Dear Ranger Commanders:

I want to thank you for your service to the Lord.

I have a photograph on my desk, a picture of myself as a little boy near an old farm-house. I often wonder who would have looked on that little boy and predicted the future that God had for him. We never know the future that God has for the young boys that God asks us to reach, teach, and keep.
I challenge you to continue in this cause - to do your best, with all patience, and be continually filled with the Holy Ghost. "Do not be weary in well doing, for in due time we shall reap a harvest, if we do not lose heart."

May God bless you and help you.
Dr. Jay A. Herdon
District Secretary-Treasurer
