Two hundred and eighty years ago a
band of English e1dles landed at what
is now Plymouth, Mass, and formed the

MayAower with the Pilgrim Fathers at
Plymouth Rock was celebrated in an ap-
propriately manner by the members of
the CongregationaIist church, Second and

The plan upon which the principle Of
the Congregational church is formed,
originated with John Robinson who with
some 300 followers was driven from Eng

obtaining a charter from James Z. TO es-
tabnsh themselves in Virginia, 101 pill
grims under the leadership Of Elder
Brewster made for America

with them originated Thanksgiving day.
A compact, signed before landing and in
which they agreed to abide by the laws
OF God and their king, was the control
ing force that firmly united this little
colony.
It is an annual custom Of this church
to celebrate the day throughout the en-
tire country. The celebration in the local
church last night was under the auspices
Of the Ladies' Society and a special COM
mittee consisting Of Mesdames A o.
Baker. F. D. De la Mater. H. B. Wilson
and Howard Soule.
Some one hundred members Of the Con-
gregation and invited guests were pres
ent at a banquet served IN the parlors
of the church.
The young ladies Of the congregation,
attired in colonial costume, served at the
tables.
At the close of the banquet toasts were
responded to as follows: Prof. Allen,
