Tho tale Of the Plymouth captains
love for the Puritan maiden is one OF
the dearest traditions cherished by the
feminine heart Of America, but just the
same the charming story which Long
fellow has given US of the courtship of
Miles Standish is all fiction. according
to the statement, delivered in Plymouth
itself, by the Rev. W. w. Dornan, pastor
OF the Church of the Pilgrimage
In speaking to a newspaper representa-
tive. Mr.. Dornan said:
1T is not my purpose to antagonize,
but many of the old traditions connect
ed with Pilgrim history are absolutely
groundless. 1t is simply my purpose to
adjust few of these old traditions and
set them right in the eyes of the public" /"
This he did in a lecture delivered to
an amazed audience the subject Of which
was plymouth ard the Pilgrims
This iconoclast tells us that Miles
Standish never was in love with the
lovely Priscilla, and il he had been, that
il would have been inconsistent with his
character to have instructed John Alden
to plead his cause.
All the counting John did was for him.
self. That he did it with sufficient ar
dor to win Priscilla we all know, and
if we are to believe Mr.. Dornan, he
needed no coy suggestion from the maid
that he speak for himself" as Long
fellow gave Priscilla the credit Of telling
him.
Skaters Our Illusions.
The fact is, Mr.. Dornan's lecture shat
ters all of our illusions, for If what he
says is correct, about the only part of
Longfellow's love tale that is true is
the part of the poem in which he makes
the captain say:
Since Rose standish died. my life has been weary
and dreary.
Sick at heart have been, beyond the healing of
friendship.
Miles Standish loved his wife, and his
heart went down into the grave with her.
Mr.. DOrnan thinks, however, that after
time, when his sorrow was assuaged,
that the doughty captain" might have
had some intention Of marrying Roses
sister.
If he had kept the matter to himself,
and certainly needed no intermediary.
Mr.. Dornan claims Longfellows lines:
The angel whose names is Priscilla
Holds in my life the place which the other aban-
doned-
Were never spoken to John Alden by
Capt. Standish, nor any others like
them

verse; Buddha Taught Love and Self-conquest

4. Right behavior.
5. Right mode of livelihood.
6. Right exertion.
Z. Right mindfulness.
8. Right meditation and tranquility
To still further enlighten my questioner
give the ensuing beautiful quotations
from Gautama Buddha, who lived six
hundred years before our Gentle Christ
was born:
'As a mother, even at the risk Of her
own life, protects her son, her only son.
SO let man cultivate good will without
measure toward the whole world, above,
below, around, unstinted, unmIxed with
any feeling Of differing or opposing in
terests. Let a man remain steadfastly
In this state of mind all the while he Is
awake, whether he be standing. walking,
sitting or lying down. This state Of heart
is the best in the world
All Were Messengers.
The faIr-minded reader will readily
concede that this teaching is Identical
with the teachings of Christ. Regarding
the future state of man. Buddha believed
that each being eventually, after many
incarnations, dissolved into bliss abso-
lutte" and became a part Of the creative
source. He lived righteously and un-
selfshly, bore much persecution and mis-
understanding patiently and died a holy
man, ledNlnB dn lnoellDle impress upon
the world for all time.
His beautiful life and beautiful teach
ings are worthy OF all respect. Christ is
&c me a brother, a friend, a master, a
guide. There is not a day when my
thoughts and affections do not go out to
Him, reverently.
That does not prevent me from giving
love and reverence to His older brothers,
sons Of God, who came to enlighten the
world before Christ's advent. Each
taught according to his time and the
needs OF his audience. Yet, studied care
fully. the essential truths, taught by
each were the same. Krishna taught
that love was the law OF the universe.
Buddha taught love and self-conquest.
Christ taught love and kindness.
And all were messengers from God.
The religion taught by each has been
prostituted by millions Of their followers
and turned into theological jargon, and
thousands OF Buddhists to-day are
heathen idolators such as Buddha tried
to save; just as thousands of Christians
are money worshipers and Idolators OF
fashion. and power. such as Christ tried
to save.
But that does not alter the glorious
message each Master brought to earth.
For truth Is forever the same, and love
Is Interchangeable.
