THE DECLARATION / PLEDGE READS:

I believe that God did not intend any Beer, Porter, Ale,
Wine, or Cordials containing alcohol, or any Whisky, Brandy,
Rum, Gin, or other Spirits, or any spirituous or fermented or
alcoholic liquors, or Tobacco or Opium, for the diet, or luxury,
or beverage of healthy man.

O Lord, enable me to abstain from giving or partaking, in
any form or degree, of any of these things as such, for Christ's
sake. Amen.
