Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'I was struck today by the "minding himself to go afoot" in Acts xx. 13. It is interesting to see the Apostle, after labouring and preaching all night, seek this retirement in the day, and walk alone across the country at least 25 miles to Assos. Query: what kind of scenery on this journey?'
