THe Holy Anglers 3 



His pulpit was a fishing boat or the shore of a lake. 

 He was in the stern of the boat, asleep. He was 

 always near the water to cheer and comfort those who 

 followed it." And Walton tells us that "when God 

 intended to reveal high notions to His prophets He 

 carried them to the shore, that He might settle their 

 mind in a quiet repose." 



Bream and chub are not monster fishes they do 

 not average the great weights of the tarpon and the 

 tuna; they are of the small and medium-size species; 

 so, if the apostles were pleased with "ye gods and little 

 fishes/' we mortals of to-day should be satisfied with 

 our catch, be it ever so small.
