A four-day program in Leyden, Am

Pilgrims sailed three centuries ago to
might find “freedom to worship God,”
the American wilderness, where they
will start on August 30, when commit

Rev. John Robinson, who led the sep

was buried.
One of the features of the holiday
\
at Amsterdam on September 1 will be
a meeting in the Rijksmuseum, the
unveiling of a memorial window in
tlpe Bagijnekerk, and a reception. The
next day there will be an aquatic
pageant in Rotterdam, the visitors
traveling in the morning from Delfts
haven, if possible, by boat along the
way the Pilgrims went. Then there
will be trips to the religious havens
of Rotterdam, a memorial service in
the church at Delftshaven, and at 7
p. m. the English and American con
tingents will depart for Southampton.
The celebration in England will
start in May, 1920, with meetings in
Scrooby, the home of Robinson, Aus
terfield, Boston and Sheffield. From
August 4 to September 20 there will
be ceremonies in Cambridge, London
Southampton and other places, culmi
