Miraculous Draughts Of Fishes as re-
corded in Saint Luke V and Saint
John XXI. After a careful study of

:erences were noted

" All kinds of fishes caught
Y Ships began to sink
VI Cast nets anywhere, everywhere
VII Two ships
SAINT JOHN
After the Resurrection
II Eleven and Christ present
III 153 fishes
" Only great Fishes caught
V Ship did not sink
VI Cast nets only on right side
VII One ship.
APPLICATION:
/. The first occurred before the
Resurrection and the second after the
Resurrection of Christ And the points
OF difference following show q striking
to the state of the Church
and after the final Resurrection.
II, In the first a great multitude
was present, those who believed and
those VINO were there out of curiosity.
But after the Resurrection, there shall
be only those present directly and
definately interested
III In the first the number of
fishes was not known. So likewise be-
fore she Resurrection, or the church
in this world shall not know the def
nate number of those who belong to
the true fold, but after the Resurrec
ton, their number shell be known, as
Saint John says in Revelation: Il heard |
the number Of them.
". Again in the church in this
world there shall be all kinds of peo-
pie those who hope to gain prestige,
or social position, or business, and
those who belong from sincere pur-
pose, all shall be togetherin the church
and the hypocrites cannot be separated
from the sincere. But after the Resur-
rection, only the great, the true, the
good shall be present.
Y, In the first the ships began to
sink, which is symbolical of the church
in this world, which makes its mis-
takes, is liable to fall away from itsI
true mission, is liable to sink away
from Christ and His Word. But after
the Resurrection, the Church cannot
fall for it will stand definately upon its
true Rock, Christ, and will not sink
VI. Just as in this case, they cast
their nets on both sides of the ships,
so the church in this world is to go into
all the world, teaching and baptizing
