fishe the apostle says Nevertheless less at thy word I will let down the tue thenet net The following is a resume of the general generl lesson which he drew the Ue gospels gospels text From the tha beginning of ot Christianity the symbol of the fishermans craft has ever been used in evangelical activity The symbol of the old testament is I Jehovah as Israels shepherd and was wa not changed by uy Jesus but was added U to Judaism lived for itself as a under the special specia favor and a guidance of Jehovah for tor its It own blessing and comfort While Jesus Is 15 the Lord Lri and the te Shepherd he ne early begins to in instruct Instruct his disciples so o that they may come to a consciousness that their pur purpose purpose pose and work is to be for the world This hs receives peculiar significance anc when we remember that in 1 the early eary days on the manuscripts embroidered upon the tle winding sheets of or the early Christian Christan dead was the sign of ot the fish The cabalistic word that was wa passed from Cram Christian Christan to Christian was fish being formed from the Initials of or the different names or ot jesus esus used in the Scriptures lesus Christos Ulous Ulous Soter Jesus Christ the Son of or God la Is 11 Savior It points point back back not ot as In Judaism to Abra Abraham Abraham Abraham ham but to Adam the head of our mortal humanity
