Excerpt from The Vision of the Pilgrim Fathers: An Oration, Spoken Before the New England Society of Montreal, in the American Presbyterian Church, on 22nd December, 1856
This is a day sacred in the remembrance of New Eng land. Old England, Old Ireland, Old Scotland, have all their Saint's days, when the banners of Saint George, Saint Patrick, Saint Andrew, are Opened to the breeze. All these ancient lands have honorable and stirring associations for their children to hold as cherished treasures. But on this day, so sacred in the remembrance of New England, you call on the name of no canonized Saint. I t is Forefathers' day. Here, in the name, may we find an indication that we approach a new his toric period - a fresh unfolding of the Divine Order in God's dealings with the nations. Of the Patron Saints of the old lands we have but indistinct traditions. The Fore fathers of' New England stand fairly revealed in the light of history, and we can trace their motives and their deeds. The St. George of merrie England, the St. Patrick of my own Ireland, and the St. Andrew of bonnie Scotland, stand too remote for any criticism on their person and character. Legend has its halo and its mist, and while the one lights up their excellencies, the other obscures their defects. The Fathers and Founders of New England lie more within the Scope of our historic vision, and the angularities of their character have been criticised both by friend and foe. We see that they were men like ourselves, with human weaknesses and though rising above their age in some respects were quite on a level with it in others.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a historical account of the Pilgrims and the founding of the New England colonies, begins by describing the hardships faced by people of Puritan faith in England in the 17th Century under the rule of King James. Out of fear of persecution, a group of Puritan refugees left their homeland for the tolerant shores of Holland. Then, after a time, they set out across the Atlantic to start a new life, free from religious oppression, in what is now known as the United States. The text illuminates the Pilgrims' courageous journey to America on the Mayflower, their arrival at Plymouth Rock, and the establishment of their colony in the New World. Their profound influence on society and government is discussed, and the author highlights the lasting impact of the Pilgrims' faith and vision on the development of American ideals and institutions. The book captivates with evocative prose and insightful commentary, throwing light on an important chapter in American history.
