Sermons by the Monday Club John 4:46-54 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman… It is an incident of the life of Napoleon that one day, while reviewing his troops in Paris, he let fall the bridle reins upon his horse's neck, when the spirited animal at once dashed down the line. Before Napoleon could recover his seat and check the horse, a common soldier sprang from the ranks, caught the reins, stopped the excited horse, and placed the bridle in the hands of the emperor, who took it and said, "Much obliged to you, captain." The soldier immediately answered, "Of what regiment, sire?" Napoleon, delighted with his quick perception and ready faith, replied, "Of my guards," and rode away. The soldier laid down his musket, saying, "He may take it who will," and started at once for the officers' tent, where he was duly installed as captain of the guard. With an obedience and a faith equally prompt the Jewish nobleman went his way. (Sermons by the Monday Club.)
