That, with God’s help l w ill live a true life, with one supreme ambi tion, namely, to do His w ill and spend my life in unselfish endeavor to present the Gospel of Salvation to mankind. 2. That, I w ill live a quiet, rest fu l life, not anxious nor restless, knowing that “It is not by might nor by power, but His Sp irit’ that victory and success are won. 3.

That, my ambition w ill not be greater than my judgment in caring for my body, so that I w ill be able to do the work to which He assigns me. That I w ill live, at stated periods, close to Nature that my body may be re-created and my soul refreshed. 8. That, I shall endeavor to intro duce at least one person to Jesus Christ each day and teach them to know Him as a personal Saviour. Where a conversation is either un- advisable or impossible other means to the same end shall be employed, such as tracts and other religious lit erature. 9.
