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

"A twentieth century allegory"


Mr. World plainly saw the connection between this College of Fashions
and the Devil's Pawn Shop. The next item in the weird program was the
Devil's Optical College which Mr. World and Miss Church-Member had
visited in the earlier days of their companionship. Satan's Medical
Schools also lay in the same line of vision, and were intimately
connected with the Devil's Hospital which had numberless branches in
all parts of the world.
And next the vast College of Literature flashed before the admiring
eyes of Mr. World. As seen through the telescope this section presented
a most beautiful picture.
The surface Schools of Law next attracted the attention of the spectator
who was surprised to get so large a view of these operations.
Mr. World still moved in the magic circle, and saw the whole program
as revealed at the angle at which the telescope was inclined. When the
first circle was completed, the telescope dropped to a new angle and
started on its second revolution, disclosing to the observer a new
world of schools, all of which were also comprehended in the University
of the World.
The Missionary College proved to be an interesting sight, as did also
the Devil's Temperance College.
