"'Reverence for Life' was an article published to be used by teachers of three different courses of the Sunday School in 1960. The name of Albert Schweitzer is prominent in the article, first by a sketch of his activity in a hospital. The caption of the sketch of Schweitzer stressed his concept of 'reverence for life.' The editor's preface to the article stated that 'an attitude of respect or reverence for life is one thing that will help a person to exercise self-control in human relations.' The article reminds the youth that God 'does not want man to hurt and kill animals and people needlessly,' He would rather have youth 'show respect for life as [did] Albert Schweitzer.'"
