Hud * The Inquisition «•¥ HAVE depopulated hajftfr * lages, rich towns and fertile districts of my beloved country in the holy name of religion," wrote Queen Isabella of 8paln In the last part of the Fifteenth century. But the religion of which she spoke was not one based upon the Scriptures, nor upon the creeds of either Catholics or Protestants, nor of any other branch of the Church of Christ It was a man-made dogma, with torture and intimidation for basis. In 1480 the Inquisition, or "Holy Office," as It was termed, was organised in Spain. The Spanish nation was almost at the height of its greatness. The marriage of Ferdinand and I Isabella had united the mighty prov- j Inces of Castile and Aragon. There were thousands of Moors (Mahomed tans from Afr!ch) and other non-Christians throughout the country. These were, in many cases, rich and powerful. The church feared that Chris- J tlanity's supremacy was in danger. | Hence the great body of Moors were driven out! and those who remained, j as well as followers of other religions, were forced, on pain of death, to embrace Christianity. Then the Inquisition turned Its attention to so-called heretics, and Spain gained a reputation for heartless cruelty from which It has never "wholly recovered. At Seville, In 1481, the Inquisition began its actual work. During that year, In Seville, alone, 298 victims were burned. Throughout all the nation about 2,000 suffered a like fate Thomas of Torqueniada, a Dominican, was made president of the holy office. He ffnd his successor, Cardinal Xlmlnes, made It a national Institution whose name aroused panic and„ hatred In every district of Spain and aroused even the callous Fifteenth century Englishmen to indignation. The Inquisition's mode of procedure was unique. A mat), woman or child was suspected of heresy, seized and subjected to an irregular preliminary examination. Then all the evidence and suspicious circumstances In the case were submitted to a higher body. The members of this, fearing lest their own holy zeal might otherwise be questioned, usually decided against the prisoner. The latter was then locked up in solitary confinement and a sort of "third degree" was applied to force a confession of guilt and to enroll the victim as a "penitent." If no confession was forthcoming the most horrible tortures were applied. Most of these tortures were of too atrocious a nature to bear description. A few of the less unspeakable were the "thumb-screw," the "boot," the "rack" and the "virgin." The thumb-screw and boot crushed the fln gers and feet, respectively, to a Jelly. The rack w&s an apparatns to which a prisoner was strapped while every Joint was stretched and twisted until sinews were torn apart and bones crushed. The "virgin" was a hollow Image lined with spikes. The victim was placed within It and the spikes driven slowly into his flesh. In these hideous ways did the Inquisitors of Spain seek to enforce the gentle doctrines of peace, forgiveness and love. If the suspect still refused to confess he was carried to the highest court of the Inquisition, and there, for the first time, he heard the charges against him and was allowed to reply to them. Heretofore, be had had no j clear Idea of what particular crime he i was accused. The defense was usual- j ly a mere mockery. If the victim had , wealthy friends he could appeal to j Rome. Thus, while the local Inquisition confiscated the captive's property, j the papal headquarters also got his i friends' money. j In the rare cases of acquittal there j was no redress for torture. Imprison-; ment and loss of fortune. If con- ; vlcted. the condemned heretic was burned alive. The motto of the holy office was "Miserlcordla et Justltla"-- | "Mercy and Justice!** • Such horrors drove people from the country by the hundred thousand. In seventy years the hitherto Increasing population of Spain dropped from 10. j 000.000 to «.<*V>.000. Trade, agrlcul j ture, manufactures and all Industries j were brought to a staNd^tlll. Whole districts were depopulated. j But there Is. perhaps, no great evil , without some compensating good While the reign of terror was at Its j height a golden gateway of escape j opened to westward. America was dls- | covered. In the new lend men might ho^e to live reasonably free from the ' demoniacal tortures of the Inquisition j Accordingly the ms'treated Spaniards j flocked thither In thousands. Towns, villages and rural districts in the New World were speedily (lljed*, by the j refugees. In considering the Inquisition It must not, for a moment, be Imagined i that the holy office had the approval j of Christians at large, or that It re- j fleeted discredit on the true tenets of ; the church. There can be no great ' and holy cause that does not some- ; where lead to abuses and misrule j So the medieval Spaniards merely used Christianity as an instrument wherewith to wreak their own cruelty | and Injustice. i And, after all, were their crimes so much more atrocious than the slaying I of crazy old women as witches by the i pious Puritans of New England or the j wholesale slaughter^ of innocent Mos- j lem children by Godfrey de Bouillon j and the holy Crusaders? By MARTHA M. WILLIAMS (Copyright.) MISS SEDLEY shook her bead so violently that each of the seven plumes on her new picture hat stood'? at a different angle. The effect was grotesque, little as she dieoiued It-- instead her thought was how wonderfully fetching It must appear in village eyes. Certainly it could not be copied by home milliners \ ho aforetime, had tried her soul. Worst among these offenders was Marge Benton. Marge, a school teacher, was vocation-bound to be the pattern of primness to her pupils. Instead she inclined them by precept and example to trail after styles they could not possibly hope to approach-- thereby, said Miss Sedley to her mat^s, the.v made themselves ridiculous caricatures of their betters. In virtue of her fortune she .had elected herself social leader of Lindentown-- and so far she had got away with it. Almost In the cradle she had developed a crush upon all her belongings, and, especially, tier flgure-^lt was so statuesque. A fine tailor, given carte blanche, might have made the epithet descriptive. At the hands of a passionate mail-order catalogue addict the result can be pie* tured only by a fluent imagination. This fall the catalogues had. according to Jess Tyree, the village oracle. "Done thar driest, jest when they oughtt* not." There was, you see, a drive on--for a trifle of a million endowment for X Y Z university, which had a Lindentowner for president. Bright and early Monday, Greatness, of Men and Causes, would flo td the town. A bishop, freshly wldowered, headed tlie list, two senators tupi orted him, flanked by congressmen, and Jodsies galore. Hence the flutterlngs of the dove cotes. LTndentown was, to put It mildly, shy at least a dozen eligibles. Now for years there had been speculation as to how, when, where, and whether Sarah Sedley would find a man she'd think worth her taking. Not so young now, Sarali--twenty-six, maybe more. What wonder Lindeutown all but unanimously elected the coming bishop her predestined mate! Lindentown made holiday gailyput on its best looks, clothes, mood. The Great in procession passed up and down and athwart its limits, smiling, saluting, swapping merry banter with the natives. Sarah Sedley had elected to meet them at the train. And Marge was to sing on the great occasion--not alone but leading an Elves' chorus of ,ten small green-clad girls she bad been training In strict privacy for a month. Billy Durant had made that possible--his big empty house had given fine exercise space. After listening once Qr twice he had smiled, nodded, and said off-handedly to Marge: "We'll have a float all leaves and flowers and things--surprise the crowd with it just as the bishop finishes--after they're done some one shall say these golden voices are samples of our native ores--wanting to work the mine is why we need capital--" ' At earliest dawn of the great day Lindentown began to stir and thrill. Things went like clockwork. The parade formed and filled magically, and got under way without a single hitch. Sarah Sedley, in the forefront, had never felt finer--nor looked worse. She thought the bishop impressed. He was--but not exactly as she would have chosen him to be. Maybe she took his breath, else maybe the cat got his tongue. He spoke something fiurriedly less than twenty mlqutes instead of the hour everybody had come to hear. Then In waltzed a string hand socially ordered by Billy Durant--and to its last sweet strains there rolled majestically in front of the stand what seemed a magic miniature forest, witlv, elves perched here and there, showing now a heed, now a dimpled hand, now the dancirig llicker of a small lovely foot and leg. Then, as a hidden soim body drew a long lovely chord from a fine obi fiddle, music such as l.indentown had never before heard. Marge, amhushed in thick greenery, sang her very best --high golden notes that accented the young chanting. Not long drawn out-- twelve minutes at the most. Then came Ned Woodruff to take the crowd by storm--in the midst of which the hlstjop held up a silencing hand a<* he rose to say: "A wholly new experience. iny friends! Who before us-has. listened to elfin music, led hj the voice «»f un angel?" After that things had to go with s- rush--'there was hardly n bit of use for Organized Enthusiasm--money came galumphing. |>opping. |Miuring In on every hand KvervlMxIv caught the spirit of giving--a giving that did not hurt. Marge stood pnlpitum- pnllm! into the limelight against her will Sarah Sedley had called out with :i high trill, "A thousand more right here! Anybody want to top It?" "I do!" from Durant, turning t«» face the bishop as he s|N>ke. "Will ten thousand extra tempt you • «» m»rry ine right off the reel? Been waiting a long time to have u bishop handy--" "With all my heart!" cried the bishop; "the bride--where Is she?" "Also waiting--I picked her out the day she was born,** Durant wild superbly. "But I dared not tell ber so until all things were ready--" "Ah!" said the bishop with his most benevolent Intonation; "I understand. Let the good work go forward."
