| Summary | "John Ward, Preacher" by Margaret Wade Campbell Deland is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around John Ward, a passionate and earnest preacher, and his engagement to Helen Jeffrey, set against the backdrop of a sleepy village called Ashurst. The book explores themes of duty, faith, and the complexities of love, particularly the differences in belief between John and Helen, which pose challenges to their relationship. At the start of the novel, the setting is established on the eve of Helen’s wedding day. The characters are introduced, including Dr. Howe, the local rector, and the Misses Woodhouse, who contribute to the delightful but complex atmosphere of Ashurst. The chapter reveals the anticipation of the wedding, underlying tensions in John Ward's earnestness regarding spiritual matters, and his concern about Helen's beliefs regarding faith and the Bible. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that John is not only focused on their love but also deeply troubled by Helen's differing views on faith and her spiritual condition. The opening sets up a conflict between personal happiness and theological duty, hinting at the thematic exploration that will follow. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
