Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pilgrim in Old England: A Review of the History, Present Condition, and Outlook of the Independent (Congregational) Churches in England The title of this book has been chosen not without the consciousness that its propriety may be questioned. The name "Pilgrim," technically, belongs to those who left England, went to Holland, and afterward came to America in search of religious liberty. But the name also belongs to an intellectual and spiritual movement of which the migration to the New World in the "Mayflower" was but a small part. It applies to those who remained in the old country, and who there, under circumstances quite as perilous as fighting Indians and the endurance of cold and hunger, fought for, and in a measure achieved, their rights as citizens of a spiritual commonwealth. It is the privilege of those who live in the United States to revere the memory of the men who founded the Plymouth Colony, and who more than any others were the fathers of our liberties; but it should never be forgotten that not all the heroes left England, and that while some of the "finest of the wheat" came to Plymouth, enough remained on the other side of the sea to insure a harvest of spiritual life and of practical righteousness which for vitality and vigour has been unsurpassed in the history of Christianity.
