Doing Good to All Men

We need to mirror the ability to state clearly and without equivocation our individual commitment to a statement of faith such as this:

"We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul - We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things."

- a portion of a reply to the Chicago Democrat in 1842

What a better world this would become!
