Excerpt from The Pilgrim Faith In a few years the three-hundredth anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth will be celebrated. In anticipation of this event, and for its own sake as well, it is fitting that an estimate of the achievements of the Congregationalists in America and of their representatives in foreign lands should be made. This is undertaken in the following pages. No attempt has been made to write a history of the churches that hold the Pilgrim Faith nor to discuss the form of church government which they maintained. Nor has the subject been treated exhaustively. Many events and names have been omitted, not because they have been forgotten, but on account of space limitations. We have endeavored to give prominence to those movements and leaders which represent in a typical way the genius of the Pilgrim Faith and exemplify its contribution to the spiritual history of the last three centuries.

Excerpt from The Pilgrim Faith Maintained: An Exhibit of the Calvarminian Doctrine as Found in Vital Theology When the Pastor of a Pilgrim People speaks out, it should be in words sober as well/ as sound. And if anything in this essay should seem less genial or more severe than necessary, it may be charitably attributed to oversight, under the pres sure of the present crisis. Let a man in his boyhood accept the Gospel of Christ, and thenceforward study and preach it through a long life, finding it more and more pre cions, in its orthodox purity essentially as taught by the Fathers; and then let him see the whole fabric suddenly undermined by a New Creed, with the essential points of their faith left out, a creed set forth as henceforward the standard of his whole denomination, with the ministerial settlements and church relations generally being fast conformed thereto; and it must not be wondered, if he feels impelled to break silence, and utter a faint remonstrance in the name of his Master.
