What the allegory of the Palace
Beautiful is meant by Bunyan to rep
resent we can only surmise 1t may
stand for the rewards and refresh
nents in general which come to the
Christian on his pilgrimage. or il may
represent the rest and fellowship of
the church, wherein the disciple holds
fellowship with kindred spirits is re-
cuperated for a continuance of his
journey, and is equipped to combat the
foes that await him. Ali that the Pal
ace Beautiful was to Christian the
Church may be to the servant of the
Lord.
Not in some celestial realm, but
along the great highway stood the Pal
Sam Walter Foss' familiar lines:
Let me live in house by the side of
the road,
Where the race of men go by
The men that are good and the men
that are bad,
As good and as bad as I.
I would not sit in the scorners seat,
Nor hurl the cynic's ban.
Let me live in a house by the side Of
the road,
And be friend to man."
Although he arrived late al the
gate, Pilgrim was admitted to the PAL
ace Beautiful. There is no hour Of day
or night when a weary, distraught
traveller may not find entrance to the
sheltering, refreshing grace of God.
The past is teacher for the future.
1t is good to recall days that are gone
as Pilgrim did in the Palace, for they
inrite to gratitude and to fresh en-
deavor.
