From the best-selling author of My Utmost for His Highest, Studies in the Sermon on the Mount is a grace-filled exposition of Matthew 5-7. Much has been written about these 3 chapters of the New Testament, but Chambers' insightful and theologically rich treatment of the text is both challenging and refreshing. “If Jesus is only a Teacher, then all He can do is to tantalize us by erecting a standard we cannot come anywhere near. But if we know Him first as Savior, by being born again from above, we know that He did not come to teach us only: He came to make us what He teaches we should be. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is having His way with us. The Sermon on the Mount must produce despair in the natural man; and that is the very thing Jesus means it to do, because immediately we get to despair we are willing to come to Jesus as paupers and to receive from Him. “Blessed are the poor in spirit”—that is the first principle of the Kingdom. So long as we have a conceited, self-righteous notion that we can do the thing if God will help us, God has to allow us to go on until we break the neck of our ignorance over some obstacle, then we are willing to come and receive from Him. The bedrock in Jesus Christ’s Kingdom is poverty, not possession; not decisions for Jesus Christ, but a sense of absolute futility—“I cannot begin to do it.” Then, says Jesus, “Blessed are you.” That is the entrance, and it does take us a long while to believe we are poor. The knowledge of our own poverty brings us to the moral frontier where Jesus Christ works.”

The Beginning Of The AdventuresOne bright sunny morning, very early, four children stood on the rough grassof a big airfield, watching two men busily checking the engines of a gleamingwhite aeroplane.The children looked rather forlorn, for they had come to say good-bye to theirfather and mother, who were to fly themselves to Africa.“It’s fun having a famous father and mother who do all kinds of marvelousflying feats,” said Mike. “But it’s not such fun when they go away to far-offcountries!”“Well, they’ll soon be back,” said Nora, Mike’s twin sister. “It will only bea week till we see them again.”“I somehow feel it will be longer than that,” said Mike gloomily.“Oh, don’t say things like that!” said Peggy. “Make him stop, Jack!”Jack laughed and slapped Mike on the shoulder. “Cheer up!” he said. “A weekfrom today you’ll be here again to welcome them back, and there will becameramen and newspaper men crowding round to take your picture - son of themost famous air-pilots in the world!”The children’s father and mother came up, dressed in flying suits. They kissedand hugged the children.“Now, don’t worry about us,” said their mother. “We shall soon be back. Youwill be able to follow our flight by reading what the newspapers say everyday. We will have a fine party when we come home, and you shall all stay uptill eleven o’clock!”“Gracious!” said Jack. “We shall have to start going to bed early every nightto get ready for such a late party!”It was rather a feeble joke, but everyone was glad to laugh at it. One morehug all round and the two flyers climbed into the cockpit of their tinyaeroplane, whose engines were now roaring in a most business-like way.Captain Arnold was to pilot the aeroplane for the first part of the flight. He....

The third story commences with Captain and Mrs Arnold setting off on another long haul flight, this time to Africa. The four children are allowed leave of absence from their schools to see them off, though Prince Paul, who since meeting the children has been sent to the same school as Mike and Jack is not allowed to accompany them. It's predicted that The White Swallow (the Arnold's plane) will break new records and there is much press coverage of the flight. Predictably and in an echo of what happened in the story of The Secret Island, on the third day the Arnold's plane disappears.The Arnolds, we learn, do live in London and unusually for Blyton characters, in a flat. Also unusual for Blyton, despite the fame of the Arnolds as pioneering aviators, they do not have the usual retinue of servants. When around six weeks after the Arnolds are lost and the children return home for half-term, Dimmy is there to look after them.
