The Reverend Daniel Shore, Vicar of Wormsford St Cuthbert, took as his text the injunction "He who spares the rod hates his own son [or daughter]", but rather than preach a sermon, he had decided to give a practical demonstration. Accordingly, he called to the front of the church his own four children, Matthew, Marcia, Lucy and Jonathan, aged respectively, 13, 12, 11, and 10. The four had not had any warning of this sudden rise to prominence, and looked embarrassed and bewildered as they went before the congregation of the parish church of the remote English village.

"Friends, you see standing before you my own beloved children. Like all youngsters their moral behaviour is not always as my wife and I would wish, and having their welfare and ultimate salvation at the centre of our being, we wield the rod of correction with a heavy heart, but an equally heavy hand."

While the minister spoke these pious words, the congregation eyed the four unfortunate children presented to them. As was to be expected, all were well turned out for the service. Ten-year-old Jon, who had a cheekily round freckled face and a mop of light brown hair, was wearing smart shorts, shirt and tie. Lucy's shoulder length, honey blonde hair framed her pretty, fine featured face. She wore a blue dress boldly patterned with bright flowers. Her twelve-year-old sister, Marcia, was a tall, bespectacled girl, proud and prim, and looking every inch the minister's daughter. Her dark brown hair hung in two tidy plaits and even now she viewed the congregation with a snooty, supercilious stare. She was dressed in a trim white blouse with a bow, a burgundy skirt and white knee high socks. Lastly, the teenage Matthew, had his thick dark hair brushed neatly across his head and, as there was a girl named Rowena in the congregation he had particularly wanted to impress, he had dressed with care in a well ironed shirt, tie and sharply pressed long trousers.

The vicar's voice droned on and the children, like the rest of the congregation, largely ignored his words until he came to, "...and so you four children shall now strip to your underwear." Gasps, giggles and growls of approval greeted these words as the congregation suddenly woke up. The four children were horrified. Surely their father could not intend them to undress in front of all these people who they had to meet every day? He did.

With obvious reluctance the four began to take their clothes off. Both boys loosened their ties. Lucy started to take off her dress and Marcia unbuttoned her blouse. Among the congregation necks were craned and twisted. Many children stood to get a better view and some of the younger ones tried climbing on the pews, though most were crossly pulled down by their embarrassed parents. The boys took off their shirts and unzipped their flies. Lucy hauled her dress over her head and stood in pink panties and top. Marcia reluctantly removed her blouse and even more unwillingly unhooked her skirt. The boys had to take off their shoes to get their trousers over their feet. They both stood in their underpants, one patterned with sharks and the other with stripes. Red faced Marcia stepped out of her skirt. She was wearing pure white bra and panties.

The Vicar of Wormsford St Cuthbert was ranting on about the Ten Commandments and which of them his various children had broken. No one was listening, but presumably murder and adultery were not on his list. Everyone in the church was far more interested in the half clad kids and what ever was going to happen to them next.

The minister walked back and forth behind his four children who remained miserably facing the blatant stare of the congregation. He patrolled a few times as he continued to list their sins of commission and omission. He paused in his speech as he stopped behind little Jon. He stooped slightly, gripped his youngest child's underpants and briskly drew them down to the little boy's knees. More gasps, giggles and growls of approval. The lad turned bright red and clapped his hands his hands over his miniature willy and balls.

"Hands on your head," his dad commanded callously. His face burning, the boy obeyed, revealing his immature genitalia to the watching crowd. The father moved on to his younger daughter. He whisked the little top over the small girl's head. She had just the bumpy beginnings of breasts on her chest and her tummy retained its childish rotundity. Nonetheless, she was old enough not to want to show her upper body in public. Worse was to come, though, as her father quickly pulled her pink panties down her legs. There was not much to see between the little girl's thighs, but the congregation made sure they got a good look at what there was and Lucy's slightly bulging, bald vulva was examined keenly.

Marcia's heart was hammering with anxious anticipation as she sensed her father shift to her. She felt his fingers unhook her bra strap and with remarkable dexterity he slipped it from her shoulders. Marcia had cute little breasts, firm and pointed with prominent, dark pink nipples. They had only recently grown and she was understandably proud of their development, but not so full of pride that she wished to display them to the whole village as she was now doing. She was aware of her father's hands taking hold of the elasticised waistband of her panties. "Nooo!" she wailed as her knickers were lowered to her ankles. Around the vertical slit between her long thighs was a fine fringe of curly pubic hair. Marcia twisted and turned trying to hide herself with her own legs.

"Stand still with your hands on your head," ordered her stern father.

The vicar moved on to his oldest offspring. He grasped his son's underpants and hauled them down. The boy squirmed with embarrassment. He was at the beginning of puberty and his penis had lengthened considerably of late, but as yet he had no pubic hair as some of his friends did. He was not only ashamed to be exposed, but feared that he would be seen as immature for his age. In fact the audience admired his long, circumcised penis and did not give the matter a thought.

The Vicar of Wormsford St Cuthbert walked around to stand at the front of his congregation, but kept to the side of his children so as not to spoil the view of the parishioners. The two boys and two girls stood with their hands on their heads and their underwear at various heights around their legs. He seemed pleased enough with matters, but then said, "Now take off everything else you are wearing."

The children busied themselves removing shoes, socks and underpants. When this humiliating task was completed they stood as before. But their father was far from pleased.

"Matthew, you are wearing a watch. Marcia, you still have on your glasses and hair bands. Lucy, you have a bead bracelet on your wrist."

The three oldest children took off the offending articles and then their father turned again to his congregation:

"Now we can see these children as the Good Lord made them without worldly frills and fancies. They are naked in their sinfulness before Him and before us all, and in this state of nature they shall be properly chastised for their sins according to God's Holy Word!"

Many in the congregation murmured a pious "Amen", but Colonel Dashforth forgot himself enough to shout an enthusiastic "Hear! Hear!" and was shushed by his wife.

"But first they shall show every side of themselves, hiding nothing, just as we must show every side of ourselves to Almighty God, hiding nothing from Him," continued the vicar.

The embarrassed children were now obliged to turn slowly around so that the congregation could examine their young bodies. How those at the back wished they had sat at the front! Those who did have the best view saw a sturdy ten year old boy with a cheeky little bottom that just ached to be spanked. Next to him, his eleven-year-old sister's slender body had milk-white skin and a jutting little rear. Moving on, the twelve-year-old's hips had recently broadened and a fresh layer of fat beneath the pale skin had filled and rounded her bottom. And lastly, the athletic thirteen-year-old boy's well muscled cheeks stood out firmly. The Reverend Daniel Shore fetched a chair and placed it side on to the congregation next to where his four children stood. He selected ten-year-old Jon by gripping the little lad's ear and marching him the few steps to the seat. The minister sat and pulled his young son face down over his knees so that the boy's bottom was towards the congregation. The other three children, still facing the public, turned their heads to watch their sibling being spanked. And spanked he was! The minister raised his hand high and brought it down hard. How many times? Was anyone counting? The staccato smacks rang around the old stone church like gunfire. Jonathan yelled and kicked his legs almost from the first, entertaining the viewers in the pews no end. His three watching siblings were not so pleased. Whatever the littlest one of them got, the others were sure to get more. The little boy's bottom went, pink red crimson, but the spanking went on until at last the merciful father dropped his heated son onto the cold flagstones of the floor.

The sobbing child was led by the ear back to his place in the line and little Lucy was chosen to take his place across her father's knees. Lucy's small bottom was narrow, but surprisingly prominent. Her father's hand stretched right across both cheeks, but he slapped hard all over, sides as well as top. Lucy behaved much as her brother had, kicking her long, slender legs and yelling her pretty little head off. Like him her squirming bottom opened enough to reveal her puckered bum hole, but whereas he had shown his scrotum between his stretching thighs, Lucy showed a little slit like a miniature replica bottom. Once Lucy's buttocks were highly coloured, she too was dumped on the stone floor before being led back to join her brothers as her sister was taken by the ear to the seat of correction.

Marcia had watched her little brother and sister getting soundly spanked and the apprehension of her own punishment was making her sob already. Her previously neat hair now hung like a straggly shawl over her shoulders. She went over her father's knees with moan of misery and promises of repentance. Neither benefited her as the Reverend Daniel Shore raised his hand and began to spank his pubertal daughter's fat little bottom. How poor Marcia kicked and struggled! How she wept and wailed! What entertainment she gave the people in the pews. What fun it was to see the priggish twelve year old utterly naked and having her bottom soundly spanked while she wriggled wildly and threw her legs about without concern for the intimate views she gave her audience, until at last she was discarded onto the flagstones.

Finally, once Marcia was returned to the minister's flock, it was the turn of Matthew. The teenage lad tried to be brave as he was led towards the chair, but his long hairless cock swung as his knees wobbled. He went across his father's knees knowing that his tough exterior pose hid the true terror inside. He was not so much frightened of the pain bad though he knew that would be but the humiliating exhibition he was about to make of himself. Matthew was a sporty lad, and so well used to the bumps and bruises of the rugby and soccer fields, but the sustained spanking of his boyishly muscular cheeks by his father's heavy hand soon had him contorting his body in agony as the burning pain spread through his buttocks. His strong legs flailed the air and before long the congregation had the chance to compare his developing bag of balls with his young brother's immature sac. And, try as he might, the growing lad could not contain his yells still shamefully high pitched as the spanking went on and on. After a horribly long time, Matthew too was dumped on the cold floor.

Once again the Reverend Daniel Shore made his children show themselves from every side to the enthusiastic congregation. Most of the parents were now so fascinated by what was going on before their astonished eyes that they had ceased to notice their own kids were clambering on the pews to get a better view of their unfortunate schoolfellows. These four crying children rotated slowly showing off every side of their bare bodies while the public compared the redness of their bottoms and how the depth of colour related their ages and physical development. Meanwhile, their father returned to the pulpit where he continued to rant about sin and retribution to the deaf ears of his congregation. However, when the Reverend Daniel Shore produced a curly- handled length of whippy rattan from behind the panelling, the non-listeners sat up and took notice.

"The Bible speaks to us of a rod, and so this must be the major implement of correction for our recalcitrant children," he boomed wrathfully. "Thus, by way of further example, I shall now thrash my own unruly offspring with this cane."

With these words the minister descended the steps from his high and mighty pulpit to the level of a stern father confronting his own naughty kids. These watched his doom laden approach with wide and wet eyed misery as he cut the air with a swish and a whoosh. He placed the chair so that the seat was now towards the congregation and said to his youngest child:

"Jonathan, you shall approach this chair and rest your forearms on either side of the seat, gripping the backrest with your hands. You shall then put your head on the seat between your arms. Make sure you keep your legs straight."

The little boy took up this position, which he had on occasion assumed before, though then always in the privacy of the vicarage. His bottom was now bent, with the skin tightly stretched, towards the audience. His father announced. "I shall give this boy six strokes of the rod."

The vicar swung his arm and the cane whistled down to land with a sharp CRACK across the boy's tight bottom. Jonathan yelled loudly as the stick struck his already hot sore bottom. For an instant a white line appeared on the red skin but this was immediately replaced by a purple-red weal across the small cheeks. Five more times the cane sang down. Five more times came the sound of stick striking skin. Five more times the boy screamed in pain as five more red lines sprang upon his tender flesh.

Jonathan was replaced at the chair by his sister Lucy. She assumed the same position with which she too was all too familiar. "This girl," her father announced, as though she had nothing to do with him, "was to have received eight strokes of the rod. However, because she failed to remove all she was wearing when instructed to do so, but deliberately kept on a gaudy bracelet, I shall add one stroke more."

So for little Lucy the cane whistled down nine times, completely covering her tiny bottom with weals while she cried and stamped her feet, but it was remarkable that at no time did she leave go of the chair back or bend her knees to dodge the full force of a blow. Clearly these were well trained children.

Marcia was next to approach the chair. She seemed almost to have forgotten her humiliating state of public nudity in her fear of physical punishment. She bent and stretched her broad bottom for a beating. Her father pronounced sentence, "This girl was to have been given ten strokes of the rod for her sins, but as she did not take off her glasses or hair bands I shall increase this to twelve."

So a dozen times the cane cut across the priggish schoolgirl's already inflamed cheeks except this was a baker's dozen as her father was dissatisfied with one stroke, claiming his daughter had tried to pull her bottom forward at the crucial moment of impact, and so had another whack. By the time he had finished his bawling daughter's bottom was a mass of swelling ridges, some of which crossed.

When Marcia was allowed to join the other two caned children to cavort around clutching their well-wealed bottoms, it was the turn of Matthew. But now the Reverend Daniel Shore had new reason for outrage. Whether it was from the heat generated by his own spanking; or the sight of his siblings being caned; or the nervous tension created by the imminence of his own thrashing; but Matthew's circumcised cock slowly raised its bulbous head and stretched a few inches closer to the hammer-beamed roof of the medieval church

"What is this?" demanded his father, painfully tapping the offending erection with his cane. "How dare you be in such a state within the house of God!"

Half the congregation guiltily squirmed on their pews at this denunciation as nearly all the males in the church from eight to eighty-eight - and below and beyond - had a similar stiffness hidden in their trousers.

The poor boy marched towards the seat with his stiff cock wagging like a wand in front of him. He wished the flagstones would slide apart and the earth swallow him up. Whatever would pretty Rowena think of him now? He bent over like his brother and sisters and his father said, "This boy was to have had twelve strokes, plus three for not removing his watch, but to this I now add another five because of his disgraceful lack of control."

Twenty! Even Colonel Dashforth flinched at this, remembering his own beatings at Eton. But it was to be. The strokes were delivered by the resolute arm of the Reverend Daniel Shore in blocks of five strokes and long before the end Matthew was howling loudly, all thoughts of trying to impress the lovely Rowena by his courage at least banished from his mind by the severity of the pain. Curiously, when Matthew was allowed up at last and was able to hop, skip and jump around the church yelling loud enough to awaken the dead in the churchyard beyond, his erection had not diminished one little bit.

After the children's bawling had been reduced to mere sobs, the congregation sang a final hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful" and received the blessing from the vicar along with the injunction to follow his example. The people streamed outside to the watery spring sunshine. There a shock awaited some of the juvenile part of the churchgoers who had so enjoyed that day's service.

"Just wait till I get you home," announced a mother to her sons of ten and twelve.

"You are going to be feeling my hairbrush on your little bottom." another promised her eight-year old daughter.

"I wonder where we can get a cane like the vicar's?" mused a husband to his wife while their three children a thirteen-year-old girl and boys of eleven and nine looked at each other in shocked disbelief.

There were a few dissenting voices of course. "Shocking!" and "Disgraceful!" were heard here and there, but the majority seemed to support the vicar's stance on spanking. Some, indeed, took his example absolutely to heart.

One mother quickly stripped her children, snapped a switch from the hedge and whipped her eleven-year-old son while her naked nine-year-old daughter stood by shivering with cold and fear.

A burly father tucked his seven-year-old daughter under his left arm, pushed up her skirt and pulled down her knickers. Then he spanked her bare bottom as he walked home while she screamed and kicked and her mother looked on approvingly.

A struggling fourteen-year-old girl stood in the grip of her father while her mother calmly removed her skirt and then took off her tights and panties to leave her bare from the waist down with the promise of plenty of spanking to come.

And finally there was Rowena Dashforth, in the care of her grandparents while her own mother and father were abroad. What was to happen to her?
