CHAPTER XIX.
THE MISSIONARY COLLEGE.
1. Mr. World and Miss Church-Member visit the great college and are
strongly influenced in favor of Satan's teachings concerning missionary
work.

The fellowship of Mr. World and Miss Church-Member grew increasingly
delightful as they journeyed forth from the Festival. In their company
were a few church-members who had also enjoyed the physical pleasures
of the Festival and who preferred to reach Heaven by the most convenient
path.
The merry band of companions soon reached a certain Missionary Station
which was controlled by pilgrims from the King's Highway. The travelers
were all very much amused at seeing tracts and other pieces of
literature scattered over the Highway in front of the station.
"How much one can get for nothing!" sneeringly remarked Mr. Bigot, as
he pointed to the literature strewn across the way.
"Surely there can be no harm in looking at such pieces of paper," said
Mrs. Lucre-Love as she lifted a booklet from the path and commenced
a quiet perusal of it. "And what is it all about?" queried another who
saw the eyes of Mrs. Lucre-Love fixed intently on the pamphlet.
