My name is Mary, and I am setting down all these thingsabout our people here in this new world, hoping some dayto send to my dear friend, Hannah, who lives in Scrooby,England, what may really come to be a story, even thoughthe writer of it is only sixteen years old, having lived inPlymouth since the day our company landed from theMayflower in 1620, more than eleven years ago.If Hannah ever really sees this as I have written it, she will,I know, be amused; for it is set down on pieces of birchbark and some leaves cut from the book of accountswhich Edward Winslow brought with him from the oldhome.Hannah will ask why I did not use fair, white paper, and, ifI am standing by when she does so, I shall tell her thatfair, white paper is far too precious in this new world ofours to be used for the pleasure of children.

Excerpt from Mary of Plymouth: A Story of the Pilgrim SettlementThe purpose of this series of stories is to show the children, and even those who have already taken up the study of history, the home life of the colonists with whom they meet in their books. To this end every effort has been made to avoid anything savor ing of romance, and to deal only with facts, so far as that is possible, while describing the daily life of those people who conquered the Wilderness whether for conscience sake or for gain.That the stories may appeal more directly to the children, they are told from the viewpoint of a child, and purport to have been related by a child. Should any criticism be made regarding the seeming neglect to mention important historical facts, the answer would be that these books are not Sent out as histories, - although it is believed that they will awaken a desire to learn more of the building of the nation, and only such incidents as would be particularly noted by a child are used.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Then a tool called a "frow" is used to split the trunk of the tree into slabs, or clapboards, making them thin at one edge and half an inch or more thick at the other. This "frow" is shaped something like a butcher's cleaver, and a wooden mallet is used to drive it into the log until the splint is forced off. Our people made many clapboards during.the time between planting and harvest, so that we had enormous stacks under the trees ready to put on board the first vessel that should sail for England. COOKING PUMPKINS When the first pumpkins were ripe, Squanto showed us how to cook them, and most of us find the fruit an' A NEW OVEN 83 agreeable change from sweet puddings, parched corn, and fish. This is the way that Squanto cooked pumpkins. First he was careful to find one that was wholly ripe. In the top of the yellow globe he cut a small hole through which it was possible for him to take out the seeds, of which there are many. Then the whole pumpkin was put into the iron oven and baked until the pulp on the inside was soft, after which the shell could be broken open, and the meat of the fruit eaten with the sugar which we get from the trees. Mistress Bradford invented the plan of mixing the baked pumpkin pulp with meal of the Indian corn, and made of the whole a queer looking bread, which some like exceeding well, but father says he is forced to shut his eyes while eating it. A NEW OVEN Perhaps I have not told you how we happen to have an oven, when there is only the big fireplace in which to cook our food.

About the Book Within Christianity, worship is reverent honor and homage that is paid to God. Throughout Christianity's history, communal Christian worship has been liturgical, with by prayers, hymns, and texts rooted in Scripture, particularly the Psalter. Sacramental and ceremonial worship continues to be practiced by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Anglican churches, as well as by several Protestant denominations including Lutherans and Methodists. On the other hand, within Evangelism, worship is viewed more as an act of adoration of God, with a more informal, spontaneous framework. Also in this Book Monasticism is a religious way of life in which a person renounces worldly pursuits to devote themselves completely to a celebration of spirituality. Monasticism is important in many Christian churches, especially in Catholic and Orthodox traditions. There are similar forms of religious life in other faiths, for example, in Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. In some other religions monasticism is shunned, as in Islam and Zoroastrianism, or is marginal, as in Judaism.
