The First Sabbath Of the Pilgrims.

1t was in December 1920 that the ship
Mayfower, which brought over tn e first emf
grafton of Puritans, anchored on the wild
New England shore. There were none to
show them kindness, or bid them welcome
A boat was sent from the vessel to explore
the coast, and seek favorable landing She
was manned by the bravest hearts and
stoutest arms. The cold was severe, and the
spray froze as it fell on them making their
clothes like iron coats No convenient harbor
was vet discovered.
After some hours of hard sailing, a itorm
of sleet and snow sets in night is at hand,
the swels, the storm increased, the rIdder
splits, the mast bends and breaks and the
sail falls overheard. the frightened
pilot would have run the boat ashore in a
cove full of breakers About herr shouts
one of the sailors, 'or we are lost They
hasten to obey their order; the boat rises
! over the serf, and is soon under the lee of
land 1t is dark, and the storm RACES furious
ly. Hungry and wet, cold and tired, the
men creep ashore, and after much difficulty
kindled fire When morning dawned, they
found themselves on a small island at the en-
trance of a harbor, which proved to be Ply
mouth harbor; and here they spent the day,
from their fatigue, and repair their bnt
The next day the Sabbath. Time was pre-
cious. it was late in the season and their COM
rades in the ship might suffer anxiety On their
! accounts: everything demanded haste, but
they remembered the Sabbath day to keep it
holy" All labor was put aside, and on a
frozen ground in chilly air, under frown-
ing sky, without shelter and almost without
food, they spent the day in divine worship
and holy rest. Here is picture of the first
observance of the Sabbath in New England.
There are Carver and Winslow, and Bradford
and Standish, honored names among the Pu-
ritan fathers. They do not ask to be excus-
ed from the obligations of religious duty,
even under circumstances so pressing and un-
favorable. The Sabbath and the God of the
Sabbath, have claims upon them superior to
anything besides. Strict and unfinching
obedience to Bible law, is the rule of their
/ lives.
These were puritan principles, and it was
these principles which gave excellence and
honor to the New England forefathers, and
which now give to her institutions their mo-
raj power Let not their children prove un-
| faithful to to them.
