The Pilgrim Fathers.

e
December twenty-first marks the
two hundred ninety-fourth annivel-
sary OF the landing of the Pilgrims at
Plymouth Rock That day which is
commonly known as 'Forefathers'
lay deserves to be held in everlast-
ing remembrance by all true Ameri-
cans because Of the influence exerted
by our Pilgrim fathers in shaping the
ideals, the institutions, and the des-
this anniversary in mind I have Sc
lected as my theme for the present
occasion. The Pilgrim Fathers In
discussing this topic let us consider
the Genesis and the Exodus Of the
movement. together with the perma-
nent results which have grown out
of the coming OF the Pilgrims to our
shores.
1.-The Genesis of the movement
which led the Pilgrims to forsake
their ancestral homes and take their
departure across the seas may be
traced to the English reformation
The English reformation unlike that
of Germany and Switzerland was po-
litical rather than religious. To some
extent 1t had been prepared for by the
work of John Wiclif and his success
sors. but for which the English peo-
pie would not have acquiesced so
readily in the political revolution
which separated their national church
from that Of Rome. Henry VIII,
through whom this separation was eff
fected, had no sympathy with the
b. lutheran reformation of Germany In
fact he wrote a treatise against Luth-
er. for which he was rewarded by the
pope with the title. Defender of the
Faith a title which English sover-
eigns have borne from that day to
this. The occasion for the English
reformation as as follows: For pollt-
ical reasons Henry had married his
brothers widow Katherine of ARA
gon, who was eight years his senior.
At last he wearied of her, especially
because she bore him no son and
heir SO he sought dispensation
from the pope annulling the marriage,
but the pope, unwilling to offend the
court of Spain, refused Finally Henry
VIII took matters into his own hands.
casting off Katherine. his wife, and
seyering his allegiance with the pope,
phoclaimec himself the head Of the
English church. No change in wor-
ship. polity. or organization. was at
first contemplated. 1t was simply a
change from Pope Clement to Pope
Henry VIII. Changes, of course. were
inevitable, but these came by the

world. The voyage proved to be long

ship became sprung and cracked, so
that the vessel was in imminent dan
ger of capsizing, but providentially,
so 1t seems, one of the Pilgrims had
among his possessions a huge iron
jack-screw by means Of which the de-
fective beam was forced back into
place and braced for the rest Of the
voyage.

storms and dangers, they succeeded
in reaching the new world and on

ately, the land about Plymouth Rock.

The PiIgrim's Exodus.

$50 much for the Genesis, now we
come to the Exodus in the history OF
the Pilgrim fathers Although they
had decided to emigrate to Holland it
was no easy matter for this Separa-
tist congregation to leave England.
Not only were they forbidden to wor-
ship God according to the dictates of
their own Nonsciences in the mother
country. but the English authorities
refused to permit them to seek free
dom OF conscience elsewhere. In
1907 they attempted to escape by
flight and contracted with an English
sea captain to land them in Holland.
but he betrayed them to the authori-
ties and for month the men of the
company we're imprisoned while sew

ance vile for some time longer. A
year later they made second attempt
to leave the country, and this time
they hired Dutch sea captain to
transport them over the channel A
few Of the men with their goods and
chattels had embarked, but their
wives and children were still In wait

foot and horse appeared to prevent
the undertaking. With an oath the
Dutch sea captain Immediately set

board and Notwithstanding their pro-
testattons, leaving their families in
the HANDS Of the authorities. For a
time these helpless women and chill
dren were taken about the country
from one prison to another, but fin
ally they were set free, for even the
English authorities could not hold
them blameworthy for wanting to &C
company their husbands and fathers
in leaving the country. So at last in
small groups they succeeded in re-
Joining their kinsmen on the CONT

gnegation remained in Amsterdam. re-

remained for nearly dozen years.

circumstances OF these Pilgrims by
