The Jaycee Creed
By C. William Brownfield
We Believe: That faith in God gives meaning
and purpose to human life.
That the brotherhood of man transcends
the sovereignty of nations.
That economic justice can best be won
by free men through free enterprise.
That government should be of laws
rather than of men.
That earth's great treasure
lies in human personality.
And that service to humanity is
the best work of life. |
