As individuals our lives are often too crowded; we must not wait " to seek that i are accepting the broader tasks and supporting the many proj ects that come under the heading of WA, Sincere workers in our church life today cam look back, on their youth, where the foundation pre- pared them to go forward with a better insight into nature, bet- ter able to live and work with others.
