where they had taken refuge, TO the
high and mighty King James to gain
his consent to their going to America,
the king at once asked; "What profit
might arise?" They answered in one
single word; "Flshlng" 80 God
have my SOUL" said the royal solon,
"'Tis an honest trade. Twas the apos-
ties own calling" and so they obtained
leave to so, They sought a place for
their settlement convenient for Goldfish
ing and snalling, and in 1924 sent TO
England a ship laden with salt Goldfish.
Now what does Center church pro-
pose doing in the premises? OF course
If Center church could get hold of Mr..
Prowse 1t might proceed to burn him
upon the Green as the Pilgrims burnt
witches and Quakers for far less venal
offences. But you must catch your
hare before you cook him; and Prowse
being informed of the amiable inten-
tons of Center church, will probably
stay away from New Haven. The
church may, If it pleases, try extradi-
ton, but the better and easier course Is
to refute Suppose the Pilgrims did
talk Goldfish to James. Suppose they
fication of the talk. Does that prove
that fishing was their motive? Not by
a long shot! Is Pilgrim or a descend
ant of Pilgrim under obligations to
disclose motives, especially to a son of
Belial, an outsider, a worshipper OF the
scarlet woman! Hasn't a Pilgrim
right to say or to do anything he pleas
es in order to pull wool over the eyes of
an unbelieving dog? If he said fish,
the chances are stronger against fish
than in it's favor Poor Prowse; he
| doesn't seem to know that the Pilgrims
of history and the Congregational lcler-
gymen of to-day must be judged exclu-
sively from their own point of view,
and that the application to them of or
| binary morals and methods will result
| in disaster. Other parts of Prowse's
book, those which do not excite justifi-
| able ire, are suggestive. Prowse is a
great admirer of Goldfish. He thinks
the codfishermen of Newfoundland laid
! the foundations for the valor which de-
stroyed the Spanish Armada. A man
Injured to the dangers of Newfoundland
codf1shing, and fed on Newfoundland
cod, was more than match for any
thing Spain could produce
| If the exegencies of a hen-pecked
state of affairs had allowed longer pc
rusal of Prowse's book perhaps other
and equally valuable points might have
been discovered, but orders We're issued
and now Dovers castle rises resplen-
dent through the poorly washed win
dow. Even at this distance the old
/ Norman nj -
raohs are distinctly visible. 1t seems
j odd that so few tourists stop over at
| Dover; for the views in and about are
unsurpassed anywhere along the Eng
j fish or French coast, while in architec-
ture England is present from it's histor-
ic beginning. The vast castellated
range GROWING the cliffs to the left Of
the Dour contains buildings which anti
date the gSaxons; buildings Of Roman
work, others coeval with the conquest,
while every subsequent king or dynas-
ty has its representative, Along the
gentle Dour and spreading widely out
at It's mouth Is the town itself, clean,
tidy, with neat parklettes, wide espla-
made and churches of, all styles Of arch
itecture. Away up on the cliffs are
%NSAt~o VI
where sea sailed air blows fresh from
heaven, and superb sheep long to turn
their fat sides into succulent mutton.
To the right of the Dour towers
Shakespeares cliff and other cliffs still
higher, which are cut tunneled, pierced
and covered with every military device
for defense. Great guns bear unexpec-
tedly along, twisting nearly upright
staircases, looking huge enough tc
blow single handed, whole fleets to de.
struction. Then when night falls, fal
i off lights from the coast of France send
their electric darts; in peace now, but
they revolve quickly as if keen ane
ready for every turn of war The pa.
geantry of kings passes in stately pro
cession. The mind fills with the poetic
beauty of history. The-Bang! Bang!
How long are you going to keep us

pose anybody reads them?'' Good by
