That this way-finding will some day be understood, 

 and, therefore, possible of execution for us all, is probable. 



That our Great Master, as an example, had this under- 

 standing, we gather from His walking over the sea in the 

 dark, to the ship in which were His disciples. In St. John 

 the incident is described as follows : 



" And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to 

 them. 



And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew, 



So when they had rowed about five and twenty or 

 thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and 

 drawing nigh unto the ship : and they were afraid. 



But he saith unto them, It is I ; be not afraid. 



Then they willingly received him into the ship : and 

 immediately the ship was at the land whither they 

 went." 



The Master's absolute dependence on the All-pervading 

 Guiding Principle, caused Him not only to find His way to 

 the ship in the dark, storm-tossed lake, but also enabled 

 Him to embrace in his care, His beloved disciples, and their 

 ship as well, so that " immediately the ship was at the land 

 whither they went." He desired to be there, and behold ! 

 He was there.
