THE PILGRIM FATHERS
Tercentenary of Landing at

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.

ercises have been held, especially (and

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

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.

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. Oovernor Car
er, Miles Standish, etc. He has fol

Viscount Uryce contributes nn Intro

Pilgrims were humble men, nono of
them persons of consequence or Influ

dignity of an event nre not to bo mens

A time hns now come agnln, ns it

faith nnd cournge nnd constancy and
the hopefulness which trust In Ood and
cournge give, must hnve their perfect
work."
