Here Is My Creed. I Believe In One God, Creator Of The Universe. That He Governs It By His Providence. That He Ought To Be Worshiped. That The Most Acceptable Service We Render Him Is Doing Good To His Other Children. That The Soul Of Man Is Immortal, And Will Be Treated With Justice In Another Life Respecting Its Conduct In This.
