The Hill of Difficulty

The zealous new Christian has had some of the wind taken out of his sails by his encounter with Simple, Sloth and Presumption. Now, he meets Formalist and Hypocrisy who come 'tumbling over the wall'.

After a sobering dialogue with them, they part ways, until they come to 'The Hill of Difficulty'. Formalist and Hypocrisy refuse to go the proper way -- just as they refused to enter the proper way.

The rest of the message deals with Christian's struggles -- and the loss and recovery of 'his roll' and what that symbolizes.
