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

"A twentieth century allegory"


"Oh, it is nothing new! Only the old monotonous story of the heathen,
followed by the usual appeal for funds. Evidently it is some sharper's
scheme to rob the people of their money."
Mr. World was near enough to hear her answer and with evident disgust
he asked: "Where can one get reliable information on this subject,
anyhow?"
"At one of the Missionary Colleges, of course," answered two or three
in unison. "Yes, and I know from past experience that you will soon
be at one. This station and this literature is all the evidence we
need," added Mrs. Lucre-Love.
Mr. World and Miss Church-Member thence walked alone and soon beheld
the great Missionary College whose higher domes kissed the lower clouds
of heaven.
"Surely some great missionary enthusiast must have erected these
edifices," said Miss Church-Member as they were turning to enter the
section devoted to Home Missionary Work.
The entrance ways were so crowded with students and visitors that Mr.
World escorted his companion with difficulty to the plaza toward which
the twenty-one halls of this section converged.
The view of this part of the College from the plaza was at once
beautiful and inspiring.
