to learn, in connection with the recent trial trip to India, that al- | though the military aeroplane from Egypt did not arrive at Delhi until 13 days after its start from Cairo, the time occupied in actual flight was 17 hours and 20 odd minutes, As the distance covered was 5,233 miles the average speed was thus over 68 miles an hour. General Salmond spent several days in Mesopotamia in- apecting the flying units in that country, and there was some de-l! lay at Bander Abbas owing to it being necessary to repair slight| damage to the aeroplane caused by landing on rough ground.

And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on the pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, carest Thou not that we perish?"-MarkTM 4/37-38.
Twice over He who came into this world for nothing alse but to care for others was chided for indifference, once by a bustling woman under a mistaken sense of petty wrong, once by a band of distracted men in peril, as they thought, of their lives. The step may seem almost from the sub- lime to the trivial, to pass from that black night of terror when strong men quaked and quailed, to the sunlit peace of

Yet there is a greater and a lesser in the scale of life's trying: experiences, and in all alike the tendency besets our faithless hearts to imagine we are left to ourselves. The "little worries" of every day, the petty vexations, which arise hourly from human fallibility and forgetfulness, the many additions to our work and our perplexities which are due to other people's neglect and petty selfishness, are they so little after all? Or are they rather like the constant drip which can wear away the stone, capable of wear- ing out the heart and strength and patience of the best of us if we
