Life and religion of the Hindoos. : $b With a sketch of my life and experience.

Hindus; India -- Social life and customs
On the second of October I removed to Boston, to Mrs. M----’s, in
Allen Street, and there stayed until the twentieth of January. Then
my course was toward Medfield, Mass., a place not so charming as
Lunenburg, but it has more people in it. My host and teacher here was
Rev. S. W. Bush, who is said to be, and I am sure is, an excellent
scholar and good Christian. As my stay with him has been longer
than with others in this country, I had a good chance to notice his
fatherly love for me, and his sanguine interest in the cause of Truth.
Every morning and evening, while at home, his prayer has unceasingly
risen to the Throne of Mercy for my welfare, and for the success of
the Gospel in all countries. His wife, as far as I can judge, is a
remarkable woman, social, refined, wise, literary, and good. Both
the husband and the wife have contributed much towards my mental and
spiritual culture. The people in this town of Medfield were kind to
me, a stranger, and nothing has happened during my sojourn among them
to pain my feelings. Besides Mr. Bush and wife, there were a good old
lady and daughter,--the owner of the house we lived in, who were not in
the least slow to confer their blessings and helps whenever I needed
them. The other clergymen of the place, one a Baptist and the other
Orthodox, were not wanting in the spirit of love in their acquaintance
with me. Our good brother, Rev. Mr. Sewell, deserves my regards and
notice too. He is a Unitarian clergyman, preaching to the Society in
Sharon. Besides his ministerial labors he does a great deal to promote
the welfare of his fellows, and is connected with several beneficent
institutions. He is an experienced farmer, a judicious manager of
the schools, and a good, kind gentleman. I have had the pleasure of
spending several happy hours with this Christian man.
