The American's Creed Written by William Tyler Page, Clerk of the Committee on Publication. Accepted by the House U. S. House of Representatives, in 1917, and of Representatives, on behalf of the American adopted and promulgated by the Government's People, April 3, 1918. 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: å sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those 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.

Kucera.. 1930 1924 The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception is thus defined by the Catholic Dictionary- "The Blessed Virgin Mary was preserved from the stain of original sin in the first instant of her conception in the womb of her mother. This was a singular privilege and grace of God, granted in view of the merits of Jesus Christ. By her conception is meant not the act or part of her parents in it, nor the formation of her body, nor the conception of Christ later in her own womb; from the moment her soul was created and infused into her body it was free from original sin and Alled with sanctifying grace. Her scul was never stained by original sin, nor by the depraved emotions, passions and weaknesses consequent on that sin, but created in a state of original sanctity, innocence and justice. She had at least the graces of the first Eve before the Fall, and more." |
