James Liddell Phillips (1840–1895) was a medical and religious missionary. Born in Balasore, India, Phillips always considered himself an "Indian boy."[1] His father, Jeremiah Phillips, was also a medical and religious missionary whose work inspired James. After his teen and young adult years, which he spent in America, he returned to India as a missionary, where he worked intensively with many tribes in Bengal, India, especially the Santal tribes.[2] He held medical clinics and sermons, ran a newspaper, founded the Bible School in Midnapore, and started many Sunday schools, to name a few of his accomplishments. Phillips died on June 25, 1895, in Mussoorie, India.[3] The last thing he wrote in his journal before his death was “May God bless the Sunday School message to the young!”[1]
