Acts 1:23-26 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.… I was in America a few months ago, and went down the Alleghany Mountain on a railway train. It was a thing to remember to see the speed at which we went down the incline. A nervous passenger asked the conductor: "What would happen to us if the brake gave way?" "We have a spare one which we would apply at once," he answered. "If it also gave way, what then?" again queried the passenger. "We have one on the last van, which we can put on." "If it gave way, where would we he?" The conductor looked him in the face, and said gravely: "Friend, that depends upon the way you have lived."
