I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day, I'd rather one would walk with me than merely tell the way; The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear, Fine counsel is confusing, but example always clear; The best of all the preachers are the men who live their creed, For to see good put in action is what everybody needs. I soon can learn to do it, if you let me see it done, I can watch your hands in action, your tongue to fast may run; The lecture you deliver may be very wise and true, But I rather get my lessons by observing what you do; I may not understand the high advice you give, But there's no misunderstanding how you act and how you live. Written by the famous poet Edgar Guest... From our 'Fathers' Front porch to yours Ana &Andy
