I solemnly declare that as long as I live at Metlakahtla I do adopt the Evangelical Christianity which is based exclusively upon the teaching of the Bible as my rule of faith. I also adopt the Residents of Metlakahtla as my brethren; I choose to be governed by the laws of the Queen of England, and I will dutifully submit to the bye-laws imposed by the Native Council of the settlement.

I also declare that I will neither do myself nor allow to be done by those under my control anything within my power to restrain whereby the Christian Church at Metlakahtla would be divided, the peace disturbed, or that is contrary to the welfare and morals of the village, but I vow that I will do my best to promote the spiritual and temporal prosperity of my home.
