Standing at point 3, look up at the south wall of the
Sanctuary to see the windows of the Four Evangelists: Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John. Below them are two arches with Tablets inscribed
with the names of the Old South Church’s nineteen ministers from 1669 to
2002. Adjacent to these tablets at the southwest comer is another
Tablet
dedicated to Samuel Sewall, the diarist and judge who, in 1697 at the
Cedar Meeting House, publicly recanted the error of his rulings as one
of the nine Salem witch trial judges who condemned 32 women and men to
death in 1692.

On the north wall, opposite the Evangelists, are
the four windows depicting the Old Testament Prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah,
Ezekiel, and Daniel. Below the Prophets, at the comer, is a Plaque
to Edward Newton Whittier, 1841-1902, a Union Army officer awarded
the Medal of Honor. High on the west (back) wall, is a a Tablet in memory
of the Revolutionary patriot and brewer Samuel Adams, who joined the church
in 1789. To the right of the doors is a Plaque in memory of Associate
Minister Robert H. Christenson, who died in 1989 and in whose honor
the Great Cross was hung in the Sanctuary in 1990.
