"It seems to the present writer that Our Lord's references to events in the Old Testament record. for example, his references to the Flood and to Lot's wife, cannot be press ed as requiring of us a belief that these stories are historical descrip. tions of actual occurrences.

International Flyers' Union.

Lraso, Dec. 14th Mr. Clifford Harmon of Philadel phia, who represents the Inter- national Firers' Union, to-day 'sug- gested the inauguration of an International Aviation Office, like that of the Labour Office at Geneva,

The Aviation Office, says the out-

sity makes this expedient. To form the local units of the Aviation Office, the member countries are to select the ablest Army, Navy and civilian flyers of their own, and have them attached to the Aviation Office. The number of flyers to be commandeered from each country will be 30 per cent. of the whole aviators in that State.

Incidentally, Dr. Gore observes, there is grave reason to suppose that Matthew, chap. 12, verse 40, in which Christ is related to have said: For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth," is some- what misleading gloss, and not the word of Christ."

Only One Instance. There is only one instance," de- elares Dr. Gore, in which our Lord appears to insist on particular words as uttered by a particular person, and that is in His argument about Psalm 110.
