WHAT SHALL Do TO BE e)AuID?

agone by Beelzebub. Apollyon and Legion to trap pilgrims.
 At the fair were exhibited for sale all such things as houses, lands, trades, places, honors, titles, kingdoms, wives, husbands, servants, lives, blood, bodies, souls, silver, gold and previous stones.
 Now everybody that would go to the Celestial City had to pass through this town. The Prince or Prince himself went through it, and Beelzebub, the chief lord of the fair, showed him his best; but he left the town without having laid out as much as one farthing.
 When Christian and Faithful entered, all the people were moved, and there arose hubbub about them because they were dressed in raiment different from that of those who traded at the fair, and because they would not look at the wares Therefore they were taken and besmeared with dirt and put into an iron cage, where they were made the objects of mems mal- ice and sport.
 The pilgrims bore it so patiently, blessing their tormentors and returning good words for bad, that some men in the fair began to check the rest. Thus
 
 of Vanity Fair fell to blows among them selves.
 The lord of the fair charged the pill grims with being guilty of instignating the quarrel, and hanged irons them and had them led up and down as warning. Again did they comport themselves so meekly that a few 0hough only a very few) of the people of Vanity took their parts once more. At this the lord of the fair was enraged and said that they should die for deluding the men of the fair.
 They were carried before Judge Hate Good, and three witnesses-Envy Super stition and Pick k-Thank-testifed against them, swearing that they had railed against the religion and the Prince and nobles of the town.

 First they scourged him. Then they buffeted him. Then they lanced his flesh with knives After that they stoned him. Then they prcked him with swords. Last of all they burned him to ashes at the stake.
 l Thus came Faithful to his end. But behind the multitude there stood all the 1 while chariot with horses; and as soon as Faithful was dispatched he was taken up in it and carried through the clouds with sound of trumpet to the Celestial Gate.
 l Christian was thrown into prison, but after a while escaped the foes and went on his way
 l He did not go alone, for one who had seen their sufferings and heard their words resolved to leave Vanity with him. His name was Hopeful, and he told Chris tian that there were many more of the men in Vanity Fair who would follow | them in time
 They met worshpful party made up of MT. By-Ends, MT Hold-the- World, MT. Money-Love and MT. Save-All, all of the | town of Love-Gain, in the county of Gov eting These shrewd men had come by an easy way; and though they had no |. sacred roll of armor, they tried to per ! suade Christian that the Celestial City could be reached as well by waiting for I good weather and picking pleasant roads I as by the straight and narrow patlg | Christian returned them reply that l displeased them sadly, so that they fell ! behind muttering, and the two pilgrims were soon rid of them entirely, and in d \ most woeful manner The four went aside from the path to look at silver mine in a hill called Lucre, owned by courtly gentleman named Demas, who | coaxed them to get some treasure.
