“I am occupied, in my small way, as Mr. Great-heart was employed in Bunyan’s day.

I do not compare myself with that champion, but I am in the same line of business.

I am engaged in personally-conducted tours to Heaven; and I have with me, at the
present time, dear Old Father Honest: I am glad he is still alive and active.

And there is Christiana, and there are her children.

It is my business, as best I can, to kill dragons, and cut off giants’ heads, and
lead on the timid and trembling.

I am often afraid of losing some of the weaklings.

I have the heart-ache for them; but, by God’s grace, and your kind and generous 
help in looking after one another, I hope we shall all travel safely to the river’s
edge.

Oh, how many have I had to part with there!

I have stood on the brink, and I have heard them singing in the midst of the stream,
and I have almost seen the shining ones lead them up the hill, and through the gates,
into the Celestial City.”
