reciting the Missionary Pledge:
- "I pledge by daily reading, meditation and communion
with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to live an upright Christian
life, to practice His teachings in my dealings with my fellow man; to
dedicate my talent and give of my time, influence and means to teaching
or spreading the Christian religion at home and abroad. To win souls
through personal service for Christ; to encourage and help in the
enlistment of young people in Christian work and to make my home a
center of Christian light and love. To these ends, I pledge to devote
myself and seek divine aid and guidance daily that I may become a living
witness and a bright and shining light for my Lord"
