On the lectern at the church. It's a particular source of
agitation for John Proctor, who feels that his and other members of the congregation's
money is being wasted by their preacher. He states that it hurts his faith to see "my
money glaring at his elbows" when questioned by Reverend Hale about his spotty church
attendance.
It is also a window into the character of
Parris, who seems a little dimwitted, actually, and caught up in the trappings of
privilege that go along with his job, and his position in Salem
society.
