A gentleman took an acquaintance to the top of his house to show him the extent of his possessions.
Waving his hand about, he said, "There, that is my estate." Then pointing to a great distance on one side, he continued, "Do you see that house?
That also belongs to me." Then said his friend, "Do you see that little village out yonder?" "Yes."
"Well, there lives a poor woman in that village who can say more than all this." "Ay! what can she say?" "Why, she can say, `Christ is mine.' "
The gentleman looked confounded, and said no more!
