Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gleanings From Old Shaker Journals From an historical standpoint, the Shaker Village at Harvard, Massachusetts, holds a unique position among the Shaker Communities, having been the headquarters of Mother Ann Lee during that period in which she spread her gospel through the Eastern States at the end of the eighteenth century. All that happened there at that time and in the years that followed, especially up to 1853 and thereabouts, is of great psychological interest, as well as forming a chapter in our New England history that should not be allowed to fade into the Past unrecorded. The wall of reserve and inaccessibility with which the Shakers have surrounded themselves has made it well-nigh impossible before now to penetrate beyond a certain point into the mysteries of their industrious lives, so intricately interwoven with mysticism and the practice of almost perpetual adoration. But the old antagonism between them and "the world" has long since died away, and the religious excesses of the old days which caused such panic of fear and superstition would be as foreign to the modern Shakers as they would be to any outside of their faith. In the towns surrounding their villages they are regarded as peaceful, honest citizens, and are held in affectionate esteem.
