Life
Life is a book of Volumes Three,
The Past, the Present, and the yet to Be;
The first is written and laid away,
The second, we’re writing day by day,
The next, and last, of Volumes Three,
Is lost from sight—God holds the key.
* * *
The Americans Creed
I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable, established upon the principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity, for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.—William Tyler Page.
Pledge
Acknowledging my membership in Cosmos Study Club as something worthy of my best efforts, and realizing that the sum of enjoyment and improvement consists in individual contribution, I promise so far as lies within my power to do my part.
* * *
Club Collect
Keep us, O God, from pettiness; let us be large in thought, in word, in deed. Let us be done with fault-finding and leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretense and meet each other face to face without self pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous.
Let us take time for all things; make us grow calm, serene, gentle.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences, that in the big things of life we are as one.
And may we strive to touch and to know the great common woman’s heart of us all; and O Lord God, let us not forget to be kind.—Mary Stuart.
