JUDGE SEwELL's PENANCE.
Humiliation of Prominent Figure In tn,
Witchcraft P%esecutiOns.

Humiliation of Prominent Figure In the
Witchcraft PesecutiOns.
The custom of performing penance
in public by humiliation in church,
either through significant action, po-
sition or confession, was not peculiar
to the Presbyterian and Puritan
churches, but it is as old as the church
OF Rome. All ranks and conditions of
men shared in this humiliation. An
English King, Henry H., a German
Emperor, Henry ~, tho famous Ouch
ess of Gloucester and Jane Shore are
noted expamples. Doing public pen
ance in this way was common through
out the American colonies, says Mrs.
Earle in Curious Punishments of
Bygone Days"
The most striking and noble figure
to suffer public penance in American
history was Judge Samuel Sewall. He
was one of the Board of Magistrates
who sat in judgment at the famous
witchcraft trials in Salem and Boston
IN the first century of New England
life. Through his persecution and
by his sentence many innocent lives
were sacrificed.
Judge Sewall was u steadfast Chris
tlan, a man deeply interpretive, abso-
lutely upright and painfully conscien.
tious: AS years passed by and all
superstitious excitement was dead,
many of the so called victims confessed
their fraud, and in the light of these
confessions, and with calmer judg
ment and years of unshrinking thought,
Judge Sewail became convinced that
his decisions had been unjust, his con-
demnation cruel and his sentences ap.
pallingly awful.
Though his public confession and
recantation was bitterly opposed by
his fellow Judge, Stoughton, he sent
to his minister a written confession of
misjudge tent, his remorse, his sorrow.
1t was read aloud at the Sabbath ser.
vice in the Boston church while the
white haired Judge stood in the face
of the whole congregation with bowed
head and aching heart.
For his self abnegation he has been
honored in story and verse; honored
more in his time OF penance than in
the many positions of trust and dignity
bestowed on him by his fellow citizens.

Then catch a fly and place it in the

because it is entirely surrounded by

because it is nearly surrounded by
