I Believe in the eternal importance of the home
as the fundamental institution of society.
I Believe in the immeasurable possibilities
of every boy and girl
I Believe in the imagination, the trust, the hopes
and the ideals which dwell in the hearts of all children.
I Believe in the beauty of nature, of art, of books, and of friendship
I Believe in the satisfactions of duty.
I Believe in the little homely joys of everyday life.
I Believe in the goodness of the great design
which lives behind our complex world.
I Believe in the safety and peace which surround us all
through the over-brooding love of God.
