"Pledge for American Unity."

1. I will spread no rumor and no slander against any sect.

2. I will never try to indict a whole people by reason of the delinquency of any member.

3. I will daily deal with every man in business, in social and political relations, only on the basis of his true individual worth.

4. In my daily conduct, I will consecrate myself, hour by hour, to the achievement of the highest ideal of the dignity of mankind, equality, human fellowship and human brotherhood.
