Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Experiences of a Pioneer Minister: Of Minnesota I was born January 25, 1843, in what is now Ontario, formerly called Upper Canada, or Canada West. My forefathers on both my fathers and mothers side, were Quakers. My fathers name was Walter Hill and my mothers maiden name was Phebe Brown. About the first thing I can remember was going to Quaker meeting. Their meetings were held every Sunday and Wednesday, called by the Quakers first day and fourth day. Ofttimes they would sit in silence for an hour or two, until some of the older brethren would shake hands, which would be the signal for all to rise, shake hands and go home. The men would sit with their hats on during meeting. Another peculiarity of this peculiar people was, that the men and women would by no means sit together during Divine service; but the fathers would take their sons and the mothers their daughters, and take seats in their respective parts of the church.1 can see them now, in my minds eye, as they filed into the meeting house - the brethren in their Quaker coats and hats, and the sisters in their plain dresses and huge bonnets, a good and upright people, saying Thee and Thou, and addressing one another, no matter how old or venerable, as James, or John, or Martha, or Mary, as the case might be. When I was eight years of age my parents moved to the town of Bosanquet, a new country bordering on lake Huron, in the county of Lambton, of which Port Sarnia, situated on the St. Clair river, opposite Port Huron, was the county seat.
