should solemnly resolve that we
will not knowingly violate any Of the
laws of the land; that we will hold
sacred the Constitution of our coun-
try. We should covenant with our.
selves that we will not encourage
others to disregard our laws, even
though it be by remaining silent
when our laws are violated. We
should pledge ourselves not alone to
law observance. but also to the aim
and purpose of militant Americanism,
which devotes its best effort to pre-
vent lawlessness, to promote rever-
ence for laws and to create an abid.
ing devotion to the free institutions
Of our beloved republic.
