On June 11, 1928 the shores of this uncivilized country are due to be again visited by a party of Pilgrims. On this occasion the White Star liner "Celtic" is being chartered, presumably so that the Pilgrims may have plenty of room for the appropriate amount of antiques to hand down to future generations.

Twelve hundred strong the modern pilgrims--otherwise known as English Congregationalists--will debark at Boston and make a tour of the historic shrines of the earlier Pilgrim Fathers. Whether or not they intend to instill in the present generation the standards of the earlier Puritans is not yet known, but the possibility seems unlikely of their succeeding, although they will hold a service "of reconsecration to the principles of the Pilgrim Fathers." Then, seemingly against their purposes, they will proceed to New York where they will be duly entertained in the wicked city.

The second landing of the Pilgrims, beyond the obvious enrichment of future antique dealers, seems to be of little significance. The modern "Fathers" will come, be entertained--somewhat more hospitably than their predecessors--and go home again. And another sight seeing bus will have "done" the Commonwealth.
