HOTTENTOTS. Groenekloof, 40 miles N of Cape Town-1808-four missionaries; 41 persons had been admitted to church privileges in the year ending with April, 1838.-Genadendal, 139 miles E by N of Cape Town-1736, renewed in 1792 -Bishop Hallbeck, superintendent of the missions, and five missionaries; communicants, 644; candidates, 114; baptized, 113 adults and 400 children; the foundation stone was laid in Nov. 1887, of a building intended for a Training School for Hottentot Assistants, which is to be 74 feet by 23, and of two stories.-Hemel-en-Aarde, near Caledon, a Hospital, supported by the Government, for the cure of lepers-1823—one || missionary; patients, 82.-Elim, near Cape Aiguilla, with an Out-station at Houtkloof -1824-two missionaries; communicants, 100.—Enon, near Algoa Bay-1818-three missionaries; in the course of the year "3 adults were baptized, 9 received into church fellowship, and 2 admitted to the holy communion."

The quarrels among the various tribes who live here are far less frequent than in former years. Both church and school are numerously attended.

No. 4. of several inland tribes, that have been almost annihilated by their more powerful neighbors. It is worthy of remark that the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor of the colony, made the application for the forming of this new station, expressing their earnest wish that it might be commenced without delay. Summary. Stations, 7; missionaries, exclusive of females, 20; converts of the Hottentot, Caffre, Tambookie, and other native tribes, 3577; of whom 1176 are communicants.-Miss. Reg., 1839. The Synodal Committee, reviewing the state of their missions in 1837, thus speak of the stations in South Africa : Our missionary sphere is extending in almost every direction. The population of Shiloh, our most distant station, had already, last summer, exceeded the sixth hundred, and it was still on the increase; the permanent settlement of these nomadic Tambookies, and their related tribes, is yet, indeed, a matter of uncertainty; but they appear very sensible of the advantages of a more agricultural and stationary mode of life; and though the number of real converts increases very slowly, the latter shew themselves well grounded and settled in their faith, and the children evince a great eagerness for instruction. The Fingoes, who have recently emigrated from Caffraria, are also in need of Christian Instruction; and, in compliance with a request from Government, our brethren are about to commence a mission station for them on the Zitzikamma, which will, at the same time, afford a convenient retreat for the surplus population of Enon, whom the in 13 |
