Place.--On the shore of the Sea of Galilee, not far from the city, of Capernaum, . fo Miniitry of Teaching ! 1, "Now it"came to pass, while the multiutde pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret; 2. and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fisherinen had gone out of them, and' were washing -their nets, 8. And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat." Here it vividly pic- tures the eager crowds around Jesus, Three simple and yet mean. ingful lessons are to be drawn from these sgntences: in the first place, the common people longed to hear what Jesus had to say, and this, in itself, indicates that Christ had a message which was recognized by the hearts of or- dinary men as bfing something of extreme value, something they must hear, In the second place, Jesus has a great compassion for those hungering to hear the truth, There are many gifted men today, "who must have a church and a regular order of service, before they are able to open their mouths, Some would never think. | of preaching on street corners, or in a shop, or in a hogpital, or to soldiers in a camp. JeSus was glad _ always for the opportunity of talking about the great truths He came down, from heaven to reveal. In the third place, we know that Christ had a way of commanding. Wherever He is, He is the Master. In whatever company, He is found as the Host, Whenever a problem arises, He is the One to whom everyone looks for solution, Jesus" Command - 4. "And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for draught. 5. And Simon answered and said, "Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at thy word I will let down the nets' The order to go out into deeper water, and let down the nets there, was contrary to all rules of the craft. Night was the time and near the °, shore the spot, for catching fish. Peter might well have said that "| he knew more about fishing than that. But he who truly calls Jesus Master will not stop to argue or to remonstrate but will obey swiftly. Work: done in simple obedience to Christ needs no external success in order to be blessed and whatever ~omes of- it we shall 'self-enfold its larger re- -sults.? peat add x . 6. "And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multi- tude of fishes; and their nets were breaking; 7. and they beckoned unto their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them... .And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink." Christ's, com- mand, if- truly carried out, will result in success. It will résult in thé success that Christ in- tends. Farthermore, in the very place where we have failed is the place. where Christ can make us- succeed, Note cgrefully that Christ is interested in our physi- cal welfare, in the success of our business enterprises, Christ did not tell the disciples to forget the fish and pay nd attention to ma- terial things. He gave "them - probably, that day, after. a-night of complete failure, the greatest catch of fish they had ever seen. 8. "But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from mej for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9, For he was amazed, and all that were "with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken." The« exclamation of Simon Peter was wrung from a heart touched with a sense of humility, and his words did not express his thoughts, They were the cry of agonized humility, and only emphasized his own utter unworthiness, 10, "And so were also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon, And - Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou 'shalt catch - men, 11, And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him." Christ said, in effect, that when sin is repented of, abhoryed and confessed, it-need not deter from his presence or service, He can 'do with sinful men who are con. scious of their sinnership. No sin ~~is-too inveterate but that he can cope with it, Stay with him and he will cleanse, heal and save you, sand make you the Instrument of : saving thousands of sinners like yourself, PRINTED TEXT, Luke Sil-11~ |' ~ brought it-to him in a glass, Sa rw? i) Ships--those sim part in winning i G3 CE One of Uncle Sam's Liberty lings' that are going to'play/a big ' # - ly desig signed, all-welded, quickly built "ugly ducks: e war--is pictured departing on. her maiden 'voya; e Sr farm % Canada Backs New Process For Foods Large-scale experimental work and adaptation of commercial plants to the production of dehy- drated vegetables, which may be sent to the United Kingdom in the most useful and economical form, is being sponsored by the Dominion Government, Two plants in Nova Scotia, two in Ontario and one in British Columbia were understood to be preparing to instal the required equipment with federal assistance, boots, diers had been across - Britain their boots."
