John Ward Preacher by Margaret Deland is a novel that tells the story of a young man named John Ward who becomes a preacher in a small New England town. The book explores the challenges and struggles that John faces as he tries to reconcile his faith with the realities of the world around him. Along the way, he grapples with issues such as love, sin, and the meaning of life, all while trying to guide his congregation towards a deeper understanding of God's will. The story is set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, and it offers a vivid and nuanced portrayal of life in a small town during that time period. Overall, John Ward Preacher is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that explores timeless themes of faith, doubt, and the human condition.1888. Deland's career began in the greeting card business. The story begins: The evening before Helen Jeffrey's wedding day, the whole household at the rectory came out into the garden. The fact is, said Dr. Howe, smiling good-naturedly at his niece, the importance of this occasion has made everybody so full of suppressed excitement one can't breathe in the house. And indeed a wedding in Ashurst had all the charm of novelty. Why, bless my soul, said the rector, let me see: it must be ten-no, twelve years since Mary Drayton was married, and that was our last wedding. Well, we couldn't stand such dissipation oftener; it would wake us up.
