RELIGION •6F THE PUIRTANe.
A writer in the Christian Witness, review
ing the different religious societies of the
work!, giros tha following vigorous picture
of the religious creed and praotjaiie of the
Biel of Puritans:
"The PUritline — liTioTen F ngland and set

the Indians, enslaved their women and
children, sold them Into foreign bondage,
and visited the most inhuman and self-de

whom they came in contact. They plun

employed and paid as:manias. Bribes Were
paid for the assassination of chiefs. They
burned hundreds of the natives alive. They
roasted at the stoke women and children,
and burped them iu heaps. Their ablest

that they died that day sent four huudrad

"They turned upon the Quakett. They

They passed laws against all other sects.
They flogged inhumanly women and chil
dren. They put them i 9 prison and whipped
them daily. They cut off their oars. They
bored their tongues with red hot irons.
They hung Jneu,'women and - children as
witches, and continued it for fifty years.
The colonies of
- New England were threat
ened With absolute estemnination by their
fanaticism. . They exiled Baptists and
Catholics. They drove women and helpless
children, under severest penalties, to seek
proteotiou among the savages, i where they
were all murdered because tiii;y• differed
with them on ques'ions of meti.physical di
•inity. Mather, the entire clergy, the gov
ernors and legislatures all combined and
vied with each .otlierin radical fury and
hate. As late as 1740 they enacted the
most barbarous laws against sectarianism,
and enforced the Saybrook Platform.
"And this was all done after the geniuses
above named bad written. Chewier 'had
three centuries before written' 'the Canter
bury Tales. Spencer hod given the world
the Fairy Queen and drawn the character of
Arthur. A plan whose milling to please the
world in an age of almost universal corrup
