- 6. Be reverent. Worship the Great Spirit, and respect all worship of Him by others, for none have all the truth; and all who reverently worship have claims on our respect.”
The third Reciter (as above):
“From the Great Central Fire, I light this, the lamp of Fortitude. From it are these three rays:
- 7. Be brave. Courage is the noblest of all attainments. Fear is in the foundation of all ill; unflinchingness is strength.
- 8. Be silent while your elders are speaking, and otherwise show them deference. It is harder to keep silence than to speak in the hour of trial; but in the end, it is stronger.
- 9. Obey. Obedience is the first duty of the Woodcrafter. Obedience means self-control, which is the sum of the law.”
Fourth Reciter (as above):
“From the Great Central Fire, I light this, the Blazing Lamp of Love. From it are these three rays:
- 10. Be kind. Do at least one act of unbargaining service each day, even as ye would enlarge the crevice whence a spring runs forth to make its blessings
more.
- 11. Be helpful. Do your share of the work for the glory that the service brings, for the strength one gets in serving.
- 12. Be joyful. Seek the joy of being alive — for every reasonable gladness that you can get or give, is treasure that can never be destroyed; and, like the
springtime gladness, doubles every time with others it is shared.”
The Little Lodge has but four laws, — one under each lamp.
- 1. I must keep myself and the things about me clean.
- 2. I must play fair.
