Great quote

"With all their imperfections, which were both numerous and great, these humble fishermen of Galilee had, at the very onset of their career, one grand distinguishing virtue, which is the certain forerunner of ultimate high attainment. They were animated by a devotion to Jesus and to the divine kingdom which made them capable of any sacrifice. One charge only can be brought against those men, and it can be brought with truth and without doing their memory harm. They were enthusiasts. Their hearts were fired, and as an unbelieving world might say, their heads were turned by a dream of a divine kingdom to be set up in Israel, with Jesus of Nazareth for the king. That dream possessed them, and imperiously ruled over their minds and shaped their destinies, compelling them, like Abraham, to leave their country, and to go forth on what might well appear beforehand to be a fool’s errand.For it was no fool’s errand on which they went forth, leaving their nets behind. The fishermen of Galilee did become fishers of men on a most extensive scale, and by the help of God, gathered many souls into the church to be saved. In a sense, they are casting their nets into the sea of the world still, and by their testimony to Jesus in the Gospels and Epistles, are still bringing multitudes to become disciples of Him."
