iuii weie sung. including tne
"Landing of the Pilgrims" by .Mrs

Senator Lodge gave a scholarly
outline of the Pilgrims story and in
drawing from it a lesson for pres
ent day America he pointed out
.hat "they set character first,"
"south to give men 'freedom both
in body and mind", and "tried to
reduce the sum of hunian misery.'
"Whatever our faith," he said
"whatever our belief in progress,
there can be no nobler purposes fo:
man than thus to deal with the
only earth he knows and the frag
ment of time awarded him here.
While the great reyublic is true in

the Pilgrims of Plymouth it will

set forth the vision of the Pilgrims
and their prayerful determination:
"Fredom thy new-born nation here
shall cherish;
Grant us thy covenant, unchang
ing, sure;
Earth shall decay; the firmament
shall perish;
Freedom and truth, immortal
shall endure."

to this challenge came in these
