"An exceedingly pleasant valley," said Mr. World as they drew nearer
to the scenes of activity on each side of the way.
"Beyond my anticipation, indeed. Our journey is growing more and more
delightful," she joyously replied.
As they journeyed on Miss Church-Member came into agreeable fellowship
with some of her former Christian associates who, by looking over into
the territory of the World, coveted its ways and were snared by one
or another of Satan's devices to catch the unwary. The larger portion
of these new recruits were firmly convinced that they were still
traveling on the road to Heaven, even though they had fully left the
Narrow Way.
Miss Church-Member congratulated her comrades of earlier years on their
happy choice of a wider and more pleasant path, and they accepted her
invitation to spend a season together in the valley.
These new associates were welcomed most cordially by Mr. World who
left nothing undone that might add to their comfort or pleasure.
The merry company passed down the valley and paused at a magnificent
temperance saloon which occupied nearly the whole space between the
two Highways.
