Preface

^* *'HE aim of this little book is to ^ive to the Alden Kindred,

^ I j^in compact form, a jDictorial history of the first John

^pj^i^j^-^-^vp Alden from the departure of the Mayflower froni Sonth=/|> <(/

%i^^-si^J^ ampton Harbor to the landin6 on Plymouth Rock— the

subsequent settlenient at Duxbury— the Homestead— sonie

relics of the man and ma6istrate, and some note of the homes of

his children's children to the tenth feneration.

Lines for the Aldens

Faith is the corner stone,

Not dogma and not creed,

—

Faith is the power of Love alone,

In generous thought and deed.

Faith reached across the sea

And nobly planted here,

A nation strong and fre^,

Without reproach or fear.

Faith brings a clearer day !

This is the Alden way.

Hope lights her heavenly lamp,

Bidding the world rejoice.

Lifting men's hearts from earthly dampBy the beauty of her voice.

Hope gilds the darkest cloud,

Turns midnight into morn,

Singing in accents clear and loud,

That Christ indeed is born.

Hope bids the heart be gay !

This is the Alden way.

Descendant through the Poet Longfellow

The keystone of the arch,

We place with loud acclaim,

The triumph of man's onward march.

Is writ in words of flame.

The all-embracing word.

All other words above.

On earth, in heaven 'tis heard,

—

That saving word is Love.

Let Love alone hold sway !

This is the Alden way.

Faith, Hope and Love, these three,

A blessed Trinity

—

Let every Alden swear

These blessed words to bear

On knightly shield and sword.

Till the coming of the Lord

Has banished war and strife,

Brought peace with blessing rife,

And won eternal life.

Till through the earth we find

God's image in mankind.

Francis LeBarox,

Waldorf Astoria, New York City, Aug. i, 1903.
