THE SIGNIFICANCE AND THE
SPIRIT OF THE PURITANS

much for their positive. moral
courage and ideals.
Now as to the more human
side. The Puritans have often
been assailed for repudiating
everything that is beautiful, and
for being enemies of every kind
of amusement; they have been
accused of sourness and Of being
melancholy and the like. How
ever. serious as they were, it is
doubtful that they disapproved
of healthful recreation. They de-
manded, to be sure, that amuse-
ment and any kind Of pleasure
should be subordinated to more
important ends and not permit
ted to burden the higher life Of
the Individual. And who can
deny the loftiness of that ideal?
That they all were sour and long
visaged is not true. The fact is
that we are to-day more puri-
tanical in many things than were
the Puritans Of the seventeenth
century. BY reading the follow
ing lines from the great Puritan
poet we get a truer view of the
real situation:
Jest and youthful Jollitz,
Cups and Cranks and Wanton
wiles,
Mods and Becks and wreathed
Smiles
Sport that wrinkled care derides,
And Laughter holding both her
sides"
Character and duty occupied
the first place in the thought
and desires of the Puritan, to
promote righteousness and all
truth were his highest ambitions,
and all other things must be
subordinated to these ends. But
it must not be overlooked that
the Puritan was truly human
and enjoyed and sanctioned legi

innate amusement. although his
motto was: Life is real, life is
earnest"
Historically and doctrinally
Puritanism was at a disadvan-
tage. The theology was not the
theology of the Prayer Book,
even hardly that of the Thirty
nine articles. Its historical po-
sition was exactly the opposite
Of that of the Church of Eng
land.
Morally, on the other hand,
the Puritans were in a much bet
ter position. Really, Puritanism
stands for moral ideals. It's in
dividualism and simplicity ap-
pealed strongly to the better and
more serious side of the English
people. Therefore, as one has
said: Slowly but steadily, it
Puritanism-int introduced it's own
seriousness and purity into Eng
fish society, English literature,
English politics" Archbishop
Wilson also declared once that
most of the great social and
Christian reforms have originat-
ed with Nonconformists."
People with such high moral
ideals and standards as here de-
scribed-it were that committed
themselves unto the guidance
and protection of God, and set
out from their country and their
kindreds to lay the foundation of
the nation that He obviously
showed them-a nation that
largely has continued to build on
the ideals of righteousness and
truth as promoted by these Puri-
tans and Pilgrims, whether it be
in society, in literature, in po-
litics, or even in religion.

One of the surprises in the re-
cent General Election so far as
Pine county is concerned is the
fact that the county bond issue
of $4,000 was voted down. Had
the buildings on the county poor
farm, for which this money is to
be used, not been commenced, it
could better be understood that
the money was voted down. but
now that the buildings are half
way completed. and the county
commissioners were ordered to
build by the State Board of Con-
trol. it is difficult to figure out
why the bonds were voted down,
unless the measure was not UNI
derstood As it stands now the
$4,000 will all have to be paid
in County taxes next year and
therefore more of a burden. Had
the measure carried the bonds
would have been spread out over
n period Of 10 years.
Had the County buildings not
been commenced--evcn though
the contract for same had been
let--the vote might have been
taken as a remonstrance against
the county commissioners but
as it stands the taxpayers are
only biting themselves.

hS we nOW are HcdIifis IhS
tercentenary of the first landing
on American soil of the Pilgrims,
Nov. q. 1920, at Provincetown,
and since we are approaching an
other Thanksgiving, wish to
contribute a few words, not to
the history Of the Pilgrims, but
to the significance and the spirit
of this noble English religious
party Of which the Pilgrims were
a branch the Puritans.
The Pur;tans were in many
ways a remarkable religious boz
dy Of people, and there can b.
no doubt but that the world is
deeply indebted to them. 1t is
no wonder, therefore, that his
torians have spoken highly of
the Puritans and have given
them a very honorable place in
the annals of history. Let me
give some instances. MacauIay
speaks Of the Puritans as per-
haps the most remarkable body
Of men which the world has
ever produced" Hallam, the
great historian, says the Puri-
tans were the repositories of the
sacred fire Of liberty" Hume
writes that the precious spark
of liberty has been kindled and
was preserved by the Puritans
alone. and that it is to them that
the English owe the whole free.
dom of their constitution.
Again, Carlyle says in his Intro
duction to the Letters and
Speeches Of Cromwell thus: "One
wishes there were history of
English Puritanism. the last of
all our Heroism; at bottom per-
haps-no nobler Heroism ever
transacted itself on this earth"
While this is speaking in high
terms Of praise. it is neverthe-
less difficult to estimate the SER
vice which the Puritans have
rendered 70 humanity. and in
particular to the English speak
ing people.
If this describes the historical
significance Of the Puritans,
wherein lay then their spiritual
and moral strength and signifi-
canoe? 1t was John Robinson
who said that religion is the
best thing for any people and
the corruption Of religion is the
worst" If we then ask where
the strength of Puritanism lay,
must we not admit that it lay in
the two great principles suggest
cd in the words Of Robinson,
namely. personal Christianity
and the hatred Of professional
religion? The Puritans. on the
one hand. never ceased to en-
plastic and to insist upon the
personal relation between God
and man; on the other hand
they never tired Of protesting
against the gross abuses Of the
Church and to flay the corrupt
clergy. The fact is that they
were the real and earnest Pro-
testants Of England. and hence
were bent on carrying the prin.
ciples of Professionalism ito their
natural and logical conclusion. :
And they did it; and herein they
lshowed where lay their moral
strength.
| Yet the Puritans did not think
the battle won when the Prince
usurped the position from which
the pope had been elected" The
Tyranny Of the pope had beer
bad enough. to be sure. but i,
would hardly better conditions
to be under the thumb of a king
Was not also the Church Of
Christ born for something high
er than that? Had not Prote
stantism something better to Of
fer than that! Yes. and Puri
tanism sprang to life from The
conviction that Professionalism

The Rev. John J. DOugherty Of St.

Father Dougherty said:
when we see the world startled at

10 consider the meaning OF this spec
tach and ask ourselves these Ques-
! lions. Is he a statesman, a warrior,
or a great ilnancler?"
''Mr. MacSwiney was but a resident
or a small republic. not yet recOg-
nized by The great nations Of the
earth. What Is the secret OF Mac
Swiney's outstanding personality. He
was not the leader Of an army or es-
| peclally eminent in the arts and

! MacSwiney, for our admiration and
love. He loved his fellow man 50
much that he was willing to die for
him, and that his own land and every
shackled land might be free to enjoy
The blessings OF civil and religious
liberty"
:'rhe love Of country Is deeply seat
led In the nature Of every man. The
lonely man OF the north. loves his
