Simon Peter said to them, I go a fishing. They say to him, We also go with you. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately…


I. LEADERS. In Church and State these, like Peter, should be men of —

1. Prompt resolution.

2. Self-reliant action.

3. Cheery expectation.

4. Contagious inspiration.

II. FOLLOWERS. Like Peter's companions, these should be —

1. Unbroken in their ranks — "We."

2. Hearty in their co-operation "also."

3. Simultaneous in their movement — "Go."

4. Unenvious in their dispositions — "With thee."

(T. Whitelaw, D. D.)
