10 THE NEW LIFE MOVEMENT ii) The same high standard of
morality for men as for women.
lit Avoiding unclean language and improper stories in conversation or in writing.
c) Combating immoral litera- ture, pictures and cines.
d) Doing my best to help in producing attractive, in- teresting, wholesome, help- ful literature and amuse- ments; intriguing the minds and' shaping the ideals and calling forth the best in young and old.
e) Studying my own talents and not being satisfied until I am using them tc the full to help other peo- ple to enjoy life in a whole- some and Christian man- 7. As a Christian citizen:
a) 1 shall ask Christ to direct my vote. I shall practice and promote clean pol- itics. I shall exert my
influence against the use of alcoholic breverages, sweepstakes, cock .fight-
ing, and other forms of gambling. as practices which I consider destruc-
tive of character and so- cial welfare. I shall keep
my heart tender toward all who are oppressed or who art neglected by the wo'kl. I shall treat my own employees or em- ployers as I would have them treat mr.
b) I shall seek to foster, wherever possible, such projects in human brother, hood as cooperatives.
e) Since war and militarism are greater menaces than ever before in world his- tory, I shall study these problems in an earnest ef- fort to discover what Christ wants me to do in order to put an end to them.
I know that the best gift I can make to my country is the gift of my own highest, most Christ- filled life. The world can be saved only as one burning heart sets another on fire. Since Christ pleads for our Philippines to be- come the model of Christian de- mocracy in the Orient, I throw- open the windows of my will to- ward Him and ask Him to be-
gin in me.
