PILGRIM SPIRIT.
To Its Influence is Nations Strengh
Largely Due.

Forefathers' day was celebrated by
the congregation of the Union Church,
yesterday. Rev John f. futile, the pas
tor, chose as his subject, "The secret Of
the Pilgrims power" and devoted the
hour TO the consideration of the men
who fed into voluntary exile and made
their homes in the wilderness for the
sake of their religious freedom.
The sufferings of the Pilgrims at
home, the religious prosecutions they
underwent, the migration to Holland.
the voyage of the Mayhower. the hard
ships of the little colony at Plymouth,
were all depicted in vivid terms, after
which the speaker related how a nation
had grown from the little colony of
earnest men and women who took up
their abode on the barren coast of Mas
sachusetts in 1920, and how the spirit
Oh the Pilgrims, transmitted from gen
GRAFTON to generation, has proved the
malnstay of the land of which they
were the pioneer settlers.
Dr. Tuttle commenced his discourse
by describing the scope and power of
the influence of the Pilgrims as it is
Ielt In the country today. He said there
was scarcely walk of life which did
iADt ANCl H. tildL IL was at Lne bottom
Of all the religious life of America and
that nearly all the leading educational
| institutions had been founded and con-
tlnued by men of Puritan descent and
! training. DR.. Tuttle ascribed the
strength of the nation more to the influ-
ence of the Pilgrims than to any other
one cause. When nation having the
Pilgrim conscience and strength of
character strongly developed was op-
posed to nation like Spain. whose
methods of thought and action were so
entirely the reverse, the result must
be inevitable. The spirit of the Pill
srims, he affirmed, was bound to CON
quer.
In explanation of the power exercised
by the Pilgrims. Dr.. Tuttle gave three
reasons. First, their firm, mistaken be-
lief in God. Second, their belief in the
Bible. Third, their application of this
teachings Of the Bible to the every day
affairs Of life. 1t is lack of this last
doctrine, the preacher said. which
threatened the greatest danger to the
| people Of the nineteenth century. Mod
rh people are no longer in the habit of
thinking what the Bible says of a GER
tain line of conduct before taking ac-
ton That is why our friends make So
many mistakes and false steps in their
everyday life which might be avoided
by more closely following the example
OF the Pilgrims and not reserving the
Bible as guide for Sundays only. but
making it the rule for everyday life.

A FAVORABLE IMPRESSION.
Rev. stopford w. Brooke Preached as a
Candidate at Church of the Unity.

CdOuIuatb dt SnuFCn OF tne Onltys
Rev. stopford w. Brooke preached
yesterday forenoon at the Church of
the Unity, and the event called out an
unusually large congregation, many
persons who are identified with the
other churches of the city being pres
ent 1t was the first time Mr.. Brooke
has preached since his return from
Europe, in the early fall, although he
was heard once or more before his de-
likely candidate for the pulpit left va
cant by the resignation of Rev. Calvin
Stebbins
The prospect of a call to the pasto-
rate Of the church was renewed yes
terday by the distinctly favorable i'm
preston which Mr.. Brooke made upon
the congregation. He preached from
the text, Come unto me, all ye that
labor and are heaven laden, and will
give you rest" His line of thought
was that the longing for rest was the
deepest emotion in the human heart,
for underneath all the tempestuous
restlessness of the world was the abid-
ing desire for peace. This longing was
at the root of Buddhism, the only re-
ligion which with Christianity could
make claim to universality. But the
Buddhist and the Christian conceptions
of rest were diametrically opposed, for
the one meant the escape from strug-
gle and temptation, while the other
could exist only by conquering difficult
ties and temptations.
Mr.. Brooke is a young EngIishman of
the best type. His whole personality
in the pulpit and out of it is athletic
manly, magnetic. While he has notes
to which he sometimes refers, his de-
livery is so free and spontaneous as to
have the appearance of extempore
speaking. He uses gestures freely and
forcefuly, aud is a speaker of virility
and charm. A large majority of the
parish are of the opinion that the
Church of the Unity would have rea-
son to consider itself exceedingly for
tunate il it could obtain his services.
Rev. T. c. Williams, who has also
been spoken of prominently for the
position will preach Sunday, and the
week after on Jan. l. Mr. Brooke will
be heard again.
