CHAPTER XIV.
THE DEVIL'S TEMPERANCE COLLEGE.
1. Mr. World and his companion visit this immense college, with many
wings, all devoted to teaching every phase of the temperance question
in accordance with Satan's views.
2. A view of the millions who attend this college.

Automobiles are used by the agents of Satan to convey students and
visitors from one college to another of the great University of the
World.
I saw Miss Church-Member and her cherished escort leave the College of
Literature in one of these up-to-date carriages.
"Shall we tarry at the athletic field?" asked Mr. World as they came
to a famous sporting ground.
"Let us rather hasten to the Temperance College," she suggested. But
her manner indicated that she did not wish to urge him away from the
place of his heart's desire.
"Altogether at your pleasure," he smiled, as he sank back into the
comfortable cushions of the conveyance.
They soon reached the desired locality, saw the moving millions from
all portions of the earth, and heard the ceaseless babble of their
voices harmonizing with the work of this college which was known among
the pilgrims of the King's Highway as _The Devil's Temperance College.
