Charles Blondin stretched a 330 - metre  tightrope across Niagara Falls on 30 June 1859.

About 25, 000 spectators gathered to watch the incredible stunt. Charles stood infront of the crowd and asked,

"How many believe I can walk across Niagara Falls?"

"We believe," the crowd roared.

And Charles walked safely across Niagara Falls, 50 metres up.

Five days later, he asked,

"How many believe I can walk across Niagara Falls blindfolded and pushing a wheelbarrow?"

The crowd cheered. And Charles did it again.

Two weeks later, the crowd gathered.

"How many believe I can walk across with a person on my back?" He asked.

The crowd screamed: "Of course! We believe!"

Charles looked straight at the person in the front.

"You, sir. Climb on!"

The man refused.

There is a big difference between talking about faith and acting on that faith.
