Decorative title page and decorative Arts and Crafts style borders on all text pages. Gilt top edge. Dimensions: height of 7.5 inches by width of 4.5 inches. Condition: On front and back covers, there are some small stains and very light overall soiling. There is light discoloration along the edges of the back cover. Where the front cover and spine meet, there is a .5 inch tear at the bottom of the book. On the spine, there is a 2 inch long water stain that runs on to the back of the book. Inside the book, the ages are age toned with the front and back paste downs and end papers slightly darker than the rest of the pages. There is a slight vertical split at the spine between the front end paper and flyleaf. Between page 32 and the back end paper, there is a .5 inch long, narrow pull where the pages stuck together. This book is a meditation or sermon upon Alfred Lord Tennyson’s famous “Crossing the Bar,” his 1899 poem about death and the afterlife. He likened the process of death to crossing a sandbar, moving from the river of life to an ocean of boundless deep. Gordon (1853-1929) was the long time minister of the Old South Church in Boston. A nice example of Arts and Crafts style book design. From the Congregational Library, Congregational Christian Historical Society website: “The Pilgrim Press grew out of the Congregational Publishing Society..., founded in 1841, and served as the publisher for the denomination. The Pilgrim Press published "devotional materials, successive editions of the Pilgrim Hymnal (1931, 1935, 1958), and a variety of books on religious studies."
