"One dear old lady," he said, "wanted Colonel L. V. Stewart Blackar to bring her back, a piece of the Ark which, she said, would be found on the top of the monn- tain. He promised to keep a look- out, but said he was afraid that he would not see it for snow, or that it had slipped off. A Tibetan lama got warried when he heard of the expedition. The gods lived on Everest, so he said, and they would resent being overlooked. We told him that the aeroplanes would be inaudible and invisible, and that the gods might rest happy which they did!

Colonel Blacker stated that the actual passage over the summit was an amazing experience. The aero plane yent a great deal closer to the crest than had been intended. It

was caught in a tremendous down draught of air and the plane had less than a hundred yards to spare. He had his head through the bottom of the machine and he saw the mountain coming up and up towards him until he was sure it would hit him.

The Lesson-Bermon also included the following passages from the Science textbook, Christian "Science and Health with Key to
