T GH I
FOR FREEDOM
Of FAITH
'courtship of MyIes Standish''
Records Struggle for Re-
ligious Freedom.

s.The Courtship of Myles Stand
ish" from the beginning to the end
is q picture that should be sup
ported by all church-going people
and no church-going person should
miss It. In this broad country
where we all worship according to
our hearts, unmolested, we should
let our thoughts dwell upon our
Pilgrim Fathers. the very first ones
to establish our religious freedom
in this country.
They have left unstained what
e'er they found, Freedom to wor-
ship Cod Much thought and
time has been given to the re.
ligious side of the ''Courtship." The
picture teaches un.shakeable faith,
utter trust, even as the story. None
Of US can deny the existence of
that great Intelligence which guards
us at all times, and, even as the
Pilgrims. we all must turn for help
to that One Great Power:
Not alone is the picture a mighty
epic Of historical importance, but
should be an inspiration to CRATE
fulness I'm every true Christian
heart. Have we not grown today
to what we are as a nation from
the seed sown by that band of un-
faltering men and women?s Through
their trials and hardships only has
it been made possible for us to wor.
ship in our big, spacious, modern
churches. Freedom to worship
God" was their battle cry.
Credit should be given the man
who was inspired to take for his
subject one of the greatest fights for
religious freedom ever made. All
pastors should encourage their con.
gregations to see the picture; all
children from the sixth grade up to
the eight grade elementary school
should be given the chance TO see
1t, for who are those who do not look
back and reflect with pleasure the
reading of the "Courtship of Myles
Standish" in school?
