THIS is a picture of a fisherman’s hut. It does not look like the place we call home. How bare and dreary the walls are and how heavy and coarse the furniture is. What a dim light one candle would make.
The man has just come home with a little child who was nearly drowned. The woman feels very sorry for the child and is doing all she can to make it well again. I think they have warmed some milk and are giving it a little at a time.
When the child gets well they will be very happy and if they are Christians, they will thank God for His goodness to them, and they will try to bring the child up in the fear of the Lord.
Our verse says, “whatsoever ye do.” This does not mean only the great things in life; but every little word or deed can be said or done as to the Lord.
