This is the story of his dangerous and difficult life among the Indian tribes in their tree-dark country--of his work of conversion, of his efforts to teach the Indians rules of health and to set them free...

All persons should be defined by their character alone. America has completely disregarded the Bible and the God-given laws it holds. We no longer do what is right in God's eyes.
