The most widely read hook in the English language, excepting the Bible, and possibly Shakespear's plays is 'The Pilgrim's Progress from this world to that which is to come." Al most from the moment of its first pub lication in DJ76, it has enjoyed a pop ularity equalled by no other English work. John Bunyan, the plain tin ker, had a knowledge of the heart of the common people; their speech, their feelings and their inward relig ious experiences, such as few others have ever possessed. This book, written from the suffering of his own hard experience in the Bedford Bridge prison, where he was kept in bondage for his religious principles, is probably the best commentary and the most vital protrayal of the New Testament in all literature. Lord Macaulay said of it: "It i's the only book of its kind (allegory*) which as sesses a strong human interest. While other allegories only amuse the fancy this has been read by thousands with tears." It grips the heart. In this story Bunyan describes the Christian life as a journey and with wonderful skill pictures the varying tips and downs, temptations, defeats and victories of the disciples of Christ. The Pilgrim's Progress had scarce ly been published when it was trans lated into French, Dutch and German and at present it may be read in over 75 different languages or dialects, no other book except the Bible beir.g open to so many peoples in their na tive tongue. The story has also been illustrated by the pencil and brush with varying degrets of skill .: )m the first rude wood cuts made by Dutch artists in 1695, to the splendid works of genius :f Gordon Browne. J. I). Watson ana C. H. Bennett. A few years ago an lowa artist, be coming interested in the book made some thirty-six oil paintings repre senting the varying scenes of Christ ian's pilgrimage. These paintings are nearly life size and show with much -kill the adventures of the Pilgrim and the persons he encountered on the way. Through the kindness of Rev. C. R. Gale of Spokane these paint ings have been lent to the Congrega tional church and will be used to il lustrate a series of sermons on Pil grim's Progress: or "The Christian Life in Picture." Three paintings wil] ba shown each evening. This is the only time that these pictures have been exhibited in the west outside of Spokane and it is hoped tha; they may form a help ful and interesting portrayal of the Christian life of especial interest to young people. All persons will be welcome. The first sermon begins to tnorrow evening at 7:30. Subject: -Christian Setting Out." EQUALIZERS END THEIR WORK.
