"There are millions who belong to my church
in spirit, but who hold visible connection with some radical church
of the King's Highway. They are doing great service in eradicating
old-time methods and planting the banners of a new liberty such as we
three enjoy."
CHAPTER XXI.
FROM THE VALLEY OF CONVICTION TO THE DEVIL'S AUCTION.
1. Depression of Miss Church-Member
2. The Merry Village.
3. The Famous Cross Roads.
4. The Devil's Auction.
As Mr. World and Miss Church-Member proceeded on their journey they
were frightened by a man who, with his hands uplifted and agony pictured
on his face, came running toward them, shouting: "Let good sense control
you and go no farther! Enchantment, spirits, witches, and unnamed
hobgoblins dwell in every part of this hideous valley!"
"Oh, terror! What can this mean?" nervously asked Mr. World, as the
stranger stood panting for breath.
"All a mystery! Even the air is filled with poison and weird music.
I am thankful that I have escaped with my life."
"Come, come, Mr. Sin-Sick, tell us more about it. We may thereby profit
greatly," said Mr. World with more composure.
