FISHERMEN MENDING A BOAT.

HE fishermen are mending their boat with wood and
pitch. The waves have knocked in the side. The pitch
will keep the water from getting between the planks. When
the boat is fit to float again, they will go out and catch more
fish. The fisherman is often wet and cold, when the rain
falls and the storms blow. But he knows Gop can and will
take care of him on the great sea, let it roar ever so loud.
Gop made the deep sea and the rough wind. He can say to
them, “ Peace! be still;” and they must obey Him.

 

THE DAY'S WORK DONE.

It is sunset, and Cobby and his boy are carrying home
their fish. They have caught some lobsters, which they will
sell. Then they will have money to buy food and clothes for
themselves. Who put the fish in the sea? Gop did. So it
is Gop who gives poor fishermen their daily bread.

It is time for us to go to sleep now. To-morrow we will
go down again on the sands, and dig, and build houses, and
pick up the shells, which will sing us a sea song when we
are at home again, far from the fresh seaside.
