WHENEVERa doubt arises to the right or ethics of my position or actions towards others, to resolve such doubt against myself.
TO HOLD friendship as an end not a means. to hold that friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one to another, but that true friendship demands nothing and accepts service in the spirit in which it is given.
ALWAYS to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state, my community, and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, Act and deed.  To give freely of my time labor and means.
TO AID my fellow man by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my substance to the needy.
