second volume of his work on the pyramid. We were very glad indeed to have him there, for weknew that he could tell us more about that Witness than any one living. The Arab guides knowabsolutely nothing of the teachings of the pyramid, and as Brother Edgar knows every foot of theinside and also had with him his chief helper, Judah, w e did not require the services of any of theguides. This was quite a surprise to these Arabs, however, and they thought it very strange that wewould go inside without them.At a distance the greatpyramid does not showoff what a mightystructure it is, but as onegets alongside, he issoon convinced that it isthe greatest building inthe world.The entrance is on thenorth side and about fiftyfeet up the sloping side.To reach this we found itnecessary to climb overabout fifty feet ofrubbish. With no railing,fire escapes, or anythingelse to support one, eventhis height made some feel a little queer, and Brother Pyles remarked, "I would give a dollar if Ihad not started." However, helping hands were extended to him, and soon we were in front of theentrance. We stood around this for some time, Bro. Edgar in the meantime pointing out andexplaining various things of interest. In his first volume on the Great Pyramid Passages he shows anumber of excellent illustrations of just how this entrance looked.We then went into theDescending Passage, passedunder the Granite Plug,which stops up the lower endof the First AscendingPassage. We kept on downuntil we came to theSubterranean Chamber orPit. On the way, however,we, of course, passed thelower end of the Well. ThisSubterranean Chamber isabout 250 feet from theentrance, and the wholepassage to it is very slippery,
