the answer. Remember at the begin-

I am tempted to think it is as complex
as the complexities of our modern
society--and that there is possibly a
direct relationship. There are
numerous theories and I have a few of

The Fisher of Men
Simon was acclaimed the best fisherman of his
day. Somehow lately his catch had been
small, however. Ho hoped for full nets
but, unhappily, they were often empty .
when he brought them up. He could
not hide hia disappointment from
all that watched him.
It was then that Christ said "Cast the net again
Simon.', Simon quickly obeyed and behold
the nat was so full of fish that it broke.
Christ wanted to demonstrate to Simon
that there are as many men to be
saved as there are fish to be
caught. Thus, Simon Peter be-
came the great fisher of men
--going forth to teach all
nations of the power of
Jesus Christ.
