a general court at Plymouth. THE NEW NATION IN THE WILDERNESS. And so through all opposition and danger and trials a new nationwas founded in the wilderness, said Mamma Nelson. As GovernorBradford said, almost in a spirit of prophesy : Out of small beginningsgreat things have been produced by His hand, that made all things outof nothing ; and as one small candle will light a thousand, so the lighthere kindled hath shown to many, yea, to a whole nation. There was a moments pause broken by Miss Whyte, who asked : Is that the way that you study, Mrs. Nelson ? Yes, answered Mamma Nelson smilingly, but we do not call itstudy. It is just play, asserted Katie. I dont want to hurry you, maam, but your boat will be ready tostart by the time we reach Pilgrim Wharf, said the guide. And we have had such a pleasant day ! sighed Cecil. I say, wewill all come over and see you win that library. Will you ? We shall be glad to see you, returned Charlie. Then you may expect us, was the emphatic answer.
