Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered by Rev. George Lewis, D. D Modern church life in our own State has roots that run back into a somewhat complex, and certainly a very curious condition of things in the seventeenth century. The early history of Maine reads very differently from the early history of Massachusetts. They were Pilgrims and staunch Congregational christians who came over in the Mayflower and formed the Plymouth colony. They were Puritans from England, who were driven thence by the exactions and the petty persecutions of Laud, who came to Boston and vicinity and formed the Massachusetts colony. They were organized churches which came across the water, and they came to Massachusetts Bay as both Church and State in one. They meant to be and they were a Theocracy as truly as were the Israelites in the days of David. It was a kingdom of God they came to America on purpose to establish. No bauble of wealth dangled before the imagination of these Puritans to lure them from their homes on the other side to the bleak shores, the dark woods and the deep snows of Massachusetts. They came to worship God in their own way and to make others worship him in their way too so far as they were able. But religion played no part in the early settlement of Maine.
