out will appear. God seems not to
like to do business with idlers; whereas
the devil traffics chiefly with persons
who are not busy. The four fisher
men were toiling at the drudgery of
their heavy calling-I am thinking of
the huge oars and cumbersome boats
of Galilee-when Jesus appeared to
them. Nets were weighty, and the
men worked. often up to their middle

They speak and write to the occasion
and to the hour Such a one was
Jesus. the most vivid of teachers. On
this tour Of Galilee. wherein He called
the four first disciples. He was preach
ing the present good news OF a king
dom near at hand--"the time is full
f1lled"-and echoing Johns great call
to repentance.
This fact Is often forgotten. Jesus
began his ministry by proclaiming a
better social order. He was the expo
nent Of a kingdom, an organization
Of men and women with God as their
king. Anybody who says that religion
has nothing to do with conditions in
the world, and with the welfare Of
people economically and socially, has
been blind reader OF the Bible
Moreover. there will be no new era for
humanity until great many persons
have heard the divine call and COM
mand, Repent ve." Both nations
and men will have to mend their WAYS
II We are to have the good time which
has ever been the burden of prophetic
messages. Things will never be right
with men until men get right with
God.
The news sense" of Jesus was fur
ther illustrated by His manner Of
summoning the four fishermen to join
Him in His kingdom enterprise. AS
always, He avoided set forms OF
speech. He would not Use the stereo-
typed phrases Of the rabbis His un-
conventional invitation was. Come
We after Me. and I will make YOU to
become fishers Of men" Isn't that
picture phrase? These seekers after
the finny creatures Of the deep were
given opportunity to catch men alive.
SEEKING the Main Chance.
There probably never was an old
bore who did not have tales to tell
of what he might have been or might
have done had he seized his hour Of
opportunity. Forty years hence thou
sands of young men of today will be
telling their grandchildren that they
were alive throughout the world
crisis hour. but failed to see its pos
sibilities for them. They did not
have the insight and the decision to
forsake all and follow the great call
Not SO these four fishermen. Our
hearts warm TO them as men of
action. They heard the voice of OPP
portunity. the call of the New Leader,
and they answered with military
promptness. "Here!"
All taking up entails giving up
The four left their nets and their jobs
and their old ordered life They had
the high spirit of adventure. They
gave up everything in order to follow
Jesus; which is the price He asks of
all disciples He will accept no
divided allegiance. But to those who
follow Him. what boons are theirs!
This quartet of obscure Galileans
became intimate friends of Gods sent
Son. and fishers of men by the mil
lion, and founders of the new kingdom
which is today the one sure hope Of
humanity.
