Jaycees Creed
We Believe . . .
That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human
life;
That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty
of nations;
That economic justice can best be won by free men
through free enterprise;
That government should be of laws rather than of men;
That earth's great treasure lies in human personality;
And that service to humanity is the best work of life."
