Resolves

For the practical support of our common life, we resolve:

  • Daily, in secret, to seek our Maker and Friend.
  • To shepherd our families with courage and constancy.
  • As citizens, to be loyal to the church, school and town.
  • To strive in some worthy cause, and to persevere.
  • To transcend all distinctions of rank, race, party or sect.
  • To pray for the awakening of our dear country.
  • To cloak our idealism and good works in humility and humor.
