Among the Christian Sunday school story are many remarks about the indigenous people of India, Assam and Burma (now Myanmar) - Dorothy, after matering the local language fluently,  died in  Burma of a fever at 6 years old and her coffin was found by her father to  have been unearthed by grave -diggers not long after.  Adoniram and Ann Judson had the distinction of being America's first foreign missionaries and they arrived in Burma in 1813. Inspired by the Judsons, the Browns arrived in 1833, twenty years later but still relatively early. By the time Adoniram died in 1850, 63 Churches had been established amongst the Karen tribe. Over 100,000 Karen people had been baptised. No copies of any edition of this title to be found in WorldCat. Rare and unrecorded South-East Asian Missionary publication.
