FISHES are queer creatures that live in water. Men catch them with hooks and lines or nets and use them for food.

THE GUPPY

Some fish are very large. We read in the Bible of a man named Jonah. He was trying to run away from the Lord, who had called him to a work. While on a ship, during a storm he was thrown into the water. But he did not drown, for a great fish swallowed him, and carried him ashore. He then knew that God meant what he said, and so did as God had commanded.

There are hundreds of different kinds of fishes, and many, many men earn their living by catching and selling them for food.

Some of Christ’s disciples were fishermen when he called them. He told them that he would make them fishers of men. This meant that he would prepare them to help other people to become Christians.
