Now an interesting question to ponder would be which symbol if presented to 10,000 Christians with the history of the cross and anchor would have a deeper faithful connection with one over the other? The anchor became a key Christian symbol during the period of Roman persecution. Christian use of the anchor echoed Hebrews 6:19: "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."

They are foreigners who have been sent everywhere around the world to teach Christianity A Dead Man's Path" is a short story about a bright and ambitious headmaster named Obi who soon finds that his ignorance over the ancestry of his people can bring about the worst of fates. Tradition is the main theme of this story, as the purpose of the ancient path is discovered and the reactions from Obi and the villagers define the importance of tradition to everyone involved. As events progress, Obi ignores the culture that his own ancestors once followed, soon finding that the passion of a person's beliefs can overcome all obstacles- whether the headmaster wants that or not. It is because of these factors that "A Dead Man's Path" best illustrates the importance of respecting and remembering traditions that may seem odd and old-fashioned, but have lived long in the hearts of the people who follow them.
