For a year the Christian Endeavor-
ers of the world have followed Bun
vans Christian in his "Pilgram's Pro-
Eress." Now they see him to his jour-
ney's end. He has come to the dark
river that flows before the Celestial
City-and crossed it. The passage
contains some of the finest thought
and language in Bunyan's immortal
work. 1t is good center for Thoughts
concerning the inevitable experience of
everybody. Death is one of the ines
capable things; to prepare for it is a
matter of common prudence.
