TheRevengeofaCast-OutDevil

TheCureandmyselfhadbeendiscussingthequestionof'possession"by evilspirits.Agreeingwithhimthat thethingwasmuchmorecommonthan isgenerallysupposed,Iremarked thatitwas,nevertheless,verydifficult togetpeopletobelievethis.

"Andyet,"hereplied,''infaceofthe statement'InMyNametheyshallcast outdevils,'itisobviouslyimpossible foranyChristiantodeny,eitherthe doctrineof'possession'orthatthe powerofexorcismwasgiventothe Church."

"Andthat,"Isaid,"raisesapoint uponwhichIshouldmuchliketobe enlightened."Then,turningup't tlepamphletwhichwaspublishedi.. 1908,Ireadthis,passagetomyfriend

"Tohercredit,beitsaid,thatthe greatChurchofRomehastestified herunchangingbeliefintheorthodoxyandefficacyofexorcism butthereislittledoubtthatitis veryrarelyresortedto,andtheques- tionnaturallyarises-'Whatisthe reason?'"

ItoldtheCurethatIhadoften askedmyselftheself-samequestion. Sinceexorcismbelongstooneofthe MinorOrders,andthelessiscontained inthegreater,everypriestwasneces. sarilyanexorcist:whythenwasnos thepowermorefrequentlyused,especiallyas"possession"wasadmittedly ontheincrease?

Marynevergave,yourrevisedopinion ofthegirl'sdevotionmighthavebeen expressedbyashrugoftheshoulders.

Letitnotbesupposed,however,that Marywasahypocrite,bywhichwe understand"onewhoisanxioustoap pear,butnotsolicitioustobe."Upto apoint,shewasquitesincereinher devotions:buthavinganexcellent opinionofherself,shedidnotrealise herfaults,andthereforehadnot broughtherreligiontobearupon them.Asamatteroffact,andin commonwithsomanyothers,shemis tookthedelightwhichshefeltinher piousexercises,forpietyitself,and finallycametotheconclusionthat shehadamarked"vocation,"andmustbecomeanun. Oneday,afterlonghesitation,she wenttoFatherMorgan,andtoldhim herwish.Itisonherreturnfrom thatinterviewthatwenowmakeher acquaintance.

Now.ofcourse.FatherMorganhad donewhatanywisepriestwoulddoin sucharase-poured-coldwateronthe idea.Hewouldnaturallydothis inordertotestthegirl'shumility, obedience.andsubmissiveness-toset, inshort.howfarshepossessedthose

Now,insteadofreturningfromthat interviewhumbled,Marywasseethingwithpassionateindignation.Herpride hadbeenverysorelywounded;hot tearsofdisappointmentandresentmentrandownhercheeks,andher wholespiritroseinangryrevolt.And thiswasthebeginningofthatweird crisisthroughwhichthepoorgirlwas destinedtopass.

ItwouldseemasthoughtheEvil Onehadlongsincemarkeddown Maryasaspecialprey.Withrare craftandsubtlety,hehadlefther unmolestedinherdevotions,nay,hailevenencouragedherinthem,whisper-ingsuggestionswhichfosteredspiritual pride.Perchance,hehadevengiven herbeautifulvisionsinthechapel, whichlayquitewithinhispower.Arse nowhecametoher,inherbitterdigappointment,andfedthefiresofrebellion,"Howurgingitsjustification. coulditbeexpectedthat FatherMorgan,asecular-VERYsecu- lar-priest,couldbeinsympathywith thereligiouslife?Therewasnot muchoftheasceticinthatportly frame,thatfat,jovialface,andboisterouslaugh!And,ofcourse,shewas awareofhisfrequentvisitstoThe Hall,wheretheSquirehadsucha choicecellar,andsuchverycharming daughters?No!Sheoughttoeon sultsomeholypriestwhowouldsee atoncethatshehadaveryrealvocation,andnotaccept,asfinal,thever- dictofonewhowassoutterlyincap- ableofappreciatingher."Andit wasnotlongbeforeallthispoison,so cunninglyadministered,begantotake effect.

Maryhadbeenspendingtheday withafriendwholivedafewmiles distant,overthemountain.During herlonelywalkhome,asnightwas falling,shehadbeenoccupiedwith herbitterreflections,whenshesudden lyrealisedthatshewasnolonger walkingonthehard,beatentrack,bu:onsoft,yieldingground.Although themoonwasshiningbrightlyina cloudlesssky,shecouldseenosignof thepathwhichshehadunconsciouslyleft;moreover,herwholesurroundings seemedstrangetoher.Maryhadab solutelynosenseoffear,asyet,for she tainshadknownandlovedthemoun allherlife,andhadfrequently takenthiswalkaloneinthemoon- light.

Therewasbutonepartofthisrug- gedmountainwithwhichshewasnot familiar,forshehadbeentaughtto avoiditbecauseoftheevilreputeof onewhodweltthere.Surely,shehad notunconsciouslywanderedthither!

Withawildcryofterror,thepoor girldartedoffatrightangles,hoping thustogetclearofitspassage;but indoingsoshetrippedoveralarge stone,andfellheavilytotheground. Amomentlater,shefoundherselfen velopedinthefoulvapour,inhaling sulphurousfumes,andfromthemidst ofthedarknesscamestrange,weirdmusic,andsoundsofmockinglaugh ter-andthensheswooned.

Afteratime,shewasrecalledtocon sciousnessbyatouchonthearm,and avoicesaid-"Rise,andfollowme." Startingtoherfeet,andpeeringint,j thegloom,Marycouldjustdiscerna shadowyfigure,whichbegantomove fromher.Therewassomething aboutitthatfilledherwithanew fear,butfeelingthatitwasheronly hope,andthatthevoicewasonewhich mustbe-obeyed,shebegantofollow. Afterlongandpainfulgroping,slit feltherselfbreathingmorefreely;and amomentlater,bothherguideand thefoghaddisappeared.Marynow foundhetselfstandingoutsideasmall hut,andwasabouttoknockwhenthe dooropened,andonthethreshold stoodanoldwoman,who,takingher bythehand,said*."Comealongin. dearie."

Beforetwelvemonthshadelapsen, Maryhadbecomeawreckofher formerself.Notonlyhadshewasted awaytoamereshadow,andbecome subjecttoterribleconvulsions,butshe wasamoralwreck,too.Shenowin dgedinthemostfilthyandblas-phemouslanguage.Whenevershe passedthechurch,whichshehadlong ceasedtoenter,shewouldinvariably spitatit,andutterfrightfulcurseson FatherMorgan.Bothheandherneighbourstriedtopersuadewidow Holttoputthegirlawaysomewhere, butthemotheeslovewasmuchtoo strongtoallowhertoconsent.One day,whenFatherMorganspoketoher inthe himchurch,-thepoorwomantook abackbysaying,"Isupposeyou know,Father,aswellasIdo,thatmy Maryis,justpossessedwithadevil."

"Yes,"hereplied,"Ithinkthatis theonlypossibleexplanation,though Ihaveshrunkfromsayingso."

"Verywell.Now,-whatI'vebeen wantingtoaskyouisthis--willyou comeandexorcisethatdevil?" "Ah!MydearMrs.Holt,thatwants alotofthinkingover.Ihavenever, before,hadsuchacasetodealwith. ButIwillconsiderthematter,andwe willtalkitoveranothertime."

Amonthlater,themotheragain wenttothePresbyteryandtold FatherMorganthatMarywasmuch worse,andwasnowinbed.Thedevil seemedtohavetakencompletepos- session,shesaid,andwasthereany reasonwhateverwhyhe'wouldnot comeandexorciseit?Finallyitwas

arrangedthatthisshouldbedoneon thefollowingday. Whenthepriestwentthenextmorningtoperformthissolemnoffice,he foundMaryveryweak,asaresultof recentconvulsions.Thedoctorwas withher,andwasinvitedtoremain; and,ofcourse,themotheralsowas present.

Donninghiscottaandstole,the priestfirstkneltinsilentprayerby thebedside.Thatherealisedtheintensesolemnityoftheoccasionwas nowevident.Onthepreviousday, hehadspokenofitinamatter-of-fact sortofway,buthewasnowshaking withemotionasheremainedonhis knees,wrestlinginprayer.Onris"ing,thefirstthinghedidwastoplace acrucifixonMary'sbreastupon which,shewasseentotrembleviolently.Hethenproceededto 3ocinkte her,andthewholeroom,withholy water,andthiswasthesignalforfoul execrationsfromtheevilspirit.Then followedtheliturgicalprayers,dining whichthevoiceofthepriestwas scarcelyaudible.

PartII.

Andnowwecometothemosttragic partofthisstrangestory.Allwent wellwithMary.Thegenerosityofthe SquireenabledwidowHolttotakeher rightawayforaconsiderabletime,and amidthenewsurroundings,shemade acompleterecovery,bothmoraland physical.Humbled,andsweetened, Marybecameatruehelpandsolaceto heroldmother.

Andhereweleaveher,foritisto FatherMorganthatwemustnowturn ourattention.

Fromthedaywhenhecastthedevil outofMary,hebecameachanged man.Notthatthischangewassudden,andatonceappreciable.Onthe contrary,itwasverygradualand subtle.Whenhehimselfwasforced toadmitit,heattributedittooverstrain--heneededachange,thatwas all.Incourseoftime,however,his parishionersbegantowhisperamong themselves:"What'scomeoverour parishpriest?He's joll" asheusedtobe."Or:"Thepoor manseemstohavesometroableon hismind.Wonderwhatitis."

Lateron,twothingswerenotedas beingparticularlyoddThedogsof thevillage,hisoldfriends,wouldgrowl ashewentby.And,stillmore strange,thechildren,whohadalways beeninthehabitofrunningupto him,andforwhomhehadalwayshad asmileandplayfulword,nowbegan toavoidhim.

HutperhapsitwasatTheHallthat thischangewascausingthemost anxiety.Atbridge,thoughafirstrateplayer,hewouldfrequentlylose hisheadcompletely,tothegreatannoyanceofhispartner.Again,inthe middleofconversation,hewouldsuddenlystartandlookroundinanervousway.Butwhatworriedthe Squiremostwasthewayinwhichhe lingeredonthere,aftertheladieshad retiredforthenight,andreplenishhis glassmuchtoooften.This,andthe factthathenowputinanappv.arancenearlyeveryevening,lefttheimpressionthatsomethingwasdistinctly wrong,andthathisstudyhadbecome unbearabletohim.

Andso,intruth,ithad.Hewas restlessandnervousthere,andunable toendurehisowncompany.Or rather,hehadlonghadafeelingthat hewasnotalonethere,butwashauntedbyastrangepresence.Onenight thisfearwasconfirmedinaverydis/Ptaancertingmanner.Ashesat,trying 4,-toread,thesilencewasabruptlybrokenbyadistinctlaugh-ahoeid,derisivelaugh-rightinhisear;andthe nextmomentaninvisiblehand',matchedthepipefromhismouth,andthrew itacrosstheroom. Farworse-thingsthanthis,however, weretofollow,foritproVedtoheno merepoltergeistthathuntedthe priest,butanevilspiritbentonhis destruction.

Thefirstrealindicationofthiso; curredonenightashewaswalking alongthe_roadatthefootofthe mountain.Afewyardsin:routof him,ahugerockroseabruptly,and partlyover-hungtheroad.When FatherMorganapproachedthisspot, alargestone,weighingmanyhundred. weights,washurledintotheroadand fellalmostathisfeet.Haditstruck himitwould,ofcourse,havemeant instantdeath.Now,thepriesthad happenedtolookupthemomentbeforeitfell,andhadtherebeenany humanbeingonthetopofthero.khe couldnothavefailedtonoteit;but hesawnoone.Whathedidsee,how-

ever,wasthatthestonedidnotroll down,asifsuddenlydislodged,hutap peeredtoberaisedfromtheground byinvisiblehands,andhurledforward overtheedge.Andthen,whenit fell,therecameasavageexecrati)n, suggestingabaffledpurpose.

Tomakeassurancedoublysure, FatherMorganimmediatelyscaledthe rock,butsoughtinvainfortheauthor ofthisattack,foranattackitwasbeyondadoubt.Subsequentevents, however,leadonetowonderwhyhis unseenenemydidnotthenandthere cometogripswithhim.Perhapsthe priestwasthenunderaspecialprotectionwhichwassubsequently-indrawn.Butweareanticipating.

Thisoccurrenceconsiderablyupset FatherMorgan,asmaywellbeimagined:buthesoughtreliefforhistroubled thoughts,notinthesilenceorthe Chapel,butinthesocietyoftheSquire andhisfamily.

Sometwoorthreeweeksafterthis (allthesehappenings,bytheway, werefoundrecordedinhisdiary)the parishpriestwasonhiswaytoasick woman,togiveherViaticum.1he cottageforwhichhewasmakingwas somedistancedownanarrowlane,on eithersideofwhichwasahighhedge. Walkingslowlyonhisway,holdingin foldedhands,beneathhiscloak,the pyxcontainingthesacredHost,he saw,standinginhispathafewyards ahead,afigurewhoseattitudeproclaimedtheintentionofopposinghispassage.Atfirstglanceitappearedto beahumanform;butacloserlookrevealeditstruenature.Afteramoment'spause,FatherMorganquietly advancedand,whenclosetohisantagonist,raisedhishands.Bythis movementthecloakwasthrownback andthepyxrevealed.Atthesame time,hecried:"IntheNameofJesus Christ,depart!"But'erethewords werespokentheevilspiritdisappeared. Oneevening,aboutaweekafterthis, thedoctorwasreturningfromr.long roundofvisits-lettinghistiredhorse takehisownleisurelypace.Looking up,hesawasightwhichcausedhim todrawrein,andlookoninamazement.Ahundredyardsinfrontof him,gesticulatingstrangelyinthemiddleoftheroad,wasthepastor.But whatintheworldwashedoing?To allappearnceshewaswrestling-but withwhom?Noopponentwasvisible. Nowhefellbackalittle;nowlunged forward,witharmswildlybeatingthe air.Thenhethrewbackhisheadand, graspingathisthroat,tuggedatsome thingthere.Thedoctor,whohad cometotheconclusionthatFather Morganhadgoneravingmat,now urgedonhis.horse.Henoticedthat theanimalwassweatingprofusely,and tremblingallover;anditwasonly byafreeuse.ofthespurthatitcould beinducedtogoforward.Then,beforethedoctorreachedhim,thepriest wasseendrophishandstohisside, andfallbackwardtotheground.

Whenthedoctorreachedthesnot,it wastofindthepriestunconscious.At first,indeed,lifeappearedtobeextinct,butaftersomeconsiderable time,hecameround.Whenheopenedhiseyes,itwastogazeabouthim withalookofabjectterror;buthe couldnotbeinducedtospeakuntilhe reachedhome,andwaslyingbackin hischair.Hisfirstwordsthenwere:

"Doctor,I'vebeenatgripswiththe devil!Doyouhear?Withthe devil."

"Nonsense,Father.Buttellme exactlywhathashappened."

Then,solemnlypledgingthedoctor tosecrecyduringhislifetime,rather Morgantoldhim,littlebylittle,how thatanevilspirithadbeenpursuing himforsometimepast,andhadmade morethan,oneattemptuponhislife.

Onthepresentoccasion,hesaid,he waswalkingalongtheroad,andhad reachedthespotwherethedoctordiscoveredhim,whenhesuddenlyfound himselffacetofacewithhisghostly foe.Therewasdreadpurposeinhis evillook,andwithasnarlhetoldhim thatpurpose.Heannouncedhimself asthespiritwhichhadbeencastoutof MaryHolt,andhispurposewas-revenge.Inquiet,humbletonesthe priestwentontoconfessthat,apart fromhissomewhatworldlylife,there hadnotbeenfittingpreparationfor thesolemnriteofExorcism.The longprecedingfastandprayerwhich theChurchenjoined,hadbeenomitted.Theresultwasthat,whilethe devilwasboundtocomeout,inthe end,whenadjuredintheNameof JesusChristCrucified,hehimselfwas notproofagainsthisevilpower,but stoodexposedtohismalice.'Moreover,"addedthepriest,pridingiryself somewhatupontheachievement,and withholdingthegloryofitfromGod, Ithusrenderedmyselfadoublyeasy preytothedevilwho,oncomingout ofthegirl,mustotherwisehave'gone tohisownplace'butwasnowfreeto molestme."
