I'd rather see a sermon tha...SERMONS WE SEE<br /><br /> I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day ;<br /> I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way.<br /> The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear ;<br /> Fine council is confusing , but example's always clear ;<br /> And the best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds ,<br /> For to see good put in action is what everybody needs.<br /><br /><br /> I soon can learn to do it if you'll let me see it done ;<br /> I can watch your hands in action , but your tongue too fast may run.<br /> And the lecture you deliver may be very wise and true ,<br /> But I'd rather get my lessons by observing what you do ;<br /> For I might misunderstand you and the high advice you give ,<br /> But there's no misunderstanding how you act and how you live<br /><br /><br /> One good man teaches man , men believe what they behold ;<br /> One deed of kindness noticed is worth forty that are told .<br /> Who stands with men of honor learns to hold his honor dear .<br /> For right living speaks a language which to everyone is clear .<br /> Though an able speaker charms me with his eloquence , I say ,<br /> I'd rather see a sermon than to hear one any day .<br /><br /><br /> Edgar A.
