Mark 1:16-18 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.… I. THAT GOOD MEN SHOULD TAKE EVERY OPPORTUNITY FOR SEEKING THE MORAL WELFARE OF THOSE WITH WHOM THEY ARE BROUGHT INTO INCIDENTAL CONTACT. II. That good men in embracing every opportunity for the moral welfare of others, might with great advantage APPEAL TO THEM THROUGH THEIR SECULAR CALLING, MAKING IT SYMBOLICAL OF RELIGIOUS WORK AND TRUTH. "I will make you to become fishers of men." 1. This method of appeal is attractive. 2. It may be opportune. 3. It is effective. (Joseph S. Exell, M. A.)
