in which a practical course of training was given to the
students by experts employed for the purpose. The experts

entered a class room where a batch of students was refceiv-
ing theoretical instructions, the teacher resigned his seat to
him, who converted the class for a short half-hour into one
of religious instruction. lie delivered a discourse on God,
devotion and His Name. Both the teacher and the boys
were highly elated by his presence and the talk.
Leaving this room the party finished the inspection on
the ground floor and ascended upstairs. Hero they entered

engaged in some experiments. One of them led the party to
the office room of the professor in charge, an Indian, seated
at his table. Seeing him the professor welcomed him and
offered a chair. He sat down. In. the course of his talk
Ramdas told him how he was refused audience by Durgadas.
The professor had taken a sudden liking for him.
"There must be some mistake. Durgadas does not know
yon, but would certainly be happy to see you,77 eagerly said

know about you and see that you get an interview with
him. Meanwhile, please wait here."

pieces of intricate apparatus intended for various works of

speck of wheat flour as big as a pea. These scientific instru-
ments can reveal only things perceptible to the senses but
in the field of spirit they are utterly useless, because the
vision of the spirit can be had by the solo aid of a super-
conscipuflness which is beyond the sphere of the senses.
Soon after this, a young man came from Dnrgadas1
household to fetch him. Ramdasmet Durgadas in his office.
