Duties of the Sons of the People

  • Love God with all your heart.

  • Bear always in mind that the love of God is also the love of Country, and this too, is love of one's fellow-men.

  • Engrave in your heart that the true measure of honor and happiness is to die for the freedom of your country.

  • All your good wishes will be crowned with success if you have serenity, constancy, reason, and faith in your acts and endeavor.

  • Guard the mandates and aims of the K.K.K. as you guard your honor.

  • It is the duty of all to deliver, at the risk of their own lives and wealth anyone who runs great risks in the performance of his duty.

  • Our responsibility to ourselves and the performance of our duties will be the example set for our fellow-men to follow.

  • Insofar as it is within your power, share your means with the poor and the unfortunate.

  • Diligence in the work that gives sustenance to you is the true basis of love -- love for yourself, for your wife and children, and for your brothers and countrymen.

  • Punish any scoundrel and traitor and praise all good work. Believe, likewise, that the aims of the K.K.K. are God-given for the will of the people is also the will of God.
