Jaycee Creed
|

We Believe:
T
hat
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 greatest
treasure lies in human personality; And that service to humanity is the
best work of life!
