What is the aim or goal of your writing: 2nd ed. says, "I believe in God and Jesus Christ. Our world, its inhabitants, its perfect and complete organization, could have been produced only by God. I believe in work, in accomplishing things and completing them. I believe in people and their ability. I feel there are times we need to help those less fortunate than we, that we can serve them at times, and we can aid the young. I thus worked with Boy Scouts for 40 years and with the Battle Creek Lions Club of which I was president. I have also worked with the S.W. Michigan Dental Society, Wilson Ornithological Society and the Ridge Audubon Society at Wales, Florida. I am happy to see boys like two of my grandsons and prior to that, my son, become Eagle Scouts-they finished something they started."
