                                                                            THE FOLLOWER-A TRUE TALE

Many, many years ago a young Anglican minister was sent from the United Kingdom to Australia to take over a parish in Western Australia.  The size of the parish was vast and the only transport available to him was an elderly, somewhat broken down looking mare.  After settling in to his new accommodation the young man decided he had better set out to see what his parish looked like, so he saddled up the mare and set off into the countryside.  Being unused to the Australian bush he soon became disoriented and thoroughly lost.  After wandering around for some time he came to a fence and decided to follow it, reasoning that it had to lead him somewhere.  An hour or two's riding later he came upon a young man  repairing the fence, who hailed him with a laconic "G'day mate".  Greetings were exchanged & the minister asked for some directions.  "What are you doing out here anyway?" asked the youth.  The minister replied "Why, I'm following the Lord Jesus", to which came the rejoinder "Jeez mate, you'll never catch up with him riding a nag like that!".

This story was told by the Revd Howell Witt, onetime Bishop of Bathurst, when reminiscing about his life as an Anglican minister in Australia.
