"Our emblem is a gold wheel

Banded with deepest blue

Each shining spoke tipped with a star

The distaff shining through;

The only jewel in the world

That money cannot buy

Without such proof of ancestry

As no one can deny."

THE HUB: Each loyal Daughter's heart
EACH SPOKE: A thought of those from whom we part;
THE TIE: A noble life well rounded out;

EACH STAR: A deed of kindness as we go about

EACH FLAXEN THREAD: A cord of love to bind us closer day by day;

THE DISTAFF: A rod of love to guide us all the way.

Scripture:
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Mark 12:31

The American's Creed

by William Tyler Page

"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 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."

-- Written 1917, accepted by the United States House of Representatives on April 3, 1918.
