Pilgrims accused of Giving
Only B0lsIeuism1 to Nati0z,
Father MacNlahon, Taking Issue With Historian, De-
aclares Plymouth Colonists Had No Influence Save
to Contribute to Weakness Of Free Thinking

The Pilgrim Fathers were ignorant
and incompetent They established a
regime more cruel than the Spanish
lnquisition, in which their Governor
had more autocratc power than the
King Of England. They failed utterly
in the religious life they sought to
maintain. They had no influence upon
the history of the country, save to con-
tribute to the national weakness Of
free thinking. Their theory of the
separation of Church and State led to
the menace of Bolshevism to-day.
These are q few of the charges made
against the frst settlers of New Eng
land by the Rev. Father Joseph II.
MacMahon in lecture at Delmonico' S
yesterday afternoon. Father MacMahon
took issue with Professor Usher, who
has recently published history of the
Pilgrim Fathers. which, it was charged,
deals lightly with the failings Of the
founders and overemphasizcs their i'm
portance in American history
Father MacMahon told his audience
that the only real contribution of the
Plymouth colonists to American history
was that they were the first to demon
strate that the New World was fit
place for Englishmen to live and that
they stuck to their cold and barren
coast. firm in the determination to
make 1t permanent colony.
&c. No Credit for Hardships
Even their hardships did not rebound
10 their glory, according to him. The
reason so many of them died of starva-
tion, he said, was because they we're
too stubborn to cat the Holsters and
game with which the place abounded.
"That's the Engishman of it," he
said. The had been brought up on

know we tried during the war to teach
the English people the use Of corn and
we didn't succeed. You see the char
acteristic persists"
Some of the other failings laid up
to the Pilgrims by the speaker were:
There were just as many slackecs
and shirkers among them as among
other groups of human beings, so that
the communistic experiment with which
they began had to be abandoned and
private property established.
They had not even squatter rights
to the land on which they settled, and
got themselves into innumerable legal
difficulties with the crown.
Complaint Made Against Sins
The only reason they did not stain
their pages with persecution of the
witches similar to that of Salem, was
the accident that only two witches
showed up in their colony.
In spite of the severity of their
punishment and the espionage system
with which they safeguarded the moral
ty of the colony, n 1642 Governor
Bradford himself complained against
the "sundry notorious sins which had
broken out, complaining particularly
of drunkenness and unclcanness."
ION the religious side they failed
utterly" ather MacMahon concluded.
"They rejected not only the Established d
Church Of England, but also the funda-
mental principles of religion. They
destroyed the Holy Trinity and laid
the foundation for the Unitarianism
which later swept New England. For
many years they lived without a min
ister, although finally they had to call
III minister to observe some form Of
public worship.
They laid open the way for the
anarchistic thinking Of day, because
they destroyed all spiritual authority.
Their doctrine Of the separation of
church and state is the logical prepa-
ration for Bolshevism. Our effort to-
cay is to undo the effect of the Pilgrim
idea, which has permeated the coun-
try"

the last word that fell from his
lips.
He set the great example of
prosperity. so let us follow him
and become leaders. He set the
ball in motion. Let us keep it
rolling by doing every helpful
little bit in our power for the
great educational uplift of the
community in which we live.
If we could conceive the fact
that education throws a shining

Gated a light upon the pathway
that leads to wealth, health and
happiness. Governor Aycock's
creed was to provide an educa-

every small school, for every
child in every large school, for
all children in every state in the
universe. To him. the person
not having the proper attitude
towards the uplift of the human
race, was no more than a savage.
Give the poor and ignorant the
opportunity of becoming the
strong and intelligent. Let us
all join the hand of the ''ambi-

health and happiness. Cheer
fully may we contribute of our
means to erect a monument to
his memory, but let us with still
more zest apply ourselves to the

NIGHT SCHOOL OPENS WITH
BIG ENROLMENT

The night school opened in the
old Methodist Church Monday
night with an enrolment of
about one hundred pupils. A
large majority Of those who en-
tered were men and women over
1S years old. No one under IA
is expected to attend, and it was
noticeable that there were only
a few between the ages of four
teen and eighteen. The following
teachers are in charge this week:
Miss Hattie Ross, Prin., withMiss
Ethel Leatherwood and Miss Jen-
ME Whitaker actingas Assistants.
1t is expected that the State De-
partment will send one or two
more teachers to assist in the
work next week. In addition to
those who attend the school at
night, Miss Ross is teaching a
number of women in the after
noon because they are unable to
leave their children at night. In
the first meeting it was found
that there were a number of men
who desired a course in Textile
Arithmetic, and arrangement is
being made to offer this course to
all men who would be interested
in it. The work in the regular
school consists of reading, writ
ing and arithmetic, thru the
first seven grades. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the enroll
ment will reach $50 by the first
of next week. Anyone who is
interested, should report at the
old Methodist Church Monday
evening at seven o'clock. On
account of the large number en-
rolled it was necessary to divide
the school into two sections. One
section will come on Monday and
Friday nights, and the other Sec
ton on Tuesday and Thursday
nights. No one will be expected
to come more than two nights
each week.
