prisoned here. I have it en- the au-
thority of a Boston minister, who
knows the story Of the Guildhall
through and through, that the tradi-
ton is baseless. Indeed, was John
Cotton ever imprisoned anywhere?
Nevertheless, these cruel stones are
sacred to the Pilgram Fathers. 1t is
part CT history that some of the Sepa-
r~atists, including William Brewster
and William Bradford, formed the res
olution of going from Boston to Hol-
land by a Dutch sloop. They were ap-
pretended at the point of sailing, and
lodged, not without contumely, in
these very cells. The cells we're in
the nature of a place of retention
while the prisoners were awaiting the
magistrates, rather than an actual
dungeon in which they served a SEN
tence. But it was a h~eartbreaking ex-
p%erience for the elders, meaning
months of confinement for some Of
them. Brewster suffered the most.
1t is strange by what threads the
present is bound to the distant past.
A few PAGES from this very Guildhall
there Is another illustration of times
whirligigs. At the back of a timber
yard is the red-brick Hussey tower, a
structure about as old as tho Inflated
Tattershall castle, ten miles away.
The owner was Sir John Hussey, who
was beheaded by Henry VIII. for high
treason. At about the same period a
sum OF money was left by a member
OF the Hussey family for the educa-
ton Of black slaves, md. strangely
enough. the fruits Of that legacy have
20Sae recently been applied to the
work OF DR.. Karl Kumm in Africa.
That old tower. with it's broken para
pet. and the land about it is. through
a medieval Scqueathment, assisting
tint Regions Beyond Missionary union.
Is 1t not strange how old things work
themselves out?

is Boston-the Boston which tourists
from the greater city of Massachusetts
carry home in the minds vision. Yet
from several points of view the grand
old church, in spite of its lofty PIN
nacles and sweet carlton, is less in

the local past than a building a hum

by comparison. This is the old Guild
hall, long since disused for municipal
assemblies, and now to be turned into
a towns museum as a memorial to
the late King.
