" John 12:27. There is a note of urgency [ about these words. Jesus was I facing the ordeal of the ■ cross. In agony of spirit He creid. “What shall I say? Fa ' ther save me from this hour. But for this cause came I to this hour.” The important thing for Him was the CAUSE, not the : HOUR But the cause of ac- , । centuates individual respon- I : sibility and emphasizes the urgency for us. It is time for ' those who care to take initia- , ' tive in the stimulating so- i ciety to plan solutions to its j problems Jesus came to release, re- i deem, restore life. This be comes our cause as well. We , are to relieve the misery of | mankind and to eliminate I the causes of this misery. . Only then can mankind move toward freedom, plenty and human dignity As Wal lace Hamilton says, “Conser vation is one of the ‘other words of God' upon which life depends." There have been three waves of enthusiasm about conservation, according to Cecil W Chapman. State Conservationist, who is serv ing as president of the Soil ’ Conservation Society of I America this year. The first grew out of the concern for i the forests which were being depleted. The second grew | out of the concern for soil j and water Indeed, without I i these to sustain life, man will i not be able to live upon the ■ face of the earth. The third , wave, and we are in it now’, ! springs from a concern for the totality of man's en ■ vironment. It is seen that soil, air, water, and open space are all essential ele ments for the continuation of man’s life upon the earth. They provide the environ ment in which he can grow i and achieve.
