To a pure heart there was an unclean cast and a withering effect
prevalent throughout all the departments of this hall, and my heart
burned as I continued observing how the agents of Satan plied their
subtle influences so as to popularize this cosmopolitan resort. So
effectually has Satan entrenched his views that some of the strong
defenders of this hall of literature are connected with the church,
and types of this same teaching have found their way into some of the
Christian schools of the world.
After this protracted visit Mr. World and Miss Church-Member left this
hall and continued their studies in hall after hall, until more than
one half of the twenty-eight halls were visited. Their next objective
point was the second grand division of this College devoted to "_The
Elements of Success in Authorship._"
My heart trembled at what my eyes saw. The great army of writers who
studied in this department came from all countries of the earth. "Can
it be true," thought I, "that so large a portion of our authors get
at least a part of their training in the schools of the Devil?"
"O Blackana!" I sighed, "how long have these things been?"
"Since the beginning of literature," was his cold and brief reply.
