HISTORY OF WENHAM.
agency, or attributed to their influence the novel and unaccountable manifestations of disease. These errors they shared with the profoundest philoso- phers and wisest statesmen of their day. I have adverted to the fact that four Wenham men were upon the jury, which tried the cases of witchcraft in this county, and that Thomas Fisk, the patriarch of the town, was their foreman. We wonder at their superstition ; but in this age of Millerism, and Mormonism, and Spiritual Rappings, have we much right to blame or ridicule our forefathers ?
We boast of our liberality and enlightenment, but let us beware lest we mistake indecision and indifference for liberality and toleration in religious things. Let us remember, " that if controversy is a sign of imperfect development or distempered action, indifference, whether in philosophy or religion, is death." Christianity has never assumed the attitude of compromise ; it has never aimed to establish a patchwork alliance of right and wrong, of truth and error. While therefore we renounce the application of force, and allow to every one the utmost freedom of conscience, let us hold fast the love of truth with a sincerity and devotion not inferior to that of our noble forefathers.
The history of Wenham has not been marked by any great and striking events, nor even by any startling incidents. The changes which have been described have resulted from the slow and silent progress of time. They have been effected by

those gradual and scarcely perceptible, yet mighty influences which are often unnoticed by the common observer and even by the historian, but which are yet most powerful in determining the destinies of individuals and communities, as well as of nations.
The inhabitants of this town have been characterized by industry, prudence, and love of order. They have generally been cautious and frugal, rather than bold and enterprising. Thus while they have not shared largely in the gains of speculation, they have been free from its losses and reverses. It has also been characteristic of them in former times to live soberly and peaceably. Religious quarrels have been seldom known. Cases of litigation have been so few and unim- portant that no member of the legal profession has ever thought it worth while to take up his abode here. In old times, vagabonds and worthless characters from abroad were often warned from town. "So far as we can learn," says Rev. D. Mansfield, " no one of the original settlers, or of their descendents, has ever been charged with a capital crime, and no citizen of Wenham has ever been a tenant of a state prison."
The generations who have lived here before us were a strictly pious people, blending the religious sentiment with all their purposes and actions. In times of trial and calamity, they resorted to fast- ing and prayer. They loved the house of God. The Sabbath was to them a day of sacred rest, and

observed with a strictness and severity now almost unknown. And they diligently trained up their children to follow in their footsteps and to imitate their example.
We boast that we are better than our fathers, and as a people, we are undoubtedly more numerous and wealthy, more intelligent and re- fined. But have we more of the elements of real life, of energy, and of heroism ? Could we endure the trials which they endured, and come out of them so little scathed ? With more of elegance and polish have we not lost something of their stern virtue, and rugged native strength. In the progress of luxury and refinement, let us beware that we dopart not too much from the simplicity, earnestness, and intensity of faith and action, which charactized our fathers.
A feeling of profound melancholy naturally steals over the mind in perusing the names and actions of those, who once lived and labored like us, but whose only memorial is now contained in the scarely legible and fast decaying pages of our records. Our fathers where are they ? The early settlers of the town and all who were conspicuous in the first century and a half of its history, are sleeping in the grave.
Thus generation follows generation, while in turn each lives and bustles,
" And struts and frets its hour upon the stage, And then-is seen no more."
220
HISTORY OF WENHAM.
In a few years we too shall be with them, while another generation shall move over these grounds and occupy our places.
Yet the general lesson of history is not that of despondency and gloom. From the earliest settle- ment of Wenham till the present time, we believe there has been a steady course of progress and im- provement. Let is be our effort that this onward march be continued. History does not repeat itself ; the Puritan of 1640, and the Patriot of 1776, will never return. But it is possible for us to live nobly and manfully as well as they. While we honor their virtues and cherish the noble institu- tions of freedom, of education and religion, which they left us, let us seek to combine with their simplicity, sincerity, and intensity of purpose, a finer taste, a higher culture, an increase of know- ledge, and a more intelligent faith. It remains for us to finish the glorious temple of which they formed the noble plan and laid the firm foundation.
