Many of us exclaimed,
"What an order! I can't go through with it."
Do not be discouraged.
No one among us has been able to maintain
anything like perfect adherence to these principles.
We are not saints.
The point is, that we are willing to grow
along spiritual lines.
The principles we have set down
are guides to progress.
We claim spiritual progress
rather than spiritual perfection.
Give me the courage to be imperfect.
S L I P = So Long! I'm Perfect.
