| I believe in God, Grand Architect of the Universe, the Alpha of the unreckoned yesterdays, the Omega of the impenetrable tomorrows, the beginning and the ending.
I believe in Man, potentially, God’s other self; often faltering on his way upward, but irrepressible in the urge to scale the Spiritual Annapurnas.
I believe in Freemasonry, the corporate adventure in Universal brotherhood, despising kinship with no child of the All-Father.
I believe in Prince Hall Masonry, a door of benevolence securely tiled against the unworthy, but open wide to men of good report, whether Aryan or Hottentot.
I believe in Masonic Vows, the troths of true men plighted to their better selves.
