THE POOR LITTLE WITCH by Jack T. Chick adapted from comic form by J. Brad Hicks On a crowded volleyball court, one girl lay dejected on the ground. Her classmates derided her: "@#*!! Mandy dropped the ball AGAIN!" "Of course!" "Mandy! ... Can't you do ANYTHING right?" "Why do we have to put up with HER?" Mandy could only sob, "I'm sorry!" That night, she went to her mom for sympathy, but her mother didn't even look up from the bills. "Don't talk to me now, Mandy! Can't you see I'm busy? Since your father left us I'm the only one to support this family ..." Alone in her room, Mandy was inconsolable. "I'd give anything to be like the other girls ... If only I could BE someone!" A passing demon smiled, and silently said, "You CAN be ... I'll see to that!" The next day in one of her classes, the pretty young teacher singled her out. "Mandy, could you stay after school please?" ("Oh. Oh. What did I do wrong?" worried Mandy.) But the teacher wanted to talk about something else. "Mandy, I know you're lonely, but you're such a sweet and talented girl ... You should have a lot of friends." Mandy was dumb-struck. "Me?" Later, she told her mother, "Mom, my teacher, Mrs. White, has invited me to a slumber party at her house this weekend. She's really nice. Can I go?" Her mother replied, "Sure, why not?" That weekend, as Mandy approached the house, Mrs. White warned the other girls. "We have a new girl ... Mandy! Go easy with her. She doesn't know!" That night, one of the girls said to her, "Hey, Mandy, do you want to learn some really neat new things?" "Sure," said Mandy. Another girl nudged her and said, "Watch this." In minutes, the coffee table was hovering several feet above the ground. Mandy was astonished! "WOW! Could I do that?" "It's easy," the girl replied, "we'll show you how." Two weeks later, one of the older girls in the group came to Mandy with a suggestion. "Hey, Mandy, how would you like to see the other girls drop the ball in P.E.?" Mandy didn't have to think twice. "I WISH! They're always putting me down. Is there a way?" The older girl nodded, and said, "Sure ... here's what you do. Before you go to school, light a candle, sit and stare into the light and ask Bruth to help you." "Who's Bruth?" Mandy wanted to know. "Oh ... he's just a friend," the other girl replied. "Just try it and you'll see." The next morning before school, Mandy sat on her bed and stared hard at the candle on the nightstand. "Oh, Bruth, you are my friend. Please help me in P.E. today! Make Cathy drop the ball!" she said. Feeling something more was required, she added, "I command you!" The half-visible demon hovering just outside her field of vision nodded. "Gotcha, Baby!" he silently replied. And that day in P.E., it was a different girl who crouched on the volleyball court after a painful stumble. A teammate berated her, "Cathy, you're screwing up today. That's the THIRD TIME ... even Mandy's playing better than you!" In the back, Mandy secretly smiled. "WOW!" she thought, "This is great!" Across town in the big new church building, a crowd gathers around the large and cheerful figure of the new pastor. "Pastor ... what a blessing to have you lead our congregation," one woman gushes. A balding gentleman held out a thick wad of bills, and said, "Here's a love gift, Reverend, go buy some new suits." Another man asked, "Do you find the parsonage comfortable, Rev. Chuckwyn?" Pastor Chuckwyn was enthusiastic. "Oh my yes, Mr. White ... It's a palace. Why, I've never been treated so well ... Praise the Lord!" A demon hidden at the back of the crowd had other thoughs. "We'll take good care of you, Chuckwyn!" he silently vowed. After the Pastor left, saying to himself, "They love me!", there was a meeting upstairs at the big new church. "What do you think of him?" "He's a JERK ... he doesn't believe the Bible ... so he's ours ... bought and paid for." "We'll use the same technique on him as we did with the others. Next month I'll ask him to join the lodge." "GOOD ... our church will grow fast because he won't offend anyone!" Meanwhile, Mrs. White had important news. "Mandy, you have grown so fast that we feel you should attend this meeting. You will really increase your powers." Flattered, Mandy replied, "That's great, Mrs. White!" In the car on their way to the "meeting," Mandy and Mrs. White happened to pass by a small downtown church. The hymn "Power in the Blood" filled the air, and filled Mrs. White with fear and rage. Mandy saw Mrs. White's reaction, and was concerned. "What's the matter, Mrs. White, are you sick? You're shaking!" Mrs. White glared at the simple, hand-painted sign that read "Gospel Hall" and obliquely replied, "Don't ever go in that place, Mandy, it's very evil ... One of our traitors goes there! Don't ever have anything to do with old Mrs. Grayson or that place ... You'll be sorry if you do." It was dark and the full moon was rising when the two women arrived at an old barn outside of town. "Gee, Mrs. White," said Mandy, "I've never seen any place like this ... What's going on?" Mrs. White was silent, but thought to herself, "You haven't seen nuthin' yet, kid!" Inside, everyone wore identical black robes. A sinister-looking man ascended the altar and addressed the crowd. "Welcome, beloved brothers and sisters. Tonight is a night of great celebration and sacrifice to our most Holy Father in order that he might poor out his his blessings upon us." A woman knelt before him and blindly offered up her baby. Candles flickered as the leader continued, "Sister Loraine has especially conceived this child for tonight." He laid the baby on the altar, and his dagger rose high as the crowd circled round and, over the baby's terrified cries, chanted, "HAIL SATAN!" [1] Within her hooded robe, Mandy gasped, dumb-struck and paralyzed with fear. "This can't be!" she thought to herself. But Mrs. White, robed like the rest, turned to her with a large chalice. "Here, Mandy, you MUST drink of the child's blood and our Father will bless you and give you increased powers." "No! ... No! I can't ... I'm sick," Mandy desperately cried. But Mrs. White was grimly determined. "Drink, Mandy! OR DIE!" Terrified, Mandy surrendered. "O.K., O.K. ... I'll do it." In the car driving away, Mrs. White was displeased, and Mandy was still horror-stricken. Mrs. White grimly said, "Mandy, I see you were quite upset tonight ... Don't even THINK of going to the police! Our High Priest IS the Chief of Police! ... There's no way out!" Alone in her room, Mandy sobbed hysterically. "I had no idea what I was getting into ... There MUST be a way out," she moaned. "I've never been so scared in my life ... what am I going to do?" In her desperation, Mandy went to the big Christian church looking for help, unaware that Mr. And Mrs. White are members. The pastor enthusiastically proclaimed, "Welcome to God's house!" and Mandy thought, "Maybe he can help me," but in the choir loft, Mrs. White had other thoughts. "Surprise, surprise. There's little Mandy ... When I tell the High Priest ... she's dead!" After church, it was an angry crowd of adults who approached Reverend Chuckwyn. A tall woman started off with strong words. "Pastor, a witch visited our church this morning. If she joins our church, she'll destroy our children! You MUST speak out against witchcraft or we leave!" A grim look swept across the pastor's face, and he said, "This is most distressing." The tall woman's balding husband handed the pastor another wad of money and said, "Pastor, here's another little gift showing our appreciation ... Just get rid of the witch, O.K.?" That evening, Reverend Chuckwyn's demeanor was less cheerful. Angrily, he shouted, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live[2] ... We will NOT tolerate witches here! They are reprobate! (Fore-ordained to damnation.)"[3] As the choir shouted, "AMEN!", Mandy gasped. "He's speaking about me! What am I going to do?" she thought to herself. On the night of the next full moon, she nerved herself up to visit a house on the edge of town. "Mrs. White said that Mrs. Grayson was a traitor," Mandy worried aloud. "I've got nothing to lose ... I've GOT to take the chance! Oh God ... help me!" As the rising moon looked on, Mandy knocked on the door. The door opened, and a woman looked out and gently said, "Come in, my dear. May I help you?" At her kindness, Mandy began to sob again. "I'm in such trouble," Mandy began. "Mrs. White said there's no way out." Recognition spread across Mrs. Grayson's face. "Oh, yes there is ... I know Mrs. White and she's a liar." After they went in and sat down, Mrs. White asked, "You got into Satanism, didn't you, dear?" Still sobbing, Mandy choked out, "Yes, and they killed a baby and ... and ..." She gasped for breath and continued on another tack. "How can I get out? Even that pastor said there's no hope for me." Mrs. White asked, "The church on Maple Road?" "Yes," Mandy replied. Mrs. White helped her up and led her out to the car. "I was in the craft once and I know these people mean business. They WILL kill you if they can. Come with me now, sweetie. I was just on my way to church. These people are TRUE servants of God ... We'll show you how you can be set free." And at the Gospel Hall, after the service, the pastor spoke privately with Mandy and Mrs. Grayson. "Mandy," he said, "Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins.[4] His precious blood cancels any contract you've made with Satan and it washes away your sins.[5] All you have to do is pray and ask Jesus Christ to save you[6] and become your Lord and Master ... Then you can use His power to get rid of the demons.[7]" The three of them knelt, and Mandy quietly prayed. "Lord Jesus, please forgive me and wash me clean. I want you as my Lord and personal Savior .. I want to serve YOU instead of Satan." The pastor gently interrupted, "Now Mandy, you must rebuke Satan and his demons in the name of Jesus." Determined, Mandy prayed on. "Satan, I will no longer serve you. Jesus is now my Savior, Lord and Master ... Bruth, you and all you demons in my body, soul and spirit ... I command you now to leave me at once in the name of Jesus Christ[8] my Lord!" And several ghostly demons came out of her body and fled screaming into the moonlit night.[9] As they rose from their knees, Mrs. Grayson said to Mandy, "You must not go home alone tonight, dear ... This is the full moon ... It's too dangerous." "Yes, Mandy," the pastor agreed, "Stay with us for awhile ... They'll try to kill you." "Please, Mandy!" Mrs. Grayson pleaded. But Mandy smiled confidently and said, "Oh ... No thank you! I'll be alright." But as Mandy walked home alone, a black van with a pentacle in the rear window pulled up beside her, and two thugs jumped out and grabbed her. "It's party time, kid," said one of them as they shoved her into the back. Mandy was murdered by the satanists, but she stood firm and didn't deny Jesus. That same night, Pastor Chuckwyn died in his sleep. As Mandy knelt before the throne of God, the Figure on the throne proclaimed, "Well done thou good and faithful servant ... you did not deny my name[10] ... therefore I am not ashamed of you, Mandy. Enter thou into the joy of the Lord." Then Pastor Chuckwyn stood before the throne, waving his hands and shouting, "Here I am, Lord." But Jesus said to him, "Chuckwyn, you worker of iniquity (evil). The blood of Mandy and many others is on your hands. You called on my name but did not follow my commands. You worked for money and the praise of men ... and you despised the word of God. NOW, DEPART FROM ME INTO HELL."[11] ______________________________________________________________________________ 1.
