John Bunyan in his immortal allegory gave us the story of the pilgrim who set out from the City of Destruction for the City of Life. Now people have suddenly discovered that the famous pilgrim was a selfish and unworthy man, because he made the salvation of his own sole his chief end in life and set out all by himself, leaving his own family in the City of Destruction. Yet John Bunyan remains eternally right. One who has not himself started for the City of Life will never start others in that direction.
