LECTURE TO WORKERS' ASSOCIATION.
A lecture on " Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress" wan delivered before a fairly large audience at the Lyric Theatre yesterday afternoon by the Rev. Isaac Jolly, under the auspices of the Workers' Education Association. The lecturer first gave a literary criticism of the hook, pointing out. | its great imaginative power, its clear and limpid English, and its quality of suggestiveness. Moreover, the book was a portrait gallery of men and women, and its pages throbbed with life. The second part of the lecture was an exposition of Bunyan's messago, the lecturer stating that tho book was Bunyan's description of a Christian lifo. //though it was too much taken up with individuality in religion, and did not deal sufficiently with the great social and other problems of life, Bunyan had emphasised the supremacy of the spiritual, and that it must be felt in every true life.
