Excerpt from The Great Trail: An Indian Mystery Play
(Used, when first presented, in Trinity Parish, New York)
Music - "O Zion, blest City," from Hiles" "Crusaders."
Enter, in procession, Trinity Church, followed by the Chapels Of Trinity Parish. They take their places before the curtain.
Trinity Church (speaking with gracious dignity).
Good Christian people who have come to see
Our Mystery, we greet you fair, and bid
You welcome with full love and fervent wish
To profit you by that we have to show.
More than two hundred years have passed since first
I came and took my seat by that rude wall
Which your forefathers built to shelter them
From the swift arrows of the Indians.
How are times changed since then! Your race now rules
The land where erst the red men roamed. The woods
And pastures of this isle passed beyond
