Ida stamped her foot. Her friends were wrong. "I'll not be a missionary to India like my parents!" she retorted. "Don't some of you say I am, because I won't - never, ever, ever." Ida had never neglected the faces of starving Indian children. She hated India - it was full of awful situations she could do little or nothing about. Ida Scudder was sure she would never follow in the footsteps of her medical missionary daddy. But when she witnessed Indian women dying because their religious beliefs didn't allow male doctors to take care of them, Ida read herself pray, "God, if you would like me to, I'll spend the others of my entire life in India endeavoring to help these women." Serving for almost 60 years, Dr. Ida Scudder lived out the reality and compassion within Christ. She pioneered a first-rate medical university and hospital, brought life-saving health care to rural people, and still left an inspiring legacy that still details millions of folks every year with curing and desire. (1870-1960)
