I will keep my eyes and ears open to enjoy the world about me, and my
mind alert to understand and appreciate the good things mankind has
provided for me--science and art, poetry and music, history and
story.
May God, the kind and loving Father, help me all my life to see the
right way and to follow it.
MORAL CODE FOR YOUTHS
I am happy to be a member of that great human society which has
accumulated all the treasures of civilization. I have benefited by
the united labors of all mankind; for this I owe a debt of gratitude
to humanity, a debt I can pay only by serving that humanity to the
fullest extent of my ability. Through small services freely given
toward the comfort and happiness of my associates, I may grow in
power of usefulness and in my turn contribute to the welfare of the
generations that are to come.
My body is the instrument of my mind and the foundation of my
character. Every organ must be conserved to perform its proper
function in the development and perfection of my life. I will,
therefore, eat only wholesome food, breathe pure air, take ample
exercise and sleep, and keep my body clean and sound. To this end, I
will refrain from the use of intoxicating drinks, narcotics and
stimulants; these lend only a seeming strength, but in reality they
undermine my powers of service and of lasting happiness.
