“ Mr. Smith has rewritten ‘Pilgrim’s Prog­ ress’ for young people, and a careful com­ parison of his work with an unabridged edi­ tion of Bunyan’s classic shows that he has not weakened the older work by his para­ phrase,” says the Sunday School Times. “ Many phrases and expressions used in Bunyan’s time are not used today, and there­ fore young readers will welcome this more modern version and will be able to grasp its truths more readily.” • “ Christian in rags with his burden on his back, Christian struggling through the Slough of Despond, Christian approaching the Wicket Gate, Christian in his armor put­ ting Apollyon to flight— these incidents and many others familiar to all of us are made more vivid by Mr. Smith’s clever little pen and ink sketches in this edition of Bunyan’s famous work.”

PILGRIM'S PROGRESS John Bunyan’s Story Rewritten for Young People R E L IE V IN G that a more modern version of Pilgrim’s Progress, illustrated by Lit­ tle Jetts, would awaken further interest in this renowned allegory, Mr. Smith has re­ written it in a style appealing, vivid and true to the original. In retelling the story he has been careful to eliminate repetitions and abridge doctrinal arguments. A t the same time the real value of the story.and all ; incidents of interest have been main­ tained. The action of the story, its dramatic fighting, its keen satire and remarkable adap­ tation of scripture— all have been scrupu­ lously retained. W ith 67 “ Little Jetts” silhouettes. P rice $1.50
