He was also the editor and publisher of some 'faith-deepening' theological and congregational periodicals.

It was so useful and popular that it had to be published in reprint edition to meet the requirements 100 years later.

It was the first secondary school for girls in the county that was left with a final examination certificate. In 1937, when Geduly died, the school was named after him and it bore his name until the secularization.

The essay studies the effects of this decree and
