"Is there any other charge against
Sister Jerueby?"'
The voice of the interlocutor ceased,
and for several ominous seconds the
rude walls of the little log church echo
ed not a single sound
The restless wayfarer, pausing at the
door for a passing impression, might
feel that here at last Peace had folded
her wings here where the Sabbath
quiet rested upon the simple country
folk as the Indian-summer sunshine
rested on the stretch of level cotton
fields outside. But peace and unrest,
joy and regretting are born of the hu
man heart; and "far from the madding
crowd" the little tragedy called Life is
often played out to its bitterest.
"Brother Moderator, I've got a seri
ous charge to make," It was a nasal,
woman's voice that broke the silence.
The slow, deliberate gaze of her uncouth
listeners turned on Sister Eliza Wat
kins as she rose from ner seat, removed
her broad brimmed straw hat, and took
her long snuff-brush out of her mouth
to gesticulate with.
During the harangue which followed,
the attention of the congregation shifted
to and fro between the accuser and the
accused. "Jerushy" sat on the first of
'the plain pine benches on the women's
side, right in front of the Brother
Moderator and in full view of all pres
ent. And all were present, for it had
been many a day since this unrelent
ing little Protestant band had tried one
of its members for heresey, and it was a
sight well worth seeing. How much
"conviction" was brought home to the
accused by Sister Watkins' testimony,
could not be guessnd by the witness
against her or by her silent judges, for
the back and sides of Jeruahy's long,
split sunbonnet were expressive of noth
ing, and only the Brother Moderator
saw the tight clasp of the brown hands
in her lap.
"I've got serious charges to make,"
said Sister Watkins. "It ain't for me
to say with Brother Lathrop that Je
rushy bows down to them little tin
saints and worships 'em; though I can
say, and I do say that she keeps 'em
uncommon clear of dust. And I ain't
splittin' no hairs with Meiviny Wil
liams and Sally Toole about her callin'
the Virgin Mary the "Blessed Virgin"
and fasin' on Fridays. What I've got
to say is serious." AH ears and eyee
were now with the speaker, all except
Jeruahy's; her sunbonnet never moved
an apparent hair's-breadth.
"I'll call Mis' Sly over there to wit
ness'' Mrs. Sly nodded vigorously,
even before she heard what she was
being called upon to corroborate "that
just as soon as I heard Jerushy was
