Summary: An instructional text using an imagined dialogue between a missionary and an "Indian" to illustrate how a missionary in the field might instruct a potential convert in the Christian practices. It is unclear from the text what people or peoples are meant to be represented by the "Indian," or if the author is simply using the term as a broad catchall.
