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

"A twentieth century allegory"

"'Judge not, that ye be not judged,'
and go speak to the lost, not to me so well equipped to meet the direst
foe. Turn your words to those on the other path, who go hobbling along
in misery, not fit to live or die."
"Come, come!" put in Mr. World, "your pearls before swine are only
trampled under foot. Forget not so quickly the teachings of our Lord."
As they passed on, in a self-righteous manner, she cheerily looked
into his face and said: "It was kind in you to come so promptly to my
rescue. I might have prattled there a whole day and yet not have shown
them half their folly."


CHAPTER XXV.
THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH.
1. Mr. World and Miss Church-Member getting farther from the light.
2. They drift into the deepening shadows where the path could be
traveled only one way.
3. The terrible experience of the two companions contending with the
imps of the dark valley.
4. Their sad and tragic end as they catch a glimpse of what they might
have been.

After leaving the place of the Last Warning, the Broad Highway grew
darker and darker as it steadily diverged from the King's Highway.
The little light that Satan's pilgrims do enjoy is borrowed from "the
path of the just that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
