A great traveler once found himself on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. He
was at once beset by boatmen, who wanted to take him out to sail on the
waters where Christ had walked. He yielded to their importunities, and
returned to the shore in about an hour. But his devout meditations were
greatly disturbed when he was told that the charge was $10. With energy
he declared that it was robbery, that it was not worth so much to sail
all over their little lake, and demanded, "What makes you charge so
dreadfully?" "Why," said the innocent boatman, "because dese ese de lake
were de Saviour walked on de water." "Walked! walked! did He? Well, if
the boatmen of that day charged as you fellows do, I should think He
_would_ walk."
