THE PILGRIM MISSION AT ST. CHRIS- ®§ONAF®BAEfi^I^iSWITZEELAND. Many of our readers have, doubtless, fre quently heard of the above institution, and tftU-mnrejor less intfeilhßt in its operations. It is one of those enterprizes which cannot fail to secure a strong bold upon the affec tions of all wh < o > are4nt,eres ! te4„in^e 1 gress of the Kingdom of phrist. Iy hasJ’al ready been the means of doing much good, and promises to do still more in future. It has recently issued a statement of its objects and doings, accompanied with an appeal to the Chmfflfkn public, in both the German anatEnglffifi languages. We append a copy of*the, mJeffiment. * The Pilgrim-Mission at St. Chrischona, neiafcßasle, liljß in 184-o;?faith triumphing overmiaqKdiffi<ies, both at evw sineS. IfrpuipSse il’: to prepare-and send forth youths, who love the fjord JeßiiS Christ,- add desire to serve Him in the building,up of His. Church, through -6x?i‘'l . i To this end from sixty to seventy bre tfTOSSff coars f a suitable education. They dwell on the beautiful hill St. Chrischona, not far from Basle, in three houses and an old Church, the latter of which was benevolently ceded by the government. Though there are nearly always some students that study either Greek or Hebrew, or both, in order to read the Sacred Scriptures in their original languages, yet ancient languages are not ge nerally taught; but of modern ones the Ger man, English, Arabic, and French. What we think to be the most important thing, is: a simple, practical knowledge of the Bible, which is carefully taught in the College; and facility, in proclaiming its blessed truths, for which there is abundant oppor tunity in about sixty villages and towns of its immediate neighborhood. i But that, which forms the peculiar cha racter of the Pilgrim-Mission, is the way in which its students combine various kinds, of I manual work with their studies. Nearly seventy acres of land and meadows are being cultivated by their hands, and all the clothes and shoes for the Institution are made upon the premises. The brethren bake! own bread, take care of the gardens and'stables, mafiage the kitchen, the washing apd all the rest of the household work. A smith, locksmith, and cartwright’sshop fur nish all that is necessary for the house and farm. The Institution possesses now, too, a Printing-Establishment, at which bookbinq- ] ing is also done. The well-known and Very edifying Periodical, “Basie Collections for Lovers of Christian Truth and (godliness,’' the Society’s own paper, is alßOprjnted here. Its circulation promotes the interest of our cause in a twofold way. V ' i: ' Another peculiarity in the chi.racter >of the,Pilgrim-Mission is, that the tiaohers of the institution, together with the students, sent forth into their own mission-i.eld, have no salary, but are satisfied with .he Apos tle’s ration: “having food and-.raiment let us be therewith content.” ' As regards the brethren, sent o ferent parts of the world, their lab variojuS kinds. ‘ About one hum twenty of them are pastors and sc ters (generally combined), among man countrymen in North and So rica.

Certain great land proprietors in Litbua nia employ four of our brethren, either,.as schoolmasters or as Evangelists, among the peasants, on their large estates. v '■ One is pastor at the German Colony of Amasia, in Asia Minor. ' Bishop Gobat superintends six pr seven brethren in Palestine, and five as'pay-Mis sionaries and artisans in Abyssinia.!. The Pilgrim-Mission gccupie§..|,,i;pyesei}t. three fiejds of labor of its own, viz.: Pales tine, Egypt with Nubia,, and the Galla country yi Central Africa. As regards Palestine, there exists at Jeru salem: , 1. A mercantile business, conducted by some merchant brethren, .with a branch bu siness at Jaffa, They enjoy general esteem, as men of business, on the part of the native population,•pong whom they live as “the salt of the earth.” They entirely support themselves by their own earnings, and ’ma terially’ promote our Mission in the East. The two Heads of the firm (C. F. Spittler~& Co.) are at, thesame (time^-members 1 pf,?our Local Committee- ai; Jerusalem, pr'ebided over by, Bishop Gob%t. - , ~5 Z. 'An'MyWm for Syrian Orphan'Boys, 1 at present fifty-five, who, after their school education, are taught some trade at the In stitution. In Egypt the Pilgrim-Mission pursues a , plan, conceived some yeans ago, of forming a chain of twelve settlements, called the .Apostolic 'Highway , along the Nile, all through Egypt and Nubia, partly for the 1 purpose of evangelizing the country around, partly to facilitate the intercourse with Abyssinia, wKeretiTe Prdtbstdht Mission, se veral years ago, found a new entrance. The twelve’stations are expected to contribute Something to their self-support by agricul ture, industry, and trade. Whatever the I Lord is pleased to give us in the way of honest earning, beyond satisfying the most necessary wants of life, will go towards the sustenance of the work and its extension. The’posts,,hitherto established, are, Cairo, the Capital of Egypt (called St, Marc). This station,possesses a school of twenty to thirty boys, who are taught in Arabic and-English; opportunities, too', for regularly preaching the,Gospel both in German and Arabic, and for spreading the word of God by means of the colportage. Matammah, near the Abys sinian Western frontier (called jj>t. Paul), together with its' oUt-Ctatibn, Gedarif, is oc cupied like the first by two or three mission aries. The brethren here hate been , en gaged with agriculture and trade, and the public; sale of the Sacred Scriptures,-espe cially to Abyssinians. Kartoom (called- St; Thomas). By the purchase of the house of the ‘former Austrian Consul, this /station possesses'a house with good accommodations and premises. This popt is of the utmost importan e for the Mission, as by its favo rable situation it facilitates communication both with Abyssinia, by means of the Blue, and with : Central Africa, by means of the White Nile. Likewise many African Tribes may easily b'e’reached from this place. This station possesses a nice school, and Bible reading has lately begun here from house to house. Alexandria; it possesses a vei-y,pro mising. school, and offers welcome opportu nities to -preach the Gospel in various/lan guages. Esne, together with its out-station,) Assuan—here - fair opportunities offeV for thei.Cloipßiitaige.-j'Berberrfollows next to be occupied; it offers the welcome opportunity to open a Mission among a new, peculiar and interesting tribe of the Hamitic family. As soon, therefore, as the Committee are possessed of the means, they will endeavor to make good their promise, to form a Mis sionary settlement also in Berber. The means required for the maintaining of the one atd the establishing of the other half of these twelve poßts, are, and will, still be considerable. The sooner, however, the whole line of stations is completed, the easier will be their mutual intercourse and means of self-support. But for outfits, journeys, and first arrangements, at the new stations, sympathizing hearts and minister ing hands are wanted. In tb the foregoing, -yve deem it but just to state, that the Committee of the Pilgrim-Mission have also sent nine brethren to establish Missions in a different direction from the above. _ Of these nine brethren six havq firstßeen sent, at the mpst urgent reque&t of an extra ordinary zealous missionary fiien<i in Eng land, and nearly altogether at his expense. Two of them to establish a Mission among the Galla,' South of Abyssinia, beyond the Egyp tian province Fasogli, along the banks of the Blue Mile. . Two others, a Mission among the Denka or Bari Tribes, who inhabit Cen tral* Africa* along the banks of the White Nile. Two others,, again, have first, been sent on* an . Exploratory Mission,-to ascer tain the feasibility of establishing themselves 'alhnjg the banks of the river Sabat, in Cen tral Africa, too. The last three of the nine brethren have' been ordered t<J establish a Mission also-.among the Galla Nation, a measure contemplatedby the Gommitteo of the Pilgrim-Mission* from the beginning. As to'this Undertaking, they arfe muCh 'en cburaged by the ‘circumstance, that by' the mysterious leadings of Providence four Af rican, youths, one from the West, ope from Abyssinia, one from Central Africa,.and one fromthe Galla Nation came to St.Ghrisc.hona, to receive the blessings tif Christianity and civilization, and 1 to* be preparbd'for future Missionary usefulness in their' They .shouldfeel’exceedingly grateful to the Lord, if, He would.vouchsafe to : them the means not o,nly of completing the education of these four youths, but' also to prepare gradually a still larger number of natives to become fit fellow-laborers on the large Mis sion .fields- of Eastern, Central, antj Western .Africa. - . ... it to dif- Jors are of •Ired and 1 hool-mas- our Ger uth Ame are labor ed other icieties. >■ 1 are en- Switzer gaged as gn Bible 1 Sacred i Arabia . A single glance at the,above picture of the nature, importance and extent .of our work must suffice to convince any. benevolent friend' of the greatness of our responsibili ties and obligations; nor will the deaf friends that usually take a lively interest in the prosperity of our. work, withhold from us. their kindest sympathies, when we have to lay beforethem ai deficit of 1,200 to 2,000 pounds sterling, chiefly occasioned by hon oring with-our acceptance the several bills, lately presented to us for payment on ac count-of our Egyptian Mission. Wherever it, is possible, the brethren dili gently: endeavor to follow out our original plan of self-support; —Btilly "aa* most, ot the stations are but of recent date, when this ‘plan requires even .more support than the common mission work; and again, as both living and Souse-rent have become exces sively dear in Egypt, we could not expect a more favorable result; and are, therefore, qonstraiued to appeal to the benevolent feel ings of the friends of Mission kindly to re gard ouf hppeal, and to assist in easing us of our burden. ! 1 dividual Arid may the Lord, who has hitherto so sig nally blessed the labors of this Society, open the .hearts-of those who read this paper, thst;tbey may-be willing to contribute to a work which the Lord is thus prospering. Let us not forget that we have souls before us, who are to be saved, —immortal souls, who are ffede’eined by the blood : of "Christ from sin, ,death,' and damnation, but who dither do riot yet know their Saviour, ,o,b . have no affection for Him. , - , The Lord, who wjlj.eth that His kingdom shall come to all nations, is sure to give an abundant blessing to-all those that are zea lous in helping on this holy cause. / Basle, July, 1867.
