John Ward Preacher is a novel written by Margaret Deland. The story is set in a small New England town and revolves around the life of John Ward, a young minister who has recently moved to the town to take over the local church. John is a passionate preacher who is deeply committed to his faith and his congregation. However, he soon finds himself struggling to balance his personal life with his duties as a minister. His relationship with his wife, Mary, becomes strained as he becomes increasingly consumed with his work. Meanwhile, the town is facing its own set of challenges, including a group of rebellious young people who are causing trouble and a wealthy businessman who is trying to take over the town. As John tries to navigate these challenges, he must also confront his own doubts and fears about his faith and his calling as a preacher. John Ward Preacher is a thought-provoking and insightful novel that explores the complexities of faith, family, and community in a small town setting.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.
