Bunyan was, said the home sec- retary, pre-eminently the product of his time, His age demanded some such man or some such mess- age as he had to give the world Bunyan lived just after the Re- formation, and men had not then got to realize what the Reforma- tion meant in the positive sense, They needed some man to go for- ward to live the life which Bunyan lived and to show the world, sub- sequently, the plain, simple way to salvation, He had been accused by his de- tractors--and Bunyan had them, as all men had--of egotism, both In his writings and in his life, But surely salvation wag, and must he, personal, and in anything that was personal there must he something of egotism. Bunyan, when he was east into prison, at the age of 32, for refusing to compromise on the question of religion, knew that his sacrifice was the basis of Christian life. When that marvelous book (the 'Pllgrim's Progress') was written little did he know that 250 years ahead it would rank almost next to:the Bible and would be translated' into 120 languages, Milton had been called "the culs tured Puritan." Bunyan was the common, ordinary Puritan of his day, The "Pilgrim's Progress" was a wonderful story, superbly told, We could meet today all the characters to be found in that book --Mpr, Talkative, Mr, Ignorance, Mr, Timorous, and Mr, Warldly- Wise--in any stata of society and in any gongregation of men, and even---dare he say?--in the House of Commons itself, But more than that, one met there most great difficulties that Christian men met and we met them here in our own life, The pilgrimage which Christians took was hepe for us today and the ""Slough®of Despond'" was here in our life, The Valley of Humilia- tion was with us, too, and not all had triumphed as had Christian, Sir William Joynson-Hicks at the conclusion of his remarks introdue- ed Dr, Lang to the audience as the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr, Lang professed himself a life-long lover of the 'Pilgrim's Progress," and it carried him back to the days of his childhood, that era of unhroken pursuit of the im- agination which, alas! could never return, when his infant mind was filled with the pictures of the journey of Christian, He could see now what. used to haut him, the figure of Appollyon struggling along the whole length of the wall of his night nursery, In later days his love for the book had naturally deepened. For the last-20 years, ever since he was Archbishop of York, he had always read the "Pilgrim's Progress" to the canglidates for ordination in the ministry of the Church who had as- 1 alee A.

Could the same he said of almost any other book except the. Bible itself?
