CH 1 From Times Square in the heart of | New York, to Plymouth Rock, on the | Massachusetts coast, isn't much of a {trip in these days of trains and taxis { when one counts the distance geo- graphically--a mere three hundsed miles or so. But counted in the terms of time, it covers a period of exactly three hundred years--reck- oned from the day that the Pilgrim | Fathers landed--and this seems im- | measurable. | It is only a matter of a few minutes | time for a New Yorker fo speak to {a friend in San Francisco--three | thousand miles away. And he may |cable to Plymouth, England, from whence the Mayflower sailed--three thousand miles jn the opposite dir- ection--in almost the same brief | period. In some respects, however, | it is easier to touch the life and soul of the Pilgrims who lived three hun- | dred years ago than it is to reach a distant friend by the modern miracle | of the telephone and the telegraph. | | For the influence of the Mayflower | Pilgrims has permeated the entire | structure of our modern life; civic, | | political and religious--and they | | builded upon a rock which has with- | stood the assaults of every demago- | gue, every "infidel," and every de- | spoiler of the péople. - LJ » The plymouth of 1920 is modern-- | | just ag modern as the average New | England town of 15,000 inhabitants. | | The torch of the Indian and the plon- eer has been supplanted by a ireat | | White Way' system of are lighting. | | Instead of the rough lonely trail that | {led 'us from the shore of Cape Cod | Bay there are now crowded reilroads | | and trolley cars, The ¢rude tools | {and appliances of the Pilgrim labor- i ers have been superceded by power | | plants and systematized factories. | Instead of the plain block house made | | of logs and thatched roof--for which | | the Pilgrims were nevertheless very | | grateful--thergs are now beautiful | public buildings; and institutions | and organizations by the score flour- | | ish, | The old English names found in! | Plymouth demonstrate that many | of the descendents of the original families still live there. But within a stone's throw of where the Pilgrims landed is a little Italian settlement, the residents giving every evidence that they have acquired the spirit of New England thrift, but having a life distinctly their own, which, in its festivals, parades and celebra- tions, lends color and gaiety to the | more serious existence of the May- flower descendants. Just around the corner 'is a "movie" show. Every afternoon the women and children stream down the side street to see the pictures andhat | night the men and boys are its chief patrons. Some may think that the 1920 Plymouthites are more than making up in their appreciations of pictures for what the original set- tlers missed--although a rather hasty judgment may decide that they did not miss much, so far as most of the pictures are concerned. Up the street is a workingman's restaurant, which at noon is crowd- ed with shirt-sleeved artisans, who apparently talk nothing but "shop" as they eat--wages, hours, condi- tions and related subjects. Thous- ands of them are employed in the great cordage works, the woolen and worsted mills, and in a score of other manufacturing concerns.

Hp tnd sunrise to sunset and received a Wage on which the barely subsisted, and whose 'conditions' would have given a modern walking delegate a fit of apoplexy, the hearty meals which these workingmen eat would have seemed like daily feasts, Most of the Plymouth industries have been developea during the past fifty years. The Fathers had count- ed on fishing and farming and furs their support--manufacturing was not their "line." And even down to the last generation, Plymouth | had a hundred fishing boats which regularly went out 10 sea. Curiously granted a Plymouth citizen the use of a large area of sand flats in the harbor for the propagation of clams, which the early. Pilgrims disliked so heartily--or else they might not | have gone hungry so often during | those first two terrible years. - * - ! The site of the first house built in Plymouth is in one of the most pic- turesque parts of the town. One | can easily imagine why the first set- | tlers were attracted to the little | brook just beyond their landing | place. Looking down from the hill | which the '"'ten principal men" who | first landed at Plymouth Rock un-| doubtedly climbed to obtain a good | view of the surrounding country it is easy to believe that they laugh- ingly selected the exact spots upon which each would build, But the first house erected--near the corner of Carver and Leyden sireets--was a "common house," about twenty feet suare. Within a month after its construction, the thatched rdof was burnt--and be- cause it was on the Sabbath Day, no | man dared put the fire out! No were particularly tender after their long, perilous journey overseas. They were grateful to God for their deliverance and even at the cost of losing their shelter, which they need- ed so much in the midst of the win- ter, they refrained from "displeas- ing the Lord" by violating the law of the Sabbath Day as they inter- prted it. Perhaps it should be said just here that the Pilgrims, in the austerity of | their doctrines and beliefs, imposed {no harder tasks upon their neigh- | bors than they gladly assumed them- | selves. They counted it a joy to suf- { fer wvhen to sacrifice meant the glory | of God and the extension of His Kingdom. But it must not be sup- | posed that they deprived themselves | of all the ordinary pleasures of life. {They were happy in their social re- | lationships--and no merely inciden- | tal testimony to the contrary should | be seriously considered. = * * | like the famou The 'Rock | * | Plymouth Rock | Liberty Bell, is cracked. | was - originally & solid boulder, | weighing about seven tons. It is greenish syenite and very hard but | it is believed that through the action | of frost, the Rock was rent in two. | It is interesting to note, by the way, that the astronomers have calculat- ed it was flood tide at the hour when the Pilgrims landed, which 'would | bring the water well up to the fam- ous Rock, In 1774, the Rock was removed from its original resting place in the Bay to the Town Square, where it was placed at the foot of a Liberty Pole. Here it remained until 1834, when, on the Fourth of July, it was carried, with great ceremony, to Pilgrim Hall and placed in the front area, enclosed by an iron fence, But later it was thought that this wag too far removed from the water so in 1880, the Pilgrim Society | quietly brought back the portion of the Rock which had been moved | about and reunited the separate pieces, after they had been apart for cne hundred and six years, and it is assumed that now the Rock pre- sents much the same appearance as when the Pilgrims used it as a Mighty Stepping Stone, *r + eo Half of the one hundred and. two pioneers who came in Mayflower in | 1620 died during that first had win- ter, a dread disease devouring them, and they were buried on Cole's Hill --their graves being levelled and in the spring grain planted above them 50 that the Indians might no: know the extent of the loss of life among the settlers. And in these later days, portions of human bodies are still found by diggers in the Cole Hill area, these 'relics being carefully treasured and respected. Beyond the Town Square, and high above the city, is Burial Hill. Here rest those who survived the first winter, awaiting, with their fellow ' IE trumpet of the Resurrection: Day. Here, too, may be seen tablets mark- ing the sites of the Old Fort and Watch Tower. But, truly emblematical, of the basis of the Pilgrim's struggle for a righteous nation built upon a right- eous people, is the National Monu- ment to the forefathers, made pos- sible by the contributions of more than 11,000 people in the United States and 'other countries. The monument is eighty-one feet fin height, and is said to be the largest and finest piece of granite statuary in the world, costing about one hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars. On the main pedestal stands the figure of Faith. In her left hand she holds a Bible, and with her right she points toward Heaven. It was the Bible that served as the foundation of the liberty and the life which the Pil- grims sought in the new country. They made it a lamp unto their feet and a light unto their path, They realized that before they could find peace in a faraway land, they must first find it in their own hearts. And they believed that the word of God was . the only chart and compass which could faithfully guide them on their journey. This is what made the Pilgrims great above all other pioneers. It has truly been said that those who first came to South America sought gold, but those who first came to the coast of New England, sought God. And the subsequent history of tle two Americas is a complete vindica- tion. of the wisdom of the Pilgrim Fathers. : : ---- eS -- Every man has his price, but in IIT 2 =i Pilgrims, buried on Cole's Hill, the || HOE I RAILWAY SYSTEM GELDRRITT AGENCY FOR ALL Storm Sash Don't wait until January, give us your TT measurements now.
