room on Sunday. Next Sunday SER

s.~1,4
in Newark, N. j. We are surprised

of household goods and furniture the

identially it has all been preserved.
Go where you will throughout the
Eastern States you will find pots,
pans, kettles, warming pans, chairs,
clocks, spinning wheels, cradles,
desks, tables, swords, guns, lanterns,
etc, and especially Bibles and SER
mons delivered on special occasions,
for our forefathers were a remark
ably pious and jealous set of men
and women, by the score and hun
dred. Well, we had the satisfaction
of standing on the 1920" Pilgrim s
Rock and if it was anything that a
tourist could steal by piece meal il
would have disappeared long ago, but
it is boulder so hard that it will
stand the tramp of generations to
come before they will ever obliterate
the date 1920" that is chiseled on
it. But we are getting lengthy, and
yet we must add that one of the
very finest and most interesting
monuments that we ever saw is
''Forefathers' Monument" at Ply,
mouth, Mass.
