Dear Friend: I am having such a wonderful trip enroute to the World's Sunday School Convention at Glasgow, Scotland, that I wish 1 could hare it with all my friends; for, really, I am getting more mental food than I can digest. The trip across the Atlantic was on the Gunard Liner "Berengaria," which is one of the largest and fastest ships afloat. This ship is 919 feet long, and has every modern equipment, such as elevators, swimming pool, etc. It has a crew of 1,000. There are four wireless operators. A twenty-eight page paper, containing the world's news, is printed on the ship. The Berengaria maintains a speed of about twenty-six miles per hour, with out a stop from New York to France. At Paris I joined the other mem bers of the tour party, and spent five days in and around that city visiting places of interest such as the Palace of Napoleon I; museums and art gal leries; went on top of Eiffel Tower. Eiffel Tower is the highest structure ever built by man. The observation platform is 910 feet from the ground a wonderful panoramic view, for the Paul waited veer some of the tame ! la as attempt to deoerih the teene, years ha bees connected It is almost eertabi 'volcanoes in the wrtd.
