A Drought and Socialism P3

After seeing the blessing of God with rain when the Pilgrims set apart of solemn day of humiliation to seek the Lord by humble fervent prayer in their great distress over the drought an Indian named Hobamack who witnessed this event said to a Pilgrim:

Now I see that the Englishman’s God is a good God, for He hath heard you snd sent you rain — and that without storms and tempests and thunder, which usually we have with our rain, which breaks down our corn; but yours stands whole and good still. Surely your God is a good God.

The rains rejuvenated the dying crops and harvest of 1623 brought plenty to each person, with the more industrious Pilgrims even having excess to sell. They once again set aside a time of thanksgiving to God.

Significantly, from the time the Pilgrims began adopting a Biblical economic system, no general want ever again existed among them.
