Retirement for Observation
Mark 6:30-31
And the apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.…


Then we need these periods of rest for taking new observations. Every ship that makes a voyage, after fogs or storms obscured the sky, seizes the first moment of starlight or sunlight to take observations. The seamen have been going by dead reckoning or by no reckoning, but when they get an opportunity to make an observation, they can very soon tell by computation where they are.

(H. W. Beecher.)
