the age of £3. Urse,Porter, accompanied by their only He 2
remaining daughter, returned to India in October 1862 to Pind ile
her husband greatly stricken by grief. During July and nha
August in 1863, in company with Dr.Chamberlain, MrsPorter made a |
an extensive tourto Hyderabad, visiting some 90 large towns, ie |
| preaching the Gospel to thousands of Telugu people, and then, Ve
| continuing his journey alone, he returned to Cuddapah by way ia
| of Guntur and Nellore. Mr.Porter was greatly encouraged ts
by his experiences on this tour, and gave himself with even tha
greater zeal to evangelistic work. We
in 1864 some 70 persons were baptized and received into te
\ the Church, About this time 40 people, of the village of il
) Vellavalli, two miles from Dhoor, who had been under instruction a
for five years, were baptized in the Church at Dhoor, and as il
| evidence of their faith they deposed the idol they had so long i
worshipped and bullt it into the wall of their Church. On a
) Dec.19th, 1864, Joseph Mason was appointed Pastor of the ie
| Cuddapah/Ghurch as an ordained Minister. He was the first 2)
| in Tnild-trone Mala converts to receive ordination. He was. it
: a native of Tornagatapalle near Cuddapah, and married into |
i a family at Kannapurti. Mr.Mason received four years training im |
r in the Bangalore Seminary, and gave many years @& service
| as a Catechist. He spent a good deal of time in the Puliveidla :
| Taluq, where he was Mr.Porter's right hand. He was an excellent |
| preacher, a man of exceptional faith, and such a zealous _
| worker that it was said of him that even the missionaries stood - f
| in fear of him, j
| About this time tlt ReveW.GeMawbey and the Roev.D. 4
: Meadowcroft were appointed as Golleagues to Mr.Porter, but on i
arrival in Madras Mr.Meadowcroft accepted the Pastorate of the a
| Huropean Church there, but MreMawbey came on to Cuddapah, and 4
; in co-operation with Mr.Porter began his work in 1865. a
& Mr.Porter's daughter had been her mother's right hand, |
ae indefatigably seconding her efforts in Sunday -School work, ut

| and dled in Bangalore. This was an indescribably terrible A
blow to the bemeaved parents, for MNrs.Cox was the last of he
their family, from whom one after the other they had been Nh
called upon to part, but with humble resignation they were a
able to say "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away. ie
Blessed be the name of the Lord®. In their distress they it
received much help from the Kindliness and sympathy of their ih
son-in-law, Mr.,Cox, and their colleague, Ur,Mawhbey. In a
1867 Mr.Mawbey was transferred to Madras, and thus Mr.Porter ae
was once more isft to carry on the work alone. In 1866 the te 3
| Telugu country suffered undeys, great famine, but even so the He s
people did not abandon their desire to embrace Christianity HI
but whilst in 1866 there were 23 village Congregations, in ae
1867 there were only 12, the reason being treat only those ie
villages tihre Mission workers were resident were counted. He |
As we have already observed Mr.iloses Williams was i
stationed in CGhinna Venturia, and he did excellent work in the i
surrounding districts. He determined to erect a substantial Ah
Church in Ghinna Venturla, and collected funds for this aa
purpose, completing the building in July 1867. In September i)
Myr.& Mre.Porter, with the children of the Cuddapah School, tt
and others, proceeded to Vhinna Venturla and were greatly mn)!
| delighted with the handsome building, which was consecrated Ae
- dn the name of the Lord Jesus. Mr.Porter visited a groat a
many of the village congregations, and as he had determined iG
to return to England he was desirous to see as many of his I
| peloved Ghristians as was possible. A little before he left, i |
Pe in the beginning of 1868, .ir.Moses Williams was ordained in a
| the Church at Cuddapah, and sent back to Chinna Venturla,.
Like Mr.sMason, MreWilliams was also of Panchama extraction, i
) being a native of Shambupet. He was educated by the Mission, Wa
and with extraordinary zeal and faithfulness he laboured for i
| the extension of the Kingdom of Christ, whose servant he wase i |
| The writer had the good fortune to know Mr,Williams in his a
| 901d age and to learn much of the early history of the Mission
) from him, and the work which he accomplished among the haughty
idolatrous, and stubborn cultivators was beyond all praise. Me
At. the close of 1867 Mr.Porter wrote his last report, and in it |
) he mentions that when he first joined the Cuddapah Mission,
there were 60 members in the Cuddapah Church, that Cherlopalle
was the only village congregation, and that there were £0 |
| communicants. At the close of 23 years of service there were 4
12 village congregations, 14 scheols, 126 commimnicants, 1200
Christians, 42 girls in Boarding School, 200 Christians in :
| the Guddapah Church, of whom 80 were gommunicants, and in ie
| addition to all this & Indian Ministers had received ordination. |
| in addition there were Sunday Schools, Mother's Meetings, etc. 4
| and looking back over his period of service Mr.Porter closes his |
| report with a great pean of preise. | a!

In 1868 he handed over charge to Mr Mawbey, and proceeded Ve
| to England. Mre Porter was her husband’s right hand in the Ba
work of the Mission, in establishing schools, in the service of 1
the Cuddapah Church, in tours among the villages, in the i
instruction of women, and the help of girls, she laboured inde- i
fatigably, and what she aid for the advancement and uplifting ae
of the women of this distfict can never be adequately recorded. ie
Before they left Cuddapah the Christians of that town, the it 3
workers in the villages, and the Christians who came with them, Wh:
gathered in a great meeting on February 25th to express their ita.
appreciation of the work Mr and Mrs Porter had done in their ie
midst, and to take farewell of them, and that they might still ae
be held in remembrance, and that their gratitude might not be neat
forgotten, they gathered a sum of Rs 500 with which they made
suitable presentations to Mr and Mrs Porter. But though he had bf
retired on pension he maintained active relationships with the Hy
LMS. and an unabated interest in the work of the Guddapah i
Mission, regularly corresponding with Mr Mason, Mr Moses Williams, fi)
and Mr Jacob Cole, and kept himself in touch with the mission- 1s
aries, remembering them and their Indian workers continually in ie
-his prayers. He
Mz Porter entered into his rest on 24th July 1682. Just |
before he died he caused the Pilgrim's Progress to be read to hin.
and followed the history as far as the crossing of the river in et
sight of the beautiful land of Beulah. Thereupon he commended il
his own people, and the Christians whom he loved, to God in E
prayer and so resigned his spirit into His hands. The news of |
My Porter's death reached Cuddapah on a Sunday morning, and the
letter was read in the service by the Rev. J. R. Bacon, amidst
the tears of the congregation. Rev. Joseph Mason read ist
Corinthians 15 as the Scripture lesson, but was so overcome with
grief that he. was unable to preach and brought the service to a
? close. Subsequently money was collected and in 1884 a memorial :
tablet, which is still to be seen in the Cuddapah Church, was 4
. erected. 4

7 When MrsPorter left for England the Rev.i!.GeMawbey, who
had cone to Madras to help in a Church there, returned to i

| Cuddapah, and began his work in 1868. He handed over the i
charge of the Town Church in Cuddapah to Rev.dJogeph Mason, Wy
and accompanied by a number of Indian helpers he made extensive ,

| evangelistic tours, visiting the congregations in the villages, He &
placing Catechists wherever necessary, laying upon the people He 3

their responsibility to contribute something towards the support i
of their own workers, and carrying on the work in a thoroughly He
systematic manner. Ur.Mawbey reckoned as village congregations a

| only those places in which a Catechist was resident. That is the (|
reagon why the number of village congregations appears to be A
reduced. Many other villages were still asking for Catechists, tat

| and having abandoned their idols were desirous to embrace He

: Christianity. it was impossible to comply with their wishes iy

: since there was a great lack of trained workers, and for this i

| reason Mrawbey gathered together a number_of children in Bi

Cuddapah, suitably educated them, gave them slight Biblical Th

| training, and sent them back to their own villages as teachers a

5 and preachers. He was extremely zealous in evangelistic work a
in company with his Indian fellow-workers, and brought the Gospel #&
within the reach of thousands. He had great hopes that all the He

| Malas would embrace Christianity speedily, and in 1876 twenty~ Hi

three more villages were gathered in, and besides Catechists he ne

| placed 15 more teachers in different villages, and by carrying on |

E. the schools much more effectively the number of people under i

Christian instruction was continually augmented. The love which &@

F the Christian Malas exhibited towards their non-Christian a
friends and relatives resulted in many more applications for of
teachers. In 1871,12 more villages were received, but ir.Mawbey's #

attitude was that it was better to train a few who had been we

! admitted to baptism so that they might become communicants and |

: true witnesses for Christ, rather than to receive more than it ff

| : Was possible to train. He

For three years a small Hospital had been maintained at

; Proddatur, but as the Directors were unable to afford money for

| its support, it had to be closed. UMr.Mawbey had an extensive

| knowledge of medicine, which enabled him to take the supervision —
of the Municipal Hospital in Cuddapah for a short time. oe

| His knowledge of medicine was of invaluable help in his i

fi evanrelistic tours. Tadpatri and Rayachoti were occupied by |

| | Catechists who toured in the surrounding districts. Subsequently —

- three people belonging to the Balji caste in Tadpatri were not a

only baptised themselves but were the means of gathering in some ff |

f 600 Malas from the surrounding villages. if

it was in Ur.Mawbey's time that the Missionary's bungalow i
and the Boys and Giris’ Boarding Schools which were then in the Hi
Church Gompound, were sold to the Cuddapah Municipality and the He
present bungalow and Boarding Home were built in Nagarazapet. ie
In 1875 there were about 1200 people asking for instruction, a
| and as there were no suitable teachers moans were taken to improve im
| the teaching in the village schools. The result of this policy i
was that in 1874 there were 15 schools which qualified for He
Government Grants, |

in 1874 we find that some villages, which had up to that ei
: time belonged to the Cuddapah Mission,nwere transferred to the : i
| Nandyal Mission, and later on a similar transfer of other villages i
took place to the Gooty Mission. By & atudy of the above table i i
we find that the work had extended to Pulivendla, Jammalamadugu, ae
Proddatur, Cuddapah, Rayachoti and Tadpatri Taluks, and it has ay
| since deveicped to the proportions which the table for 1922 a
makes manifest. , au

ir, Mawbey not only preached in the villages all round about ae
Cuddapah but he elaborated a most satisfactory scheme of preaching fie
in the Town itself. From the time of Mr,Howell it had been the we 3
practice of the migsionarios in Cuddapah to visit the Jail and Hh ‘
preach to the prisoners, and keeping up this practice Mr. Mawbey ua
carried on the work, and made the acquaintance of a man by the ie
name of Gaurayya, a goldsmith who had been comnitted for murder, i
and made known to him the truth of the Gospel. This man was Hes |
greatly impressed, and seriously reflecting upon his own condition ie
sought frequentdy interviews with Mr,lMawbey. The crime of which Ha:
he Was accused Was proved against him, and the High Court ie
confirmed the conviction on Appeal, Among the Christians prayer ee
was offered for the speedy conversion of the murderer, and fe,
Gaurayya accepted the Gospel, and Jesus Christ s his Saviour. He
He received baptism on Nov.28th, and on the 28th he paid the HH
penalty of hig crime, but met his death bravely and hopefully, Ne
walking to the seaffold with great Joy. His conversion was ne
proof that even the murdsrew who repents of his sin may¥find nan
salvation through Christ. 3 th
| The &.1.0.C, which from 1872 had taken controi of all the te
. work in South India, transferred the Rev.H.A.Hutchison to argsist — fi
| Mr.Mawbey in Cuddapah, but after a very short stay he went back 8
| again to the Tamil country. ie
| of
In 1875 there was .a terrible epidemic of cholera throughout iy
the Cuddapah district, and thousands of people, including many fe
i of the Christian community, were swept away. in this time of im
great, danger help was given in every way both to Christians and %
| non-Christians. i
L
| The District Committee also appointed Reved.R.Bacon to |
assist Mr.Mawbey who had been without a permanent assistant for
: - the past 11 years, and he arrived in Cuddapah in the month of |
. November, and gave himself to the study of the language in
| : preparation for evangelistic work. The arrival of Mr.& Mre.Bacon
| Was a great satisfaction to lir,Mawbey. ;
{ Soe
in this year there were 79 villages, $1 teachers, 147 a
| communicants, 1386 baptised adherents, and 3925 catachumens. | x

country that shows such gratifying results. This great : ia
development enables us to estimate the geal and persistence with Hi
which Mr.Mawbey evangelized the district. Though it is i.
impossible to tabulate all that he did in a written record we if
are able to see the wonderful work he accomplished, and to By i
praise God for it. , | i
° Mr Mawbey did not long enjoy. the co-operation of Mr.Bacon, i
) for in August 1876 he handed over charge of the whole district He
: to him and proceeded to England on furlough. Whilst there he |
| took a Medical course and in 1879 he returned to Cuddapah, i 8
| hoping to impreye the great opportunitges for work which offered He &
there, but the Directors, being in dire straits flor a doctor in ae
China, transferred him to Hongkong. ia
| the whole welght of the burden of the work fell upon He
Mr,Bacon after Mr.Mawbey's departure, but he shouldered the Hi
burden with great zeal, and with the help of his Indian workers Hit
) such as Kov-edoseph Mason, rarey, Zerubabaal Seth, David Tummayya, He
ee Tiruvengadiah, and others, he was able to carry on the work as te
| hitherto, but the great famine which supervened interferred Fa
| seriously with lis progress. in 1875 the monsoon failed, and Hi
owing &, fact of rains there were no crops, and following upon Fa
this in 1876 the early rains again failed and there was no Ha
possibility even of sowing, and as a consequence in July there He
, was great stress of famine in Pulivendla, Badvel, and Kamalapuram We
Districts, and the Collector arranged work by which the poor i
people could earn at any rate a little, but in August a littie tt
rain fell, and improvement seemed imminoht, but these hopes were nf
) entirely blighted by the complete absence of rain in September, t
and the condition of the whole district was one of great distress. if
The Government opened relief works, took up the repair of trunk He
| roads, and set work going on tae new roads. ie
| The history of our district shows that from time to time i |
the people have suffered from the incidence of famine. That of i
1833 was the chief among them, and in 1861 and 1854 other
famines followed. But the famine of 1876, known as the famine :
of the red wind brought unspeakable distress in itstrain. In He
like manner this famine brought such terrible distress that the
es people had no strength even to work, and food depots were opened |
throughout the district. According to te Government statistics ff
in a district with a population of 1,400,000 there were 200,000
| and in some months somewhat less than that number, engaged in
coolie works. Grain could not be got. Wealthy people hid their
eS erhin, and the condition of the ordinary people went from bad to eh
| worse. Not only in the Cuddapah district, but in 14 districts |

died, 625 lakhs of rupees had been spent on famine work by the i?
Government, and 191 lakhs dus in income from land tax had to be i
relinguished. the famine not only made havoc of the country, |

| but seriously hindered the work of the Mission. Large numbers ee
of people, unable to keep body and soul together, left their i
villages and wandered from place to place, in 1876 at the close
of the year there were 8168 Christians, Of theses 750 died, and Tay
418 either went to other places or died, for at the close of the i}.
famine they could not be found. All school work and evangelistic ie

) work came to a standstill, but the parent Society made collections ih

| in England, and afforded much welcome help. Large numbers of hie 'R

orphan chilcren were received into the Home and in 1877 eight boys He :

from the villages and four from Cuddapah were gathered into a Eh:

In November Rev.d.R.Bacon visited that disatrict on an i i

evangelistic tour and found that a number of Sudras were anxious il

| to embrace Christianity and that in a great number of villages ie

| the Malas were desirous to become adherents, and he reported that He

| there were great hopes for the development of te work in that if

| district. The teachers also were doing good work, and some of |

| them qualified for Government grants. Among the Catechists ih

| Zerubabaal Seth and David Tummayya were doing excellent work.

| The people of Pedda liudlam had long desired to build themselves |

| a Church, but were prevented from obtaining a suitab@e site, ih

| but through the good offices of a Sudra they were able to get Hh

| land upon which they bullt themselves a stone Church, and a

| school. In Guddapah the Rev.Jogeph Mason took oversight of i

| the Church, helped in Bazaar, preaching, and in evangelistic

| work in surrounding villages. There were 318 members in the

| Cuddapah Church, of whom 70 were communicants, and the work of &

| the Ghurch was efficiently carried on by a strong body of elders,

| but in that yoar Edward Newport, who had been for many years an )

| elder in the Church, passed to his reward. |

Whilst the preceding table gives some indication of Hi 2
the growth of the work it must not be forgotten that 1100 is
Christians were lost in the great famine. Moreover the Te
| Training School for Teachers which had been established in Te
| 1877 was continually growing. Those who were trained there, it :
| were sent after their training to the villages, where they ile |
taught the boys and girls in the school, and, benefitting by Hi

There was a Brahman who lived about 50 miles‘ from |
Cuddapah and who had visited Benares, Ramashvaram, Conjeevaran, |
Tirupati, and other sacred places of the Hindus and found no |

he was pondering deeply over his deubts and how he might resolve |
them, he came into contact with a Mission teacher who persuaded f

arrived in Cuddapah he found that the missionary was on tour in |
Rayachoti, where, he was told, he was preaching the Gospel to oe |
people like himself. He forthwith set cut upon the journey a

At this time a veryyimportant evangelistic effort was mafie :
by the @embined forces of ,Guddapah, Gooty, and Bellary Missions, ei
in a Camp Meeting held at Tadpatri from 11th to 14th December. i
| The purpose of this meeting was to encourage and instruct Mission ae
| workers, and by means of the magic lantern to bring the Gospel me
prominently before the population of that large town. On three tee
: successive nights the magic lantern was used, the Missionaries and oe
Fr their helpers gave addresses, and hundreds of Hindus were brought He
within the sound of the Gospel. Great interest wan aroused and it

wooded valleys, and temperate climate. Arrived at Kadirl they 1
visited a small school being carried on by the Medical man in ae

because Of his medical knowledge he was able to help some 200 GPa
people, and in order to obtain practice in the language he aie

faith, but gathered together the people in great crowds to 1

Mr. w#acfarlane first of all went to Vizarapatam in 1682 and ry
for some time was Principal of the AHigh School, and afterwards nia
went to Vijlanazar. Subsequentiy when Mr.Goffin came back big
from furlough they were both stationed in Vijlanagar, from which ig

| The great increase in the Cuddapah field led the directors ne
| to transfer Mr,.Goffin and Mr Macfarlans to the Cuddapsah district, a |
and we shall learn what excellent work they did. te

APter the arrival of Rev.G.H,Maefarlane, iirsBacon took Hh
charge of the work in Cuddapah and gave himself very largely EilP
to thse training of teachers. But Reve.W,HsCampbell and G@eHe Pi
| Macfarlane combined visitation of the congregations with ie
| evangelistic touring. Mr.Macfarlane was: greatly rejoiced at it
the growth of the Christian community but desply concerned with qi
regard to their spiritual condition, and anxious that they i
- ghould be provided with teachers who could suitably instruct Wie
them in the knowledge of Christ, and the faith, and as in the old a
| days God sent the Israelites inte the promised land, and drove 4
out before them the Hittites, the Perlgzites, and the Canaanites ik
: and gave them possession of the land, so, he felt, he himself . |
had been sent to win the people of the Telugu country as a Ha
ee posseasion for the Lord Josus Christ. WG

During this year Mr.Campbell spent 170 days in evangelistic if
| touring in Jammalamadugu, Proddatur, Pulampet, Rayachoti, and bn
| Pulivendla Taluks, and received in baptism Palu Pulla Reddi, ihe
together wee other Sudras. Myr.Goffin and Mr.Macfarlane GS
travelled in,Rayachoti district and gathered in a few of the Oh a
Sudras. In Yerraguntla and Dhoor stone meeting houses were
| erected. In this year also the ReveJoseph Mason who had : ;
served the Mission for so many years, first in Cuddapah and Ahi
afterwards in Pullvendla, passed to his rest. i.
Mr.Bacon was closely engaged in the training of 40 le) &
young men from the villages, whilst Mr.Macfarlane and Mr.Campbell i
threw their energies into evangelistic work, with the success He
of which they were greatly delighted, and gave themselves in He
whole~hearted zeal to the peagmkikem propagation of the Gospel, ie
but realiging that out of the 150,000 Malas and Madigas in the 1 |
district, the 6000 who had become Christians to entirely ve
| occupied their attention that they had no opportunity for Ha
preaching to people of other castes, they determined that i
Kadiri should be opened up as e#eh a Mission ares and Mr.Goffin Hh
proceeded there to undertake that endeavour, They took charge i
of the rest of the Mission area which they worked bith even Bye
greater zeal than before They were greatly encouraged by a We
movement among the Sudras, which seemed likely to develop as ie
that among the Malas had done, and the Sudras in some villages He
were exhorting their relatives to become Christians, and in W
company with some of the Malas, a great many families at one time hi
came forward to embrace Christianity. a
ie |
: There was also a community of 40 families of Lingayats hie
, in the village of Veerapalle in Rayachoti Taluk, and in the Hl
village of Surappa there was a merchant and a Sudra, who gave He
up their Hindu practices and desiring to become Christians a |
| obtained copies of the New Testament, by which they learned of et |
) Christ's teaching and became secret disciples. te
In 1890 some $50 people were baptised, but because they ie
had appealed in vain for teachers to be sent to them, the people wi
| of about 20 villages became so discouraged that they lapsed into aa
their old idolatrye This is a matter @frintense regret, but He
| in the absence of teachers, how was it possible to instruct them. Hi
Ve
By the end of 1888, 22 men had been trained in the — |
School which Mr.Bacon established in Cuddapah ig 1877. For ei
this reason this work was left entirely in the hands of Mr,.Bacon, aH
and in this year he was able to send out 8 young men who had i
| been trained as teachers. 5
During the previous 5 years about 149 Sudras had 1
: confessed Christ, in baptism, and in Kottapalle, Velavali, 7 Wi
Chaygaleru and other places, substantial stone buildings had Wi

CHAPTER 6 1h
toe : f
CUDDAPAH MISSION. 1891 - 1910. ihe
After Reved.R.sBacon had spent 10 years filled with tha
excelisnt work in Cuddapah it was necessary; on account of the Be ia
) unbeiiability of the climate, to locate the Training Class At
for Village Teachers in some other place, and in August 1891 Wid
ir.Bacon and the students removed to Gooty, and we are well |)
aware of the splend@@ character of the work subsequently done ie 3
there. | i
ai
The Gooty and Cuddapah missionaries had made frequent and i
| insistent representations to the Board concerning the great He
increase of the work, the stringency of funds, and the lack of 1
workers, and eventually the Board acceded to their request that We
the South India District Committee should send a deputation. ie
The deputation consisted of Rev.G.O.Newport of Bangalore, and We
Reved.G.Hawker of Bee who visited the Gooty and Cuddapah Hi
districts, asd speny trether 21 days on tour, visiting 83 i
villages in the Cuddapah district, and 11 In the Gooty district, Pia
: investigating the social condition of the Christians, their Ai)
physical and spiritual welfare, the great desire of others to ia
accept Christianity, and the paucity of workers, and they were |
: able thus to report from actual observation to the Board, ihe
recommending that it was necessary to increase the grant to ie
these districts, and to send out additional workers. ce
| In response to the Deputation's report the Board augmented hie
the grant to these districts. It was in December of this Hey
year that Rev.d.lisUre who had spent 15 years in Glasgow, and he
had been pastor of a Church in Linlithgow for three years, and ie
DrsT.V.Campbell, who had done excellent work in connectionn we |
with the London Medical Mission, and his wife who was also a Hie
doctor, were sent by the Board for work in the Telthgu areas Te
We shall learn more about Medical work in another phapter, i
ih
| Mr,Macfarlane and Mr.Campbell still carried on evangelistic it
work, visiting the different Taluks, sometimes in company, Th
: and sometimes taparately, preaching the Gospel to many thousands, i
and receiving large numbers to baptism. HH
In the village of Atzavelli in the Pulivendla Raluk there was ff]
a secret disciple, Bakki Reddi, son of Narayana Reddi, who, We
having studied the New Testament, for many years, now made open a
profession-of his faith in baptisn,. ait
| he
| Seeing the substantial buildings erected in Kottapalle and ft
Velavali the villagers in 4a great many other places determined We |
| to erect similar buildings in their own villages, and their ih |
| ie Churches in turn were the models upon which many bbhers wore built. He :



| 52 Wt
When MreMacfarlane took furlough, Mr,Campbell took charge ti
of the whole work of the District, with the help of Rev.d.M.Ure pith
and of his own brother. oe
About this time David Leighton, who had been an active Bae
worker for many years, was ordained, and appointed to the char ge i
of the whole Pulivendla Taluk. ee
Dr.«Campbell made Jammalamadugu his headquarters and began ag
: Medical work there, but as there was no bungalow he continued he 3
to reside in Cuddapah until the necessary: buildings were completed. He
lr.Ure did a good deal with the magic lantern and toured ie
round & gpeat many of the villages, showing the pictures, and Btn
explaining the life of Christ, and in view of the intense He
earnestness of the people was led to exclaim "How much better it Ba
would have been if I had come to India years agof® Yet, in spite He.
of his advanced years, he laboured with indefatigable zeal. | Re
han
My.eCampbell spent 185 days in 18835 in evangelistic touring Ny,
Visiting not only the village congregations, but touring with fF
Kev. &seleliarler in the Gooty district, and Rev.H.G,Goffin in Kadiri. il
He afterwards went on to Madanapalle, which had become a station ah
of the Arcot Mission. br.W.sl.Chamberlain, and his friends, who Hy
| were acquainted with Mr,Campbell's great attainments in Telugu, Me
desired that he should go with them to Ponganur, where for a long ae
time they had been prevented from public preaching, and they Hi
: notified Mr.Campbell, who came to them from Kadi¢i, and went bn to | ie
Ponganur, where he preached with great effect. The people were | i
delighted with his addresses, and the Indian workers benefitted ig
by his encouragement, and with the good wishes and respects of nu
the Zamindar of Ponganur he returned to his headquarters at Cuddapah. #i@
; Ale
Another notable circumstance in the work thts year was that i |
in the month of March about 170 leaders of the village congregations §%
7 gathered together at Cuddapah, where a Convention extending over we
three days was held, during which addresses were delivered on ae
Gelf-support, Total Abstinence, and the need for the abandoning Ale
of Hindu coremonies. As a result of these addresses the elders Fi
of 29 villages took a pledge that they would abandon drink, and a
would endeavour to induce others to do the same. It is impossible Te
to exaggerate the value of these meetings. +
a
| . Mr,«~Macfarlane, after spending some 20 months ofi furlough, © ai
returned to Guddapah in December, accompanied by Miss Simmons and al
Miss Darnton, who were designated for work among the women in WE
| Cuddapah. They resided in Cuddapah for some time, learning the |
ee. language, and beginning their work among the women. We shall i
- ‘have occasion.to study this work more closely when we come to. the Fy

The return of Mr,Macfarlane from England was a great delight ae
| to Mr,Campbell, for during the last 10 years he had not returned pie:
to his own land, but forgetting his relatives had thrown himself ee
with marvellous zeal into the work of Christ's Kingdom, and it was ee
a natterfor great rejoicing that now the opportunity occurred for
re-union with his friends at home. ae
fn anewer to the pressing invitation of the people of Gundilur Heh
a great Convention was held in that village in February 1894, the Ree:
| services being conducted in temporary buildings outside the village. im
| At this convention the Nission workers, the Elders of the village aie)
congregations, the mibsionaries from Gooty, ReveRsd.Ward from Madras, fim 3
| and MreChelliah Pillai from Guddapah, altogether an assembly of He)
about 600 people, gathered and the proceedings were similar to those iH
| of the Gonvention held in Kottapalle the previous year. Addresses a |
were given upon the Christian Life, Temporance, Self-support, and aed
| other important matters. lh
At the end of that month Mr.Campbell handed over charge to He
ir. Macfarlane, and departed on furlough. Mr.Macfarlane, with aii)
his helpers, carried on the work with excellent effect. Reved.M. He
Ure toured in every Taluk, and according to his custom, preached Hi
the Gospel by means of the magic lantern, reaching thousands of iy
people Ones when he was preaching in Siddhout a great crowd Ay
of people, consisting of ail castes, from the highest to the lowest, He
gathered, and requested him to omit the story of Christ, and Ve
confine himself to moral teaching, but Mr.Ure declined to concede i
to their request, and showed them the pictures connected with the Fa
story of the Prodigal Son, as illustrating God's boundless love Ha |
towards all mankind, and when he further explained the pictures of He
: the Grucifixion, the whole crowd were deeply affected by the story, Hii
and acknowledged that Christ is the True Guru. Many villages fe
proffered urgent requests that he should visit them and exhibit |
_ the pictures, and so eager were they to obtain his services that ce |
they brought carts to fetch him. it
Bhs)
During this year Rev.&G..H,Macfarlane toured for 180 days in ie
Cuddapah, Jammalamadugu and Proddatur Taluks, and bulit up many i
congregations in their most holy faith, laying special stress upon a
the teaching of the Lord's Supper, and preaching the Gospel wherever #%
he went. ui
Hh}
Dr.Campbell was still learning Telugu, and when he was in ii
Guddapah, as well as when on tour, carried on his medical work, a
giving medicine to hundreds, and attracting the thoughts of the Wi
| people to the Great Physician of souls, bearing testimony to Him a
both by his twaching and by his work, oe
Oe
The people of Chinna Kandakur built themselves a handsome if
stone building for worship, and the people of Gundlakunta, whoge We
thatched building had been burned down by the farmers, built af Stone a



54 Wi
building to take its place, whilst the people of Kadiripalle built iG
| with their own hands a stone house for the teacher. ate
Revedacob Cole accompanied by 20 teachers visited the ahi
Nalamalla Hills, where the great feattg at Ahobalam was held, t
where they preached the Gospel to many thousands. ei
At Gollalagudur, Narayana Reddi, and Veeriah the Goldsmith, le
were baptized and presented a site and erected a stone Church at Ree
their own cost. 3
Dr.Qampbell and his wife left Cuddapah in February 1895 4 : :
and made their Headquarters at Jammalamadugu, where they were able ti
to put their work upon & more satisfactory footing. ie
tid i
Revedacob Cole, who, for a long time past, had been in A
Cuddapah, was transferred to Rameshveram, from whence he toured in Hh
Jammalamadugu and Proddatur Taluks, visiting the congregations pay
and preaching to non-Christians. : oe te
Mr, Macfarlane and Mr,Ure regularly visited the congregations i
reviving their spiritual life, and urging upon them the necessity ia
and value of systematic giving, beginningywith three plies a week. a
Three more villages were received during the year, but |
although there were forty others seeking for admission, because The
there were no teachers to send to them, it was impossible fee admium-
xen to entertain their requests. i
In Jdangalapalle a Sudra named Anandiah, and at Uppulapad, We
Venkata Reddi, received baptism kn the name of Ghrist. i
| A very sorrowful occurrence was the death of Mr.Chelliah a
Pillal.,BsAsesBele, who had been brought under the influence of the ite
Gospel through the efforts of Mr.Campbell, and who had accepted a
Ghrist and served him with great zeal, and who had been a great He
helper of the poor. His death was an irreparable loss to the i
| Mission and to the Christians. He
a a
Mr.& Mre.Campbell returned from furlough in November, but \
| they went to live with thelr brother in Jammalamadugu, and vn
continued to carry on their work from that Station. a
Mr.Bacon was obliged to leave Gooty on account of his 3 a
health, and as it was necessary to transfer someon@ to take his at
place, Mr.Ure was transferred to Gooty. He left Cuddapsh in zi
December and took over the work of Mr.Marler who had beeh
transferred to the Institution in place of Mr.Bacon,. pil
| In this year the Church in Quddapah, built 70 years i
| previously, was mamect extensively repaired, and rebullt into its We
present form. The people of Dommeranandyal erected a stone >. =

Although Mr,Macfarlane and lMr.Campbell had different Ree
Headquarters, they worked the whole of the district together. a
ir, Macfarlane toured for 189 days and Mr.Campbell for 185°%h Hb ae
Cuddapah, Pulivendla, Proddatur, Siddhout, Rajampet, and . ee
Janmalamadugu, making known the work of the new Hospital, and rea
inviting people to take advantage of tts help. S12 persons ie
were baptized, bringing the community up to about 12,000. eRe
| The number of village teachers rose from 81 to 109, and still Wile
there wave 48 villages to which no help could be given, Among eS
the Christian community recognition of the need for systematic f 2
giving began to evolve, temperance principles began to prevail, ae
and a feeling of shame with regard to other great evils began to oe
spring Up. - |
By the effobts of Mrse.Porter and others of like mind an
money wae gathered for the building of a large Church at ve
Bhimanapad in this year. Burra Reddi who had been induced to ee
embrace Christianity by Mr.Campbell in 1885, and Rama Khrishna, i
who became a Christian in 1896 both passed away. Rama Krishna i
had only been @ Christian for a very short time, but before hia Rue
geath he gathered together all who had become Christians at the ~ ie
same time as himself and exhorted them to remain firm in the tie
Christian faith, and clasping the Bible to his breast, and blessing ee
all whe were present, he entered with joy into the presence of his « ie
Lord. ae
In 1897 both the early and the late rains failed, and the i |
pinch of famine began to be felt. The Christians looked to the ve
- Missionaries for aid, and the Missionaries in turn invoked the HW
Government, and secured the initiation of Famine Relief Work. Me
Famine roads were laid down in different parts of the District, . la
by working on which the people were able to earn sufficient to a
keep body and soul together. Some of the people scattered to ie
other districts in search of 2a living, but the missionaries ae
represented the people's condition to the Board at home, with the HW)
result that nearly 12,000 rupees were sent as relief. By the use ue
| of this money 14 new wells were dug, and 40 old ones repaired, 12 ne
| Churches and 13 Catechists'houses were built, 36 other buildings (oe
| were repaired, 11 backyards were enclosed, Ke be was found for i
ee a number of Christians. In addition to thig,20 bales of yarn we
| were obtained for distribution among the Christians, who were tn
| given cooly for weaving it, and thue in numferous ways the parent vi
| Soclety gave help which will never be forgotten. Mt
Mr.Matthew Struthers, who had long been an evangelist, and Kh
| had travelled over the whole district preaching, and in every way ie
. done excellent work, was ordained, and placed in charge of the | aie
villages in Jammalamadugu. : ih

in 1898 in the month of April, Mrs.Macfarlane who had bem ae
| sutferbng from Cuddapah fever was sent to Kodaikanal, where she a
) died six days after her arrival. Although this was an awful He
| calamity for Mr.eMacfarlane, for the loss of lirs.Macfarlane was He
) the loss of his right hand, he nevertheless continued to scarry i
on his work with unabated zeal. In July Mr. & Mrs.Campbell lost ie
| their little daughter Mary from dysentery, but in the midst of ae
their distress they cast their care upon the Lord and found 1
comfort in the carrying on of His work, As @ result of the work iy

In seven years the Christian community had doubled. in this way re |
tho Miissionaries sought both the material and spiritual sood of Pil
the Christian community, labouring for the training of those who We
would become teachers, and in every way seeking the advancement te
of their people. in consideration of the greater needs of the os

Although the Christian community increased in numbers from at

Guddapah is frequently visited by famine, which presses very hardly A

in the village of Bomepalle near Jammalamadugu, there ie
were 20 families of Boyas who desired to embrace Christianity, Bie
and some Sudras in Sunnaparalapallewere also enquirédes. ifs
3 Kemalapuram was made a missionargés headquarters, and ae tk
a new bungalow for his residence was compléted. fen years of ee
famine are swallowed?in. one year of plenty, acecrding to the if
: Tolugu proverb, and fn 1902 there came a year of unprecedented tn
plenty, so that even the poorer of the peoophe had the happiness m
of living in comfort. | a.
When Mr.Macfarlane went on leave Mr.,MacNair took charge te) 3
of the whole work and initLated a new form of industry, through he
seeing the clothed which the dyers of Jammalamadugu make and sell. a
He got coarse cloth woven, and had it stamped in various patterns ve) |
so that 1t could be used for pillowcases, tablecloths, bedspreads, ‘ |i |
and many other purposes, and he induced the Mission Industries ie
| Depot in London to take these goods and sell them. thus providing ip
work for the weavers among the Christian congregations. As tat
Mir, MacNair was left alone, MreUre from Kadiri, and Mr.Stephenson i
from Gooty, assumed rosponsibllity for part of the district. ce AF
What
In Oct. of this year a great Convention for the deepening he
of Spiritual Life was held in Kamalapuram, at which the speaker ee
| was the ReveW.eEesBoges of the American Baptist Mission, who gave a
addresses on the Responsibility of the Christian teacher, the ie
Hindrances, tog Mission work arising from personal shortcomings, ae
and that Need of Deliverance from Sin, A large number of teachers a
attending the Conference were greatly moved and many were led yf
to new consecration. i
ie
Up to that time, although there had been a Training i
School for teachers for many years, only some two or three workers ie |
joined the Mission from year to year, but in this yoar Mr.Marler- le
and Mr.Campbell were able to syoend t#ésr 14 young men who took up We
work ke in the Cuddapah Mission and their advent made ht possible ie
to place seven new villages under instruction. , Ht

| At the end of this year Narappa Reddi, a prominent ae ae
7 of Uppulapad, and Fakaruddin, accepted Christ as their Saviour. ie
ii
A great many members of the village congregations decided Hh
upon an endeavour for the correction of some of the defects which Ut
still marked life and conduct, Many of the Christian people, Wie
for the sake of the perquisites still engaged in the gramajatras ne
and the service of @umb images, and contracted marriage arrangements ji
with their non-Christian relatives. The corrections of these He
arekularities were the most important things in the year's work, |
Mr.Campbell came every month, lecturing to the teachers of

imparting instruction to them which they micht pass on to their Big:
congregations « Mir.MacNalr with the assistance of Mr.Gowdy and is
Mr.eRoss, and Indian workers, carried on the work of the Mission 1p
until the end of the year, when lir.Macfarlane returned and na
resumed his work, At that time Mr.Ross married Misc A.N.Ure a
thg daughter of Revedsll,Ure, who had been Nursing Superintendent, ie
inWanmalamaduga Hospital, and in her place the Board sent out He
Miss FeA.Feare. 3 ae

The great event of this year was the building of the Ae a
Jammalamaduga Church. Up to that time the Station had been We 3
without & suitable place of Worship, but MrCampbell and his : ne
brother Dr«Campbell with the assistance of Mr.MacNair and the a
Indian workers, undertook the ralsing of the money, and in Dec. We
the building, which had been erected under the supervision of ie
Dr.Krishna Rao, was completed, the dedication service being th
conducted by the Rev.W.Howard Campbell, The girls in the i
Boarding School by dint of laying a lev#yfon their daily grain eat
allowance, raised sufficient money to provide a Communion Table We
and Chairs, which are an ornament to the Church to the present He
Gay « ii
Another new venture during this year was the introduction We
of the flying sfhuttle loom, the use of which was taught to a few We
people, who continued to use it for some time, but after a few Hh
yoars it fell into disuse. i
A number of village congregations who were desirous of do
providing themselves with stone buildings for Worship and had |
gathered together little funds for that purpose new requested the A
help of the Mission in raising the total sum. A gift of Rs.»750 ie
by Mre.Hornby made possible the building of a few of these Churches. ie |

Mr. Macfarlame and MreRoss resided in Cuddapah, Mr.MacNair Ht
in Jammalamadugu, and Ur.Cowdy in Kamalapuram, dividing the work 1,

and Rajampet Taluks, Mr Macfarlane Probatur Taluk, Mr.Macnair ie
Jammalamadugu Taluk and oe eowey Pulivendla Taluk, and withthe ie
help of the Indian workers much/ work was accomplished, A great ka

in new arrangements for work, the district was a
divided into sections, Bach section was put in charce of a We
Catechist, and the Rev.dacob Cole made responsible for the ea
congregations in Proddatur and the RevsiMatthew Struthers in hae
Janmalamadugt. This year a convention ef for the Deepening of net
Spiritual Life was held in Cuddapah and the meetings were addressed nee
By the ReveVheoler Boggis of the Telugu Baptist Mission and by ie
Sheik Abdul Agizg, other speakers being Dr.Campbell and the Rev.S. ie S
Nicholson. The workers received great benefit from these meetigegs, ie :
14 societies of Christian Endeavour were formed, with an active he

lir,.Cowdy, distressed by the poverty of the Christians Ih
and desiring to help them to obtain a better livelihced started a
a& small Agricultural enterprise, largely at his own expense, but i
after a while this had to be abandoned, as Was the case with the Me
attempt to establish a real industry in Jammalamaduga. i

In 1905 eight new villages were received and elders - aa
were appointed in many of the villages and the affairs of the |
congregations largely handed over to theme Caste distinctions a
still continued to persist in the Christian community, and the a
old divisions of Pckanati, Murakinata, and EBeddl Bhumivaru were ne
. till enforeed, but in some quarters the incongruity of these Wt

A great mexek innovation was made in the institutions F
of Harvest Festivals, which was the result of much thought on the Ce
_ part of Mr.Macfarlane and Mr.MacNair who were concerned that the a

brotherly feeling should be cultivated among the Churches. These es
Harvest Festivals were held, one at Khabrabad near Jammalamadugu AR
and the other at Ghenchapalle near Proddatur. At these Festivals 1
great numbers of people assembled and meetings were held, the He
offerings of the people were received, and the money accruing from Hey |

Indian Christians took no great part in this agitation, but a
indications were not lacking that they had begun to realise their. it

Up to this time the Christians of South India had borne he
the names of the separate Missions with which they were connected, ein
F and thus in the Christian Community there began to evolve something ee
in the shape of caste, distinctions. The leaders of the Christian ye
| Church and European Missionaries believing that this was not in 4
accordance with the splrit of Christ, began to formulate plans Tee
for a South India United Church, Which presently materialised in 1
the form of a Church in which the United Free Church of Scotland, HN
| the American Madura Mission, the Arcot Mission, and the L.elM.S. — it
participated. Thus the distinctions between Christiana of i 3
| different Missions came to an end, and with the rise of the Indian ihe
Church, Indian Ghristlans began to recognise their essential ie 3
brotherhood. | : i

The yoar 1908 was one of great importance in the history | ; ihe
| of India, since Lord Morley and Lord liinto then introduced the Wi
reforms which gave the people increasing share in the @overnment ee
| and in the same way the different Missionary Societies, desiring he
; that the Indian Church should increase, and fit themselves for a
: self-government by self-support, introduced many new methods by Ne
which the people might participate in the Government of the Church. De
Ghe Christian community also began to awake to a sense of responsi- ta
a bility and to indicate willingness to take its share in the general Wy |
work of the congregations. : \ We
The Guddapah district comes second in the whole Presidency Hi
in the matter of extent and population, having an area of 8723 We |
square miles and a population of 1,100,000. The parent Society ‘ie
had first appropriated the whole area, but gradually different We
: portions of it were handed over to other Missions until now the ae
Cuddapah Mission of the leM.S,. consists of 3,800 square miles, ‘in
which there are approx. 18000 Christian people, but there are 70000 Mi
Malas, and over 78000 Madagas, who as yet are outside Christianity, a
leaving out altogether the immense numbers of caste Hindus who so a
far have been little affected. These figures give an indication i
| of ‘the extent to which the district has been evangelisod, but ‘ He

| ' geek, for until 1881 the whole of this vast field was in the charge HM
of one man and he without s“fficient Indian helpers, and with very ie
little money, and conditions like these can hardiy be expected to ee
make for successful work. Subsequently more Missionaries came, \ Me
put they did not all remain, some leaving on account of sickness, \ we
some retiring for dher reasons, and thus it was impossible to carry |

enthusiastic there is no manner of doubt that the Christian te
community might at least have doubled and the Christian Church re
have been brought to a far greater pitch of efficiency. But the tea
division of the congregations into circles and the appointment tie
of Pastors responsible for the carrying on of work in those circles Rea
has resulted in increase of income, in the spread of the Gospel, tee
and in the recognition by the community of their responsibility ER
for the activities and government of the Church. The intro-~ Ta
duction of Harvest Festivais has had a good deal to do with this, ee
and has encouraged a great many in more liberal giving, and truer ae
fellowship in the service of the Church. The advance of the es 4
Christian cormunity in numbers,“education;”“responsibility, and in ie 3
cleanliness, and the gradual change taking place in thelr life as HE :
they became more firmly fixed in the faith, were so remarkable if i
that those who had hitherto regarded them as “untouchables” marvelled ae
at the improvement in their condition, and are being led to wa
admiration of the power of Christ so manifestly working. But Ta
| some of the “baser sort" being envious at thelr phenomenal advance Vk
and fearing that they would lose their services as serfs as they aes
gradually attained to independence, brought pressure to bear on, ve
| then in many villages by persecution and hardship, hoping thorefiiom i
to force them to renounce Christianity, But it was felt that the Hi
best means of realising the hope that some among these would releht, Te
| and themselves become true children of God, was the establishment Hh
6ffthe Christian Church in their midst. Me

But the Missionaries regarded as their chief task ie |
during this year not the inerease in the numbers so much as the Ale

to the framing of regulations for Church activity, to the forming We

of their responsibility for the remaining 900,000 non- Pa
Ghristians of the district, and in company with their Indian He
fellow workers they made great offorts in the preaching of He
the Gospel. the congregations of Yerraguntla and Kamalapuram Wig
showed that they were fully awake to their responsibility Rei
by raising the sum of Rs.500 for the building of a Church in eee

conception of seif-government for the Mission worker and the Whe

Christian life on the part of the Mission worker, the case of ie .

Bhimanapad Shantayya may be quoted. He was a teacher in the He
village of Morayapalle when a severe epidemic of Cholera beoke He
. out which carried off large numbers of people. The whole village He

wé@e panic stricken, and people fled in all directions, and ce
those who remained Were so terrified that they built themselves ae

sbtpcle ore Pag took up his abode in a little grass hut. he ie

NANDYAL & GOOTY MISSION. 1853 - 1896. ae
Ane 1
CHAPTER 7. ab i
ic
Re eae
Nendyal is one of the chief towns of the Kurnool District, Pe
and the headquarters of a Taluk of the same name. Lt is famous a
for its trade, and is situated close to the Nallamalla Hills, Bae
in a broad stretch of very fertile country, sprinkled with many Ap ip
| villages. It has a population of 10,000 and is the Headquarters aa
; of the chief Government Officials. it formerly belonged to ae j
the Nawab, and there was a famous palate belonging to him in ie 3
the Town in the old days. Nandyal lies 50 miles to the South an |
of Lurnool and about 100 miles to the north-west of Cuddanpah. abe
ea
As we have already seon a Mala belonging to Rudravaram i
in the Sirvel Taluk was a prisoner in Cuddapah in 1840 where he nue |
came under the observation of Rev.Wm.Howell, and through him ae
learned something of Christianity and being afterwards baptized ane
; in the name of Abraham, he became a follower of Christ. He ae
returned from Cuddapah to his own villace,rand made known to his He
| own people what he had seen and heard, and proclaimed|these (ahaa
\ tidings to the people of the surrounding villages and'to his ei
own relatives. This little light grew amid thtehe, darkness i
in accordance with the promise that the smoking flax shall not ee
) be quenched, and in 1851 some Malas of Paidala in the Proddatur. ee
Taluk, and in 1852 some Malas of Abdulapuram saw the lisht and an
accepted Christianity, and from that day the Gospel has spread Bi
ovér a very wide area. Very soon the people of Polur a village Ne
close to Nandyal, and Jutur, sent two of their leaders a distance ay
of 100 miles to Cuddapah to interview the Rev.Edward Porter and Bl |
learn from him mo-mre concerning the religion; and made known ay
to him the requesty¢ that they should be received without delay i
into the Christian community. Mr.Porter immediately sat out aR
upon a. tour to that part of the country, and in 1853 on the a |
| 11th Sept. he visited Polur and there baptized one, Singadu el
who took Moses as his baptismal name. Mr.Porter visited the At
surrounding villages preaching the Gospel and at the conclusion bi
of his tour returned to Cuddapah. Two months later he arain a
visited that part of the country and baptized about 40 in Polur i
visiting also Jutur, Koilakuntha, Perusommula, Peddaventurla, a
) and cther villages, baptizing large numbers. ll
aE
At that time Joseph Cole of Masayapet near Cuddapah at
was toacher in Pobur and Jacob Cole teacher in Jutur. The oe
GCatechists Prajapati, Joseph Mason, and Andrew Fuller, visited TI
Chinna Venturla in turn from Cuddapahs At that time there ne
wore about 70 baptized adherents in Chinna Voenturla, and in 1854 re
Moses Williams, who had been in Cuddapah was raised to the rank AW
q Catechist and sent to Ohinna Venturla. He made that place his ae
: headquarters, his work being to take the oversight of congregations an :
c in the surrounding neighbourhood. Mr. Williams therefore removed ah

to Chinna Venturla and began the work which he carriedon ie
with such seal, , ae
Ae
| ee In this year also Mr.Porter visited Nandyal, admon- HT
| ishing the Christians, and receiving many on confession of he
| their faith to baptism, preaching the Gospel with great ine
| enthusiam to Ghristiansand non-Christians alike. Thus the at
| work increased from day to day, and it became impossible for thee
| a European Missionary living in Cuddapah at a distance of 100 ine :
| miles, which had to be covered on foot, or by hired carts, to hi oS
| efficiently supervise the work, and for the sake of the workere ae 3
| and to provide for furthesr extension, the Board appointed a :
| ReV»R.DeJOhnnNsOn as a colleague to Mr.Porter, and transferred ae
| lir.Johnson from Vigagapatam to Cuddapah. Ve
| Mr.Johnson went to Vigagapatam in 1839 as an Assistant oe |
| Missionary and after doing excellent work there, on the 153th ana
| April 1843, he, together with Mr.William Dawson, was ordained Ba

| at Vizagapatams When hovelm.Howell withdrew from the work in le
Guddapah, Mr.Johnson, together with Rev.J.W,Gordon, joined a
the Cuddapah Mission. lir.Johnson came to Cuddapah, and co- a
operated with Mr.Porter for a year, and then, when sanction ae
was received from the Board to make Nandyal a Headquarter Ate
| Station "the Palace of Colours", belonging to the Nawab was a
: bought, and lir.Johnson took up his abode in Nandyal in 1855, a
| a
| When tir.-Johnson t ok over the work at Nandyal there wore At
| about 200 who had received baptism, 47 who were Catedumens, and. A ii 4
7 communicants, the whole community consisting of three a
villageg congregations. Mredohnson, Like Rev.Wm.Dawson, had ae
| an extrodinary knowledge ©f Telugu and was an exceptionally aa
| good preacher. He began his work With two teachers, whom Hii
| he had brought from Vijianagar, and,Palakonda B.Tammayya as 1 8
| Catechist. They began their work by starting schools in two hl
| villages, where work was so successful that thers were §4 A
children under instruction. Some amouxgt of evangelistic ai
work had been done in the district before lir.Johnson came, ll |
but being in permanent residence from the time he began his a
work he was constantly touring among the adjacent villages on iE
| all sides making known the Gospel of the grace of God. at
| There was no one among those who had embraced Christianity . a
| ablé to do scho@l work or to teach those who desired ko be |
| placed under instruction, but Mr.Johnson, seeing signs of a cn
ereat movement, made plans for the training of those who a
| “would be needed as teachers, and for their training started a nt
| Boarding scho.1 in which. few boys were being trained who, ae
| when they were old enough quate beturned to their villages a
to prepare their papple for the expected advance, by imparting | Ba
ordinary education and by means of religious instructione al

village congregations, one Catechist and a Reader, two village ae
i teachers, 204 baptized adherents, and 284 under instruction. ii
: Aftor 4 years of very strenuous work Mr.Johnson was called abies
upon to take charge of the Cuddapah Mlssion from the Rev. he
| award Borter who was due to proceed on furlough. He Hy
continued to live in Nandyal and by the help of his Catechiets ABE
ho supervise the work of Nandyal and Guddapah lMissions, i
continued his evangelistic preaching, and carried on the work by
of the boarding home until at the end of 1861 Mr.Porter ee
; revurned onee again, and Mr.Johnson was relieved of the burden, an
A 8
ee lir.Johnson by the help of his Indian colleagues ne 5
Tammayya, Narasiah, and Andrew Fuller did an extensive ta a
evangelistic work, and established schools in the villages ane
they visited. David Tammayya was appointed chief Catechist ae
and began his work in 1864. an
a |
Thus the work continued to Increase until at the aa
end of 7 years there were 7 congregations, 8 schools, 156 Hie
_. scholars, 450 people under instruction, and 28 communicants, ae
In 1864 there were thoughts of making Kurnool the headquarters a
4 of she Missionary, and a Catechist and Reader were sent there aan
to minister to the needs of the Christians éngaged in different ae
offices, and for the evangelization of the surrounding a
| country, but after a time the American telugu Baptists made Py
| Kurnool a main station, and we hatided over our work there to i
them. Ai
, Di
Every year extensive tours were made in company a
D with Indian colleagues and the Gospel was preached with great af
enthusiam, and with few exceptions the people in every place an
gathered to hear preaching and lir.Johnson entertained great a
| hopes of future developments. | , a
. a
ay |
In 1868 Venturla and surrounding districts was : oa
: incorporated in the Nandyal Mission, and the Rov.lioses rl
Williams took up his residence in Chinna Venturia, and in a
association with Mr.Johnsen carried on extensive work. aA |
a
‘he increase of the work in Nandyal Mission may be Bi
| estimated from the fact that there were now 11 village at
wongregations, 4 Catechists, 6 teachers, 6 schools, 152 I)
pupils, 40 communicants, 580 baptized Christians, and 200 A) ;
under instruction. ig

In 1870 lir.Johmson took leave on furlough and went to ae
England and lir.lawbey of Cuddapah was placed in charge of ie
the work in N andyad . lire edchnson remained in N andyad » and aq Hi
with the help of the Rev-Moses Williams and other Migsion AM |
workers was able to carry on all departments of the work as a

; of the year there were 729 baptized and unbaptised Christians ea
and at the end of the year they were 712 baptized people, pee
and 878 under instruction,making a total of 1590 reckoned as Tee
Christians. There were also 25 village congregations. a
As in Guddapah, so in Nandyal Mission there were many ee
: villages clammering for teachers but on account of financial he
stringency it was impossible to bring in promising boys from | eae
the villages and train them for Christian work. Mp .Johnecn ee

the endeavour to stamp out Christianity in two villages cha

the Christians so that they might be driven to renounce ea
Christianity. Thus instigated the Madica mob gathered Tea
and in broad daylight attacked the’ Christians of Jutun, * ae
broke into their houses, smashed thelr looms, shattered aR ee
their pots, and carried off whatever came to their hands. aa
: in such times cof trial it was natural that the Chriatians ‘ au
should regard the Missionaries mach more as their helpers anae
than the government officials, and there are many who retain ’ ; ie i
that attitude to the present day. Not only so, but many of a id

still clung to their old ceremonies and continued to give de
their Christian children in marriage to non-Christians, and a
they were only inadequately acquainted with the truths of ae :
Christianity. ae

; On 17th April 1876 iMrs.Johnson fell asleep, to the grekt le
a loss of the Nandyal Mission, to the indescribable grief of ae

7 served. lane Johnson had earned the gratitude of her Indian, Bt

: and her geal in the work, her care for the poor, her sympathy i
With thse sick, and her boundless faith in God, gave her a Att

that at her burial service hundreds of Christians and non- ai

; In this district, «s in others famine was prevalent _. ae
j and like the Christians of the Cuddapah district, the aa
Christians at Kurnool also sufferfed great distress. A A
great many of them went to other places in the endeavour to a
make.a livelihood, but many of them were carrisd off by ae |
death. The work of the village schools greatly decreased qi
because the boys and girls were employed as Coolies on i
Famine Test Works, and 100 people who had been under instruction Wy
during this year in preparation for baptism were scattored, 4 i
s0 that by the stress of famine one might almogt say that the a
work of the Mission came to a standstill. ae

It was in this year that a friend of Mr.Gershom Williams, a
a son 6f Hev.Moses Williams, a Brahmang belonging to Managuda an

Ghristian . This man had long been interested in Christianity 7m
and had read many Christian books, and discussed the Christian i |
religion with many people and now on his deathbed he professed a

At that time Mr.Moses Williams was visiting hie son, and a

ir. Johnson. ike

This year also famine conditions prevalled and a he
great many of the people left Por other districts in search 4B a
Of work, and @ great many fell victims to severe poverty iB 7

When MrsJohnson retired in 1876 the whole burden of Hh

“~redohnson had laboured for 16 years in tes Vizagatapatan a

Even in his retirement he did what he could for the work and Ae
the people, especially remembering their poverty, by ve

of the Mission and with the help of MrsMoses Williams, and ae

Â¥ Up to the year 1885 the Rev.lidward Porter had baptized AR
F 800 people as We have already seen and the development ee ;
: from then until 1880 can be seen from an examination ef the a 4
above table. Let us look at the difference in the figures Hh
for 1868 and 1880 and note that in the 12 years 600 people tee
had received baptien. in 1876 there Were 120 Church membérs ea
and 94] baptized Christians, but there was a great decrease in i
numbers between 1876 and 1880, which is accounted for xe by ‘neg |
the prevalence of famine. rom 1877 to 1879 there was a i
decrease of about 4 in the number of members and one third ie
' of baptized adherents. But we must not set too high a re
P value upon figures, but rejoice that God accomplished so a
be much in this district to His service, for although all those i
a who became Christians cannot with truth be said to have bem Bie
sincere followers of Christ yet the majority of them had some a
i little knowledge of the Christian life and some had a fuller A
| Christian experience, whilst there was an arfent desire ae
among the poople to be placed under instruction, but it Was ie
impossible to take advantige of the opportunity owing to the A
lack of young men fit to be trained for positiong°@ teachers. Va

| There were many things that pointed to the desirability 1h
of a change in the headquarters of the Nandyal Mission. ay
: Nandyal was not them on the, railway. The work was ee
apreading to the South? Mad” alongside the Guddapah district a :
which made its supervision a work of considerable we
difficulty. The tiission bungalow in Nandyal was entirely ; u
F unsuitable and the question is to the desirability of Ti
building a new bungalow in Nandyal akkkew or locating the Ai:
liissionar ies headquarte’s in some other place, pressed for Ane
immediate settlement .« To investigate this mattor the uae
district committee?pointed & subecommittes at the request oe at
of lir.Stephenson, and in Oct.1880 ir.Lewis, Mr.Mawbey, and Hl
Mr.Bacon visited Nandyal, and made a careful study of the ae
position coming to the conclusion that, on account of the i)
} reason named above it would be advisable for the missionary. i
to make his headquarters at Gooty, amttxixxkkexkaxunanx An
Acceptijig the recommendation of the sub-committee the ae
Board of Directors sanctioned the transfer from Nandyal to a
Gooty, and lir,Stephenson secured an old Government bungalow ah

? But it may be well to state the reasons why Gocty was chosen 1a
} as the Headquarters of the Mission. Gooty is 96 miles ah
: from Cuddapah and 50 miles from Bellary, on the railway which eee
F joins the two Migsions. From the Eastern boundary of the ie
: Cuddapah liission to the western bourdary of the Bellary lission Ean
is something like 300 miles, and there was no other Socisty a
: of any sort doing any work whatever in that wide area. Moreover ee ell
: it is a district in which the Telugu and Kanarese Missions Ei
F touch each other. The Gooty Mission is about 4500 sauare ay
F miles in extent, and beside small hamlets there are something He bs
ey like 700 considerable villages, and Gooty itself is an ancient ie j
F Town, of much historic interest and stands at the junction of eh a
roads which lead to Bangalore, Bellary, Cuddapah, Pattlkonda, Te
and Kurnool, and thus is much more favourably situated for the aha
Oversight of the work among the villages than was Nandyal, TRe i a
town of Gooty is supposed to’derive its name from Gauthama ae
Buddha, and is dominated by a strong fort bullt by Krishna nae
| Devarayadu in the 14th century. fwenty years later the ae
: Mahommedans beseiged the fort for 12 years, and had it in le
: their peéssession for 50 years. Subsequently in the 18th a
century it fell into the hands of the saharastras. Morari Rao, a
i one of their leaders, repaired the fort, and during his reign, A
Me in 1776, Haider All invaded the district and beseiged the fort a
for 9 months. Owing to scarcity of water the beleagéred : ui |
garrison was compelled to surrender, and-in 1799 the British hei
F defeated Haider Ali's son, Tippoo Sultan, and took the fort aa
| from him. The graves of 100 British soldiers who were killed ah
in this action are in the cemetery at the foot of the fort hill, Ve
and in that cemetery also was buried Sir Thomas Munroe, who aa
at one time was Collector of the District and afterwards i
Governor of Madras, and who died at Pattikonda, a few miles ne
Pe distant from Gooty, from an attack of Cholera on June 7th 18287. A
% In his memory a large Well wac mukxkk dug and a spacious Ghoultry ae
: for the accommodation of travellers of all castes was built by i
the fovernment. A
It may be wéll to make ourselves acquainted with i
the work that had teen done in this nelghbourhood previous to ae
the arrival of lir.Stephenson.. We have seen in the history aN
of the Cuddapah Mission that the Rev.dohn Hands who established iit
work in Bellary in 1910 was accustomed to visit Uuddapah. In il
| his time there was no railway and the journey had to be done Hy
by Palanquin. lr,.Hands was accustomed to camp at Gooty, a
which at that time was a British teeees Cantonment and was in Me
| the habit of taking services for the British troops. For a a
few years after Cuddapah became a llission Headquarters Mr.Hands Hap
was accustomed still to visit Gooty, and not only he, but neh
, Mr.Howell, lir.Shreives, iir.Porter and others camped at Gooty = ol
as they passed to and fro from Cudidapah to Bellary and vice versa. 7

| Kanarese District probably half the people speak Telugu and en
half Kamarese, and the language of the Courts is Teluru and ae

have from the first learned not only Kanarese but also Telusu.,ff , Ie
Among these Mr,Hands Mr.Shrieves, Dr.Wardlaw, and Mr.Lewis all lees A al
attained facility in Telueu, preached in it, and wave able to hae
edit Telugu books, and give considerable help in the literary ef oe tiae

p way to VCuddapah but supervised the work of the Cuddapah Mission AR i
, and r.Wardlaw and Mr.Lewis visited the Hastern part of the ee f
Cuddapah Mission and did all their work in Telugu, in 1872 a ‘
lire Lewis travelled in Adoni, Allur, Gooty, Anantapur, Dharmavaran, At
| and Péikonda Taluks,. in Bukkapatnam in Penukonda Taluk a man a
by the name of Sitarama accepted Christianity and zealously ee .
preached the Gospel of Christ to the people of his village. Tela |
In 1876 Adoni and Gcoty were made out-Stations, and in that same u
year lir-Lewis opened an Anglo-Vernacular School in Gooty, so ae
k that when Ur.Stephenson came to reside in Gooty there was already a
F some amount of work going on, and extensive evangelistic work ee
had been going forward in the Town of Gooty itself. Since ae
. Kir.Stephenson took ap his residence in Gooty the work of the ee
aa “Mission had been carried on uninterruptedly and extensive a
evangelistic work has been done in the district, schools have a
been established in the villages and the work has made continued a
) progress. a
‘4
in 1882 a Deputation consisting of Rev,.Vardlaw Thompson a
and Mr.Albert Spicer came to Gooty, and spent four days there, va :
enquiring into many important matters. On thpir way to i
Cuddapah they visited Tadpatri, and saw a number of the Mission Ht
workers and members of the village congregations who had vee
gathered to meet them. They afterwards moved on to Cuddapah. Hh |
As the Directors were able during the year to give larger grants P|
the staff of Mission workers, was inereased from 4 to 7, but | |
lir,Mlatthew Seth, who had for many years done excellent work in | 1
) Tadpatri, died a victim to tuberculosis, and Rev.iioses Williams, |
who had done such vigorous evangelistic work in the neighbourhood i
of Chinna Venturla, was called in to take his place, and took up )

This is perhaps the best place to refer to Balayya At

influence of Rev.iloses Williams and had read literature received ae

was baptized by Rev.Edward Porter in Cuddapah, in the name of Bi

brother, who all became Christians. He was & great singers; a al
