''Forefathers Day" was observed at
the First Unitarian church In Oak
land. Cal. on the evening of Dec. ~.
Col. John p. Irish presided, and re-
lated In brief the causes which led
the Pilgrims to forsake their native
land and cast their lot in new and
strange country.
The acting pastor of the Berkeley
Unitarian church, the Rev. George w.
Stone. who was formerly the Histo-
rian OF the Massachusetts, Society of
Mayfiower Descendants, delivered the
address of the day. which took the
form OF study OF the Pilgrim era.
He defined at length the difference
between the Puritans and the Pill
grims. In part he said:
Bear In mind that the 'Scroohy'
congregation was the last organiza-
tion OF Separatists that existed In
England at that time; that 1t fed TO
Holland In 1907. and after thirteen
years residence there ii came In the
Maytower To America and founded
the Pilgrim Republic at Plymouth In
1890. Notice that II was thirteen

years after the Pilgrims left England
and eight years after they planted the
Scrooby church at Plymouth that the
Puritans left England. The Puritans
landed at Salem, and there the first
Puritan church in America was estab
lished. in 1923.
This church was at first an Epis
copal church, but, under the influence
of Surgeon Fuller of Plymouth. who
was sent to Salem to assist during
the prevalence OF what is called in
the records "A plague the Congrega-
tional system was adopted This was
accomplished under the lead OF Gov.
Endicott. in 1929. The Pilgrims.

settlement of this country, and to
them, rather than to the Puritans, do
we owe what is best in our national
life. and | might add, most of those
principles and practices which differ

the earth. Let us remember. also,
that the Pilgrims. and not the Puri-
tans, were the founders of Congrega-

Official His Position.

Recently the British warship Spar.
row visited the native kingdom OF
Tonga In the south Pacific. over which
tho British government exercises a
protectorate. Its ruler Is a dusky and
spirited young man who calls himself
King George II. When the Sparrow
was In the harbor OF the Tongan cap
itsl ball was to have been given on
board. but the electric light failed
and all sorts OF expedients were re-
sorted TO for the purposes OF illumina-
ton, An obliging customs official OF
high standing removed the light from
one OF the lighthouses In the harbor
and took II aboard tho Sparrow. For
this risky piece OF pollteness he was
dismissed by tho Tongan government.
The captain OF the sparrow interceded
with King George on his behalf. but
bis majesty was inexorable. which In
dicates that he knows his business.

In the interior of New York state.
Bluff Point at it's head Is a bold
promontory, which rises grandly and
impressively. 1t was upon the banks
of this lake that the famous "Jemima
Wilkinson" founded a colony nearly
three generations ago and announced
that she could walk upon the water
OF the lake. A large crowd gathered
to see her undertake the experiment.
Turning to her followers she asked:
"Have you all faith that l can walk
upon the water?" I'VE have, we
have!" her followers replied. Then
there is no use in my undertaking to
do So" she replied. IF We have faith
We shall be saved without my walking

NEVER WITHOUT A cHApERoN.
Dutch Girls Always Attended by Their
Elders


The Dutch girl does not enjoy any
thing like the amount of freedom
granted to her English OF American
sister. She is very carefully chaper-
oned young person and when she goes
to the theater it is with her elders. not
merely with a friend or two Of her
own age. At the dances she attends,
songs, recitations and music for the
entertainment of the elders form q
part Of the regular program and the
chaperons sit at tables socially enjoy
ing their coffee or other refreshments,
while the young folk glide over the
waxed floor to the strains of the latest
waltz. Dutch maidens have to make
the best OF their opportunities OF
amusement, for when it pleases their
parents to seek the quiet of home
they must meekly accompany them.
In their country the idea Of girl be-
ing unchaperoned at dance is not to
be thought of-at any rate. not yet!
