Excerpt from A Heartening Word for Mr. Fearing: Or Cheer for Doubting Pilgrims Those who are familiar with Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress will readily recall the Mr. Fearing whose character is so minutely described therein. He is represented as a man "of choice spirit, " who "had the root of the matter" in him, and who was always "very tender of sin." He felt that he must needs reach the Celestial Country, that he should die if he came not to it, and yet he also felt that if ever he did get there, it would be almost too good to be true. He never could be quite sure that he was actually in the way thereto. He was always afraid that he should come short of whither he had a desire to go. Difficulties, lions, or Vanity Fair, he feared not at all, it was only sin, death, and hell that were to him a terror, and for the reason that he had some doubts as to his personal interest in the Celestial Country, - his fear was that he might not be accepted at last.
