Uy Lady THE PILGRIM FATHERS Tercentenary of Landing at Plymouth Inspires Two In teresting Boohs The .100th nnnlversary of the landing of the Pilgrim Fnthers on Plymouth Hock hns- already had its lnltlntlonof celebration nnd commemoration. Tho Mn flower passengers first set foot on the soil of the New World on Mondav. December 21. but already various ex ercises have been held, especially (and nuecrly enough does the whirligig of time manngc Its changes) In Kngland. whence they fled to seek religious nnd In a sense political frcedonl, while the President has appointed an American commission to pay due honor to them nnd by procIumnHon has called on Americans to commemornte the Innd iuR. A very considerable legend hns grown up nbout the Pilgrims composed ol some truths, mnny fallacies and nu merous tinniithenticated Vstateinents, Ihioiigh contemporary documents nrn extant to dispel some of the' Illusions concerning them. nnd Mary Caroline Crawford hns very cleverly "and Inter estingly disentangled the erroneous, from the true, both concerning their habit and customs nnd their principles nnd Ideals. She cnlls her book "In the Dnvs nf the Pilgrim Fnthers," nnd her skill nt resenrch nnd her power of graphic presentation give it both breadth nnd bottom. She hns recrented n verv definite nnd believnblc back ground for her immediate narrative, nnd hns-bnsod her conclusions on the gen nine foundations. Thus we hnve verv Informing chap ters, meaty despite their sketchy char acter, of tho rNe of the "Brownlsts." as reliclous Separatists, especially nt Cambridge University, of life In 1-ng-tand of their day. nnd of tho transi tion of the original Pilgrims who land- p( nt Plymouth from Puritan nntece dents Miss Crawford points 'out that the men who landed nt Plymouth "never thought of themselves or spoke of them selves nt Pilgrims'." As applied to the enrlv settlers nt Plymouth, we ore told bv Albert Matthews, authority on enrlv Amerlenn history, the word "Pilgrim" first npnenred in 170S nnd "Pilgrim Fathers" in 1700. Oddly enough. It was Thomas Paine who. In nn account printed in the Columbian Sentinel of the 177th anniversary of the landing nt Plymouth Ttock. first bestowed this term on' the enrlv settlers Thomns Pnine. whose nnine hns Ions been nnnthema to devout sons and daughter of the Pil grim Fnthers. Miss Crawford nlso mnkes clenr that if they did not take tho name Pilgrim neither did they call themseUes Purl tans "That term they not only did not use. but emphatically disavowed Bradford, indeed, twice expresses hl dislike for the term on the ground that if was one of reproach, like the term 'Quaker ' They were not Puritans, but Separatists The Puritan in England, nt nn rate, was n Nationalist, believing in the union of church nnd state however desirous he might be thnt the Church of England micht be thoroughly reformed, while the Pilgrim wns n Separatist not onlv from the Anglican Prayer Hook nnd Queen Ellnbeth Episiopacy, but from all national churches.' Miss Crawford clarifies the confusion that resides in the minds of most Amer icans as to the distinction and differ ence between Pilgrims and Puritans. "For more than sixty years, that is. from 102S to 1001. when the colony at Pl mouth nnd thnt centering nbout Sa lein. Chnrlestown nnd Hoston, weie merged under one constitution, whnt we now call Massachusetts consisted of two distinct colonies, two centers of life and Influence which, though separated geographically by only forty inlles, in every other respect far apart On the evidence of Miss Crawford's chapters the Plymouth settlers were a milder, more humane and more human (in many specifications) lot of men than the cold and nustere neighbors of Mas sachusetts bav. who whipped the Quak ers nnd napttsts out of their confines nt'n carttall and did many other things that a more enlightened, nnd, it may be, softer-minded generation deems cruel and unjust.

""HI The Pilgrims, no more than the'Purl tans, wcro saints, nor was their set tlement a terrestrial heaven, though it was n theocracy. They were, to use one of Professor William Jnmes's phrases, "tough-minded" rntlter than tender-hearted. They wcro much of n piece with fallible humanity, commit ting the same sins thnt men commit to day, though tinder the constitution ot their peculiar society, which made for godliness and restraint when It did not degenerate Into hypocrisy, they were more nnt to religious feeling and ethical observance than most people of tlielr era. Tho records, liberally quoted by Miss Crawford, Indicate that there wns plenty of misdemeanor nnd crime. The nuthor observes: "One renson why so mnny crimes of n soclnl nature are re corded was undoubtedly because the Pilgrims overdid In government super vision of private life. There was no slnglo tnsk to which the community set Itself with grenter diligence, nnd enjoy ment thnn that of watching oue nn other. The truth Is, of course, thnt be cause there were nlmost no amusements In Plymouth nnd only scanty relief from the hard conditions of pioneer life, the people were so thrown In upon themselves ns nlmost inevitably to be come bntkbltlng, self-centered nnd im moral. " The originals of Hester Prynne nnd Arthur Dlmmesdnle nre to be found in the old court records, and the wearing of the scarlet letter was by no means an infrequent punishment. Another fallacy dispelled by Miss Crawford Is the usually credlteiKeagcr ness for general nnd public education. She says: "A fact not to be dodged, however, Is that It was forty years after the landing nt Plymouth before positive enactments on the subject of education began to appear on the stat ute books." Miss Crawford has done a distiuct service In this convenient nnd inter esting work. She tells the truth nbout the Pilgrims, strips nway traditional fallacies concerning them, and yet treats of their ideals, their high mo tives nnd their moral and ethical stand ards with rare nud fine sympathy. One cannot help rising from her book with the reflection that, bad as the world Is, and ns iniquitous and Inequitable ns many passages of history have been in the last 2100 years, nnd as disturbed and chaotic ns world conditions nre now, the world has moved, that It hns mounted on stepping stones of Its dead phases to bitter and lilaher things. Hnsll Mathews tells with some of the graces and narrative charm of fiction the external aspects and adventures of the Pilgrims' quest iu "The Ar gonauts of Faith." He confines his story to the voynge of the "Mayflower Pilgrims," and many historical names crop out in his vivid chronicle Mnsso solt, Edward Wlnslow.
