His life was dedicated to the welfare of others. One of his converts, Mark, once heard him say to a wayward soul, Go thy way and sin no more! In a modern context this admonition applies to those who sin against the environment and encourages us to adopt individually an ecological ethic. Daily we can become more conscious of societys sins which reduce nature's free and sustaining commodities. At this festive season we look forward to continuing enjoyment of our natural surroundings as we participate in making them better for humanity and those who follow after us. The greatest gift a boy can have is the knowledge that a man cares enough to share a part of his life with him. President Thomas J. Watson, Jr. Boy Scouts of America. i |
