Harris, W. S. (William Shuler), 1865-

"A twentieth century allegory"

Through his agents Satan selects the lens
for the patient's eye, and if it is worn as selected and directed, he
has won a decisive victory."
"Foul and fiendish plots of Hell," I involuntarily muttered; but
Blackana listened in silence.


CHAPTER IV.
SATAN INTERPRETING SCRIPTURE.
1. Mr. World and Miss Church-Member now take an easier method of
traveling, for they ride on a strange vehicle down the gravity road.
2. Miss Church-Member reads her Bible by the aid of her new glasses.
3. She is assisted in understanding it by a minion of Satan who comes
robed as an angel of light.
4. Her glasses enable her to distinguish between the inspired and the
uninspired parts of the Bible; for this ability she is highly
complimented.

The Broad Highway, after leaving the Optical College, was especially
hard to travel. Here Mr. World secured a fashionable vehicle propelled
by some secret force. Into this carriage he assisted Miss Church-Member,
and each was delighted with the smooth descent down the gravity road.
"This is delightful traveling," she said, as she reclined upon the
luxurious cushions of the conveyance.
