Print on Demand. This book captures the experiences of a group of pilgrims on a journey to the US West Coast in 1915. Part of a wider movement to bring Universalist Conventions to the Pacific shores, this pilgrimage was an act of faith and cooperation. Despite circumstances, fears, and expenses, over one hundred and fifty people embarked on this adventure. As a testament to the transformative nature of the journey, the group established a new era of missionary achievement within their church. The author provides a detailed account of the events, personalities, and sights that made up this historical pilgrimage. From a sociological perspective, this book illuminates the collective spirit and determination of the Universalist Church at the beginning of the 20th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
