Jordan InglisMs ArmstrongENG 3UOOctober 23, 2014Memoirs of Reverend HaleI write here in the last days of my life. My life has been full of many wonderful experiences and I thank God for that. However, the events of nearly a decade ago are a black mark on my legacy, an event that will forever haunt my spirit as it travels the Earth within my body and as I ascend to heaven to be with the Lord. The unjust hangings of many of God's people, including the Honorable John Proctor and Rebecca Nurse, were a regrettable moment in my life and throughout New England. I have spent my whole life serving God, seeking those who sympathize with him. Lucifer and help them find God. When I was called to Salem in 1692, I expected nothing extraordinary. There was strong evidence that many of the townspeople had been corrupted by Satan and that they were possessing and terrorizing many of the young girls in the village. Oh, how naive I was. I believe my knowledge could only lead me. I often wonder what made God abandon Salem when Salem truly needed Him the most. I had been in the village for almost a week when I realized there was something... wrong. There seemed to be an underlying atmosphere of fear and animosity. Of course, with my wide, innocent eyes at the time, I assumed that Satan's presence had damaged the townspeople's mutual trust. Again, I happily accepted this, and I was wrong. Everything changed when I arrived at John Proctor's house. I had to inspect the piety of the Proctor household, as there was reason to believe that Proctor may be involved with Satan. Once again, I let my human impulsiveness get in the way of my responsibility as a man of God to see everything as in the middle of a paper......a Proctor confession, if only to save life. of a pious man. The world is desperate for wise men who can see beyond deception. However, despite his wife's pleas, John refused to name anyone else as Satan's servant and harm Proctor's name. His pride led to his death. He couldn't stand to be a coward and I deeply respect him for that. If John Proctor didn't ascend to heaven, then I and everyone else should burn in hell. Years later, I have not been able to understand the insignificant deaths of godly people in Salem. The murder of godly men by other godly men is surely a dark time. I have the impression that Satan was present in the village at that time, but in each of us. Such a terrible loss of a godly life could only be the work of Lucifer. Oh, if only I had seen it sooner. I will take the guilt and helplessness with me to my grave, so help me God.
