     our Lord's sending forth his disciples without money in their
     purses, the remark has been made that in this "there was no
     departure from the simple manners of the country. At this day
     the farmer sets out on excursions quite as extensive without a
     para in his purse; and a modern Moslem prophet of Tarshisha thus
     sends forth his apostles over this identical region. No
