“จงตื่นเถิด เปิดตา หาความรู้

เรียนคำครู คำพระเจ้า เฝ้าขยัน

จะอุดม สมบัติ ปัจจุบัน

แต่สวรรค์ ดีกว่า เราอย่าลืม”

From left to right; the dark and lazy world where bat and dog are sleeping under the deadly tree, showing the lazy and uneducated man while on the right, a student holding books and Globe under the full fertile tree.

In the middle, a Christian Missionary holding a boy pointing up to the sky where heavenly father is watching over humanity, which should not be forgotten.

At the top; Jesus Christ is looking down upon us and blessing all the believers with his arms wide open.

At the bottom; engraving the teachings of Rev. F. Hilaire in Thai language " จงตื่นเถิด เปิดตาหาความรู้ เรียนคำครู คำพระเจ้า เฝ้าขยัน จะอุดมสมบัติ ปัจจุบัน แต่สวรรค์ ดีกว่า เราอย่าลืม" which means " Studying and Hardworking are commoners' goals, Being Virtue and Ethical are beyond superior".
