- G God: God made the Earth and governs it and will hold it to account.
- E Earth: God made Mankind and commanded him to take care of the Earth.
- M Mankind: Mankind today rules over and populates the Earth.
- S School: Mankind made School to learn how to take care of the Earth.
Work is intended to be a privilege and pleasure for Mankind in honouring their God, serving their fellow human beings and caring for the earth.
