Description: Rev. John Scudder was born in Freehold, New Jersey, and was educated at the College of New Jersey (1811) and the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York (1813). He established a successful medical practice in New York, and in 1816 married Harriet Waterbury. He sailed for Ceylon in 1819 as the first medical missionary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM). In 1836 Scrudder was transferred to Madras, from where he did extensive touring. He spent 1842 to 1846 on health furlough in the United States, where he promoted missions with great success. Returning to India, he worked three years at Madura, then at Madras until 1845, when he went to South Africa on health leave, where he died. Rev. Scudder published many tracts in Tamil and English. A copy of the Lord's prayer in Tamil is included in this book. The book is written as a sermon to children about the "heathen Hindoo" practices he encountered during his years of missionary work in India. Numerous illustrations depict these horrific practices.
